Dear Hearthspirit, i was floating after St Catherine Alexandria got the strong/vulnerable thing but then i saw your response and so yesterday was a mix because i'd done wrong by you and wanted to really think out a proper non-defensive response:
i'm sorry that i missed your earlier reply regarding beyonce. i've been having a harder time keeping up with replies now that i don't always sign my name and have to scroll, and then i give up and start a new thread (like here and now). so from now on when we're actually going back and forth, i shall use my name or one of them, so i can do a proper search and not miss a reply and add to the impersonal nature of this medium.
i will take more care to be more thoughtful and not selfish about what's easy. i must work harder to defy the sloppiness and yes, cruel impersonality of this medium. so call me out if and when i slack or pinch.
i did not know any of that about beyonce and i'm ashamed for spouting off about things i know nothing about. i didn't mean to undermine your respect and enjoyment of another artist. i do apologize. it was wrong and caustic of me.
i won't stop being wrong and caustic as a general thing, but about THIS, i will take care to not be dismissive again. you also, like St Catherine Alexandria, give a lot so much of yourself to this place and the others, and didn't deserve that.
especially when you'd bothered to answer me TWICE.
so thanks for not blowing ME off and going back in. i'm duly ashamed and i bow my head to you in apology in that i will honestly strive to be more thoughtful with you. i recognize you and your beautiful power and don't want to ding it and add to the violences and scars of regular people in life today.
this is long, but i've been thinking long and hard about what a shmuck i was. i didn't know beyonce's THAT serious about her thang and i dig that in anyone.
so i'm sorry and will keep my name around or one that's searchable, and work to not ever blow you off again. so if i DO, call me out. you let me be the bitch i am so i've gotta protect the sweetest parts of you and me here. i know like Philly Girl above, you GET what i intend.
