Angry, be angry.

Sad, be sad.

Stuck, be stuck.

I'm here with you.

And living amends have been around for a long time.

Living amends is this idea that sometimes the person's not here to make an apology to.

So, for example, maybe my loved one died and our last words were an argument.

Maybe I didn't tell them I love them that day.

So, I always say, if you still have something to say in your heart, if you say it purely in your heart, they'll hear it in theirs.

And a living amends is you literally saying,

write down and I have it in here.

People can find it online.

I apologize for not saying I love you at the end.

My living amends to you is for the rest of my life.

When I make a mistake, I'm going to apologize quickly in your honor.

And it's going to be my living, breathing apology.

we died and my last words were an argument, oh my gosh, my living amends is going to be for the rest of my life.

I will never leave an argument like that again with anyone.

And every time I'm in an argument, I will do my best to at least end it with kindness and love, even if we disagree.

And that's my living, breathing apology to you.
