>A mea culpa about the messages, and how you've changed personally in the meantime would have been a change.

The value of mea culpas is under-appreciated. We all make mistakes, and you can't change that in life. But you can change course after recognizing a mistake has been made.

I personally find that the worst people I have interacted with in life are also those who cannot assert a mea culpa.
