NEW VIDEO FROM MAISEY AND LAUREN, THE RETURN OF MAISEY LEIGH?

the video started with maisey sitting down in front of the camera and smoothing down her hair before starting. "hey guys! so it's been awhile since i've uploaded on this channel but i'm back for good this time." she spent a lot of time thinking and cleaning her mind.

"todays going to be kind of different. usually it's lauren and i doing challenge videos but this time it's not your average 'maisey and lauren' upload." she smiled softly.

"as you can probably see lauren isn't exactly here today. i'm making this video alone, basically addressing everything that's going on recently." she tried keeping her hands still as she talked about the tragedy that she endured over the last few weeks.

"it's been hectic around here. with zach herron taking me to my prom. basically becoming best friends with the why don't we boys. my dad—" her eyes burned and tears threatened to leave her eyes but she refused to cry on camera. not unless they were tears of joy.

"give me a second." she walked off screen putting her hands over her eyes. "you can do this mais, you can. think of everyone who loves you." she wiped her tears, smiling at herself in the body mirror.

"i'm sorry. it's been really hard and i act so happy on the internet and to all my friends but it's hard to explain how i'm truly feeling." she brought her knees up to her face, hugging her legs.

"someone said to me once, "you may not be able to control every situation and it's outcome, but you can control your attitude and the way you deal with it" she took a deep breath. "and that really stuck with me. i refuse to lay around and mope all day while my friends pat my back and tell me it's gonna be okay." maisey ran her fingers through her hair again, a nervous habit of hers.

"i wanna be strong, i really do. for my mom, for lauren, for the boys, and especially for myself but it gets harder and harder and as the days go by i miss him even more than the last." she swallowed hard. "maybe things have to get worse before they can get better and maybe the best is yet to come. that's what i'm hoping for at least." the camera blurred and she stood up to refocus it.

"i'd also like to remind everyone that i've linked multiple trusty foundations for retired veterans and their families that you can donate to now. a little goes a long way." maisey gave the camera a big smile. a genuine smile, one she hadn't given in a long time.

"it feels so good to talk about things you know? my therapist said that making videos like this, even if i didn't upload them, would be a good coping strategy and she was right." a knock on her door interrupted her and she excused herself from the camera. grabbing the soup from her mother and setting it on her bed side table she returned to her rightful place in front of the camera.

"talking to the camera is like talking to someone except for instead of getting feedback it's kind of like it's just here to listen and sometimes that's all you need. someone to listen to what you have to say. it's definitely what i need."

"i'm not uploading the rest of the videos i have like i am this one. mostly because it's pretty much me sobbing in front of the camera for five minutes straight." she said sarcastically. that wasn't a lie, she had multiple other videos like this one. all of them ending in her crying her eyes out but those videos were for her and not anyone else.

"i can't resist the changes that i have to face now, all i can do is accept them and move on." maisey spoke from the heart and she just hoped everyone heard her.

"lauren has been a big help, she's kind of like my human diary. the one person i know won't turn their back on me." a few pictures of her and lauren popped up on the screen. "i can't thank her enough for everything she's done for me."

"i can count on her to tell me if the dress i like is ugly or if i'm making the wrong decisions. a girl really does need her best friend." the blonde laughed thinking of all the stupid memories her and lauren had made since they could walk.

"also to the why don't we boys for being so wonderful to lauren and i. we smile so much more because of you guys so we appreciate it more than you think."

"anyways, i don't wanna make this video like 10 minutes long. i just wanted to make my point, which i think i have. thank you guys for watching and i'll see you in next weeks video." maisey smiled at the camera one last time before the screen cut to black.
