So recently, it was announced that two of my FAVORITE people in the entire world were separating. Charles and Alli of the youtube channel CtfxC separated. I woke up to my phone being blown up by twitter, with people freaking out. I didn't know at the time what was going on until I saw the vlog that Charles had posted for that day.
Was I shocked? Yes. Was I upset? Yes. Did I freak out? No. I understood. There are things in life that I learned early on that others were either learning for the first time or relearning do to the situation happening by what was one of the most inspirational couples on the internet.
I don't want to say that I'm an expert, because I'm not. I'm never going to be an expert. BUT I do want to say a few things.
1. life happens. Shit gets real sometimes and you sort of have to take a step back, evaluate the situation, and take it one day at a time.
2. Love isn't always guaranteed to last. People fall in love and out of love all the time. Sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. Some people are lucky enough to where they get to go through their adult lives married and in love with the same person that they met in high school or college. Some aren't. For those who aren't that lucky, we have to show them our love and support to help get them through the difficult times, so they know they aren't alone.
3. People hurt other people. We CtfxCers have a lot of questions as to what may have led to it. Did someone hurt the other person somehow? What happened? It's not our place to ask though because we are viewers and we aren't part of their lives like their family and friends. But, still, we just have to remind BOTH of them that we are all here for them and maybe that idea will comfort them a bit.
TO THE PEOPLE HATING ON ALLI! please stop it! She doesn't deserve the hate. We don't know what happened and therefore we cannot automatically blame her and back Charles. Alli got so much hate in the last few years on the vlogs anyways, She doesn't deserve more. Plus Charles has asked us that we are respectful towards her as well because it's hard on her as well. We can't forget that she has feelings and she may be just as upset and hurt and angry at the situation as Charles is. Do not form 'Team Charles' and 'Team Alli'. It's not fair to either of them.
To Charles and Alli: If you are reading this and had been reading thus far I want you to know that you are both very loved and that no matter what, you have the people of the world behind you. Together you guys created a brilliant army of fans/viewers who would move the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth for BOTH of you. I love you both so very very much and wanted to remind you guys that this is what life is about: getting through the hard parts so you can enjoy the brilliant parts. And remember that a dear friend of yours once wrote this in a very amazing novel: "You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have some say in who hurts you."
