00:00I did feel very abandoned by Kyle and there was a lot of things that were left unsaid from the reunion and I was struggling with that because I really care about her and I considered her like family, but I can't say that and mean it and not feel it and not feel like it's reciprocated.
00:23And there were a lot of things over a sustained period of time that led me to feel that way.
00:32And I felt like in order to truly be able to mend fences, to be able to come together, to be able to rectify whatever issues we were having.
00:43I wanted to have very honest conversations where we were both able to put real things on the table and say, OK, you know, this doesn't feel right.
00:55This is not what friends do. What has been going on the last two years? Because it's very different to the friendship that we used to have.
01:07And I don't know how we got here, but if we're not able to truly be very open and be very vulnerable and honest, then we're never going to be able to get to that friendship that I cherished, you know, and was hoping that we could get back to.
01:24So it's a journey for sure. But, you know, you do see the journey in the season. I always say there's always a path forward for me.
01:33I think it takes two people. I think if you ask Kyle, she certainly would say that, you know, she'd like the same thing.
01:43I think there there's a lot of love and we both care about one another. But, you know, we I don't know whether it is a matter of redefining your friendship or it's a matter of, you know, I believe you can get through anything as friends.
01:58Truly, if you are good friends and you care about one another, friends, family, you can get through anything, even even the worst of things.
02:07You know, there's work to do and two people both need to to feel it and want it. And but I think you can. And I think that it for Kyle and I, it was a matter of finding out whether or not we both wanted to take that journey.
02:23You know, I don't know. I felt the same way. I also felt, you know, there was a strange kind of distance, you know, that it wasn't initiated from me.
02:42And, you know, when people are going through things in their lives, I'm the type of person where I like to allow them. I don't want to, you know, be on top of them. They're dealing with things. So, you know, give grace. And I feel like that's what I did with Kyle until it got to a point where it it was more strange than it was.
03:04It felt more personal than it was what she was going through. And it felt like I was on the outside, you know, and not in her inner circle, whereas I was that person, you know, at one point. And I don't know what had happened. She didn't share with me what had happened to, you know, sort of put me on the outside.
03:26Now, Kyle, you know, in our friendship and there's there's a bunch of things and I don't really want to get into them, you know, all of them, because you'll see that in the season, you know, I'm very I'm very vocal about the things that, you know, that were not OK and things that transpired.
03:44But, you know, we are she's been going through she's a little bit ahead of me. So she's been going through things, you know, for a while and it's always difficult. You know, I would I would have loved to have been there for her from the beginning. I was I tried. I certainly am and would be.
04:04But I do think that in a real friendship, you need to be able to feel like you're getting the same that you're putting in.
