Letter of Regret

Dear Conscience,

It’s been so long since our last rendez-vous. I’ve missed you. You’ve made many attempts to reach me, I know, but I have been so absorbed in myself that I failed to take much notice. You should know, however, that I think about you constantly, and more recently, I have begun to wonder if you still remember that I am here. Too much time has passed since we last connected, and I often catch myself believing that you’ve given up. I wouldn’t blame you for a moment if you have. My ignorance and blatant disregard of your existence was completely unwarranted. You’ve been nothing but helpful, and there are many situations in which I would have found myself completely lost without you.

You always knew the right things to say. You tried so hard to direct me on the right path. Pride---or quite possibly stupidity even---prevented me from paying any heed to your wisdom. Though I can offer no explanation as to the reason behind my neglect, I do wish to extend my sincerest apologies, and I hope that we might somehow begin anew. As the realization of my current standing in the world heightens, I start to understand how much I have needed (and still need) you by my side.

If you haven’t already gone, I truly desire a reconciliation of sorts. I have shelved my selfish inconsideration, and am ready to correct the mistakes I’ve made. The only problem is, I can’t do that without your help. In the wake of your absence, I was left in complete and utter devastation and misdirection. I require your assistance in repairing the damage that has been done. Though I know I don’t deserve your aide, I desperately need it...I can’t do it alone. Please, help me turn it all around!

Sincerely,

Me
