"What if I forgave myself? I thought. What……" — Cheryl Strayed
"What if I forgave myself? I thought. What if I forgave myself even though I'd done something I shouldn't have? What if I was a liar and a cheat and there was no excuse for what I'd done other than because it was what I wanted and needed to do?What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?"
