Moving on is the only thing you can do, and that is easier said than done, but only you can forgive that person who you were then We our an ever changing entity, the human body that is, not only does our body change through cellular processes, but our minds, brains, and the essence of who we are changes as well. From infant to toddler, toddler to child, teen to young adult, adult to senior we are always changing. Through learning and experience and even things out of our control we are constantly changing. During our teen years some become the victims of hormones that drive us mad with desire, some never develop out of this phase. Some people develop greatly around their thirtieth year where it is said that their truer “person” has finished developing, but some people change later in life. One of the main qualities that is either developed or stunted is that of will power and self control, also what may be called having good character, knowing right from wrong and doing right and abstaining from wrong.
You have found yourself guilty in the court of your mind and you feel that you must suffer for your “sin,” rather than accepting that you have already sufferred through being ignorant of your “sin.” To me this is what Jesus Preached yet Christianity has missed the ball. You ruminate your guilt of past wrong doings, that trivial at that, they were growing pains and many go through the same thing. Forgive yourself and you shall be forgiven and that feeling of hell will release its grips on you.
People suffer either by not accepting who they are or not accepting who they were. In one case you can’t change and must accept it and in the other you must accept who you were. You can’t change who you are to others if they only see who you were, then who cares . If you love having fun and being passionate then that is apart of who you are and does not mean you have to be guilty or change that characteristic only that you must learn self control as you did so forgive yourself and accept the present you because in 10 years you may be feeling guilty for wasting this time for feeling guilty and when you are dead or dying you will be suffering with thoughts of guilt still and will be sentencing yourself to hell if there is an afterlife or not as you want to be at peace as you leave this life.
