life is way too short to spend it at war with yourself. beating yourself up over and over about every little thing will not magically make everything better. you must stop with the negative self-talk. it is getting you nowhere. what happened, happened, and you can’t erase that. no amount of self-hatred can. so today, start over. choose to move forward with your life. you are not a bad person, or a failure, or a disappointment. you cannot go back in time and change things. what you can do, is change the future. you can get through this. your pain won’t last forever. give yourself time to heal. take life day by day. every day you survive is a step forward. be patient with yourself. growth is painful. be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come. push through. keep fighting. this too shall pass.
