F these doubters. It's funny. Some call themselves Christian, and yet...seem to miss the whole point. FORGIVENESS!! They always assume "once a criminal, always a criminal."
I once faced down a federal charge. Okay, okay. It faced ME down. Ya see, I broke a law. It netted me a felony. FEDERAL C felony. Had the Supreme Court not decided that the Federal Guidelines for Sentencing were NOT mandatory, I went from expecting 3 years in prison to 3 years probation, the first year supervised by an ankle monitor. Still, it was a felony nonetheless.
What'd I do? Glad you asked!! I was a music bootlegger during those CD days. Did you want an unreleased album? I had it. Live show from (insert date)? I had it. Out of print titles? Had 'em. Anything available under the sun that was NOT commercially available in the stores, I had it or could get it. I got arrogant, so I got caught. On the day I was raided, I got to know a team of Secret Service agents quite well (as they took all my stuff away). There are sometimes ongoing consequences, yes - but not many, especially as more time goes by. Eventually, nobody will care aside from the victims (if any).
Bottom line is: don't let unforgiving ######## get you down. You have no obligation to prove anything to them (just to yourself and those around you). They are toxic, and you don't need 'em! Ever. Hang in there. After a few years in one or two places, you will have established a reputation most will accept without ever seeing more than paperwork. It may be harder to do in the beginning, but it'll get easier. You have to believe it'll work out because you are worth it now. Prove it to yourself. Prove it to your close friends and family who stuck with you all along. Prove it to the boss who gives that chance. Anyone else?
