I didn't just look past them. They've done bad things, but they've also done immeasurable good. Mostly my point was to illustrate that whatever it is that you've done that you believe warrants this isolated, unloved existence... well it's not the same for me. Those things aren't going to stop me from wanting to be there for you because I know there's more to it. There's good there too.
I'll be honest, it probably won't be easy. It'll take effort on all of our parts. But we're willing to put that work in.
