Is it possible to ask God directly for forgiveness of my sins?

[Gelton]

im worried about my sins, they’ve recently been happening for an incident and i hope things can go back to normal. i just want to be a good person, will i be able to ask forgiveness at home praying to god, or i must go to confession?
