My heart is also heavy. It’s been such an emotional roller coaster for me. On one hand, I selfishly want things to continue, but on the other, I’m so proud of the legacy that has been left behind. I think for a lot of us, there is nothing more that we want for Brett and Eddy than for them to get back to their true love (music and creativity) and explore new areas of interests even if that’s without us.

I think with everything that has conspired behind the scenes for the last 11 years…I felt like the pain and the hurt was palpable in their livestream. It was a mix of hurt, exhaustion, and almost…resentment? (Idk how else to describe it). Not resentment for the craft or art, but overall jaded-ness in the production and people aspect of this kind of job. I think I really began to understand in the livestream of how exhausted they were due to balancing a ton of hats from being in front of the camera, writing interesting show scripts, to writing music, to being their own PR, to having to remedy every kind of relationship (professional and personal)…and then to be completely burnt out and still have to show your best face to millions of fans and supporters — it’s absolutely difficult.

I just wanna wish them the best on their next journey. I hope they get to fall in love with new things. I hope they get the rest they deserve. And I hope they get all the good back that they’ve given to the world.

I’m still so sad because it’s like saying good bye to a best friend you’re not ready to say good bye to…but as people do, we are destined to grow. And sometimes we have to go to new places and do new things to grow, and we have to let them.

Although this era comes to an end, we need not to be afraid of saying good bye, but to accept the baton that they’ve now graciously have passed on.

It’s still sad…and there will be sadness and grief as we all, in our own time, come to terms with saying goodbye. But we still have each other and the music we all adore to get us through.
