Q: Dear Todd, it’s tough knowing that, (at the moment), I am the person bringing the people I love down. I know what living with “toxic negativity” is, but I am trying to forgive who I was and be a better me. I hope others can forgive me, (again), too. 

TODD ANSWERS: Awareness and good intentions are the first and the most important step of that healing and forgiving journey. Most people won’t even take the first step. I commend you, wish you all the best, and hope you can forgive yourself as well.
