Metanoia // The Goonies

met·a·noi·a
ˌmetəˈnoiə/
noun
change in one's way of life resulting from sorrow or regret for having done wrong.

I grew up being used. I had no family or home. I met someone who promised to take care of me for my appearance in return. I was given money and shelter and food. Only if I did what I was told.

Finally I needed to figure out who I really was inside. I was never given a chance to fully see who I was so I wanted to figure it out. On my own. For the first time ever.
