Stop trying to erase the mistakes of the past. Those mistakes are only painful and worthless until we decide that we want to learn from them. I understand the pain can be immense, and we just want to do anything we can to make it go away, but that's not how life works.
As individuals, and a species, we're special because we've been able to learn from our mistakes, and even pass the wisdom on to future generations; it's one of the reasons we make so much progress.
We're so afraid of making mistakes, we can sometimes stay frozen and opt to do nothing, but what good is that? We win some, and we learn some. When we try to suppress our past, we're causing damage, mentally, physically. Things build up, and that may inspire us to make some irresponsible decisions.
Let it out, and let it go. I know that's easier said than done, but at the very least, committing to try puts us in a better position to heal and learn from out past.
