Transcript

I don't think I've ever been this embarrassed to make a video, but I'll rip the band-aid off because I don't think I have the balls to tell this to all of the people that I know, to the face. And after we watch this video, please don't talk to me about it in real life. At least not for a while. So most of you probably know I was a month away from my wedding, less than a month away from my wedding right now. And unfortunately, there's not going to be a wedding anymore. There's not going to be a marriage anymore. Me and my fiance, we broke up. So there's that. And, you know, I've had a couple days to process everything, but just like today, it's really hitting. It's my first time alone in the apartment after the whole thing. And I'm taking it a lot better than I thought I was. We ended everything on really good terms, which is something that I'm glad and grateful for. I would like to say it was mutual, but not really. But I don't think I need to give any details, at least not for now. Still, we met when we were 15, so it's a big change for me. I'm gonna have to get used to that. I'm gonna have to figure out my life because I was already expecting to have a husband in a month from now. So that's gonna be interesting. But I just wanted to give a little life update so that if I'm not talking about a wedding, if I never post about a wedding, people know why. And also the people that know me will know. And also the people that know me, now maybe know a little bit of what happened without me having to formally tell you. And I don't want to talk about it. I guess life happens. And I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and God has better plans for us than we ever could imagine or we ever could plan for ourselves. So, I'm just trusting and putting everything in God's hands. And I know it will be better. It will probably be really hard first. And it is right now. But I know it will get better. I still love him so much. He loves me so much. But for whatever reason, things just couldn't happen right now. So.
