Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”
If I'm honest, I completely forgot and remembered it 27 times, relived some traumatic childhood memories, picked up a new hobby, ate a pint of ice cream, dissociated for 36 hours on the couch while rotating it in my mind, reinvented my identity, and got this whole other project done that I've been avoiding for two years
