Ugh. It was an accident. You didn’t mean to do the thing. And now, the milk is spilled or the glass is half empty or broken. Situation: not great.

Or maybe it wasn’t an accident. Maybe you said or did a thing on purpose, but now you wish you could take it back. You wronged someone, you messed up, and you need to come correct.

Now it’s time to swallow your pride and say those words that kinda hurt on the way out.
