Guilt is something we carry with us years after the fact. It continues to haunt us and taunt us with what we had before and what we lost because of what we did. Sherwin is in the middle of a major depressive episode that has been going on for months after his girlfriend, Lanie, left him and as a matter of consequence she was assaulted by Sherwin’s closest friend. Wracked with guilt, he has lost all sense of time after the event and is haunted by severe hallucinations of past events leading up to Lanie’s assault. He awakes everyday to go through the motions of hallucinations to punish himself in his own personal form of hell. He wishes to constantly remind himself of the good he had and how it was his fault Lanie left and how it was his friend who assaulted her after she was no longer his, making her assault indirectly his fault. Sherwin’s inability to let go of the guilt of his past actions is a cautionary tale of the dangers of allowing your guilt and past mistakes manifest in a self-destructive way. I have the stance that if you feel guilty for your past actions, you have already grown past the person you once were.
