I let despair, jelousy and viciousness darken my heart. I pushed away the people that mean the most to me. I let my anger take over my consciousness and I became somebody I don't recognize anymore. 

The past holds our worst fears. Today, I decided to let go of those fears, to leave them behind, to become the happy, cheerful and loving person I once was. Everyone has flaws, but I let mine overshadow my strenghts.

I need my redemption. It is not going to happen over night, but I strongly believe that we all deserve a second chance. And a third and a fourth and tenth.

Today, I start believeing in the good that has been hiding for too long inside of me.

And I will embrace it.
