You can’t change everything, but you can do your best to do the right thing.

Posted in Posted by Adam Brewer

That is something I’ve been trying to remember ever since I came here, but unfortunately I forgot. In my life I have faced the problem of upsetting friends and family with things I’ve said. Much of the time I don’t mean what I say, or I will realize that what I said was wrong, but that doesn’t help smooth over feelings. I have learned that apologizing and starting to DO the right thing is the best way.

 

A year ago I was very angry, and I didn’t have many friends, actually about the only friends I had were Inklings. I was chronically angry and took it out on everyone. Now this changed, but not before I was kicked out of the inklings, and had a good long time to think about it. I fought with a lot of Inklings members and openly mocked the rules, and I am surprise now that I think back on it that Pip and Jane let me back in, but they indeed did. However it was the same day that I suddenly realized I needed to get my heart right with God, and work things out with my family.

 

So a year later I had all but forgotten the inklings, but sure enough one day Chezdak had written about an “American character” she was making, and I laughed so hard that I kinda remembered the Inklings, and that I did have fun here and it wasn’t all fighting and tears. So I promised myself I wouldn’t do anything to hurt other people this time, and that I wouldn’t let myself offend anyone. And so I took that re-invite, and joined Inklings.

 

It was all but dead.

 

Sure enough not many still were here, and others were leaving. I was kinda upset to learn this, but I plunged in and started talking to someone I had kinda overlooked last time I was here. Arianna Joy. She in many ways reinforced the positive memories I had because she’s a sweet kind person who helps lift peoples spirits when they’re down.

 

It was so positive that I plucked up the courage to go to our leader and ask her for a list of tings to be done, so that we could bring inklings back together. It all worked so well that In some ways I have become proud, and have at a couple of times though jokingly proclaimed myself the best writer here. And I apparently hurt a couple people here.

 

Now to handle something. I never meant that by saying that Pip thought of me as dark and evil, that she CALLED me dark. From a couple of PM’s during the fiasco I kind of got the feeling that she thought I was evil and dark because of some of the things I did. I never meant this as an attack, nor did I mean that she was evil in any way, but she and I never got along, and that’s the sad truth.

 

Now I ask anyone I have offended during this to forgive me. I promise that I am not trying to hurt anyone or imply that anyone else was evil.
