"... there is a thing called growth - and another thing called grace. You keep beating yourself up for past sins and misdemeanors but you fail to see that you are growing, learning and changing for the better. Be happy you aren't where you once were as a person, relish in who you are NOW as a person. We all have our flubs and hiccups along the way but to use those as ''proof" that we aren't 'nice' or 'good' only proves one thing - we need to do some serious work in forgiving our past selves and moving on to better things."
