Hey everyone,

I just want to talk about something that's been on my mind. I'm a fan of The Bachelor, and the season with Colton Underwood. I remember watching it back in 2019. Colton, with his charming smile and kind heart, seemed different from a lot of the bachelors before him. He wasn't just another guy, he seemed genuinely in search of someone to share his life with. And then there was Cassie Randolph. They had this chemistry that you could feel even through the screen.
When Colton and Cassie finally got together, it was like a fairytale ending. I was so happy for them. They looked perfect together, and it felt like they were genuinely in love. Every time they posted a picture together or shared a bit of their life on social media, it brought a smile to my face.
But then 2020 came and with it the news of their breakup. I was heartbroken. I know it might sound silly, getting so attached to a couple from a TV show, but it's more than that. It's about believing in love, in happy endings, and in finding the one.
Their story, even though it didn't end the way I hoped, taught that love is not always perfect and doesn't always follow the way we have in our minds. It's messy, unpredictable, and sometimes, it doesn't work out, even when you want it to more than anything
It also showed me that it's okay to hold onto your standards and not settle for anything less than what you deserve. Cassie knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to stand by her decisions, and Colton showed true vulnerability, a quality I deeply admire and look for in a partner. They both taught me that being true to yourself is the most important thing in a relationship.
I was upset about Colton and Cassie's breakup, it hasn't discouraged me. Instead, it's given me a more realistic perspective on relationships. Love isn't always about fairy tale endings. It’s about two people, with all their flaws and differences, trying to make it work. And sometimes, they can't, and that's okay.
To all the romantics out there, keep believing in love. And to Colton and Cassie, wherever they are now, I wish them all the happiness in the world. They both deserve it, just like we all do. Sending lots of love and positive vibes to everyone reading this.
XOXO
