How much of what happens to you in this life is your fault?

How much of it is someone else's? How much of it is no one's?

Now most of it is my responsibility.

In my childhood and teen years, most wasn't.

@Miram Are you comfortable saying more about why you feel this way?

@SW-User

It doesn't seem to be a feeling. If I counted on feelings, eventually I ll be thinking the past is my doing.

Only the present, I have enough tools to control the flow of events. Things don't happen to me. I take parts in them and my attitude defines the course greatly.

There are still some things that I have no control over. I have made peace with that.
