Dear Friend,

I want you to know that I understand the fact that I am difficult. I have dealt with difficult friendships too, so I know how frustrating it can be but I want you to know that I am trying my best even though it doesn’t seem to work. Every time you get frustrated by how difficult I am, I get frustrated by myself too. I dislike myself as much as you dislike me, and if it is taking you all your strength to hold onto this friendship, then it is taking me all of my strength to hold onto this friendship too because it is just so much easier to let go and not deal with all the dislike I feel for myself.

But with all that being said, I am also grateful that you are still holding on and that you see hope where I see despair. I hold on because you hold on and I hope because you are hopeful.

Love,
Your always apologetic friend.
