Can I still use this essay?

Probably shouldn’t still be using this site, as clearly there are policy issues I didn’t realize, but whatever.

A few days ago I basically posted on a different forum like the entirety of my common app essay. Idk I wanted to get feedback on it. I didn’t realize it could be plagiarized. But I still like the essay, and I think I could edit it, change it up a bit, and have a good essay. I also kind of doubt anyone would plagiarize it. I think the edits will end up being significant anyways. Is it safe to do this, or do I need to write an entirely new essay so I don’t risk getting flagged for plagiarism?
