Sometimes we find ourselves in unexpected situations—moments we didn't see coming until they happened, or perhaps we did see them coming, but stayed because we had a history with a person or a group. 

Whatever the case may be, you might find yourself apologizing to yourself, wishing it had never happened. You might owe yourself an apology. 

It's okay if you ended up in a difficult situation and only remained because you didn't see a way out, or because you justified the behavior of others. Maybe you stayed due to your history with them or simply because you knew them for so long that you didn't question their actions or didn't see it until something opened your eyes about them. 

We've all been there, and it happens to everyone eventually. We tend to find other excuses to justify someone's behavior towards ourselves or other people. What we need to be doing is calling those people out. If someone is hurting you, don't sit there and take it. Stand up for yourself and speak out against those people. Let them know that their hurting you and that they could've been way nicer to you than what they said or did.

You don't need to take what people do or say to you that upsets you. If you're stuck in a situation where you know it's not good for you, do whatever you can to call those people out, tell them it's not right, and leave the situation before it gets worse.

You're not weak at all for leaving something that could end badly for yourself or to someone else. Don't be part of something that you could very well end up regretting later on. And most certainly don't stay in a situation where you're getting picked on or put down and belittled. 

What matters now is that you see the need to leave that person or group behind. You don't have to prioritize them over yourself any longer. You were never meant to justify their behavior or make excuses for their actions. You were never meant to be used in a way that left you feeling helpless, but that's what happened. But now you're out of it and are free from that torment you didn't deserve. 

Now that you're out of that situation, it's time to focus on your feelings. You can start to prioritize yourself and your well-being. You no longer need to defend or justify anyone else's actions. You are free to set goals and pursue what you want to achieve. You can do anything now.

And while your at it, give yourself some credit for what you did and also apologize to yourself. Let yourself heal from what you went through and the type of people that tried to hurt you. Take time to heal.

You and anyone else doesn't deserve to be treated like that. We all deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, love, and care. 

So remember, if there's someone in your life that isn't showing any of these signs or is hurting you in some way, get that person out of your life and keep them out of your life. You will blossom so much more without the negativity holding you back.

With that here is the quote-

"I owe myself a little apology for being in spaces where I KNEW I wasn't respected, wanted, appreciated, loved, or valued, but instead, I stayed for the sake of our history.

I owe myself an apology for putting people who NEVER appreciated me before myself."
