Why do i feel guilty?
by DS211 inlast night i had a few drinks and messaged one of my old friends.
i havent seen or spoken to him in a few years because when i became a witness i could not condone or be a part of his worldly behavior...so last night i came clean and i told him why ive basically shunned him the last few years and he said it made sense (he used to be a witness a long time ago).
he said he was pissed for a while but he got over it and all that....i apologised and expressed my own doubts and my situation and he said he understood.
