We're up to Day 3...
Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Hmm...that's tough. I am pretty headstrong about refusing to live a life of regret.
We are human and we all make mistakes. Every decision in my lifetime, good or bad, has led me to this exact life...this exact moment. So if I hang on to those bad choices...times when, looking back I can see, I probably should've acted otherwise, I'm not really sold...because had I done that, I wouldn't be where I am right this very second. And I love where I am right this very second.
I cannot know for certain if the choices I have made have brought me to a place that is better or worse than where I would be otherwise, but I don't care. I CAN'T care. Because I am who I am and I am where I am...and that's just what it is. (Very "Butterfly Effect"...I know.)
I thought long and hard about this before answering and that's really the best answer I can give. :)

Forgiving yourself is HARD. My (in my mind) worst mistakes tend to be hurting someone's feelings and I do deeply regret it when it happens (and ever after). I need to learn to think first and THEN open my mouth.
I like this post. Very thought-provoking. I do agree with your attitude of owning your choices. You're right- that's how we get here.
