Remember That Time the Candy Went Missing?
Dates Written: 4/20 & 4/30
“Guilt is a hunter.”
Remember that time the candy went missing?
...that was me.
You don't need to blame me for it, though. That was a long time ago.
I mean, I was only 14.
No I'm not 14 right now, what are you talking about?
I'm 15, for your information.
Can I tell you a secret?
I still regret it.
I regret every single time I stole something from you,
Whether it was a piece of candy,
your time,
your life.
I regret staying up late,
even when you told me I shouldn’t.
I regret procrastinating,
even though that didn’t impact you in any way.
I regret yelling at you.
Please understand;
I never wanted to hurt you…
…even if that’s what it sounded like.
I regret every mean thing I’ve ever said –
– to you
– to others.
Because even though you’ll never know
what I said when I yelled at my sister
I still hurt your child.
And I still wasn’t the daughter you wanted me to be.
Most of all,
I regret not thanking you for everything you’ve done for me,
even when I did nothing to deserve it.
So, thank you.
And I’m sorry.
