Since I've gotten Midnight, I haven't driven Blush. I feel awful about it because I swore up and down Blush would be the car I drive to work but that hasn't happened :-/.
On my way home from the hairdresser and nail shop last week Tuesday, I noticed a little note behind the windshield wipers of Blush. Right away I started feeling myself. There was no doubt in my mind that someone from my block was admiring me from afar and couldn't help professing their love for me in a romantic message. With the biggest smile on my face I channeled my inner Aaliyah and snatched up my four page letter. You couldn't imagine my surprise when I opened it up and realized it was an apology letter from the kid who knocked off my driver side mirror in September! He said he was sorry for the trouble he caused me, left me his name/phone number and offered to pay for the damage.
Despite the fact it happened 2 months ago, even though what he did to me was shady, I was impressed with the courage and sense of responsibility this young guy mustered up. He didn't have to apologize to me or leave his contact information, I mean there is no way I would have known it was him. I don't know if it was his guilty conscious or maybe someone from my block said something to him but it sort of revived my faith in people a little. It made me think maybe people still do hear that still small voice helping them realize when they've done something wrong.
Is there anyone you need to say sorry to?
