I think what is important is asking one's self how much they buy into the opinions and judgements of others. How much do you want to "suffer" because of something you did not do "perfect" in the past? Nothing is perfect, least of all human beings.

The Skeezyks, do you really believe you are the "least" amoung others? Perhaps just settle into whatever you are, can be, and take time to just "be". None of us can change anything in our past, we just did whatever we "knew" how to do at the time, it's that way for every single person. It doesn't matter what you said last week that you may now wish you had not. What matters is that at the time you had thoughts about something, after you expressed those thoughts you learned something. Every single human being learns by doing and experiencing. No one has a crystal ball either and we all learn differently based on our life experiences.

I think it is important to do our best to be forgiving of "self" and just allow ourselves to "be".
