    “Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry,” the caption began.

    “Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable,” the message added. “May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace🌷.
