Nadine wonders if, maybe, enough people tell her she's a good person, she might be able to accept it.
But she thinks there's a very big difference between nice and good. She's a nice person. Good...well, who knows?
"Sometimes good people make mistakes." That much is true. A single mistake can't be enough to tarnish someone's soul forever. Everyone screws up or makes a wrong call or gets in over their head at some point. It's what they do next that matters. If they change, or just keep going the same way.
"It's part of being a person. Doing something bad doesn't make a person bad. Just like doing a good thing doesn't make a person good. We're the sum total of our actions, not a single one."
