Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Wow, this is a hard and potentially awkward one! Especially for a public entry.
This could be taken several ways. Is it something specific you did that was wrong? Is it something you yourself think is bad, but others probably wouldn't think it's a big deal (or even bad at all)?
I suppose the thing that I should "forgive myself for", while simultaneously still doing it is holding myself up to impossibly high standards, then beating myself up (mentally) when I can't reach them. These standards are for no one else but myself; I wouldn't expect anyone else to meet them (or be disappointed in them when they don't).
It'd be one thing if I set intentionally difficult/impossible goals or standards just so I could stretch further than I thought I could. But I'm generally not satisfied with just doing that. So basically, I set myself up for failure because no one could reach these goals without going batshit insane.
Perhaps I'll have a locked entry later that goes into some specifics, but not in a public one!
