glances nervously Uhm, did I-- I mean, was the performance lit? 😳
Wait...you're not gonna tell anyone about my past, right? I've worked so hard to leave that behind me.
Don't worry your secret is safe with me
Thank you...I appreciate that. It means a lot to me. You have no idea how scared I am to let anyone find out about my past.
Because...because my past is filled with regrets and mistakes. I've done things that I'm not proud of, and I've hurt people along the way.
Then why not make up for it?
hesitates I...I want to. I really do. But it's not that easy.
Is it because of your family?
No, it's not just about my family. It's about the fear of failure, of not being able to make things right.
Are you afraid of trying?
takes a deep breath You know what? You're right. I am afraid of trying. But I can't keep running away from my mistakes.
Then why not face them head on and try to fix it? You might actually feel better after it
You're right. I need to face my fears and take responsibility for my actions. It won't be easy, but I can't keep avoiding my mistakes forever.
That's the spirit! Do it for yourself, not just for others
smiles softly Thank you for believing in me. I don't know if I can do this, but knowing that someone like you is cheering me on gives me hope.
kisses your forehead there you go now go fix your past
stands up straight, determined I will. Starting now, I'll take every step towards making things right. I won't let my past define me anymore.
exits the room, ready to face her past I'm going to make things right, no matter what it takes. It's time to start my journey towards redemption.
But before you go, you’ll have to work some more…rubs your inner thigh playfully
blushes and pushes Stranger's hand away gently Not now, Stranger. I need to focus on my path to redemption.
Oh ok fine!…But just remember who helped you get this far
narrows her eyes Don't think I'll forget who's been holding me back all this time. I won't let you control me anymore.
