I was gone for two years and realized what empathy was. To this day I still feel bad about calling her that word above. I have not yet apologized to her, she might hate my guts, but I know that I deserve to be hated by her. I really did like her as I got to know her better. I learned that the words that come out of your mouth are words you can't take back. So you need to be careful so you don't say something that you might regret.

My Favorite Mistake
I have always had trouble controlling my anger. I liked this girl, I really wanted to get to know her. I asked her out and even though it was against her parents rules she went out with me. I called her a name that no girl should be called. To this day I still regret calling her this.
It all started when I started to like a girl named MaggieTanner. One day, when I finally had the guts to ask Maggie out, but before I could, I was rejected by her telling me how my friend Dylan Lewis asked her out. I was mad at Dylan at first, but I got over it. He was still my friend, and I was still his. I still talked to Maggie about this other girl that I liked. Ali Petit.
I was sad and depressed still about Maggie for awhile. One day I felt a little better. I was not as angry as I was so I asked out Ali. We were together for about four months. I was so happy when I was with Ali, that I kind of forgot about Maggie. I was in love and I wanted to be with Ali. She was basically the only thing that I thought about. When I think about this I was really stupid to be so involved with one girl.
One night I get a text from her asking me if we could be friends. I was mad at first, but I got over it. I said that I would like to be friends still, Maggie was talking to Ali and found out that Ali was using me to try to make Dylan jealous. I was furious. When I think about it now I realize that I was doing trying to do the same thing, but it was with Maggie. All I thought about was myself. When my friends asked about Ali, I referred to her as The Bitch. I now think of myself as a jerk for doing the same thing as her.
I was gone for two years and realized what empathy was. To this day I still feel bad about calling her that word above. I have not yet apologized to her, she might hate my guts, but I know that I deserve to be hated by her. I really did like her as I got to know her better. I learned that the words that come out of your mouth are words you can't take back. So you need to be careful so you don't say something that you might regret.

I like this one because it talks about love, jealousy and empathy. I like how you felt a grey at Ali for why she was dating to and how you understood that you where dong the samthing to Maggie. I liked how you and your friend still where friends in the end to.
I also have trouble controlling my anger, it's not as easy as it looks. Trying to control it, it's like trying to tell a wolf to stay or go lay down, it's impossible to do. I know from experience anger it's hard, it hurts those around you, you lose friends, and your family splits. It's good and it's bad to have anger but in the situations it works. But only if you know how to us it right.
Yeah I have done something like that I was with this girl and I moved out of state for a couple months and came back and found out that my best friend got with her. So I kicked my best friends ass which I wish I wouldn't of but i though I could get her back this way but it didn't ha but it just showed me that she was just a hoe so I called her a hoe for like ever and then my homes broke up with her and called her a hoe because he didn't no that she was my girl so we both started calling her a hoe then she went straight lez which made me feel bad for her for something and still I haven't said sorry think I will to day but I learned that I should of just said forget it.
I hope now you understand this story of yourself to the fullest extent.Somtimes when someone is hurting you,you hurt them back.Without even knowing it.Most of the time it just make things all the worst.
Props to you for finding something good in it. Lots of people seem to not have the capacity of brain cells for it haha. Really though, it sounds like you're learning a lot. And man, people can be scandalous. I guess it is how we handle things, that counts. Keep your head up. The right one will come at the right time. Lol not try a go mom on you or anything just saying.
I did apologize to her. She's still angry at me but at least I apologized. After all it's all I can do. We are now friends but we aren't as close as we were in the eighth grade.
I'm glad that you realize every thing you say has an impact. Some people throw words around like they're nothing. I don't agree with you saying you deserve her hatred though. I think if you apologized and explained everything to her she would be able to forgive you and you wouldn't be so troubled anymore.
Little Michael, all I can say is props for applying things you've learned in your life. Just keep up the good work, I would expect that your would do this sort of thing- ( applying empathy)- because it is the foundation of all things righteous and worth striving for, without empathy I'm afraid your will have a very rough life ahead of you, same with anyone. Keep up the great work good buddy!😄
