"I do not need to be forgiven."
But the sin has not bloomed yet.
Like a flower, it takes time to grow.
Every action a life makes holds weight.
Over time, your heart grows heavier and heavier.
Eventually, it becomes too heavy to keep carrying.
It is the condition of being alive.
It is the condition of having a soul.
It is natural. It is normal.
Everyone does it, so what does it matter?
That'd probably be your justification, right?
If that is how you wish to live, so be it.
Love cannot be forced.
Coercion is not coexistence.
May you live your life how you deem to be right,
and may your heart never grow too heavy.
