I am writing this at exactly 8:00 in the evening today for a very specific reason. Today, at this hour, I celebrate the first year anniversary of my liberation.

You see, I was so confused with my life back then. I didn’t know where to begin picking up the pieces and I didn’t know how to rebuild the life that I lost in my desire to feed my carnal needs. I was an adulterer.

So much has already happened to me since that very dramatic night 365 days ago. I was blindedly following instincts at that time, not exactly knowing what the future holds for me. I thought I was going to live the rest of my days a spinster, in fact, at one point, I thought I was going to enter the nunnery (I was still a Catholic then, so the nunnery still seemed a good idea). Well, I was so lost and unsure that in the midst of deciding on exactly what to do, I also partied, and partied hard I did!
