Is redemption truly possible?
Of course it is.
There has to be some way for people to find the means to start over. We can't ever truly start over, not from scratch, because we can't go back and erase our pasts. Time isn't that forgiving, and neither is life. There's no immediate, easy way to atone for past mistakes, but the most sensible one is to believe that over time, we can start to somehow mend the broken things in the years that have gone by and make something more beautiful and bright than what was there before.
I don't know if redemption is the same in the eyes of everyone, and in fact I doubt it would be because then it would be almost easy to acquire, but I do think that no matter who you are or where you come from, what you believe in, that you can redeem yourself if you want to. It wouldn't be an easy process or everyone would do it immediately, but it is possible.
And the things that are the hardest to obtain are often the ones most worth fighting to have and call our own.
