Stop. Just stop right now. Stop that 'thinking alot' thing. Thinking alot is like hitting a dead horse. Swirling thoughts of shuddawuddacudda that go absolutely nowhere. The past IS the past. Who you are now, how you're growing and changing in a positive manner is what counts.Backward thinking is guilt's slippery way of holding on. Shoo, guilt, shame, shoo.
Thank you for the much-needed (and humorous) slap upside the head!

It's expressive without being judgmental or aggressive.
Gardener likes this. Very good.
