If you feel like that’s not enough to get over your guilt, ask someone you love to give you a different perspective on the situation. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or forgiveness; it’s okay if they don’t give it right away. You will most likely have to repeat yourself and ask several times before they agree with you.
If there is one thing I’ve learned about life and relationships in general, it’s that we all make mistakes at some point or another—and sometimes those mistakes are big ones. But what matters most is how we handle them once they happen—we need only look at the current president of United States of America (although his situation is more complicated than just a mistake).
In other words: The best way for me as an individual person who has made many missteps in my own life? Try not to make any excuses for myself but instead dust myself off and continue forward into whatever adventure lies ahead next!
