I agree - focus on today and go beyond the past. We tend to always look for reasons to justify why we feel bad about something. Instead, I would recommend simply focusing on the positive and moving forward from them. It sounds like you have accepted what happened to you in the past - that is great! But, you are still dwelling too much on it (excuse me if I am incorrect in this perspective but this medium does not allow for real time communication where my comment might be different). I beat depression - or at least it feels that way over 15 years ago and I could remember the beginning of my healing path: One day I wonder why I felt so jealous and weak. For what? I realized that those feelings were ugly and nasty and they where in connection with actions that I could not control. I realized that the only person that I could control was me and that the best thing I could do was just focus on myself and build from there. Life has not been greater since! I must say, however, it was not an overnight success. It took me about 4 years of constantly working at myself and pushing away negativity or persons that were negative away from me and only surrounded myself with those that loved, cared and wanted me.
Thanks for this!
