I am the queen of feeling guilt for no actual sin. I can and will feel guilty about anything and everything. If I said something that might have offended someone, I will feel guilty. I can do something completely normal, something that is in no way bad, and feel guilty about it because I never thought I would do it.

I think in these cases, even like the one that I experienced a few days ago, sometimes you have to recognize that doing something made you feel bad -- even if it wasn't necessarily a bad thing -- and that you don't want to do it again. Some things that are really popular amongst your friends, or even just your peers, are not always the best choice for you. You will find that all of your friends' morals are just a little bit different than yours. Everything that you have leveled as good/okay/bad, they have leveled differently. That doesn't mean that they are wrong for doing it -- if they aren't hurting themselves or anyone else, then don't worry about it -- but sometimes what's right for other people and what fits the personality and choices of other people does not fit you.

And that's okay. Recognize your guilt. Apologize to yourself (and others, if needed). Learn from your experiences. Move on.

catch you later,
