Holding onto the past and it’s failures… The scrutiny of others and the scrutiny I show to myself and the shame that comes from falling short. We all make mistakes. We try and try to make it right, and we learn and grow from the experiences that shape who we are now. But sometimes the pain from the past creeps into your everyday and you can’t help but notice how everyone else shows you the same disdain and judgements, only to mirror it right back into your heart and your mind that you are ultimately no good.
