“The truth will set you free” — This is a quote that I heard from an acquaintance a few days ago. It really resonated with me because the guilt that I feel from specific things in my past is so intense that at times it prevents me from being able to truly love myself. Long story short, I stole a lot of things from innocent people. I could have gone to jail, been fined, lost my education etc. It was so ignorant and selfish and stupid for me to do. I mean my family did need the money, but I did not even put it towards helping ends meet. I feel burdened with the guilt that I have accumulated from that. At heart I am a caring and loving individual and thats who I desire to be, I desire to be a better person but I feel as if my past prevents me from doing so. If you are one of the people that I hurt through my act, from the bottom of my heart I am truly sorry.
