The Guilt Trip Novels & Stories

“Mom guilt? It sounds like the only thing you don’t feel guilty about is turning me down.” “That’s right. Not an ounce of guilt about that.” I said, turning my head and facing Cas with a big smile. He just rolled his eyes at me, and I turned back. “Mom guilt is when you feel guilty for not being there enough, and when you are there, you feel guilty for not doing enough with them. For working too much, not buying enough toys, or too many toys. For saying no or not being strict enough. It’s doubting yourself and feeling like a failure because you want to be the best mom there is.”

Who's plagued my thoughts. This isn’t guilt. I know guilt. Guilt has followed me for years, since the accident. Since I lost my sister and my friends. Guilt is what chained me to a life inside hospital walls. What bound me to duty, to my grieving mother. But this? This isn’t guilt.

“Of course not. He wouldn’t.” Blowing out a calming breath, I nodded and forced myself to relax, mostly so I’d stop scaring her even more than I already was. But then I had to go and ask, “So he never forced you?” “No, no. Never. He just…you know…guilt-tripped me into it…sometimes. But only when I wasn’t, you know, totally in the mood.” My brow furrowed as I slowly repeated, “Guilt-tripped?” “Yeah. You know… If I wanted to stop, he’d call me a cock teaser, or tell me I was being cruel and hurting him for leading him on so far. Or that I should want to be with him because we were in love and…well, you know…”

"But here's the thing about guilt: it's supposed to motivate change. It's supposed to make you better." "GUILT IS A WEIGHT. IT CRUSHES. IT DESTROYS." "Only if you let it define you instead of drive you." Thomas pulled Martha close, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "We ran in 1999. We survived when others died. And for twenty years, we thought about pressing that button every single day." "BUT YOU NEVER DID."

But I can’t stop my mind from rehearsing what would happen over and over again as it tires itself out. Guilt. This is what real guilt feels like. Can I say I didn’t do it on purpose? I didn’t! It was there because I didn’t throw it out of the window after I have thrown most of the things off! I wouldn’t even believe myself... Maybe I should say that I was just really mad at Ava, and I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Ava uses this as a legit excuse all the time. But somehow it just doesn’t sound legit in my mind. Maybe if--

How her jeans were thin at the knees, that bag she gripped like it might fall and why she ran back in after I threatened her with the lawsuit. Little Miss Callahan was broke as hell. Ah shit! I rolled over to the side. This strange feeling was creeping inside my chest. What was it called again-guilt maybe? That thing you feel when maybe you’re wrong. I wouldn’t know. “Guilt only makes you a weaker man.” Those words, I’d heard repeatedly all my life. Even when I’d accidentally injured a fellow player—and I’d stand by it. The camera crew would arrive soon. Priya had sent three reminder texts about the ‘morning routine segment’. And she added a little comment, talking about.

A wave of guilt washed over me, its crushing weight threatening to consume me whole. "Claire doesn't deserve this cruel fate." I muttered to myself, my voice low and laced with anger and frustration. The guilt still lingered, refusing to be shaken off, no matter how hard I tried. It had taken up residence in my mind, a constant reminder of my failure to protect her.

Needed to. Guilt is a strong emotion. Guilt can make a person do a lot of bad things, it can shape them to be who they are. Guilt can have power over a person’s mind. And what you give power to can have power over you. You can either deal with it and let it fuck you up. Or you can fight it, and fuck it up instead. "Okay..." Eden still sounded unsure and Malakai didn't know what to do. So for now he left it alone until they were done with Elijah’s people.

Charles finally leaned forward, his voice low, almost too calm. “I think guilt is a prison,” he said. “It keeps you locked in the past. But it also keeps you tied to the promises you made, to the people who believed in you. It’s not easy—but it’s honest. Guilt doesn’t let you run. It makes you stay.” He paused. The crowd was silent. “But love…” He glanced up, and this time, his eyes found hers. “Love makes you selfish. It makes you want things you shouldn’t want. It makes you fight for things you’re not supposed to have.”
