and I have found a way to finally derive self worth internally. Throughout this entire period, I have carried my mistake, and I fully intend to continue carrying my mistake, indefinitely.

I will not be competing in any tournaments, I will not be joining any communities.

I am here to publicly apologize, atone, and respond to all of the hate, pain, or grief that I have caused.

Everyone deserves a direct, sincere apology from me.
I will not be blocking any users, or ignoring any commentary.

The only way that it makes sense to me to show my resolve and to take accountability for my mistake is to move forward with the same vigor and principles that I should have maintained from the very beginning.

I will not insult, degrade, harm, abuse, or anything I failed to mention off of memory. I will not rage, rage quit, leave, or disrespect.

I will showcase proper sportsmanship, integrity, and accountability. No one is expected to accept the apology now, or in the future.

I am simply returning to do what I feel is right - to accept all of the messages, resolve myself to atone, and to salvage whatever closure I can give to anyone that has been affected by my actions.

Thank you for your time.
