It was likely a mistake if you are feeling bad and want to be forgiven. Mistakes happen, it is a simple fact of life that cannot be changed. But we can learn from them. Ask yourself and come to terms with why this happened. Once you are able to understand the reason this all took place and you were able to hurt this person you can make movement towards forgiveness. Remember forgiving is hard, often even harder when we have to forgive ourselves. We tend to be our own hardest critics. But if you keep striving toward the goal of forgiveness it can be done.

If you've already sought the forgiveness of the one you hurt, then you may need to confront yourself. The other person may not forgive you but ensure that you have tried. It may sound like a platitude, but you have to accept the fact that you are a human who makes mistakes. That can at times feel like an excuse, but it is a fact. You cannot change anything that happened, You messed up. You may feel as if your mistake is too big, any other error might be understandable, but not 'this'. Perhaps. But 'this', whatever it is, is what you have to deal with. Forgiving yourself shouldn't be about feeling like you are a good person, though you may get to that point. It should be about allowing you to pick yourself up and keep going. Let the feelings of guilt drive you to become a better person. Don't dwell on it and let it destroy you, but keep it in memory and let it actively drive you to making better decisions. All, you can control is what you will do. If you do so with the understanding that it is in human nature to make even the biggest mistakes, then you just might arrive at a better point in your life.
