CTFxC are getting a divorce

Mette

Since mostly non-Danish-speaking people know of CTFxC I will be writing this in English. 

This past Tuesday was a weird day for me. April 8th. I was just scrolling through Twitter and I noticed Charles and Alli Trippy, the daily-vlogging Youtube couple, had recieved some very weird tweets from friends and fans. I went onto their Youtube channel and saw Charles had posted a video called "We need to talk...". I took a deep breath and pressed play. In the video he states that things will be a little different now, because Alli and him decided to file for a divorce. They've supposedly been arguing quite a lot the past few months. 

I was in shock. That's the truth. I really felt like my entire world was changing before my eyes. I thought it was just my internet world changing, but the entire evening and the days after that were really odd. Something was just off. I've watched them get engaged, plan their wedding, get married, talk about kids, be happy, just be silly, play with their dogs, not having a care in the world. Just overall happiness. It kinda messed up my perspective on life in several ways. First of all, it shows that even though daily vloggers share their lives, you actually don't truly know them - you only get to know what they choose to let you know. If you've been following our blog, you know that I love the Shaytards (a family on Youtube that has been vlogging for over 5 years). This just made me realize that even though I feel like I know them, there may be many things that I do not know - and that their vlogs are real life and not staged, but they still choose what they put into the videos. This was kind of a wake-up call for me. Even though I can't really shake off the feeling that I know the Shaytards like my own family ;) 

But mostly, this split up scared me. To me, there are two perfect couples in the world: Shay Carl and Colette from the Shaytards and then Charles and Alli from CTFxC. They just fit together so well. To me these couples represent true love. Or represented. So maybe there is no such thing as true and eternal love. But then again.. Even though it's so sad that they're going to split up, maybe they can still be rolemodels for true love. Because they had true love. It really seemed like, for a long time, they couldn't be happier. Maybe we should just focus on being happy - even if it's not with who you thought it would be. 

Best of luck to both Charles and Alli. None of us really know why they split up. But that's none of our business, anyway. We must just remember the great (or bad) life moments CTFxC brought us.
