Your are actually right, we must accept ourselves for who we are and what we have been through, plus what we have evolved from the past experiences that we went through. Some were good, some horrible, and the only thing that's important is that we do have to learn from where we have been. It does not matter the circumstances or why, the main thing is to try your darn best to grow from all of it. Face it we are not perfect, only one has been perfect so the rest of us just try the very best that we can, right, or wrong. Do all that you can to make a difference in the short life that God has given us here on earth...
Thank you so much
