Forgive yourself for what happened.
For the mistakes you made.
For not showing up the way up the way you needed to.
For not being the person you wanted to be. Youâre human.
You did the best you could in the moment given what you knew and what you had, and thatâs all you can ask of yourself.
Youâre still learning.
Youâre still finding your way.
And that takes time.
Youâre allowed to give yourself that time.
And youâre allowed to show up in the world imperfectly.
Youâre allowed to fail at things you tried hard for. Youâre allowed to realize you made the wrong decision.
Youâre allowed to be someone whoâs still figuring out their path and their purpose.
And youâre allowed to forgive yourself.
You canât go back and change the decisions youâve made, but you can choose what you do today.
You can keep choosing, again and again. You can start over.
And thatâs where your power is. In today. So no more beating yourself up.
No more going over and over it again in your head and torturing yourself with the past. What happened, happened, and all the shame and self-hatred in the world wonât undo that.
Today, youâre starting over. Today, youâre moving forward with the new knowledge and experiences you have.
Today, you can be the person you want to be and live the life you want to live. Youâre not a bad person. Youâre not a disappointment or a failure. Youâre just human. Youâre still learning and growing and finding your way. And itâs okay.
Youâll be okay. đĽ˛
