I have an issue in my past that I feel a lot of guilt about and wish I could go back and do things differently. For the longest time I could not deal with this, or accept what happened. But as time went by, and I talked about it with people I trusted, journaled about it and thought long and hard about it, I realized that I was being too hard on myself. I made a mistake, but I am human. We all make mistakes. I think the best thing you can do is to learn from what happened, and to use that knowledge to better yourself and your life. I know that from the lesson I learned I am a better person now, and that helps me.
