I want to address something important. To everyone who feels hurt by me: whether it was something I said, did, or failed to understand, I’m genuinely sorry. Hearing so many people come forward with their own stories has made me reflect deeply. Even if I don’t agree with every detail or remember things the same way, I know that if multiple people are saying they were hurt, then something I did caused that pain, and I have to own that.
I’m human. I’m flawed. I make mistakes, and I’m learning that intent isn’t the same as impact. I don’t want to run from this, and I don’t want to hide behind excuses. I want to face my shortcomings and work to be better.
I’m committed to growing, listening, and making sure I don’t repeat the same mistakes. I know this won’t fix everything overnight, and I don’t expect immediate forgiveness, but I do hope I can earn trust back over time by changing, not just saying I will. Thank you to those who were honest with me, even when it was painful to hear. I’m going to do better.
