Over the years I've done some pretty stupid things.
When I was accused of tracing years ago by someone I respected a great deal, I denied it.

But I did trace. It wasn't the exact picture they brought up, but it was the same pose by the same artist.

I screwed up and I got caught, and they were right to call me out on my bullshit.

I was wrong, I should not have done that.

Another thing I did was copy my ex gf's species and start passing out characters of my version to anyone and everyone. I did it out of sheer spite because she hurt me really bad and I wanted to make her hurt too.

That was also wrong of me.

I also accused her of stealing a bunch of my then toddler daughter's stuffed animals and a few other things, but recently realized that those things may have been accidentally thrown out with the trash by my ex-husband the night before she left.

That was also wrong of me.

I also messed up when I separated from my ex-husband. I did in fact have sex with my current husband the night before I told my ex I wanted a divorce. I should have at least waited until after I told him I wanted a divorce. But I didn't and that was wrong of me.

I've also pretty much ghosted everyone here for years. I went radio silent a few years ago because my antipsychotics we're playing Mary Hobb with my brain and I can barely remember what I was doing for those years.

I'm sorry to anyone I hurt with my silence...

I also ghosted on a couple of people I owed art to at that time, and that's totally inexcusable...I tried reaching out to one of them, but they never responded, and that's on me. I honestly can't remember who the other person was I still owe art to from like 2018... because I was stupid and didn't write it down.

To that person, I'm truly sorry for doing that to you.

More recently I backed out of some art stuff for Gacha Imps people because I took on too much and overwhelmed myself...that's my bad. I didn't mean to upset anyone.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, these are just a few.

I'm doing my best to own my flaws and to fix them so I'm not the person who made those mistakes anymore.

This is not a call out journal for anyone but myself. I'm not reaching out to anyone mentioned or eluded to here, but I am truly remorseful for these things that I've done.

Believe me or not, forgive me or not. That's up to you, but I don't expect a response from anyone about any of this.

I just needed to get it off my chest.

Thanks for reading,
