history: I stole some candy from the store yesterday. I felt so bad. I stole some candy from the store. I felt so bad about it. Did this happen recently?  Did you take it back and admit the error?
current: It did...I committed the heinous crime yesterday in a fit of gluttony. I haven't told anyone about it because the candy lies at the bottom of my thieving stomach. I don't know how I'll ever be able to sleep again.
next: Well, you may want to think about admitting it to the store manager and paying for it.  Especially if it's bothering you this much, it's the ony way to resolve it.
