At all times, I have done the best I was able to do. If my only way to cope with a difficult situation was to deny it, I can look back with compassion to that person who saw no better option at the time. I can forgive myself and count my blessings for having come so far since then. “Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.” Katherine Mansfield
