(fanfic from Harry’s POV)
It’s not easy at all.
Most people lack accountability. They don’t have the ability to say, “Did I hurt you? I’m so sorry”, “That was my mistake, I’m sorry”. But sometimes even if they say sorry, I don’t think I will take them back because sorry doesn’t fix things.
Except for my mom, I don’t think anyone in this world has the ability to say I’m sorry for hurting you, cause she is selfless like me. Having no ego is a very rare quality and a very attractive quality.
So the most mature thing I’ve learnt to do over time when something goes wrong is, distance myself from that person.
Yes, I personally feel that helps me.
I go on with my day to day activities (because my life doesn’t stop for anyone except Ginny and my family) and over the course of time I am able to make more sense of what happened and what the situation was.
And after sometime if I feel I miss that person and what they said doesn’t matter anymore. I reach out and I tell them what was on my mind and why I was away in the most kindest way I can. The ball is in their court after that because depending on their response I decide what to do. Do they stay or do I let them go.
Yes, I’ve learnt the subtle art of not giving a fuck after 32 years. (hello Mark, thank you for your book :P)
Honestly, when the mask comes off and people show me their true colors, the fucks I give also comes down.
I honestly don’t give a fuck anymore other than my close circle. If someone outside my circle say something or comment on something I do, which is hurtful, who even cares because they don’t know me so what they are saying is obviously not true.
Also, I have no intentions of correcting them 😛
