Why Haven't You Forgiven Your Younger Self?
We all carry a younger version of ourselves around. The one who trusted the wrong people, spent money trying to look successful, moved too fast to notice what mattered. And most of us think about that person with a wince.This episode is about why we stay at war with who we used to be, and what quietly loosens when we finally stop. It's built around a passage by the writer Maria Popova, on what she calls the purest measure of maturity:
"One measure of maturity — perhaps the purest measure — may be the courage to put our arms around those former selves and pull them close, to take tender responsibility for their missteps and confusions, refusing denial, refusing despair. Without compassion for who we used to be, we can never fully own who we are or open to who we can become."
If you've ever looked back at an old decision and felt that flush of embarrassment, this one's for you. Watch till the end. And go easy on them. They were doing their best with what they had.
