I thought I’d relay something I’ve been told both by friends and my psychologist. It helps me feel better whenever I hear it, and I figured some people might need a reminder.

You shouldn’t be punished for things you’ve done in your memories of other lives. No matter what you remember doing, if you’ve done nothing wrong here and are trying to be better, that makes you a better person than you were before. If what you did before was terrible and you acknowledge that, you’ve become a better person already and you’re on the way to being even better.

This life, to me, is like a second chance, almost. People kept telling me that and it took a while to sink in properly. This is a place to process what happened and to heal from the damage that’s been done and move forward with being a better person.

Even if you slip up, remember that recovery isn’t linear and everyone makes mistakes. If you just keep pushing to become better, and you want to become better, you’ll get there. I believe in you.
