Summary

Doing bad things doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a PERSON. Now’s the time to use your mistakes as a roadmap for better decisions rather than evidence of your evilness; to move forward after cheating with a more realistic understanding of your wounds, not in mourning over the “perfect” relationship you “ruined.” (Because—get this—it wasn’t perfect if it couldn’t handle your messiness.)
