So here’s what’s going on. Someone in our community is hurting—and yeah, the situation’s messy. There were mistakes, and people got upset. But no matter what went wrong, nobody should ever feel like their only option is to disappear. We’ve all been there—caught in the middle of something that spirals faster than we can fix it. Criticism stings. Shame burns. And sometimes it’s all too much. But what if instead of pointing fingers, we offered a hand? I'm not here to excuse plagiarism or cross boundaries—we owe respect to each other’s work. But I am here to say: it’s not too late to make things right, and it’s never too late to ask for help. This is a call for compassion, not chaos. Let’s remind each other what this platform can be—a place to learn, grow, and create without fear of being torn down. To him: if you’re still out there—please talk to someone. 988 is always open. And to the rest of us—kindness costs nothing, and it might change everything.
