Forgiveness has been a key component of the counselling i've been doing.
I hold on to a lot of guilt. I feel guilty or bad about so many things. Most of them i don't even need to. Like i said yesterday, i take in negative much more easily than positive and i hold it until i'm completely overwhelmed. Then i fall apart. Mess up.
What do i need to forgive myself for?
I need to forgive myself for not being perfect. I need to accept my limitations. I am human and flawed and i have made plenty of mistakes.
Mistakes can be a starting place. See it, own it, forgive it, fix the problem, move on.
That is my homework.

ah … forgiveness….mercy…don’t we forgive other’s more then ourselves? I sure do!
Once I accepted the fact..yes I made stupid mistakes and taught myself to “not” repeat them…I was a happy person. Yeah, sometimes I fall back into my old life..but for the most part have stayed true to myself.
You are growing up to be a wise women! Keep up the good work.
