There are lessons you could only understand after living through them. So release the guilt, soften your heart, and forgive the version of you who was still learning. You did the best you could with what you knew then—and now, you know better.
Forgive yourself for the years you didn’t have the wisdom you have now. Growth doesn’t come all at once; sometimes it arrives slowly, gently, and right on time.
Now That’ll Steep.
