I want to come out and say instead of me being already late to confess this and hide it as my career is dying.

Here's my truth and confession that I want to get out of my chest cause it seriously is starting to hurt me and felt really guilty about this...

I am not at all 22 years old.

I am 17 years old as I'm writing this.

I know that some of my past actions and choices caused confusion and disappointment. I take responsibility for that and want to rebuild trust over time through my actions, not just my words.

(NOTE: Originally this statement was going to delve into more lengthy personal details that could reveal too much about my identity and privacy matters, so to keep me safe and not vulnerable, I filtered this statement after some discussion with my partner and friends, so I'm sorry if this is a little more vague.)

I know my trust is low. I just hope I can rebuild it with you guys. I really don't want to lose my career and didn't want to lose especially my friends either cause I genuinely loved them and really cared for them.

I really want to be given a chance here and be forgiven for pretending to be older.

I really had to get this out my chest, I know not many of you will believe that I'm that young but I am.. if there is any safe way for me to prove myself, I could try it.

I just didn't want you guys at the very least to be left out that I did something at an age that I haven't reached, I am really sorry.

What matters now is that I've learned from it and I'm committed to growing and being truthful moving forward.

Thank you to those who've supported or tried to understand me.
