Does your past ever haunt you?
in Psychology ·
I made a couple of big mistakes back in the day. Big enough that they basically shaped my whole life as it stands now.
But I don't sit around blaming anyone else, because it wasn't anyone else. I know deep down I shouldn't have done what I did, and if I could go back in time, I'd never do it again. They hit me pretty hard emotionally right after it happened when I realized 😵, but honestly, they don't really get to me anymore. And as for feeling guilty? Not really. I know I messed up, and I can't fix it, so there's no point in beating myself up over it.
Since I can pretty easily just switch off whenever those dark thoughts start creeping in, I think I'll be just fine. ☕
