For several years
I struggled in a space of
can I be vulnerable
with a person?
Can I be transparent
with a person?
And can there be a Jesmond
free type of zone where I'm in
and I don't feel
any guilt or shame
because that's
what I've been carrying.
That's a lot of weight walk
carrying around
with lots of guilt and shame
and being able to find someone
and identify someone where
I could speak to you
and you could understand me.
And you treat me
just like a human.
You don't treat me
as if I'm a killer.
I'm a person
that's going to go out here
and hurt people and absolutely
that's not who I am.
That's not who I want to be.
That's not who I identify
myself as.
And for you to treat me
just like a normal human being
and help me work through some
of the things that
I was dealing with.
Was one of the key things
that I truly appreciated.
