I've made a big mistake forgetting the responsibility to repay you with actions worthy of love I've received.”
The post further reads, “On the night of August 6th, I made the mistake of driving to India on an electric scooter after drinking. Also, I'm sorry for the confusion caused for the first apology I hastily posted on the 7th. I should have thought more deeply and been careful, but I couldn't. It's all my fault. My carelessness is giving everyone who cares about me a hard time. I will try not to do anything wrong again and live with repentance.”
