I should have apologized properly,

Not sure why I thought hiding behind a lame excuse would be acceptable in such a family like community as the RPRepository. I should have explained my reasons for my absence truthfully.

Last year, I got into some trouble financially and academically and instead of properly dealing with them or asking for help, I chose to ignore them and hide. Doing this for sn entire year filled me with much shame and I only hid from my problems more. When summer hit I abandoned this commnity. The art trafe was something I signed up for, and yes I was alomist finished with my submission, but instead I let personal problems keep me from finishing it. Missing the due date only made me feel worse and ashamed so I assumed if I didn't return I wouldn't have to worry about how mad people be at me.

That is why I have been away. I am much better now though. Been working through my emotional problems dealing with shame. I truly am sorry for treating this community they way I have.

Come on now, don't beat on yourself because of that. No on in this entire community is going to hate you forever. Everyone loves each other!
