 I’ve done a lot of incredible stupid and poorly thought out things in my life. Sometimes I run into folks that for whatever reason it was, I have to take some ownership of some pretty embarrassing things that I did. 

While it fucking sucks, it’s better to clean up the fuck ups rather than let them languish and become gangrenous.

 I'm saving this. So true, and I'll need the reminder. It's really hard to do this right thing when in the moment. But it is the right thing and it'll be better for everyone in the long run. 
 Did you lose a bet and dared to post something ending with a word like gangrenous?  
 it's useful to know that Adam and his Isha were not punished for eating of the fruit but for not being remorseful and evading the simple truth of what they've done after being asked. 

owning up to our bullshit--is the only way out of it.
