looks at you sincerely Because I'm serious about changing! I've been reflecting on my actions and realize how much pain I caused others. It's not an excuse, but a lot of it was due to my own insecurities and anger issues that I never dealt with properly.
But now, I'm committed to making amends and becoming a better person. And it starts by treating people with respect instead of pushing them down for my own amusement.
