I’m sorry about how all of this is affecting the queer community that has loved and supported me since I got on this space. I’m really sorry. I’m so sorry.
I need everyone who still has any hope for me and my existence to know this, I’m doing better than I did in my past, today.

One day, like I already do. I’d share with you about my not so impressive past, again. This time with more details. I DID NOT STAB my girlfriend. However, we were in an abusive space the first two years of our relationship and we would occasionally have heated arguments and

fights that would burn us both and one time we almost burned down our entire house with the heat. God saved us both and we have been together 4years after that and we’ve gotten better and healed for ourselves and each other. I have a video on my channel that vaguely talks about

this period of our lives:

I also spoke about this on podcast I was a guest on:https://t.co/KOWAYkULNp
One day, when I’m ready, I’ll talk about that day in more details with

pictures and videos. I’m not ready today and I won’t today.
I also acknowledge
and I apologize to the queer people who shared a toxic friendship space with me. I am doing better than I did with you. I was so confused on why you all distanced yourself from me and that’s why— Amara, the lesbian. (@the_amarion) January 3, 2022
I’ve repeated talked about my confusion and the feeling of abandonment I felt. Now
I know you left because you were unsafe around me and you were scared to tell me about it. I never wanted to be that person to you but I was and for this, I’m so very sorry.This country is hard

enough already on queer people, I do not want to cause any more hardship for any
queer person.I do believe I’m a better friend today than I was to you. And I still I’m doing more to be better and heal from my traumas. I will talk to a therapist this year and stop self-

therapizing or using my friends for free therapy. I’ll get the help that I need.
Again, to every queer person affected by this, I’m really sorry.
I’ve never wanted to be perfect to your gaze or tried to be. I bare myself to my camera as honest as my own experiences cover,
— Amara, the lesbian. (@the_amarion) January 3, 2022
hoping that somebody out there would relate and feel less alone. Even in horrible times and spaces, even when you’re the bad thing.
I’m human and I’ve made mistakes and I’ll still stumble on this journey I’m walking. I share to feel less alone not because I’m perfect
— Amara, the lesbian. (@the_amarion) January 3, 2022
but because life is lonely. life is very lonely.
Thank you for all the ways you all have made me feel less alone in this my life. Thank you. I’m sorry for the heaviness all of this is causing for you all.
I am growing and everyday I choose to do better and I do, I really do.
