i would like to be the first to say that i had a past, even a fairly recent past, that was shrouded in ignorance and a reluctance to learn and accept differences and things i felt i couldn’t understand but as i continue to learn and educate myself on different cultures and-

the hardships they experience, i want to dedicate my platform to helping support them and their voices, no matter how small my platform is! to anyone i’ve ever angered or hurt with my willing ignorance, i regret it deeply and know it need not deserve forgiveness. i just hope-

i can inspire others to grow and listen to their peers the way i learned to and continue to learn!

this thread wasn’t instigated by anything specifically it’s just been on my mind recently because for a very long stretch i had a white savior complex and hurt a lot of people because of it
