… afterall, I CAN ALWAYS APOLOGIZE.
Don’t intentionally hurt people simply because you believe you can apologize later. Too many have adopted a careless confidence in the power of “I’m sorry,” forgetting that apologies don’t erase wounds — they only acknowledge them.
When you are loose, carefree, or dismissive with people’s emotions, you gamble with things far more fragile than you imagine. Yes, many will forgive — because forgiveness is noble, mature, and healing. But forgiveness is not restoration. It does not rewind trust. It does not reset the heart. It does not automatically repair what was broken.
The truth is simple:
Some changes are silent. Some distances are invisible. Some damages are permanent — even after the apology.
So be intentional. Be kind. Handle people’s hearts with care. Don’t rely on “I’m sorry” to fix what your actions should have protected in the first place.
