So light and pleasant, lol.

Sometimes even when you've learned a lesson, you make the mistake again.
My son told me Mom you have to let me make my own mistakes. (Bad drug use, etc.)
I said Don't make the mistake on purpose!!
We will never be perfect, until we become ascended masters and hover up into the heavens or wherever they go.
No one is perfect, and if they think they are - they will get a reality check soon enough.
Forgiveness of my own guilt is a key for me.
It does take a lot of effort for me to not be the victim or the monster, but I am/have been both and somewhere in between lies the truth.
Did something happen - are you in the horror show?
