With absolution, provided that you are sincere, that you’ve done your best to confess your mortal sins without intentionally hiding anything, that you want sincerely to amend your life, then…
Your sins are taken away, obliterated, gone from your soul never to be held against you. They are not merely covered over. They are eradicated forever. They are washed clean out of your soul by the Blood of the Lamb. You might remember them (with sorrow), but they are no longer yours. Penance must be done in reparation for them, but they have been irrevocably forgiven.
