“Your guilt is making you feel like you’re a bad person, right? That you might not be capable or worthy of change? But forgiveness turns your guilt into remorse. Remorse is more like, If I knew then what I know now, I’d have done better. I would have made a different choice.

I myself carry a great deal of remorse, but I don’t carry any guilt.”
