The Scarlet Letter

By Ryan, April 5, 2007

How do you heal a broken relationship? There are a number of valid ways. In most cases, the best way to fix a problem is to eliminate what caused it. And what I figured out in Life Groups last night was that many friendships are harmed when someone is too stubborn to apologize. Love does not mean never having to say you’re sorry. Hollywood was wrong again. What a shock.

I decided to bring on one of the biggest undertakings of my life last night. I made a list of all my friends that I was at odds with.* Then I went down the list and wrote letters to most of the people on it. I chose to write instead of speak for three reasons.

  1. Writing allows you to say everything uninterrupted
  2. The things that need to be said most are hard to say face-to-face
  3. I have insanely awesome handwriting that I love showing off
So far, I feel really good about it. It could have been my good breakfast and great overall start to the day that made today feel so good, but I’d rather believe that it was because I put my plan into action. Either my friendships will be repaired, or they will identify themselves as unnecessary.

My advice to you the reader: do NOT watch Love Story. Ever.
