Letting Go of Guilt

Your holding on to your shame will not undo what was done. There is no amount of self-flagellation that will rewind that present back to the past. All we can ever do is our best to make it right, and then our best to understand why we caused the pain so that we might never do so again. If you’re reading this and you’re trapped in self-hatred from something that you’ve done, I beg you to remember that hatred never heals-only love can do that. You are going to have to love yourself enough to seek help. You are going to have to love yourself enough to forgive yourself. You are going to have to love yourself enough to believe that you can be better, that you will be better, next time. You are also going to have to love yourself enough to walk away from anyone who weaponizes your guilt and uses it against you.
