This just has to say a lot about me. Being who you I am has been the most difficult journey I had for the past eight years.
The years before the eight years had been time for me to have fun as I would say which I did. The most incredible thing I would say is that I never failed until I gained admission into the University, I thought I knew myself, apparently, I didn't.
I failed woefully because I was been too many persons trying to be like someone else, which brought failure both academically and ultimately psychologically.
I still see myself as that guy that plagiarized.
I started an autoblog, autohage before I met have and already had started plagiarizing in my autoblog then brought the same technique to hive.
Hive watchers brought all post I plagiarized with their sources and I was blacklisted, luckily not permanently.
What a time I had, I understand this.
Going back to being myself, I just had to fully accept my flaws which was making me prefer someone over me and paying the consequences.
I actually put myself first now and that has been the best because I later have a streak of success.
Now, I'm done with schooling because of my decisions which is ultimately accepting myself.
Anytime Vikings crosses my mind, Ragnar Lothbrok also does.
The journey continues.
It's big of you to admit and acknowledge your plagiarism of the past. It can be turned around, bad behaviour, but it's easier to do the right thing from the outset.
I definitely agree with you because it was very detrimental to me but I like to use that as a yardstick moving forward.
