For a connected time, afterwards actuality alone of those charges, I connected to believe I had to feel attrition for my actions. I anticipation that I was a bad kid, like I was lower than shit.

It was alone through acquirements of your adventure and acumen what unfathomable hand you been dealt that I was able to redeem myself in my own eyes, and apprehend that I did not accomplish any mistakes. It was through spending time account about your case, speaking with your mother, and alive what happened to you that fabricated me a accepter in my own truth. I accomplished that actuality alleged a bent was a falsehood. It was only a anecdotal the State beanery fed everyone about “lawbreakers.” It was this advance that reinvigorated me with self-esteem and self-love.
This is why I hope you can bless your altogether with pride. I accept you are innocent of any wrongdoing. I apperceive you ability accept been fabricated to feel responsible, evil, and vile.

The confined and walls do not reflect your character.
Your mom batten at breadth about this to me and to others, but I didn’t charge to apprehend a word. Her eyes mirrored your soul and echoed your suffering. I knew that what you did was not advised to abuse anyone.
I absolutely achievement that you can be able-bodied with this knowledge, and apperceive that your accomplishments accept accustomed added bodies epiphanies into their own bearings and the attributes of this abhorrent ability we alive within. For this, you deserve acceptance and acclaim able-bodied above what I can action in this letter.
I don’t not necessarily accept in karma, but if a being has been able to blow so abounding lives as absolutely as you have, I would like to accept that you will be adored with closing abandon rather than abiding imprisonment. As I said before, I accept you will be appear from your bent confinement. But no amount what happens, aloof bethink the abstruse adeptness to access people’s affections and how they feel about themselves.
In this regard, you accept helped me advice myself in means that I cannot alike absolutely acknowledge yet or comprehend. And for that, I owe you a debt of gratitude.
