2025/01/22 A mistake is only a mistake if we make it a second time. There. Try to focus on that statement as you put behind you an aspect of your past that has been allowed a bit too much freedom and influence in the present and is thus contributing to shaping your future!

Accept its time to move on from what youve chastised yourself over for too long.
