People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.

I'm finding as I get older that I'm not much of a believer in redemption. I mean I believe in redemption in real life - redemption does happen and it's cool when it does - but I find myself getting leery of my desire for it in stories (especially my own).

Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right versus what you were doing which was wrong.
