i think it's obvious from an outsider perspective I struggle with my perception of myself and my behavior especially with the past. no amount of self flagellation will make me feel better about how shit young me was. i should be more compassionate to that kid that was manic and alone - ThreadSky

The past is a cruel beast that will haunt me forever. Being upset won't change the past, but understanding that I can learn from it and continue to be my best now will help me come to terms with how I used to be.

Sadly I won't ever be unbanned, but that's something I will have accept and move on.

Recognizing your struggles and choosing compassion for your younger self is such a powerful step. You’re not defined by your past, You’re defined by how you grow from it. Keep being kind to yourself. #MentalHealthAwareness #BunnyLove #FluffTogether

I mean we're all different people than we used to be, I can blame my younger self for just trying to fit in (poorly) and really regret alot of stuff but I'm not mad at kid me, but kid me is very happy we're a girl now and that we have tiny boobs.

im sure they still love you!!

i think you did a good job taking over for them, and thats what matters most. now you can move on to making amends.

i probably sound cheesy but i just dont want you to feel horrible for what you’ve said or done

Beating yourself up over the past you isn't healthy, if the past you bothers you, be a better you for the future.

We all did things as kids we regret, look back on and judge ourselves harshly with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. Don't be too harsh, but do understand what you could do to be better.

you gotta make art and characters about this, like half of what i make is about this. embrace the muse of your prior shittiness

I'd be scared to because it would be me inflicting violence on young me who was a child at the time and it would look extremely concerning to say but I appreciate the advice a ton

making vent art is healthy.

i totally get what you mean about that, you already went through the song and dance of hating yourself and you don't need to relive it. it doesn't have to be a self-condemnation either, sometimes you can cuddle a wounded animal and tell em they're gonna be fine

you were worthy of compassion back then too, not just from everyone around you but also from yourself.

Feeling embarrassed about your past is perfectly normal and acceptable, but accepting that you have also grown and changed as a person is important. And hey, give ur past self a little credit, it got you here!
