An open letter to my son - Part 16

Generally speaking, people go through life riddled with guilt.  They have a perpetual internal argument between who they have been and who they think they should be.  Many people look in the mirror and absolutely don't like the person who is looking back at them.

You will make mistakes.  You should make mistakes.  
Forgive yourself.  Move on.  
Practice self-acceptance.  Become your own best friend.
