Have you ever asked yourself, what if you’re the villain?

A few days ago, someone told me that I did something mean to them. As a person who avoids conflict often, I clarified things but did not explain the underlying reason to my action. The last time I tried voicing out, it ended badly, and changed my relationship with the said person forever.

But I haven't had someone outright say it in front of me. Perhaps, it was a realisation to me that actually, I have been awful to others. But it isn't without reason, and I'd love to justify my actions, but I am not willing to deal with the consequences.

So I shall do what I do best, avoid.

Because the fact is, you already are a villain to your story. And one day, when you are ready to face the conflict, you are finally set free.
