To hold yourself eternally accountable to your past is to bind yourself eternally to a restricted future - you cannot delve the depths of life while hang-ups hold you back. Let go and bloom into a person whose freedom from guilt allows them to embrace the moment in a full body hug.
Guilt serves a purpose - to help make you a better person. Once that lesson is learned, guilt is no longer necessary. Let it go.
