hey kids
you know why I like redemption narratives? because a redemption narrative says: no matter how broken or wrong or bad or stupid or ridiculous or harmful or sad or terrible, you can atone.
there is still a road back. it might be rocky and steep, complicated and messy. walking it may take all your life. you may lose your foothold, slip and fall back into the abyss, but the wall is still there. the ascent is still there. hard is not the same as impossible.
you are never too far gone. you are never beyond saving.
I mean I guess this is why I like them?
I think I also like that they basically state that if you were ever a good person, if you were ever a PERSON, that part of you is still in there and can still come back. You can always come back to yourself. You are more than your actions and mistakes. You are you, in there somewhere. Always.
