When it feels right, she does want to continue everything she had been building before. Her path hasn’t changed.”
“College wasn’t her path, but people around her told her how important it was and what a great experience it would be,” the family source explains. “Her passion and love was always connecting with people on YouTube, and she hopes in time she can come back.”
