True forgiveness and acceptance is really hard. Our shame spirals, ruminating repetitive negative and blaming thoughts, and Samskars are hard to let go of They're not Capital T "True" in the sense that those horrible things I say to myself are not objectively real; they're just judgments I've repeated so many times that I believe them. But they're not true, and (more importantly), they are unhelpful A loving friend, mentor, therapist, or parent would never judge me as harshly as I repeatedly judge myself. Jesus would never judge me that harshly And yet I have these beliefs repeating in my head so often that they are real to me. It feels real to me that I'm a sinner, that I regret hurting my business partner, my ex girlfriend, and my sister Anyway, please forgive yourself. I work on it often. "Shame is the raid boss of emotions" is a helpful video, too
