I think that you can keep your peace if you start by doing the right thing. Better late than never. You can turn your life around since we are all understanding. You can walk away from your mistakes, learn your errors, correct what you can and focus on your work, friends, and your own narrative. Why is that so hard to understand?
i get it u were just sticking out for ur friend and thought u could teach a lesson but you still have chance to get out of things that have nothing to do with you and focus on you, least that’s what everyone else is doing. you can still save whatever you worked hard for, don’t ruin it by thinking you’re doing anyone justice by throwing yourself in harm’s way or thinking that you have to avenge for someone else when you know nothing about it.
YOUR LESSON IS TO NEVER GET IN THE MIDDLE OF OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. JUST MIND YOUR OWN AND WORK ON YOURSELF.
