Embrace Change, Let Go of the Past

Don’t let your past haunt you, and don’t haunt others because of theirs. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone does things they shouldn’t, but people always have the option to repent and turn their life around. You have to give yourself a chance and offer others the same grace.

Imagine a drug dealer who gets locked up. While in prison, he decides to change his life. When he’s released, society should give him a chance and not hold his past over his head. This applies even to smaller wrongdoings. If someone turns away from their past mistakes, embrace who they are now, not who they were.

We can’t change the past, but we can repent, turn away from it, and walk toward a bright and shiny new future.
