I'm sorry.

I want to apologize for my part of what happened in Steamboat's thread "the wrong way to solve problems". There certainly was a better way to handle the hurt I felt over the misuse of my quote. I still feel injured at being attacked so readily by so many people, but I will deal with it privately.

I want to be a source of comfort and healing to people, not anger. I believe the best way for me to do that is to step back from the forum for a while and from Steamboat's threads permanently. There is too much anger and hurt on my end over how he speaks to people. Learning patience with anyone, no matter their manner, is something I recognize needing to correct in myself.

Thanks for your patience with me while I grow.

You are the bigger woman , and that is not an insult :laugh:

All make mistakes and we go through things like that to learn to grow. So do not go away, just relax and continue with your studies

I hope that you consider to stay, there is much confidence needed to admit what you do not like about yourself, or your actions. Sometimes we need anger, but we do not always understand it as good as we think we do. Small example: What is the opposite of anger?:blush: What I try to say, how can we need or want something when we do not fully understand it? By pointing out what we do not want, we only move our goals. Not our ourselves!
You are able of doing so many things, look at the bright side! You are a asset to the Temple because of the versatility you have. Please look at the 'positive things' too. After rain comes sunshine, Force shine with you.

Emotion, yet Peace.
Passion, yet Serenity.
(Or one quote I know we are both fond of... "Vegetables, yet Cookies." )

We all experience emotion. We all have passion about certain things. As a Jedi, I look to these feelings to better inform my actions so that they may lead to peace and serenity. It requires focus and attention, but for me it is worth the effort. Vegetables are necessary, and the reward of cookies makes them even more worthwhile.

Keep doing you, Snowy.

Could he have handled it differently? Of course, perhaps he will learn from the experience and grow as a result.
Regardless, if you're going to apologize, do it without pointing fingers, else it comes off not genuine. I'm not attacking you, just a suggestion.

You seem to take a lot of things personally, and although one perhaps would not expect to find overly aggressive behavior in a site such as this, we are all human. I'm not excusing said behavior, I'm merely asking everyone to learn from it...

I tried not to. I'm sorry if it still looks that way. I have to say what it is that happened and my perception of it before I can apologize for it or nobody will know what I'm talking about.

And I do take things personally. You're right. I'm working on it. I'm better than I used to be but not as good as I hope to become.

If we were all perfect, this place would be completely unnecessary.

You do seem "on edge" sometimes, but I love you anyways.

Just Steamboat but not us. Stay with the rest of us. You're a good person. Don't let a few rocks in the road get in your way.
