Didi,

I don't know how to explain how I forgave myself. Basically, I think of my younger self as being young and naive (and selfish), but mainly naive, and unknowing. And I did some things wrong, for whatever reason, but I did some things wrong. But that isn't who I am now. Now I am wiser. Now I understand the consequences of my actions. Now I make better choices. So I like the person I am now. And I don't think about how I was before. It doesn't matter, because it is past. It can't be changed. It can be forgotten. And I move on.
