im sorry
Hi, I think it’s about time I address this before it compounds and snowballs, generating animosity where there should be love. Like so many people on this platform I post things that I like and make me happy. Little sayings and motivational pieces to help get me through my darker days. At first when I had no followers, nobody paid any attention to me or what I was posting. I would go on Google images or Pinterest and pull pictures that made me smile. Soon after, people began to follow me and appreciate the affirmations I was sharing. For the first time, I felt that I wasn’t alone in my struggle. This motivated me to make my own content that was inspired by the things I saw on Google and other content creators on Tumblr. I didn’t even realized what I was doing in the beginning was wrong because spreading positivity and helping others is and has always been my mission. Before I knew it, the Cwote Community grew and I began getting messages regarding the posts I made back when I had no followers, I didn’t know what to do. I was distracted by the people I thought I was helping… I know that I’m not alone in this, people take content that doesn’t belong to them every day and I’ve been stolen from too, hundreds if not thousands of my pictures are posted without my consent all over the web. From positivity blogs and Instagram accounts, to Miley Cyrus’s social accounts. This doesn’t justify what I did back when I began this account, I am simply extending an olive branch of empathy.
I know this won’t fix the wrong I’ve done, but as a conciliation, I would like to make a shoutout post to anyone who feels i’ve wronged them. If you send me a message saying I stole from you, robbing your creativity, I will add you in the post, as well as take down your content. I am terribly sorry and hope that this will be a step in the right direction of giving back to those i’ve taken from. Something i’m learning is that when you have influence, you have a responsibility to do right by the people who can see you. Thank you all for caring enough to call me out on my bullshit. With your help, I will be better and we can continue spreading positivity to those like us; those who need it most.
xoxo, Cwote
i am guilty of this too and want to fill my account with my own original content from now on as well !!
