So here's my story. I was in a really bad space for years and it\\'s only recently that i have been able to think about this without feeling a lot of guilt.<br><br>I stole a lego set from the lego store (roughly $50) because we couldnt afford it. I was probably 12 or 13 and my parents were very clearly in a financial crisis, I can see that now. My dad had just lost his job and since my parents were separated he was raising me and my siblings alone. I could tell that he was in a lot of pain and I really wanted to distract myself and my siblings from the situation so I stole a lego set for my sister.<br><br>It was clear that we were going through hard times, but when I got home and gave her the set she was so happy and my parents seemed happy to see us happy.<br><br>Its been a while since then and even though i still think about it sometimes, i feel like it was for good. lego set is just a lego set, it\\'s legos, it\\'s not like i stole food or something (even though that may have been a better choice).
