The End of Innocence

On Friday, I saw this film Mud.  Without going into an enitre analysis of the film, I would like to point out one thing.

The feeling that a child experiences when they find out someone that they trusted isn't being honest or living up to the honorable thoughts that he/she represented for the child.  Breaching that line of trust is heartbreaking.  I am starting to wonder if moments like that are when young children begin to loose their innocence. For some, I think it may solidify the reasons that they believe in a cause.  For others, I think it begins the justifications for doing wrong or bending the rules without feeling the need to acknowledge the break in integrity and being unapologetic about it.

I remember when this started happening to me, and I feel like I go through it every time I see someone I look up to going down a path where they become protective over their mistakes and misgivings.

Just acknowledge it.
And if you need to, apologize.

I understand that people are imperfect. I know I am, but damn, be willing to say that you are sorry.

Also, gonna take this break to erase my social media presence.
