Remembering it’s not your fault

I blame myself for everything I can, even when it doesn’t make sense. Some small (younger) part of me believes that if I can take responsibility for all the bad things, then maybe I’ll have control over them too. This, of course, is never true. I rarely do remember, but sometimes I just need to remind myself that it’s not my fault, no matter how painful that truth is. So in case you haven’t heard it in a while:

It’s not your fault.
