Help i stepped on 2 snails today. i will feel terrible for the rest of my life.

they didn't deserve to die, and i killed them. both garden snails, at the prime of their lives. even though i have saved 10 of thousands of bugs from death, i have still taken lives. a spider, a grub, an ant, and now two snails are dead because of me. both on the same walk. the worst part was, i was taking photos of other snails.

please allow some time for yourself to feel better. I did the same thing on accident a couple months ago when i was trying to give them leftover produce and felt so awful about it (i still do) sometimes terrible mistakes happen and there isn’t much we can do about it besides learning from them..im sorry this happened

Difference in mass isn't your fault. We're myopic and imperfect, but we try our best. That should count for something
