“Death will paint everything a different shade of remorse.
You’ll feel guilty that you’re still breathing.
But you can’t stop.
You’ll feel guilty for wanting to laugh again.
And it will be awful the first time that you do.
You’ll feel guilty for just about everything at first.
And someday, at some point, you’ll start to feel guilty . . .
for forgetting to feel guilty.
But of all Heaven’s lessons, guilt isn’t one of them. You don’t need to hold on to it. It doesn’t need to be a practice and it shouldn’t be your life.
Heaven would never approve of your guilt.
Because Heaven has no regrets.”
