This is long but it is what it is. Dont expect any more emotional BS after this one. Iām done with the sappy nonsense š
This cruise meant more to me than I will ever be able to put into words.
Iāve never considered myself an āinfluencer.ā Iām just a girl who got online one day and started sharing silly little parts of cruise life. And honestlyā¦ I still donāt feel like an influencer. I feel like someone who somehow managed to turn strangers on the internet into family.
To see all of these people show up and SHOW OUT with love and support for us on this cruise absolutely shattered me in the best way possible. Not just loving us, but loving my family too. Watching people hug our parents, laugh with my sister, dance with my daughter, and cheer Trevor and I onā¦ I donāt even know how to explain what that felt like.
I got more hugs in these last few days than I think Iāve gotten in my entire life. Real hugs. The kind where people hold on a little tighter because they mean it. The kind that heal parts of you that you didnāt realize still hurt.
And I need every single one of you to know this: I SEE YOU.
I see you in the comments. I see your stories. I follow your journeys. I cheer for you from afar the same way you cheer for me. Some of you have shared the hardest parts of your lives with me, trusted me with your stories, laughed with me through chaos, and nowā¦ weāve made memories together in real life. That is something I will carry with me forever. You are not followers to me. You are family. Forever.
To my familyā¦
First, my sister. Lord help us all because she is an absolute disaster sometimes ā but thatās exactly why we love her so much. Having her beside me during all of this meant more than sheāll ever understand. She rolled up, worked hard when she didnāt have to, entertained what felt like the entire ship, and somehow made everyone feel like they had known her forever. But more than anything, she stood next to me proudly. Thereās something so special about having your sister believe in you out loud.
My daughter ā my sidekick. Yāall donāt get to see much of her because social media isnāt really her thing, but she was right there beside me through all of it. Talking to guests, making friends, dancing around the ship, and cheering her mom on every step of the way. Watching her see this side of my life and be proud of me honestly brought me to tears more times than I can count. I think she finally thinks Iām coolā¦ and I think that might be my favorite part of this entire experience.
Trevorā¦ I donāt even have the words. You are my biggest cheerleader in every single way. Thank you for believing in me and supporting every crazy idea I come up with. Thank you for never making me feel ātoo much.ā Youāve pulled a version of me out into the world that I didnāt even know existed. Every time you tell me youāre proud of me, it hits me straight in the heart. You never tell me to play small. You never tell me to slow down. Instead, you encourage me to keep growing, glowing, dreaming, and becoming more. Having someone love you the way you love me has changed me.
Mom and Dad (and bonus mom and bonus dad).. thank you for being the kind of parents who show up. The kind who cheer loudly, love endlessly, and support us through every wild adventure life throws our way. You two are the foundation of all of thisā¦ it was the shot squats that started it all. Trevor and I are so lucky to have you in our corner.
And to the crewā¦ and Kolbyā¦ yāall know exactly who you are. Thank you for helping make this unforgettable. Thank you for running all over the ship with us, for laughing until we cried, for crying until we laughed again, and for never once making any of this feel like a burden. The memories we made together will stay with me forever.
The laughs.
The moments.
The tears.
Godā¦ the tears.
I canāt even process any of it yet.
All I know is this: I needed every single one of you there. And every single one of you showed up without hesitation.
I will never, ever forget this.
I love you all more than words could ever explain.
