sorry :)

[Guest]

hey everyone its drew magnolia. i have grown a lot in the years since my rant and wanted to apologize. I was re-reading the post and I think Velvet summed it up best. I was young and angry and said some really hateful things. In hindsight, almost ALL of the men I saw were extremely kind and I did truly enjoy my job. My sobriety wasn't what changed my outlook on escorting, it was getting in to a relationship. Anyways, I'm still not coming back to escorting (I'm sure Boink would never let me live that down anyways lol) but I wanted to say sorry to all the men and women who I got to know in this industry. I made some of my best girlfriends in this business and I do feel that I am wiser for the things I've gone through. To all the men I saw who treated me right (I'm sure you know who you are) I am really sorry and I hope you know that the things I said were said when I was still in a pretty dark point in my life.

Peace

Drew

You have nothing to apologize for but it is gracious that you have.

[Guest]

Good for you! I am happy to hear that you are in a better place. You deserve it. I wish you all the best in all that you do and all that comes your way.

Very well stated Drew and as they say - things happen and are forgotten! Apologies aside - it is great hearing from you! You are awesome and missed by many! I so glad things are working out in your life!

Drew,

I had to go back and look to see what I posted. That was almost 2 years ago. LOL .

I think it takes a big person to come on a forum and apologize for something you said so long ago. I knew at that time that it wasn't how you really felt. I knew you were feeling some pain in your heart at that time. We can't always take away the past but we can grow from it.

I really wish you the best of luck in your retirement. Moving forward is always a wonderful thing! I know. My best advice is to keep going and keep that smile on your face. You made your apology. Don't look back. Don't dwell on the past. Just have a great future. Be happy. You are so young and you have loads of adventure, love, and life to live.

Good luck in your future pretty girl!

I remember that rant and it must have truly come from a dark place. I am glad to hear that you have healed since that time in your life. Best of luck moving forward!

Hi Drew,

I only met you once. However, I remember that thread. In particular, I remember that some of the responses to your post irritated me, so I made an angry post also (directed not to you but to some of the responses).

I guess you felt a need to come back and post an apology, because the thought of the harsh comments you made then was weighing on you, even after all this time. That shows you have a good heart Be well.

Interesting thread.

The original post was from the heart and filled with malice. Just like a drunk with the courage to say what they really feel. They are sorry too, sorry they said it not sorry they felt it.

If this apology is part of a recovery program then good luck and more power to you.

If this apology is just because or a prelude to a come back. Then 2Big is right.

I am in a 12 step program and part of my recovery entails clearing the wreckage of my past. And in the years since drew quit I did come back under a pseudo name during a relapse. This is not about coming back, it is about doing the right thing. The things I said were hurtful and that's not the person I really am. I had many resentments which led to my actions and today I'm trying to clean up my side of the street.

This one has been open long enough for everyone to have their say.
