Sometimes, you'll try to cover up your past mistakes just so you can move on. To forget the guilt and the self hatred, all a mix of emotions welling inside of you wanting to leave. To pour out and escape. Sometimes, it leads you to pretend. To fake who you are. And other times, it leads you to get rid of your old self altogether.
