Forgiveness...

I wouldn’t make the same mistakes I made back then because I’ve learned from those mistakes.

I wouldn’t behave like I did back then because I know my values now.

I wouldn’t be scared of doing those things now because I overcame my fear by doing them then.

Back then I did the best I could, and now, I hope, I would do better.

(And maybe they were doing the best they could do back then too - so maybe they deserve a chance to do better now…)
