Hey, you know what? Own it. It’s you. Accept yourself. God made us all and He loves us all beyond measure.

Everyone here has done things they’re embarrassed about. They’re hypocrites for calling you out. Are their sins not equal? Their foibles no worse nor better than yours, taken on the whole? Of course they are.

It’s hard for a young man, but as you age, learn to laugh at yourself. But don’t stop doing what you do.

You’re you and that’s good enough for God as long as you’re His sheep. Just work on yourself to improve. All conservatives do, regardless of our age - there should be some aspect of ourselves that we’re working on.
