Some people will never know what you’ve come through to get where you are (e.g., robbed, raped, homeless, helpless, hungry, addicted/recovering, beat-up, beat down, cussed out, singled out, shot at, held back, hiding out, held out, overlooked, underestimated, counted out, not counted, no place to hide, …). In fact, many will not even care if you’ve had too much, which can be a problem (e.g., rich/famous people commit suicide,…)! When it is all said and done, you may have traveled some dirty paths and had to backtrack, but God …
It’s OK if dirt gets on you, dirt happens, but dirt does not define (e.g., deny/defy or confirm) who you are; INTEGRITY, does!

Remember: James 5:16, … and keep striving. Amen!
