27-year-old Patrick takes us through a painfully embarrassing moment in college when he spoke at a fellow student's memorial service having had too much to drink. He carried assumptions and fear about what people thought of him for 9 years. Today he lets it go, and replaces his hurtful story with one of self-gratitude and love.
