Write a formal apology to the body parts you accidentally injure most often or with the greatest intensity. Identify your personal cause of clumsiness, i.e. impatience, shortsightedness, and giddy thrills. This is meant to be lighthearted; please avoid sinister forms of self-harm unless the result is somehow hilarious.

I would like to take this opportunity

Dear Head,

Before I begin, I would first like to thank you for arriving attached to my neck. I am eternally grateful for your permanence because without it, I would have certainly (accidentally) abandoned you in some random public toilet or equally horrible place.

Head, we have traveled together now for quite some time, and I feel I haven't given you enough credit for all that you do. You have sustained injury upon injury due to Left Feet (they'll be getting a different kind of letter) and their clumsy shortcomings. I will extend apologies for them since they can't seem to get their act together.

On a more personal level, however, I would like you to know that I deeply regret the decision on multiple occasions to bang you into the wall. Quite frankly, I have no explanation . I only hope you will forgive me.

I'm sure you have kept the wild horse incident in your memory banks, and please know that so have I. I promise on my own life that we will never again (ever, ever) end a ride as part of a metal shed.

I also want you to know that I'm working diligently not to blame you for my every downfall and bad characteristic. I understand that while you are largely at fault and most likely the root of every emotional upset I've experienced, you always play some role in their solution. This is still a work in progress, as I'm sure you can understand.

In conclusion, my friend, I mean to say that I cherish your service and loyalty, and it would mean more than I can possibly say if you would accept my deepest regrets for all of the abuse that I have subjected you to thus far (future too).

With honest sincerity,

Me
