Hello 🙂 Mimia:

How kind and gracious you are 🙏- I can tell by the way you opened and closed your original post on this thread.

Coming to think about it, I don’t care to know how you started and ended past original posts in other websites, other platforms.

And I want my reply to you to be attuned and kind and gracious,and not be judged for how I responded ( not so well 😔) to previous members in these forums, (beginning in May 2015.. 11 years ago).

We can own our past and yet start a new page, a new chapter, with the old closed and put away.

If you “confess” to your boyfriend about things in your past, will he feel that he owes you his own confessions?

It may be better for him to not have to open his old chapters that he may be ashamed of.

It can be an act of grace on your part to let go of your shame so that the two of you continue to connect where the two of you are N.O.W.

I had to forgive myself for things I did that I was very ashamed of. I switched from Shame to Empathy- for myself.

I regret things, but I can’t go back in time and undo them (I would if I could).

Life is difficult and so very complex, so much trouble in our world- within families, and communities. Is it a wonder that we didn’t turn out 😇?

Are there angels in real life?

Please let me know what you think of this reply. I really want to talk to you further.
