00:00All I can really say is that I really want people to learn from my mistake.
00:11I do have a lot of people reiterating the fact that it was a stupid decision, it was
00:20a poor choice, but I think it's really important to, you know, I've been trying to stay positive,
00:27I think it's important to stay positive about the entire thing, and, you know, I do have
00:32a really good support system, friends and family, everybody just kind of telling me
00:38to use this opportunity to send a positive message out there, like, I was dealing with
00:46a lot of mental health issues, which led me to spiral, you know, and spiraling doesn't
00:51always look like, you know, hiding out in your room and being depressed, and, you know,
00:55sometimes it looks like being a party girl and having the time of your life, and, you
01:00know, then you end up going too fast, and you just lose control, so, but I'm doing pretty
01:09good in regards to all of that, like I said, I just really want people to know that what
01:16I did is not okay, and that there needs to be a lot more awareness, and there needs to
01:23be a reality check for a lot of people, I want to, like, use my platforms to basically
01:32just create awareness around the situation, I think mental health has a huge deal to do
01:39with this, I've been dealing with mental health issues since I was, like, 12 years old, and
01:45like I said before, you know, it doesn't always look like, you know, a sad person wearing
01:50all black, you know, yeah, just basically, just basically create more awareness around
01:57all those things, I feel like if I don't use it for good, I, it'll feel like a waste, it'll
02:04feel like a wasted opportunity, you know, like, there's gonna, there's always gonna
02:09be those people that are like, oh, weren't you the girl that got, that tried to make
02:13out with a cop, I'm like, yeah, and I learned a lot from it, and, you know, it impacted
02:22me on a huge scale, and it changed, it changed my life.
