In my life, I have seen a lot of bridges being burned. A relationship that seemed totally unsalvagable is completely tossed out the window. The thing about burnt bridges though... It's like you can burn away the wood but the foundation can still remain. It seems like, even though the bridge has been burnt, the relationship can still move forward through someone admitting their wrongs and apologizing.
Ive come to find that just wanting the best for someone, letting it go and not expecting anything is the best way to move forward, because that allows the other person the space to reflect without feeling pressured or without any hard feelings. My coworker apologizing to me (even though she kind of deflected the responsibility a little bit) was a very profound moment, I hope for her as well as myself. We wasted a lot of time avoiding each other but in that moment where she realized that leaving things the way they were wasn't right, that's true humanity. Love it.
What's a scenario where you weren't expecting an apology but it meant so much to you?
