When you come clean, when you tell the truth, you life a great weight off your shoulders. It’s not that you don’t ever do anything you shouldn’t do ever again, of course not. You’re human, and sometimes the vagaries of life are just too delicious to ignore. Sometimes you are impetuous. Sometimes you are impulsive. And sometimes that’s okay. Sometimes it’s not. It’s just that, when you know you’re caught and you’ve done something you shouldn’t have done, you own up to it.
