Thank you Buck!

To @damuriajashi, the shame you’re probably feeling will wash over and end someday. It’s okay. Everyone’s wrong sometimes. It’s probably a hard pill to swallow to realize you were just dismissing data you didn’t like, but accepting this and learning from it will help you become a better person. Best wishes on your recovery!
