To: I did some terrible, immoral, and awful things as a kid, roughly from 6-10.
Me: You tried things out to make sense of your world and your place in it, no matter what those things were and you learned from then and decided of your own free will, that was not the way you wanted to go in later life and you have not, so whatever your background and ethnicity, you learned how to live your life better and be positively procreative and that is all any of us could wish for as we develop into the adult we wish to be.
There is absolutely no reason for you to have to cope or reconcile yourself for anything in your past – it does not matter – that is now in your history and you can no more turn back the clock and change anything, than any of the rest of us can.
What does matter is that you put your past behind you and move forwards with your life in a positive way to make change and be a progressively better person than you were the week, months, or years before – just the same as the rest of us do.
Be proud of you, what you have achieved to make it thus far in your life and never doubt that your full life is ahead of you, you just have to work out how you are going to live it fully and with pleasure, in a world where there is no right way and no wrong way to live life, unless you get caught and punished and in that case, well s*** happens – no big deal.
Smile!!
