For years, going on decades, I have been objectified. And I have hated every minuet of it. Shocking, I know. I couldn’t understand how one human being could do that to another. I just couldn’t make sense of it. But recently I have caught myself doing almost the exact same thing. I have become what I hate. Honestly, I don’t know how I got there either. I will have to look deeper into that. Retrace my steps. Find an answer to how or why I let it happen. But that’s not the point I am trying to make here. To this one person that I have been objectifying, and for what it’s worth now, I want to apologize. If you get to read this, I think you know who you are. I would tell them personally but I think that at this point trying to confront this one on one may be a little inappropriate. Maybe it has taken me too long to realize it and the damage I have done is too far-gone. Maybe this apology will never find its recipient and I will fade into the past as the oppressive asshole. But if I have learned nothing else it is to learn from my past mistakes and I will try to never let it happen again. But this person didn’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it, and nobody else should have to go through it.
