Goodbye, Cruel World
This is my last post my fellow readers, I will make this quick and to the point. I will not hide the truth from you all anymore. Even though I now see you all for your true colors, and I do not believe you deserve to read this, I will be true to myself, and will make this post public. I feel my life is slowly coming to an end, and I verified this by an article I found online of what people feel when they are about to die, http://news.softpedia.com/news/What-Do-People-Feel-in-10-Ways-to-Die-68930.shtml. More importantly, I will not let that horrible leech win this God forsaken game he has with me. I am Pearl’s father and an adulterer just like the love of my life, Hester, is. Roger Chillingworth, you will not haunt me anymore! I now realize that Hawthorne was right when he described you as, “A striking evidence of man’s faculty of transforming himself into a devil”. In my eyes you are the devil’s child and your only purpose in life was to torture me using my horrible guilt as your main weapon. I shall not let this go on. I am the one victorious, for not because of you or anyone else I am revealing this secret. I am doing this for myself, and with it I feel a weight lifted off my chest, and the doors of heaven opening. I will not fear what is next, I will greet God with my head held high as I know that even though I committed one mistake out of love for a woman, I lived a good life and followed God’s path. I regrettably realize now that I should have revealed this secret much sooner. I should have stood on that scaffold with Hester and Pearl and taken any punishment that was to come for me. However, I was too scared to come forward. I left them for 7 lonely years, and I will never forgive myself for that.
