My name is Robert, and I’m an arsonist. You probably won’t believe me when I tell you that my reasons are true, and you definitely won’t believe me when I tell you that I never meant to live this way. It sounds like the same old story that every person who commits crimes gives to avoid punishment, and I don’t even expect you to believe that that’s not true. Maybe it is. However, it is my hope that you will at least believe me in the fact that I believe it. If nothing else, please, please remember that.
