You know everyone's heard about you. Yeah, you're popular in town—but for all the wrong reasons. Isn't it funny how people always are lying by omission? Well of course, they dismiss what is the true story.

They don't care about how people make mistakes, how people try so hard to better themselves, how they climb up that mountain of challenges in their life. Though in the end you find out it doesn't even matter. Your name is still tarnished.

The worse part is, by the time you have become that better person; you find out that the rumors and lies have spread just as fast as the bubonic plague once did. You feel defeated.

Then you ask yourself,
"Was it really worth it?"

Yes. It was.

Because at least you know the truth.
