I Apologize for What I've Said in the Past:
I lied about being rich and powerful. I'm not either of those two things.
I didn't mean all the hurtful and lewd things that I said to some of you guys a while back, when I first created this account and started using it. I was only desperate for attention at the time of making those comments.
I'm done with that nonsense now. I'm ready to grow. But I must ask a favor of you, the Steemit community, the ones that have given me my reputation, albeit well-deserved: can you please forgive me and help me to gain back my rep?
I ask with much shame in my heart. I feel very weak and vulnerable right now, after having this time to introspect and having decided to make another appearance, from this new perspective. I really wish that I could take all my past actions back...but I can't, so I can only come back to you with sincerity and ask that you give me another chance to prove my worth to you.
I accept where I am right now. I know that it's deserved. Please help me to earn your trust and respect.
