Rant: I cheated.

I cheated on my ex in high school my senior year after dating for 2 years and now that I’m older and left it all behind, it’s starting to get dug back up by people who have no business knowing about my life. Yes, what I did was wrong. Yes, I feel guilty when ever I delve on it. Yes, I was extremely stupid for making that decision but I will not ever let that mistake define who I am as a person. I know I screwed up and the fact that people who mean nothing to me are trying to drag me down for my past actions clearly don’t know me. Because of what happened, I’ve grown as person and I’m not saying that what I did was a good thing, it was horrible! But I’ve learned a lot since then. About who I am and what I want. It’s reshaped me in ways I never could have imagined. So I will not take those unknown #’s calling me a whore and a slut. Or the whispers about me from people in the malls, at my previous jobs, etc. Because I know more than ever that I will never betray my future boyfriend/husband for a fact. I do not need to explain myself to people who keep warping the truth to demonize me further than what damage has already been done. Get to know me and learn the finer details of my situation before you make a judgment call from false information coming from people who don’t know shit yet think they do. This one mistake will not define me. I am strong, and resilient. I will not let this or other people bring me down anymore.
