G is for Guilt

^{Sometimes, I feel unnecessarily guilty. Like guilty with a capital G.}

^{Like when I offend someone, apologize, and they've absolutely moved on, but I still feel so bad, thinking about what I did or said, over and over.}

^{Or when I pledge to do (or not do) something, then find myself doing the opposite.} 

^{And I find myself overdoing}, ^{scrambling to make amends for a mistake that only I still care about.} 

^{Whoever I've hurt has forgiven me. So why can't I?}

^{I'm trying to be less self-critical. To forgive myself like I'd forgive others. If you're stuck in guilt's grip too, I hope you start being gentle to yourself too.}💕
