Honesty

Yes, I know. A word we are told we know nothing about. Honesty is the only thing that you have going for you anymore folks.

Looking at those of our status, we are not trusted. An obvious statement, however it brings a point. Why be dis-honest? We all know what we did. The crimes that we have committed. Be honest about them, talk to your counselors, your priest, your family. Bring it to the forefront of your thoughts and keep it there. Build your support group, and ensure that when you have troubles you talk to them about your troubles.

Now, I am not saying to let others lead you. You are the only person that can lead yourself. You are the responsible person in all of this. Take charge of your life, lead yourself to something better.

The most important thing though, is to be honest with yourself. There are people that will never accept you into their lives again. Some of us have lost everything. No wives, no children, no parents; but this is not forever. You can change this. Just like you ruined it, you can make it better eventually. Make your change positive, and stick with it.

You cannot change the past, and it does no good to sit by and dream that you want to change what you did. There is no way to do that, all that can be done is to move forward in your lives and make a positive impact to yourself and those around you. Some of you that are still in a depressed state will think that a positive thing is to inflict harm upon yourself. That is NOT something positive. Yes, you have committed a terrible act, but compounding that with another terrible act is not a solution. Seek help if you are one of those persons with depression.

Make a difference, change yourself for the better. We are the persons that created this mess, no one else, and because of this, we are the only ones that can move ourselves forward.

take care,
S.O.
