Hello everyone,
This is Tina. I wanted to take a moment to share with you some thoughts and reflections about life, our interactions, and the emotional canvas they paint. I hope this will help you understand me better and maybe even offer a sense of relief if my actions or words have ever left a mark.
I am fully aware that I am a human being, flawed and imperfect. I am an amalgamation of emotions, sometimes rational, sometimes irrational, always real. I have made mistakes, caused pain, and hurt people, sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. For all these instances, I offer my sincere apologies.
My actions, I realize, have sometimes reflected pettiness. There are times when I’ve used personal knowledge against someone in the heat of an argument or fallout, and I understand how that can be hurtful. I recognize that this behavior has led some to feel uncomfortable around me, to feel that they are not in a safe space, that they cannot trust me. This is something I deeply regret and am working on changing.
I also understand that my affectionate, often clingy nature towards my husband may have made some feel that I lack independence. This is not the case. My love for my husband is a part of me, but it does not define me.
I’ve heard how some of you feel about accepting help from me. You worry that I might hold it over your heads in the future. This was never my intention, and I’m sorry if it ever felt that way. I offer help from a place of respect, understanding, and genuine care, and I regret any discomfort it may have caused.
I know there are feelings of mistrust and there are those who believe I am not supportive, that I am not a friend, that I am self-absorbed, and quick to anger. These perceptions hurt me, as I strive to be better, to be understanding, and to be a real friend. I am sorry if my actions have demonstrated otherwise, and I am committed to improving.
I am aware that some consider me to be overly dramatic, paranoid, and untrustworthy, to the extent of feeling the need to record our interactions or avoid me altogether. I am sorry if I have made you feel this way, and I will strive to change this perception.
To those who believe I am conceited, self-absorbed, and narcissistic, I want you to know that I am human and I make mistakes. I am working on becoming a better person, a person who is humble, caring, and considerate.
I realize that some of you see me as a user, a gold digger, and a manipulator. I am deeply saddened by this perception and want to assure you that it is not true. I am misunderstood, and often struggle to express myself accurately.
To those who perceive me as childlike, please know that I am learning and growing every day. My journey may not look like yours, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s simply different.
Lastly, to those who think I am obsessed with fame, attention-seeking, or even involved in witchcraft, let me assure you – I believe in God, and I am simply trying to find my path in this vast world one day at a time.
I know that my actions have led some of you to become stronger, to strive harder, and to want more in life. For this, I am grateful. I hope that in the future, we can build bridges of understanding, trust, respect and friendship.
I understand that my actions have resulted in some people distancing themselves from me. I am sorry for the role I have played in causing this. I am committed to changing, to becoming a better version of myself, and to building relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope this gives you a better understanding of who I am, my struggles, and my intentions. I am committed to growth, understanding, and change. I hope we can move forward, build better relationships, and find the understanding and companionship we all need.
Always,
Tina.
