Oh my goodness. That actually made me tear up a little. She left expecting huge things for her youtube career, and, not that she doesn't have a youtube career, but I can't help but wonder if she knew then what she knows now if she would have still left her anchor position.norilangdon wrote:I can't believe I've never seen this before, but here's a video of Emily leaving the news:
This just solidified my opinion that leaving was a huge mistake.
Emily annoys me so much of the time with her hair awkwardness and her rust transition shades, haha, but it's difficult to fake a sadness over a coworker leaving. I think it's obvious she was loved and in a position that lent her far more support than she gets doing what she does now. Watching that clip just made it so much more obvious to me why she panders to her minions. She misses that connection, love, and support she got on a day to day basis at the station. She'll make the same eye look tutorial a million times over to get just an ounce of that feeling of being loved. It's sad really. And I don't mean that in a bitchy "omg gurl, you gotsta get a life" kind of way, my heart genuinely goes out to her more now than it ever did before.
I know that this is the trash a guru section, and you all know I'm usually right there with you! But it's refreshing to me to see her as more of a human and less of a robot. For me that clip just cemented in my mind that no matter what she says and how often she says it, she is lonely. I don't know, maybe I'm just super hormonal tonight, haha. But I feel for her.
