... then please own up and say so. I've been enduring some interesting "things" lately which lead me to believe someone from the community has an issue with me. I try to be a pretty transparent person, this isn't the "public face" I put on in hopes you'll like my page or something this is the real me screw ups and all. I dont know how to be someone else. The community is extremely important to me and if someone's got an issue I'd like to resolve it. I, like everyone else, can be a big stupid idiot at time (ex. the time I thought someone stole my image and they didnt and I made a big public stink about it) but I always try to resolve those things (ex. big public apology taking responsibility for said stupidness) it's come to my attention there's some 'rumours' flying around. I have a pretty good idea where it's all stemming from and Im sure you do too ;) I mean really there's only two people I know of who could have a beef with me.
But, better to err on the side of caution, I just want to say if anyone here in the community has ever had an issue with me dont feel like we can't talk about it. Don't think I can't change my mind, or that we can't be friends either. Im a person who prefers positivity to negativity and keeping certain boundaries from toxic people is hard because I'd rather forgive and forget (sometimes it just gets to a point where you're being walked on though and it's better to put a boundary down) There's a lot of "clique"ness going on out there in the mermaiding world. I see it a lot, but maybe I'm the only one who sees it. It's part of the reason why I wanted so badly to start the e-zine. But being part of the community keeps me grounded and helps me be a better person in a mer. if Im heading in a bad direction I'd rather my friends tell me so then let me crash and burn. Im all by myself out here and without mer-family around it's hard to know the ropes... have to figure it out mostly online and by myself so I stumble sometimes.
That being said if anyone has any issue at all, please feel free to PM me, or email me. I'd be happy to discuss and see what to do to make it better.
