how do we forgive ourselves for all the things we did not become?

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

rushed that out at a red light while listening to gangster rap🥸

by accepting we don’t know the consequences of becoming those things

we are imagining an idealized finished product and not what it took to get there

Can't blame your past self for acting on the information they had at the time. Today-You has more knowledge and wisdom relative to Past-You, and is thus a different person.
You can see your past self the way you would an old acquaintance. You could feel compassion or pity towards their situation, but not shame.

You start from wherever you are and do the best you can going forward. 

Why're we fast to regret the good things that could have happened rather than be grateful for the bad things that didn't.
