I appreciate that you're trying. You've made some changes; you smile more, and you actually seem genuine when you're doing it. If I hadn't known you before, you would be someone I'd look up to, you'd be someone I'd like to be friends with. But the thing is, I did know the person you were before. And to be honest, I don't think you've changed. I had stuck by your side for years. I know you. You don't do nice. You don't know how to be nice. You just know how to act it. And it's not fair that I seem like the bitter one. You can't be an awful person during all that time, and then suddenly announce you've changed and expect everything to go back to the way it was. It doesn't work that way. You work to get things back to how they once were. And now, if I'm being completely and whole heartedly honest, I don't even want things to get better. You were a bad person. As long as I'm concerned you still are a bad person. And my opinion of you will stay that way until you start actually changing. Words are words. Actions are the ones that really count at the end of the day. And again, I appreciate that you're trying. Try a little harder.
