Will You Accept The Change In Me?

I’ve made mistakes in my past. I’ve admittedly told a few lies. I’ve even broken my fair share of hearts. So if you wake up today and decide that you no longer want to be in my presence, then I can’t be mad … in fact, I probably deserve that and countless other things.
For example…
I deserve an invoice for the damage done to the hearts of some of the women in my past.
I deserve to be viewed with disdain by the friends and family of those same forsaken women.
I probably even deserve every nasty word that will ever be uttered in blogs and chat rooms about the mistakes of my past. I deserve it all.
But here’s what I also deserve.
I deserve an opportunity to learn from my mistakes.
I deserve the ability to live boldly as a new man reborn by time, faith, experience, and a forgiving God.
But most of all, I HOPE I deserve a chance to show you that every second, minute and hour spent getting to know me is well worth it.
Now I guess I could be like every other man trying to convince you of his perfection. But since I’ve already admitted my flaws, my only resort is to take the more honest road less traveled … so here goes.
When I look at me, I see an evolution into manhood, which has been full of wins, losses, exuberant highs and excruciating lows. But when you look at me, I hope you see a man that’s trying—trying my hardest to not only be a good man for me, but to perhaps be a good man for you one day.
That is who I am … and all that I am.

Ooh, I like.
I do believe a person can change, and I’m supportive of it.
I probably wouldn’t take a person back, though. I would be too skeptical; flashbacks would occur; and trust would be an issue.
I really like this. It’s awesome.
You certainly have a way with words.
And my vote was, yes, a person can change but I need a lot of convincing before I believe it. Anything less, in my opinion, is being naive and gullible.
Yes, everyone can change; but not everyone chooses to change…so one must convince me before I believe.
I’ve been a faithful reader here for about 5 months or so, but this is the first time I’ve commented.
I read this and it reminds me of my ex. He too has broken many hearts (including mine) and he’s also now making an appeal to another young lady. This reminds me of him mainly because now he’s changing and trying to be something better that what he is.
Only thing is…I have to sit back and watch him make the changes I asked him to make for someone else.
Yes, I believe that people can change. Just make sure that they are walking the walk and not just providing lip service, though. Anyone can TALK about changing, but some have a hard time actually committing to it.
