the 'reveal' was here
[Medium] To my dear friends, loved ones, and organizing comrades,
I am so deeply sorry for the ways you are hurting right now because of me. You have expressed confusion, shock, betrayal, anger, and mistrust. All of those things are a consequence of how I have navigated our relationships and the spaces we share.
In trying to sort through parts of who I am, I've taken some very wrong turns. I never really owned up to them as they became apparent, nor recognized the trail of damage behind me. The harm I caused is a result of my lack of courage, a preference for being vague and contradictory, uncertain and insecure. I want to make amends for every ounce of heartbreak and betrayal.
I have let guesses about my ancestry become answers I wanted but couldn't prove. I have let people make assumptions when I should have corrected them. |
