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.
