I recently ran into someone I grew up with. He was a year older than me and would always make fun of me due to my weight. He was a bully and I've never forgotten the things he would tell me. I ran into him at my barbers and he was telling me about his life. How he's divorced but sober now. He said it was good to see me and that it was good I was still in town. He told my barber that we grew up together. I then proceeded to tell him how much I hated all the torment he put me through. He said he was sorry and that was a long time ago. I told him I've carried this with me my whole life(I'm 41 now) and his new outlook on life doesn't change my view on him. He then got this depressed look as if he finally realized what his past actions have done to people. So to those of you seeking redemption, remember that it comes with a price and things aren't always sunshine and rainbows after you feel better about yourself. I will never forgive this guy or any other people who bullied me as a youth. And I let it be known to them. Sometimes the damage is not repairable.
