Intro
We all screw up sometimes. Nobody’s perfect! But it’s important to clear the air after you make a mistake.
If you did something wrong and you feel guilty, it’s time to confess. Tell the other person you’re sorry. Hopefully they’ll forgive you.
Just make sure you’re really sorry! An insincere apology isn’t any good, either.
