If I talked to Justin and hear him with the intent to listen, I would have gotten help earlier and I didn’t have had to leave him. If I wasn’t blinded by my own anger, I would see how much he loves me. Pride and wrath. Two of the seven deadly sins, and for a bit, I had it control me. But humility and meekness overcome the sins of pride and wrath. And with unconditional love, those sins will never stand a chance.

[Mikho's POV] "Bless me, father for I have sinned," I heard Evo's playful voice inside the confessional box as I was kneeling at the first few in front of the altar. I wanted to shake my head as I was giving thanks to God. Everything had all started here. Sa kaparehong lugar kung saan ako nakaluhod ngayon.
