Still, I'm not sleeping very well, waking up too often, unsettled in the morning.
What came to me last night was that I've been often very harsh, not understanding, not indulging; although, I have to say, there have been many towards me that way, also. We all empathize so little.
Usually, this lack of understanding is focused on those who care the most and stick out their necks the most: parents, teachers, pastors.

In life there arise complicated matters and there are always some regrets.
I have taken it to the Lord, but I feel I need to get back to some people. But often it can be wiser to let sleeping matters lie. Wisdom needed and right opportunities. I do want to apologize for my part in some things, at very least for not understanding the difficulties of others.
