Imperfection is simply not a good enough excuse to have someone keep hurting you just because they feel like it.

About This Quote

The words, “I’m sorry, I’m a mess” are a common phrase used by people who have been wronged. While the speaker may be truly sorry for their actions, they are not giving a perfect excuse. Even if the person is in the process of taking care of themselves and coming to terms with what they have been doing, they should still be held accountable for their actions. This quote makes it clear that there is no excuse for hurting someone unless you can prove it to be your fault.
