no matter how much you fight

I'm Not A Saint - Billy Raffoul

most people refuse to hear this: forgiveness is needed in real relationships. finally need to accept the fact that your partner isn't perfect and neither are you! check yourself first before you blame someone else for things they did not do. sometimes, you're the toxic person. sometimes, you hurt people. sometimes, you need to apologize. because only from understanding that you make mistakes there can be growth at all. strive for continuous improvement, stop faking perfection. here's a friendly reminder that "doing your best" does not include pushing yourself to the limits of your endurance. it does only include doing the best you can do without hurting yourself. a further, even friendlier reminder, that it's completely okay to take longer than others at figuring out how to apologize when you hurt somebody. the most important thing is that you do apologize at all. what's done has been done and you can't change it. so take your time to process the events. also, it's completely fine that you don't do as much as someone else. they're not you, and your way of figuring out life is just as valid as theirs.
