"its not we - its just me..." as time passes you will first feel like you're drowning as the waves of your own misery crash over you. you won't even see the waves coming - it could be a picture or an inside joke that triggers one and it will hit you with more weight than you can bear. but in the pauses between storms, you will have time alone to heal and become stronger if you focus on what matters now more than ever - become the man you have always wanted to be. work on becoming that which you have always admired and aspired to be but never gave yourself the love and attention that only you can give yourself. and i don't mean a career or money or societal standards - you may not even know who you want to be, and if that's the case, then you needed this pain more than ever. to learn who you are. if you focus on yourself this way you will learn much about yourself - you will learn that you can withstand the waves, and the waves will slowly become smaller, until you see them a mile off and they don't even worry you. you will find that, oddly enough, you miss the waves - you miss the storm, the struggle. this struggle is only the struggle to be loved, to be wanted by someone, an innate biological desire that all humans have. but this struggle is malleable, and the love you seek and need is within you. everyone will tell you "to first love someone else you must first love yourself", but they don't tell you what that means (often because they likely don't truly know themselves). loving yourself is the ultimate struggle, and just like a relationship with another person, it must be worked on every single day. and so one day, when you wash up on a sandy beach in a daze, exhausted from surviving the abyss that tried to swallow you into its darkened depths, you will feel the tides rolling in, but instead of the water hitting you like a bag of rocks - you will be the rock, and the waves will wash against you, but there still you will remain. and it is in this moment that you will know that it was never "we", it was always "just me". you were born into this world alone and alone you will leave it. and that's OK. and if you focus on becoming who you were meant to be, one day you will meet someone else who has learned this too. and together you both will be two "me's" walking along a sunset beach, alone together.

It's early spring of 11th grade in 2021, I was going through a rough time when I was trying to get with someone, long story short it didn't work out and I was in a deep hole of depression, every breakfast break we had at school I would pull up twitch and watch Nick and Malena, rather it was cooking streams or fifa streams (at the time) it helped me more than ever, and last night when I saw the tweet about them splitting up it was heart breaking, sad to see her go, but at the end of the day, it is probably best for both of you, rather it is mentally or physically either way, thank you for bringing joy back into my life after a very rough period in school, I now have a job and saving up cash to move forward in my life, so I guess in a way you Nick and Malena, you saved my life, Thank you, nmpL.

[@elliothavik4697]

I know no one will see this but I’m personally going trough the same. 5 year relationship ended just like that. I don’t even know what to do anymore, with anything. I’m just empty. Breaking up with someone you love is the most painful thing to experience. But am somehow happy i can relate to someone, even tho I don’t know you at all. Thank you Nick and let’s get trough this together❤❤ stuck in life, push forward is everything

[@bowlinbob6]

I have never been in a relationship or even a fling but I came close once and it messed me up losing the opportunity. But I imagine the way I felt is similar, albeit far less than what you feel. I didn't turn on my computer for weeks, didn't even feel like watching TV, just dead inside wondering what the point was. If that sounds similar I guess my advice is that time heals all wounds. Force yourself to hang out with friends, go for walks, nap, binge watch seasons/series of shows. Anything to get your mind off it, and distractions to speed up time. Soon you won't be thinking about it all day, more time will pass and you'll think about it less and less. Few months to a year you won't feel anything about it other than maybe annoyed by the waste of time. Don't torture yourself looking on social media or asking about what the other person is up to. If you're lonely, maybe get a dog or cat for something to come home to and that depends on you. If I didn't have my cat, personally it would've been so much harder for me to get over my little drama. You said relationship, so I'm assuming not marriage? For a silver lining, be thankful it wasn't a divorce, or kids involved (hopefully).

Same thing happened to me two months ago. I live with a friend now. Its a terrible pain to just have everything gone in a snap, even when you're trying to work on things. I'm doing better now but every time i think about everything we shared being gone it stings and the pain comes back. It lasts less every time. I know what you're feeling, i now what nicks feeling. They're especially hard when its mutual like Nicks and mine. Not sure about yours. Glad you're doing okay. Shits rough. take care of yourself.

[@CrossOutBryce]

Going through the same thing. Some days are harder than others, but you try to move forward, even if you don't feel like you can move on.

[@rvh1020]

Damn havent checked the channel in about 2-3 years and atopped watching streams. But damn I used to watch all the time. Also had a breakup then, this brought back that same feeling I had than. Its really sad but its sometimes messecary.

I'm gonna be making a post when the camp Knut shirt comes in but I just wanted to let you know that last years camp you were one of the biggest motivations for me to start losing weight and from that point till this years camp I went from 300lb+ to 180lb working out eating good consistently. One of the biggest factors in changing my life so just wanted to thank you Nick, We all love you and wish you the best in this next chapter.

Been watching you guys for like 5 years and that sure sting too see it come to an end, It feels unreal and within the 5 hours since the announcement it kinda have stung really deep, As for many of us who had a long relationship and unfortunately didn't worked out as we hoped sure is hearth wrenching, but no matter how long it will take most of the hole that been created will heal. Take all the time needed dude and rest your mind if can, And if need to crash out - you got your friends covered! All support and love here. ♥

[@codystoro3614]

Hey Nick, Know this is going to fall on deaf ears but ive been watching you since when you were that funny laugh guy on chances streams. You have helped me through more than i can ever describe. I love you dude im shedding tears for you and malenas situations not knowing how you both are truly feeling, but knowing how rough it can be. i just wanted you to know, you both mean so fucking much to me. Lots of love to both of you!

[@piñamk1]

Never felt this sad from an online couple breaking up ngl. This shit came out of nowhere (at least for me). She was and still is an amazing person sadge we dont get to see her anymore, unless she posts something on her own. Sending love to both ♥♥

I'll miss the cooking streams, end of an era. Best of luck to both of you o7

[@Alijehad02]

I had a similar experience. Mine was like 7-6 years but mine was obvious from the start that problems were coming and there wasn’t a future for that relationship even tho I tried my absolute hardest to hold on. I don’t know nick and Melina personally but from the years of watching them I can say that they were a thousand times happier than what I had going with me ex and I’m truly sad that these two great people are separated. Hopefully both of you find happiness again.

[@NismoPWNS]

11:08 thank you for that. Getting on twitch and watching you two was an escape from my reality so seeing you two call it off was upsetting

I just discovered your channel a couple months ago, really liked the vibe. Buddy I’m married with 3 kids been with my wife for 17 years, I’m 35, and I hate my wife. We work together, I’m a photographer, and I’m stuck. Can’t make money without her due to all our content is her and the brands only know her. I know it’s sad but you can either double down and fight for her legit or just move on. As another mixed man who never met his family, you’ll be ok bud. Just press on. Being scared is not the end it’s the beginning.

Its just so hard for me because its like no one is meant to last anymore. I also had my wife leave 11 years into the relationship and it was someone I genuinely thought I would die together with. And a month later she was in a relationship with someone else. I don't really watch a lot of streams but i've watched you and soda on and off since pretty much the beginning and honestly just want to see you both happy. I'm glad soda is in the situation he is with vei, you got this.

[@denzel431]

My girlfriend and I broke up yesterday. 5 years. She needed to go back to her parents to be able to finish school w less payments and rent. I didn’t have enough money to pay for her education. Her parents don’t like how we lived. It was an amazing 5 years. We ended positively and I helped her pack. It’s lonely, with the pets we got together, in the house we rented together. It’s a new chapter, time to focus on ourselves. It’s just the first weeks and months. I completely understand what you mean. I wake up without her and just don’t want to get out of bed. I go back to work in two days. I’m in the wallowing days. Only the second day. It’ll get easier I’m sure. Good luck.
