No, I really don't see where this is a good revenge.

It feels more like something I did against myself than like something I did against them.
It wasn't the right thing to do by all means, but...I don't know. It just feels satisfying. And I know that's coming from my own perspective as a kid who got pushed around until he decided he wasn't going to take that crap anymore. Perhaps it's because I'm an aspiring fiction writer, and one of the themes I want to pursue in my work is justice and vengeance.

I'm just saying it'd make a great story. But what's important is that you've released that shame and you're more the ready to amend it, and hey, that's great.
