When we cannot heal the wounds we create - we can take responsibility for them. We can learn to forgive ourselves even if others can’t forgive us. Because at the end of the day the past cannot be altered, but the future doesn’t have to be history repeated. So to everyone who’s beating themselves up for all their mistakes. Know that while you could have known better - you did it. The action is done, the consequences are yours but the mistakes are not you. You too are allowed to slip behind and below yourself. Don’t hold yourself accountable to standards that cannot be met. And while it may not be an excuse and the wounds may stay, the best way to apologise is to accept your faults and change your behaviour. Intention doesn’t change the action but it does change how we are able to forgive ourselves in knowing “this is not me.” Be kind. We all need unconditional love no matter how badly we mess up.
