Comments, Questions, or Concerns?

Thoughts? On any of this?

I don't know.

I've been expecting this for a while, the only question to me was when it was going to happen.

I want to say a few things about this departure.

I don't agree with the way Camila (or her management whoever was responsible for it) has handled her solo projects. I have not had the most respect for Camila the past year or so. I love the girl to death, but I disagree with a lot of her choices. However, her talent and creativity should be expressed and has been expressed in the past, and it is much appreciated.

That being said, I feel like this is a new chapter in my life. I have said it many times and I will keep reminding myself and you all that Fifth Harmony has a huge effect on my life. I have devoted a lot of time to their music, their social lives, their videos, etc. I have been following them since they were put together on X-Factor, so believe me when I say that Camila leaving the group is like the end of an era in my life.

It sounds dramatic.

These five girls were put together, thus they made music, bonds, and memories that have added and interest to my life. They have created music together and performed it, and I bought every single second of it. They have made special bonds with one another, and I have looked at those relationships as beautiful happenings and experiences that I can relate to, and also that I wish I had in some ways. They have preached and fought and worked their asses off, and I have looked at their work on and off the stage, related to and unrelated to their music, and I found inspiration in them. They have shown many parts of themselves- beautiful, broken, scarred, strong- some that I can relate to, others that I cannot relate to, and those that I have tried to learn from and apply to my own life. They each introduced me to new ideas about life, to new artists and types of music, to musical information I had no knowledge of, and to a better more detailed look at different cultures and backgrounds. They have taught me, most importantly, that I can look at five different girls, and find relations in each of them that I see in myself. I could easily distinguish my differences from other women before, what they have and what I don't, but now I look at other women and see myself in them, and not focus so much on what separates me from them. They have encouraged me in many ways to keep fighting for things I want and to appreciate the things I need. They have mirrored my own life of being a woman and what it is like to live as such. They put the realization into my life that we do face struggles as women, and we can overcome them. They literally taught me that being there for fellow woman and lifting them up is essential to this experience.

So yes, the past four years have given me memories and love for five girls that make great music together. Camila was a huge part of that. I can't thank every single one of them enough for that. The past four years that involve me being a fan of Fifth Harmony and taking part in their journey and their lives cannot be taken away from me. Camila leaving the group is a huge change, no matter what happened. That's the thing as well, we see things on camera and social media, but I know for sure we have not seen the whole story. We do not not for sure what goes on behind closed doors to add tension between them. Therefore, I respect both Camila's decision to leave the group, and the other four girls' decisions to stay together and continue making music between them. I will continue listening to Camila's music as well as the remaining members of Fifth Harmony's upcoming works.

I hope they all have great lives ahead because they have all worked very hard in an industry and against a public who does not treat successful women the way they should be.

My love for Fifth Harmony will continue. My bond between you guys will continue, because we have all related in many ways, but mainly in the fact that Fifth Harmony has impacted our lives tremendously. I want to thank you guys for sharing this experience with me. Thank you for understanding why I love a girl group so much and why I respect these five women so much. They were a group of five, now four, but they were not the only ones involved in fifth harmony, they made sure each and every one of us was included in their experiences and their journey. They made sure Fifth Harmony was made up of five harmonically involved singers, with millions of us lifting them up, and them returning the favor. They made sure they were not the only members of their experience and growth.

With all that in mind, what are you guys' thoughts?

I mean come on we all knew this day would come, but it's actually here, so what now?

Love you.
