Great Advice

So I talked to my friend Alex earlier.....(we've been friends for many years and he's really been there for me through all the bad). I just updated him about my ex draqma and things i've been thinking about lately......we had one of our lovely deep convos and yeah great times. I vented about how i'm trying to be more comfortable alone with myself, my mind, thoughts etc... and i'm just trying to find my happiness......i have a great life with amazing people in it and most have no idea that i hate to be alone and tend to fall apart when i just am alone with my thoughts...they're always neg and about my past. I've realized that I still blame myself for my past and am just very very hard on myself, i'm my own worst enemy really.....My friend Alex gave me great advice today....he told me "forgive yourself already for your past" I told him I was trying and working on it. Alex told me "no that's not good enough, do it or else you'll never be happy." And I've given our conversation a lot of thought and he's totally right....so that's my new goal is to forgive myself.
