(She still ended up a winner,though.)
How did you watch the finale?I waffled back and forth the past week.
I havent watched the entire season my friends would send me clips I needed to see.
So, for the finale, I ended up going home.
I didnt want to be in Nashville and instead wanted to be with my family.
Ive dreaded and anticipated the finale.
Theres a relief in that its just over.
I couldnt guess how it was gonna go.
I ended up going out to dinner with my dad last night.
We put our phones away.
I decided it wasnt worth me having to hear it from his mouth.
I lived it the first time.
Its a Catch-22 for me.
I think about it from an artistic standpoint: Would I have done the same thing?
If I proposed to someone, would I do it with a guitar?
I dont know if it was the right call for him.
I wasnt shocked, Ill say.
Same with the proposal song.
Hopefully it was genuine!
Today was the first day where communication was opened.
It was hijacked from her.
That made me sad.
Thats been the extent of our communication, through news outlets, and its all been positive.
Im cheering her on.
It was nice to hear that she didnt blame me and wanted happiness for me.
Shes held her head so high.
Give her a redo season!
Has Jed bothered to reach out to you this week?No.
I havent heard or seen anything from him since.
Are you expecting him to contact you?I dont expect him to.
Honestly, its one of those things where you make the decision to move on.
Thats where I am.
But regarding this relationship, this is where its at.
Take this and learn from it.
I dont think a conversation or apology from him would do anything.
I can only hope his apologies were genuine and honest and that he meant everything.
Hehadto have felt strongly for her.
Hehadto have felt apologetic.
My hope is that, yes, his words were sincere.
If Ive learned anything throughout this entire process, there are so many lessons to be learned.
I would hope hes able to gain a little perspective.
So, well see.
