A very sorry little one, just like me right now

i am really
so sorry

Mariem 🤍

i got too loud when i should've listened.
so i made u somewhere quiet to hear this ~
a little apology, with all my heart.

it gets warmer further down ↓

✦ 01 · the honest part ✦

here's exactly
what i did

no excuses. no making it smaller.
u deserve a proper apology.

the part i wish i could undo

we were arguing about work, and i raised my voice at u. i let my frustration turn into shouting, and that wasn't okay.

u were talking to me. u deserved to be heard, with patience and respect, even when we didn't agree.

work being stressful doesn't excuse how i spoke to u. that was on me, Mariem.

× no “but”× no “u also”× no excuses

i was wrong. i'm really sorry. ♡

✦ 02 · my favourite us ✦

this. this is the us
i love so much

four little reminders of my favourite thing:
being with u. 🤍

Me and Mariem together, memory 1
my favourite place? next to u. ♡
Me and Mariem together, memory 2
just us. that's everything.
Me and Mariem together, memory 3
u make the ordinary feel special ✦
Me and Mariem together, memory 4
always my favourite person. ♡

i'd choose us over winning an argument. every time.
i'm sorry i didn't act like it.

✦ 03 · from my heart ✦

p.s. the whole thing

the words i wish i'd found sooner ~

hey Mariem, my love 🤍

A sad little face with a very sorry heart

i wish i could go back to that conversation and lower my voice. take a breath. let u finish. remember that the person in front of me is someone i love, not someone i need to win against.

we can disagree about work. we can see things differently. but none of that gives me a reason to shout at u.

i'm sorry for how i spoke to u. for letting a disagreement get louder than the love and respect i have for u.

u deserve the gentle version of me.
especially when things aren't easy.

i don't want this to be just a cute page that says the right things. next time i feel myself getting frustrated, i want to pause, calm down, and come back ready to listen.

u don't have to rush to make me feel better. and u don't have to say “it's okay” if it still isn't. when u want to talk, i want to hear u properly.

i love u, Mariem. i'm really sorry.
and when u're ready, i'd really love to hug u.

still yours, with a very sorry heart ♡

a little page. a very real apology.

✦ the last page ✦

it's ur call now

a flower, an apology, and one very hopeful me ~

A little sweetheart offering u a flower

(one of these buttons is a little shy)

the button's teasing. i'm not rushing u.
take all the time u need, my love. ♡
