i don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but if you do see this, i do want to say from the bottom of my heart that i am sorry how things ended. i’m sorry i wasn’t the friend you needed. i’m sorry that you feel hurt, and i’m sorry if you ever felt invalidated by me or my actions. i never intended to hurt your feelings, or intended for any of my actions toward you to be malicious.
that being said, after a month of struggling with the collapse of our friendship, being betrayed by someone i thought i could rant to in a moment of weakness, and trying to ignore the vague blogs aimed at me, i’m finally at peace with myself. our friendship clearly wasn’t healthy for any of us, and while i wish things had ended differently, it’s probably better for all of us that it did. things were never going to get better, and there were hard feelings all around that probably would have festered into a bigger blow up that would have left us all more hurt.
i’m not perfect, i’m not even close. i’ll own up to that. i’m stubborn, arrogant, and at times utterly unreasonable. i make mistakes. i own all of it. you have your faults too, you aren’t perfect, and none of us are. we all need to work on things, and i admit that. i’m doing my best to grow as a person, and even though you claim to be doing the same, i didn’t use another discord account to try and send you a list of reasons you were a shitty human being in my eyes or things you’d done to upset me months after the fact when you couldn’t do anything about it, or even apologize for things you acknowledged you did wrong.
in the end, i’m letting go, and i just ask you do the same thing you asked of me ( and, i’ve followed through on) :
no contact ( including, but not limited to trying to add me on another discord account in an attempt to harass me )
don’t join any groups you know i am in
no further harassment period
i wish you guys nothing but the best. i know you don’t believe it, but i really loved you guys, and you were some of my best friends. that chapter has closed now, and i’m moving forward. have good lives, have a good time writing, be merry and happy and live your best lives.
this is my first and last comment on this on my blog about this, but i needed to get it off my chest.
