hello!
i joined deviantart when i was 13 years old and a considerably different person than i am now. i understand that the way that i acted when i was younger is entirely unacceptable in a lot of ways, and for that reason i know that this account has historically been associated with a lot of negativity, drama, and wrongdoing. to those who may have come here to reminisce or otherwise, i apologize for any hurt i may have played a hand in that ails or has ailed you in the past. through my ignorance, false words, unfulfilled promises, and self-importance, i recognize that others have been hurt, and i'm sorry if the growth i have had and am to have is result of suffering i may have caused you. as glad as i am that i have grown and changed for the better, the pain that i inflicted is pain that i bear also in remembering the suffering i caused to others as a person with a degree of power. recalling the things i said, did, and believed as a teenager is horrifying, and though i am better now because of it, i'm sorry both that i ever had to make that growth in the first place and also to the people that had to suffer because of it.
i am so sorry. i hope that my apology reaches those who most need it, and that those impacted by my past actions have since healed and are doing better today than they ever could have imagined all those years ago.
sincerely,
nan
