How to forgive myself by Pam Burnham

"Turns out I am a pretty great person after all... "

How I did it: Time... and the help of good friends. I allowed myself to GRIEVE over the things I had lost and the mistakes I had made, and I cut out people in my life that were really REALLY just reinforcing my self-hate. When I replaced the people who were purposely TRYING to keep me down, and realized that the people who were helping me up were right and that I hadn't done ANYTHING that couldn't be forgiven, I just forgave myself and took the time to LEARN from the mistakes instead of beat myself up over them.
