Why do I want to forgive myself?

Because the outcome is that I am leaving with more than I entered into it with.

I forgive myself because I chose to be an optimist and with the good, comes the bad.

I forgive myself because counting all of my mistakes will only bring me down. I choose to move forward with love and forgiveness.

I forgive myself because the past can either be baggage or wisdom, I choose if I learn or stay stuck.

I forgive myself because I am done being disappointed and embarrassed about choosing to be with someone who thought that money could buy and hold leverage over my heart.

I forgive myself because the past only has as much power as I give it. If I believe in this moment, I choose to let go of the past
