The real Izze, please read.
Hello my name is Izze, many of you have never talked to me, never met me, never seen me, and have only even heard of me for a mere couple of days. Tonight I am in tears because everywhere I go on here attempting to make friends I am shunned and kicked out like I an unwanted. I can many rumors that have been made slandering my name. But I just want to tell my story, the truth. When I was new here my first day I was asked why I had so many rare pins and was only a newbie. When I was six years old my dad died of brain cancer I was very close to him and the little girl to would dance hand in hand with him in front of the crackling fire place or hold his hand during scary scenes of a movie. After he died my mom was in ruins and resorted to alchohol abuse and various narcotics. When I was 9 she re married a man who hit me, I still remember some nights his beat red face staring down at me as I pretended to have fallen asleep. I was in foster care in a group home until I was 12. When one day my mom came to get me. I hated her. She was everything that seemed wrong in my eyes but they told me she was sober and had been in rehab and my step dad was gone too. I remember seeing her that day, her wavy blond hear gently prancing in the wind glimmering with cleanliness and shocking rarity. In her hand she held a small object a glittery little princess pin. I had never had or touched anything so beautiful. From the time I was 12 to the time I went to college it became our thing, collecting pins and sorting them into boxes. A year ago my mom died and I was left with over one thousand pins. Just recently I hav started to plow through them and reserve her favorites only, like ones with sentimental value. That is why I have all my traders.
To address a second and very hurtful rumor: that I am a scammer. I was new here with the stupid bear and merida pin and someone on here messaged me asking if I'd trade. I had traded a pin two days before with someone else only to get very fake pins. I was in a horrible mood because an hour earlier my dog had to be put down due to kidney failiure. The person was VERY pushy and I had a short temper. I was told by a friend (no member on here) they were worth an astronomical amount of money I didn't know better and told that amount thinking it was reasonable, I had NOOOOOO idea how much these go for. I was responded with hostility and being called a scammer. I truly didn't even no better on top of that I got threats and blackmailing notices. I was treated like the black plague on here for not knowing better. And all that was going through my mind is "how can all these nasty people participate in the one thing that brought my mom and I joy". This people who were passive aggressive, gossipy, petty, self centered, obsessed. I chose to move beyond and ignore it, why? Because I have found that drama and meanness brings pain, a pain that jabs people deep into parts of these that should be left untouched a pain that guts from the inside out.
However everything blew up tonight when another innocent person became a victim of this pain. Many of you have already heard of Becca's auction thread. I wanted her pin because I GAVE MINE AWAY for free to a foster child who loves Disney and pins with no money and I wanted a replacement. I was accused of overbidding. To me these pins don't have a value. Brave to me is symbol of the deepest feat of humanity something so precious that few I'll ever truly obtain it. I don't care the value of what I offered they have little to no true value to me. I was accused of being co horts with Becca by a very peevish member. I have never met Becca we have a mutual friend but that is it. I am stunned you all would jump on her like this. She sold one of her brave pins for only 50$ to a member who really wanted it and makes tons of graphics for members on here free. I can handle being tortured through your words but doing that to another innocent person on my account is too far.
Anyway, some of you will now post more messages slandering me or pointing out my flaws. Great! If that's what makes you fell good about yourself or makes you feel like your a hero go for it but I'm done. I have no interest in people trying to tear me down because everyone is a make up of their values and I will never give myself away for other to write my story.
