Yesterday, reality hit me in the face.

I was confronted by someone I respect much, Gregg, about some comments I had made. To me, they were made in jest. To him, they were hurtful. These comments were not made face to face, but over an intercom system.

This brings a few things to mind:

I was completely unaware  of how the manner in which I was communicating was being received.

I can be a very insensitive jerk sometimes.

If it wasn’t for the other person confronting me, I’d have never known and would more than likely continue being snarky and insensitive.

So first off - Let me apologize publicly for being a jerk (I did seek forgiveness from Gregg personally). Gregg, sorry bro - didn’t mean to rub salt in the wounds. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Secondly, let me send out a blanket apology to anyone else that I may have offended along the way. More than likely, I am completely oblivious to the fact that I have offended. Please talk to me if I have, that i might be made aware of my mistake and begin to seek forgiveness from you.

Finally, I have a new mission now - to be more aware of my impact on others, and to be more positive so as to not poison those relationships that I cherish.
