It's hard, but you have to be ready to forgive and forget. What's happened in the past has made yourself who you are today and that's all that matters, we're all human and we all make mistakes

A big part of forgiveness is acceptance. Accept what you have done and use it as a way to improve your life in the future. Through this process, those things that seemed negative, can turn into a positive.

Past mistakes happened in the past and can unfortunately not be changed or altered. While it is difficult to forget about, you can see it as an opportunity for growth by learning from it and moving forward. Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes and that's how we learn and improve :)

Everyone makes mistakes and making mistakes is okay. Instead of blaming yourself for the mistakes you've made try to learn from those mistakes. Making mistakes is a way of learning to get to know yourself and your surroundings.

By realizing that you're human and humans make mistakes. It's normal. It's natural. It's healthy. Instead of mourning over what you've done, try not to repeat the same mistakes again

Breathe in, take a moment, reflect, and let it pass. Dwelling in the past will only ruin your tomorrow. Everyone is free to go on without guilt.

Maybe ponder over what I did from the start and make a mental note of what led to it. Then realise the situation I would have been in. I must have been in such a terrible situation where I would have committed that mistake and the fact that I'm sorry itself copes to it. It might not be easy to forgive myself but there's no magic. ☺

Remember that you're just a human. We make mistakes, and that's OK. That's normal, what's important is that we take those mistakes and turn them into good things, things to look at in the future and think, wow, I overcame that. You're only human, don't be so hard on yourself.
