Once we become adults, we no longer need mom or the Church to lay on the guilt. We are ingrained with our own little recordings that play in our heads...
That record doesn't really need to be playing though. When you shut it off, its easier to see what is real and what has been imbedded in us. And its easier to deal with.
Make sure you know where those feelings are coming from my friend.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
