Cause I owe y’all an apology for even longer.

you went through something hugely traumatic and your brain was reacting to that, so... please be kind to yourself

yeah, like, i was gone for multiple years bc i was sad and people still welcomed me back, you went through something horribly traumatic and reacted to that in an understandable way

^ yes this

You don’t owe us an apology for being human hun. Being human is messy and complicated and a series of disastrous mistakes that sometimes turn out okay. I’m glad you’re doing better and if you wanna talk about anything hit me up

Seconding what everyone else has said. I love you, Kim, and I'm happy whenever I see you around

Holy god, Kim, I'm so sorry you've been going through that. That's incredibly traumatic. As everyone else said, be kind to yourself, I'm so glad to see you again.

ahhh i was just thinking about you earlier today! +1 you absolutely do not need to apologise for anything, we all fall into communication voids sometimes for varying reasons (and like, i've been a failboat on replying to you even, bc. the black pit.)

the most important part is that you're okay and taking care of yourself

God, Kim. I'm so sorry that happened. You don't owe us an apology. I'm glad to see you, and I hope you can be gentle with yourself.

You keep saying how shitty it is but it isn't. We don't know each other very well at all, but having seen that I know you feel it in your heart that you want to reach out to people. You went through something absolutely devastating and anyone who really is your friend will understand that. Keep going day by day, you've got this, and you can do this-

-you're important, you're a person and you're a human. Don't forget that you need you time too and people will respect it. I really hope that you can meet your goals and that nothing bad happens to you again.

I appreciate that. Really. But I did a lot of harm to relationships that I value, and that’s the thing that is shitty.

I love you and I'm glad you're still here

Please take care of yourself.

Kim, love. The important thing that you’re here and you’re now reaching out and trying to repair things. And if people don’t understand what a life altering thing you went through and can’t give you some grace, well... I hope they step on legos.

what ladysarai said, yes!
