I forgive myself for trying to fix some minor problem on my boyfriend's laptop and screwing it up. At least I tried and I'm trying to make up for it.

Accepting that I deserve all the drama;the heartache; the ill treatment. I thought good things happen to other people but Today I choose my feelings over everything I matter....

I forgive myself for making excuses. It's an easy path to fall down. Time to get up.

you don't need to give yourself permission or forgiveness for enjoying sex. As long as you respect your self and your boundaries it is just two people having fun 😎.....

screw society's need for women to be coy and virginal, rock out with your crotch out! Wear protection of course!!!

It's true.

There's this annoyingly unfair double standard about sexual gratification and promiscuity in US American culture. It's a remnant of our overtly religious beginnings.

And even after the "sexual revolution" of the 60's, 70's & 80's mass media has still found some way to convince us that guys are supposed to sex but girls aren't... which doesn't make sense logistically.

I don't know your entire situation but unless you're a married/engaged adult with children - it's perfectly normal to want to have sex.

Even if you are married - it's pretty normal to seek a little excitement. But in this situation you have to try being more responsible... because you made a commitment.

Nothing. I deserve the guilt and feelings.

Even if that's true... you can still forgive.

In fact, I think that's the most common type of forgiveness.

I don't forgive people for doing the right thing. I forgive them because they most certainly did the wrong thing, I recognize that they feel bad about it and my hope is that they'll change.
