I don't normally think in terms of forgiving myself, but rather in terms of accepting myself for all that I am and all that I am not.
Accepting is better than forgiving, I think, because the latter suggests that you were somehow wrong and thus need to be forgiven. You weren't wrong, you did not deliberately screw things over... your actions - whatever they were - simply did not had the effect you intended them to have. That's alright. You're not perfect. Nor do you need to be.
Accept yourself - all of it, good and bad. |
