I'm a guy

Absolutely we need to come to terms with our past - I wouldn't be here if I hadn't.

But we can't *change* the past...so feeling guilt and remorse over it is fairly self defeating to my mind...

I'd rather do something than feel guilty.

We do what we can to make things right, or if we can't, we try our best to come to terms with it...then we move on....to me, redemption lies in today and tomorrow

It's not easy...I know.

If I'm wise I got this way by making many many mistakes for many years LOL
