"Welcome Niola!" Freya Forbes announced. I was sitting on the couch opposite her on her podcast studio.
"Hiii! I'm really nervous"
"You don't have to be, but I see you brought emotional support"
"Yeah Matt and Eli behind the scenes for now"
We laughed.
"How have you been though"
"I've been great! Mimi and I have so much fun stuff planned now that we've moved and everything"
"I've seen so much about you and Bellamy online recently"
"Oh? Good or bad" I laughed a little.
"A bit of both but it happens to every influencer nowadays"
"Yea no I agree"
"Overall though I know you and Bellamy have talked about how you guys blew up so fast, with the praise and hate do you have any specific ways you deal with it all?"
"In all honesty we don't really have anything. I think some things that we've done get too much praise, not that it's necessarily a bad thing you know"
"I agree fully some things just get too much attention and it's like you didn't even do anything that great for the praise it got"
"Yea. For our fans though, I love them all obviously"
"Were you ever in a moment where you didn't like the attention you and Bellamy got?"
"I used to be afraid when people started coming up to me because I was like shocked that people would like us that much but after a while I got better with it."
"What about the other side of praise, hate"
"I don't think we do anything about it honestly"
"Are you the type to just never look at comments or-?"
"No I chronically look through them all"
"That's definitely not a good habit"
"Yea Mimi yells at me all the time about it"

"So how long have you and Bellamy known each other?"
"Our parents were friends before our moms were even pregnant with us so literally since we were born. I've always been with Mimi. A lot of people expect us to have a sister relationship where we argue a lot-"
"Yea that was what my next question was. Do you guys ever argue? Or what's the best way to describe your relationship?"
"We never argue ever but if we do it's genuinely because the other needs to hear whatever it is you're arguing you know?"
"Oh wait awww that's cute. You guys are literally best friend goals"
"That's my twin don't play!"

"Now I'm sure plenty of people ask but I'm equally as curious about how you and Matt happened because you've said before you guys never spoke until late high school but you've been friends with his brother, Nick, since middle school?"
"Yea me, Nick and Mimi have been our trio since eighth grade and I know what you mean. I would go over to Nick's house all the time and I was of course aware of Matt and Chris from their birthday parties or if I went to just hangout but we literally never spoke"
"No wave or anything?"
"Sometimes, but very rare. We kind of just pretended the other didn't exist which I guess since Mimi and I were like strictly Nick's friends it'd be rude if I went over and talked to his brothers- I don't know it was a whole weird thing"
"Isn't that the invisible string theory?"
"I've been hearing a lot about the theory now that you mentioned that but I don't understand what it is exactly"
"Let me Google that"
"Please do"
"At its core, the Invisible String Theory suggest we are all linked to those we love, regardless of physical distance or separation by a powerful bond. That's what Google said but they really over complicated it-"
"A lot of unnecessary wording but I get the gist. That's cute though aww"

"While on the topic of relationships.. does it ever get hard having a public relationship?"
"This is on topic I swear-"
"No girl you're fine"
"I remember being younger and seeing break up videos on my feed and they would always have the same reason, the 'oh it's hard to balance work and your relationship' or how it's 'hard to separate your work life from your relationship' and I always thought that's just such bullshit"
"No same oh my gosh it's like when you're younger and curious it's like 'oh you're just lying so you don't have to give the real reason"
"Exactly what I thought like one of you definitely cheated... But no now that I'm living it I totally understand and it makes so much sense"
"What are like examples for it being hard to balance?"
"Obviously, like many other couples, you aren't constantly coupley or just in the mood for affection so if we're filming, or if we're live, or whatever we're doing, fans expect that constant affection because the only time they see you is when we're in front of a camera, and if that isn't delivered they make assumptions and stuff."
"Right and it's like you live that life with your partner so the constant affection on camera won't always be there. OH like that Deaf, Blind, Mute video you guys did a few months ago!"
"Perfect example. I saw so many clips about it assuming we had a big fight because of something I did or said. When in reality, there was nothing wrong, I was already upset about something else previous to filming, it had nothing to do with Matt at all"
"To add onto that, obviously this doesn't apply to you guys but for couples in general, when you're so close to a person, naturally, you tend to disagree on things."
"Exactly!"
"Now for the internet, do you guys avoid- because you're still young and everything- do you avoid certain hangouts because of the possibility of a fan?"
"Definitely not. I think posting stuff is way different"
"Do you avoid posting with people?"
"I think for certain posts like a TikTok or a certain story on Instagram we might think twice about. Other than that, though it doesn't really bother us"
"Yea like you guys are very much true to yourselves"
"Yea exactly"
