SHAME IN ACTION

I've always had the feeling of guilt, whether it be because of something I said, something I had done, even something I had not done. One part of me however would bring me guilt like no other, and that is who I am.

​

I didn't come to terms with being gay until I was about 19, maybe 20. I'd always push the thought to the back of my mind and assumed it would go away and I would be 'normal' eventually. I'd mourn for the possible loss of relation in friends and family, and in turn supress myself, my thoughts, my emotions and my feelings for other people.

​

In my journey through higher education, I got my first real taste of freedom and independence, opening me up to many new aspects of my life. I discovered not only my sexuality, but also my nature, giving me the answer to the question I never saw myself asking before.

​

What is my purpose?

​

Guilt is my retrospective diary of my time at university, and the many events that forged me into me. My personal struggles, the challenges I encountered, the responsibilities I took on, and the friends I would grow to love.
