Life lessons: only the facts matter:
Staying True to Myself and Moving Forward:
(I won't revisit wounds I'm making progress in healing from. ❤️🩹)
I believe in taking responsibility for my actions and focusing on what I can control. When I make a mistake, I reflect, learn, and do my best to make amends. I strive to align my actions with my values, which include standing against abuse and bullying in all forms.
Recently, a situation has arisen that has been deeply challenging for me. I feel the need to address it in a way that is honest but respectful, while also setting boundaries for my own well-being.
Clarifying the Facts:
I have never and would never endanger anyone. My actions have always been rooted in safeguarding and supporting others, even when it comes at a cost to myself.
I believe abuse and harm cannot be justified under any circumstances. Accountability matters, and I hold myself to that standard, just as I believe others should.
I am not responsible for the actions or choices of others. I can only take responsibility for my own behaviour and ensure it aligns with my principles.
The Importance of Boundaries:
This situation has taught me the importance of setting and respecting boundaries. While I value open communication and believe in resolving misunderstandings, I also recognise when a situation is no longer productive. I am choosing to focus on healing, rebuilding, and moving forward with my life.
Addressing False Narratives:
There have been claims and assumptions about me that do not reflect the truth. While I cannot control how others perceive or speak about me, I can clarify that:
I have never lied to the police or acted maliciously toward anyone.
My intentions have always been to defend myself when necessary, not to harm others or escalate conflicts.
I prioritise logic, facts, and integrity in all my actions, and I reject attempts to twist or misrepresent the truth.
Moving Forward:
I will not engage in manipulation or conflict. My focus is on creating a safe, positive environment for myself and those around me. I have learned that not everyone will see the truth or agree with my perspective, and that’s okay.
Healing is my priority, and I encourage others involved to take a similar approach. Blame and conflict do not lead to resolution; accountability, reflection, and empathy do.
Final Thoughts:
I want to close this chapter with a commitment to growth. I am choosing to focus on my goals, values, and well-being while leaving behind negativity and false narratives. To those who may misunderstand my actions or intentions, I wish you peace and clarity.
We all have the power to evolve, learn, and become better versions of ourselves. I hope we all choose that path.

Please note:
This post has been rewritten as I was emotional when I first wrote it, and I recognise that my literal communication style may not always be interpreted as intended by non-autistic individuals. I’ve worked hard to reword it in a neutral and respectful way while emphasising the key points I wanted to convey.
One additional clarification: I have not received any apologies at any time. It is concerning to hear about alleged confidential emails referencing apologies I have not personally received. If true, this could constitute a breach of confidentiality, which would be inappropriate for any organisation.
This post is not intended to make accusations but to address harassment I experienced recently, which I cannot respond to directly due to false allegations made to the police. My goal is simply to clarify my position and set healthy boundaries as I move forward.
