So if you haven't noticed, I deleted my "So you're *insert sexual identity here* what else you got" stamp series. I did this because I was ashamed of my previous attitude and was appalled to find people were still agreeing with them in 2017; a whole six years after the fact, which doesn't seem huge but my mentality has made a complete 180 since then and with looking back, I can only be ashamed of what I wrote and even more ashamed to find myself still defending it in 2014. 

Yes it's, at least, partially true that other people can be too in-your-face with their identities and abuse them to make them seem morally superior but these people are just a loud minority amongst the countless thousands of others that just want to live their life peacefully and/or be proud of who they are. I didn't understand this in 2011, at 27, which is a whole other kettle of fish entirely.

At that age, I'm sorry to admit that I still had the mentality of a teenager and in a lot of ways, I still do but then, one year later, I discovered that I too happened to be... alternative and my mindset completely changed. In the years since then, I've been through many transformations and have become much more informed on the people I was unfairly ragging on and I only did that because I still felt the juvenile need to be popular/inflammatory towards those I didn't understand and I would like to apologize to those people, actually.

I am deeply and truly sorry for spreading hate and ignorance about your way of being. It shouldn't have been invalidated or attacked because of my ignorance. You've never asked for much, just the same rights and freedoms that straights/"normal" people seem to possess and that's more than fair. I'm sorry for hurting you and for being idiot about your plights. I'll understand if you don't forgive me but I truly am sorry for adding to your misery.

As for my other, controversial stamps, I'm not sure about those. Looking back, I'm rather ashamed of my descriptions and replies to people, for a lot of it was performative, schizophrenic garbage that I'm surprised anyone could understand at the time. Also, stamp making hasn't been a thing for me since 2012 so I doubt I'll return to it but, who knows? I know I say it every time but I might pick it up again. Every time I come to DA, I find myself collecting stamps all over again but I doubt I'll ever find the time to do it full time again so...

I guess... this is goodbye? 

Again, sorry for the drama. 

See ya.
