Addressing some matters

Greetings ponies and creatures alike, Culture Shock here. I know I haven't updated in quite some time. Heck, I still have episodes and comics to review in limbo for Luna's sake. But I wanted to come to you with a more pressing matter. Now, I know not a lot of you read these, and that's okay, but for those who have you've gotten to know a vague image of the man behind the pony. Generally speaking, I'm a down to earth and fun loving individual. I care for my friends and like to chat or enjoy pop culture. All positive qualities for a reviewer to have. But things go a little... deeper... than that.

Recently, I got myself into some unwanted drama due to not wording things properly. I offended some amazing people and lost a few friends because of it. I won't go into details or names about it as to uphold anonymity. Those who know I hope understand how much I apologize and understand their decisions.

I have made several promises in my life. I've promised to be a listener. To be a friend. To be there for people when they need me. But most of all... I promised to change. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to keep these promises to people I've claimed to care for. And that in itself hurts.

I'm not a good guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a role model. Nor am I worth a lot of things. I'm just a person who is willing to be friends. No some perfect example of what to be. I make mistakes, have regrets, and I learn from them. Just like anyone else.

If I've hurt ANY of you or anyone you know, I'm sorry. I really am. But I can't promise that it won't happen again. I have emotional issues sometimes. I get mad easily. And I have limits to my patience. Most importantly I have trust issues. I don't like to open up to people completely cuz a lot of times, it can end badly for either me or the other party involved.

To my readers, I hope you understand where I'm coming from. To my friends, I apologize for not coming clean. I pray that this can help clear up any notions as to why how I come off.
