I’ve always believed that you should
never be ashamed to express your opinions and feelings even if others don’t
agree with what you say.
By now, you would have probably seen
the video that I posted last week but have since taken down. In today’s digital
world, something you post can be amplified and shared far and wide in a short
amount of time. That’s not something I can control, but I can control how I react
to this.
My video is something I’m proud of
despite the hate I’ve received. I was being honest. And if any of the points I
have brought up can provoke an important conversation amongst young,
impressionable girls – then, it was all worth it.
However, I learnt that I’m not the
only one affected by this. I realise now that in speaking my mind, I also hurt someone
else’s reputation and feelings. Upsetting S was never on my agenda. I was wrong
and I regret posting my video on social media.
Facing up to the consequences means
learning to make amends. Unfortunately, that means having to make the difficult
decision of choosing what’s more important to me: standing by what I said in my
video… or sacrificing it for someone I care about deeply.
With a heavy heart, I’ve made my
decision. I’ve decided to nurture and focus on my relationship with S and this
means my blog is going to be deactivated for a while. I know some of you aren’t
going to be happy with my decision but I sincerely hope that I can count on each
one of you to understand where I’m coming from.
Thank you for everything you all have
done for me. The fearless support, the patient listening ear, the unshakable shoulder
to cry on… trust me when I say I will truly miss each and every one of you. I promise
to be back soon.
