It was hard for me, I think, because I almost felt like until they forgave me, I wasn't allowed to forgive myself.
That that was like a luxury that I didn't deserve or something like that.
I was a kid.
You know, my head wasn't on straight and I was dealing with a lot of pain and I felt like that's what I needed to do to get out of that pain.
And I think the closure I've come to realize that needs to happen here is my own.
That's the little mini journey I went on was like, I don't have to keep lying or hiding or running from this or pretending like this was a different person.
You know, I'm going through the trouble of asking you not to call me by my name and worrying about people finding out, but...
It's me.
It's my story.
And I'm not proud of it, but I'm also not trying to run away from it.
I've done it for long enough.
My name is John Paul, and when I was 14 years old, I robbed a bank for $40,000.
Um... Like, there's a lightness in it.
I don't know that I've ever said those exact words, um...
I almost hesitate to say it because it's like I said, I felt like I wasn't allowed to not wallow in shame, but I feel relieved, I guess.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's kind of surprising to me how I've just been saying words, right?
Like I'm just talking.
Like how could words make that much of a difference?
It feels like a new chapter in my life or a new story, and I'm kind of allowing myself to be excited about it.
