sometimes i still beat myself up for not understanding sooner—for not seeing the obvious

sometimes i'm still hard on myself for the mistakes that i made—how i hurt those i love

sometimes i'm a bit too self-critical when catching myself slipping—for not being "complete" now

but i remember that these feelings are part of the journey. they're part of growing.

and as important as it is to recognize your mistakes, it's equally important, or more so, to hold grace for yourself as well.
