Connor Franta

Hey sorry that I've not written anything for a pretty long time.

I'm here today to talk about Connor leaving O2L. I know everyone by now has heard about this. If you haven't then pretty much Connor has been feeling unhappy for past 6 months. He said that youtube has started to feel like a chore and not something he wanted to do. Therefore he decided to leave O2L. He's putting his happiness first.

I give props to him for doing this because it is something difficult to do. He doesn't like knowing that he is making us sad. Well all we can do is support him in this decision. He shouldn't have to feel that he has to poat a video for us. He should want to do that and be happy about it.

A lot of people are actually getting mad at him for not telling us that he was unhappy. They have even said that he probably lied about being glad to meet all of the fans thay he got to meet recently. At the youtube events and during the tour. Now that is really rude to say because he has always said that he loves meeting us. He loves seeing the people that have made it possible for him to do the things he is doing. Honestly, I bet we made his days better because we told him how much he meant to us. That probably made him feel better and happier. Yes, he gets that a lot but it's true. He does help people out and make their days better by just posting a new video each Monday. He didn't tell us because he didn't feel comfortable with telling us yet. He must've also been scared to even share that with us as well. We can't make this worse for him. Please just support him and don't cause drama or start rumors. He explained everything in his new video. Go check it out if you haven't. 

I was planning on writting about it yesterday but to be honest I just couldn't.  It was hard to think that he won't be with them anymore.  I'm glad that he is not leaving YouTube. Now that would be really hard to deall with. Honestly he was one of the only two guys from O2L that I related to the most. Don't get me wrong I love the others too but Connor and Sam were the ones I did/do relate to the most. So hearing that he was leaving really made me upset. I know they are still friends and I love that, it just made me sad that one of them was leaving. He was the one that I found the videos from O2L from. Either way he will always be part of the family that has been created from this fandom. I do respect him and his decisions on leaving. All I could ask for is for him to be happy again. I'm glad that he spoke up about it and didn't hide anymore because I think that that would've been worse.

Note to Connor- Thank you for making me smile each time you posted a video. I'm gonna being honest.  Yes, I did think about cutting for the longest of times. No doubting it. I was always so close to doing it but I started watching your videos and that thought just left. I've never had the urge to cut. I am glad that I haven't. I was/am like you. Hiding how I truly feel to people. I made my friends think for the longest of times that I was happy. I never truly was. Thank you again. I love you and hope you feel better.

Thanks for reading. Love you all. Bye.
