I feel a bit better about the day ahead

After a good nights sleep, I went to bed super early (but did stay awake chatting on here for a while.) Today is still going to be really hard, but hopefully it’s going to work out ok.
I listened to some podcasts yesterday about bullying and hearing people talk about their experiences was really upsetting and triggering for me.
Thanks to someone’s advice on here, I have written to one of the girls I bullied and have received some responses. I wouldn’t say that we’re friends yet, but it has been a really good experience. We’ve talked openly about what I did to her and how it made her feel. It’s been really eye opening.
I hope everybody has a nice day.

That’s good you reached out in a positive way. Most never do.

It took a long time for me to do it. I buried my head in the sand for a few years, wishing it would just go away. I realised that I needed to do something though. @MellyMel22

@Strongtea Well I’m proud of you. It shows you’ve changed for the better.

Thankyou so much! That really means a lot. I know I was not the greatest person in the world and I can’t undo what I did to people, but hopefully I can be a good person from now on. @MellyMel22

@Strongtea I can see a change from long ago when you were here, so you clearly are better!

I kinda cringe at what I was like when I first joined. I’m glad that I come across much better now. Thanks. @MellyMel22
