feelings of guilt, shame, the belief that you are "evil" or "irredeemable", the idea that you can NEVER make a mistake
these are all tools of white christofascist hegemony. they are all designed to prevent you and everyone around you from growing as people.
do not put your energy into feeling bad because you messed up. put your energy into learning from your mistakes so you can do better next time.
offer the same grace to others as well. we will all be stronger if we are forgiving of mistakes, but willing to hold ourselves and each other accountable and work towards genuine self-improvement.
