“Kyle, you’re probably surrounded by people who minimize what you did. Well-meaning friends and family, co-dependent as fuck, will tell you that you’ve “paid your debt” and that “that’s all in the past.” […] … you need people in your life who are willing to believe you can transform, but who are utterly unwilling to buy what you’re selling; you need people whose love and concern doesn’t blind them to the reality of how much work you need to do. If you want to get rid of the shame, Kyle, seek them out.”
