Dear person I Hurt, It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken now. I take the blame for that. I was dead wrong for what I did to you. I do not want to make any excuses for my terrible behavior, but I am a totally different person now. The person you knew was deep in the throws of heroin addiction, and I would have stabbed my own mother in the back to get what I needed; in fact I basically did. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to reach out to you for quite some time now. I don’t know if you heard, but my mom and both my grandparents passed away two years ago, and I find myself wanting to make amends to those I hurt that were my true friends, and pray that they forgive me, and would hopefully like to work on having a loving and trusting relationship with me again. You are the first person I wanted to reach out to, because we were best friends (like sisters) for the first 25 years of our lives. We have been through so much together. I miss you dearly. I stole from you, I lied to you, I betrayed you, and I never gave you the respect to tell you the truth about sleeping with your boyfriend when you asked me. Instead I looked right into your eyes and lied, even knowing deep down you already knew better. I’ve never told anyone this before, but I am afraid I am just a bad person deep down, but I am going to therapy and doing everything I can to fix myself. I pray you will be open to communication between us. I love and miss you. your loving friend
