“No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Forgive yourself.
Forgive yourself for what happened.
For the mistakes you made. For your poor choices.
For not showing up the way
you needed to. For being the person
you wanted to be. You're human.
You did the best you could in the moment
given what you knew and what you had,
and that's all you can ask for yourself.
You're still learning. You're still finding
your way. That takes time.
And you're allowed to give yourself that time.
You're allowed to show up in the world imperfectly.
You're allowed to fail at
things you tried hard for. You're allowed
to realize you made the wrong decision.
You're allowed to be someone who's still
figuring out their path and their purpose.
You're allowed to forgive yourself.

You can't go back and change the decisions you've made, but you can choose
what you do today. You can keep choosing,
again and again. You can start over.
And that's where your power is--in today.

So no more beating yourself up. No more
going over and over it again in your head
and torturing yourself with the past.
What happened is over, and all the shame and
self-hatred in the world won't undo that.
Today, you're starting over.
Today, you're moving forward
with the new knowledge and experiences you have.

Today, you can be the person you want to be and live the life you want to live.
You're not a bad person.
You're not a disappointment or a failure.”
