I set up the camera and went over what I was going to say in my head, after getting a little emotional I pressed record.

"Hey guys, so as you can tell by the title of this video- I'm going to be explaining what's been happening in my life. This video is completely raw and uncut, I want to cut the crap and be 100% honest with all of you, because it's what you deserve. I've had a lot of questions asking why I've been home for over a month now, am I still with Jake, what's going on..." I took a deep breath. "I'm back home for at least another couple of weeks, because it's what's best for my mental health right now. It's what I need to be okay within myself, and to be happy again. As for Jake and I..." Tears filled my eyes as my throat went dry, but I pushed through it. "We are no longer together, we were together for 4 years and met when we were both extremely young and in hindsight we didn't really consider this looking at the bigger picture. There was no cheating, no scandal, no she did this, he did that. We very simply grew apart as heartbreaking as that is. We both had very busy schedules and despite the fact our careers are almost identical and that we live in the same house- we had no quality time. It became hard to communicate about our feelings to one another and we struggled to keep the spark fresh and the connection strong. I still love Jake and I do believe in the future, once things have calmed down, we can be together again. We both adore each other and I feel like this break-up could actually be a good thing a couple years down the line." I paused to gather my thoughts again.

"I am still in Team 10 and will be returning to L.A in the next few weeks, I'll keep you guys updated on that front. There's no malicious feelings or intent for anyone to be hurt. We really truly just grew apart and I hope you can all understand that after 4 years together we may need some time to just breathe."

I did my outro and ended the video, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
