“Hi and thanks for being direct and honest about your feelings. People don’t do that enough these days. First I’d like to say that I am truly sorry I’ve made you feel this way. It’s a crazy error on my part to have made any of you feel like my love for you all has lessened even a little bit. So I would like to apologize for inflicting that feeling upon anyone in the fandom. However, I would like to say that my life and schedule has changed very drastically over the past year or so and it has become increasingly difficult for me to keep up with social media. Before the show aired and even while the first season was airing I didn’t have much going on in my life besides that, I didn’t even have much of a social life beyond the show. It was very easy to tweet you guys all the time and constantly be on Twitter or Instagram. Nowadays I’ve become very busy with rehearsals for other projects and I’ve met a lot of new people and made a lot of new friends through opportunities that have arisen through the show. My life right now has become very much about living in the moment and enjoying the time I have with people that are next to me rather than the people in my phone. While this can be misconstrued as no longer caring about those of you online, I would like to explicitly state that THAT IS NOT TRUE. I am consistently impressed and in awe of the dedication and support you all send my way on the daily. I am very regularly entertained by the edits, videos, jokes, and sass you all bring to the table. I am so in love with each and every one of you. It just so happens that I am extremely unable to devote 100% of my time to you all though I really do wish it was possible. I try my best, I really do, to take time to read all your tweets and reply to some and favorite others but sometimes I end up getting so caught up in other parts of my life that it gets hard to check notifications 24/7. Do NOT think for one second that I don’t appreciate everything you all have given me. I am awestruck almost every day when I think about the fact that so many of you are supporting the short little girl from Chicago who had big dreams that just happened to come true. Five years ago, I had little to no friends that I felt I could count on. Now, I am positive I have hundreds of them right here at my fingertips, which is really not something I deserve in the slightest. It is so impossible to properly express how much this community means to me and it truly saddens me to think some of you don’t know. If there is ever a time I seem distant or offline for an extended amount of time it is probably because I’m living my life the way I wished I could’ve a few years ago. So I can’t really apologize for enjoying the friends and experiences God has filled my life with, but I can apologize for making you all feel like you aren’t part of it. As time goes on and as the show and my life progresses, I can’t make the promise that I will be online more or be all that much more interactive, but I can promise you that my love and appreciation for every single one of you is unwavering and unending. Please know and try to remember that. And once again, from the bottom of my heart, to every Peep out there–thank you.
