confess something that’s been weighing on me

I need to get this off my chest – I’ve been feeling guilty about something that’s been weighing on me for a while now.

I know I shouldn’t have lied to my best friend about what happened that night. I was scared of losing their trust, so I made up a story to cover up my mistake. But every time I see them, I feel like a terrible friend for not being honest. I know I need to come clean and apologize, but I’m so afraid of the consequences.

I can’t keep living with this guilt eating away at me. It’s time to face the music and make things right, no matter how difficult it may be.
