I would like to apologize to my ex best friend for being a bad friend and not listening to her.
Problem is, apologizing in person is not an option for us and I’m much worse at formulating/expressing myself via texting. I always end up writing an essay as if I was the protagonist in a movie with a dramatic/emotional monologue.
I just want to let her know how I understand everything now and how deeply sorry I am for making things worse and worse. I don’t want it to sound like I have any excuses or if I seek her forgiveness in an attempt to rekindle our friendship. I don’t want that. She just deserves a proper and sincere apology, not the one I just threw in at the end of our quarrel trying to save what I could. I had months to think through everything which led to our quarrel and I want to give a meaningful apology as perhaps this is the last time I speak to her and her friendship meant everything to me.

You need to tell her exactly what you just said there! You aren’t as bad at putting feelings into text as you think. Tell her you are deeply sorry, you don’t expect forgiveness but you want to sincerely apologize. Mention how much her friendship meant to you, and wish her the best. I obviously don’t know the situation here but you sound like good friend. We all make mistakes; owning up to our actions and apologizing can go a long way and I like to hope any way you reach out will be appreciated by her. Good luck ❤️
