I had a best friend in school, who betrayed me and I cut ties with her at 15. 10 years later she messaged me and apologized, saying she always regretted hurting me and she always felt sad she lost me.
I remember at that time at 15 I felt betrayed and that was my first encounter with betrayal but now I think it’s such a funny story. I was thinking of the reason I stopped being friends with her and I find it so funny and childish from this perspective. However, I think I was right because at that time I really did feel betrayed.
She apologized to me and we remembered some of the great stories from our childhood that was kinda missed from my memory.
I feel happy she reached out, her words made me happy and gave me the answer I wanted to get 10 years ago.
I just feel surprised that we usually get closure and apologize years later, when we don’t even remember the story anymore. Seems like people who wronged us realize it too later.
I feel sorry for her, I feel sorry that she has been feeling guilty and carrying this guilty with her all this time, while I almost didn’t even remember her anymore.
