This is just too novel not to share, so here we go. I mean, it's nothing new that folks pour out their lives on facebook and communicate important questions of their relationship there, either alone or with their partner.
But I find it remarkable that Aaron Dykes (https://www.facebook.com/aaron.dykes.12) and Melissa Melton (https://www.facebook.com/melissamelton.here) do the same. A short recap, both left Infowars earlier this year. First, there was some gossip about why some of the Infowars crew left, which was spread by Linda West, who also left Infowars after a short stint there.
However, she later published two quite nice videos putting her prior videos (which she took down) in perspective. Seems like they're all friends after all.

But back to the story of Aaron and Melissa. I didn't follow their website (http://truthstreammedia.com/) closely, but here's what Melissa shared (https://www.facebook.com/melissamelton.here/posts/1442736835948583) publicly on facebook two hours ago:
As you may have noticed, my friends, the TSM radio show has gone silent. The website sits longer and longer between updates.
Months ago, someone got crushed by someone she, perhaps blindly, trusted with it all. Days turned to weeks and things got colder, got worse instead of living up to the promises for better. She still held out hope things would change. Then life slapped a few more obstacles in the way of finding happiness. Better never really happened, though, and hope slowly laid down and died next to all those pretty promises.
Then came a final death blow. Now it's apocalyptic Disaster Land bleeding over into that unforgiving holiday hell season that happens every year whether you want it to or not, tinged with an incessant, dull pain...that place where the nerve endings can't quite manage to finally give up the ghost and go numb.
I'm a private person really, so I know I'm talking to you now without really saying anything. I guess I will just tell you someone's heart got entirely broken a few weeks ago by someone she loved with the whole entire thing. And it hurts like ****ing hell.
Giving up everything to be with someone, following one's heart, love over fear...the whole bit. At least I can say I did what I felt was right and true to myself, God and the universe.
Ultimately it comes down to a battle of endurance when one person keeps robotically bailing out a boat, even as she watches the person who helped build it with her punch yet another hole in the bottom. And the sharks never stop circling, of course they don't...
Well, I've finally set down my bucket. I'm beyond exhausted.
In his wake, the mad, lonely bull in that china shop is trying to fix his sorry mess. It's slow going. Everything is obliterated. There are tiny pieces of broken glass strewn everywhere and they just keep cutting over and over because it's the only thing they know how to do....
Please friends. Be patient. I started Truthstream as a small personal blog after I woke up, as they say, in 2011, and it's here to stay. It's just suffering a long nap. I have so much I want to contribute to the world, I promise. The current circumstances are just so ****ing unkind.
But my momma gave me a good deal of common sense and a good head on my shoulders. I may wear my heart on my sleeve in a time when no one does that anymore, but I'm not entirely naive. I'm nothing if not resourceful. Maybe I've just lost my compass and my flashlight died, so I've got no choice but to blindly feel my way out of the dark now, but I'll get there as soon as I can....
I'll get there.

Melissa Melton has easily been the most angelic, inspiring and wonderful person I've ever known. She defines beauty in an unmatched combination with wit, brains, a tremendous amount of wisdom, and unhindered capacity to dream, imagine and reach. And lots more. Trying to reach with her is an experience few will ever know, that I would trade for absolutely nothing.
Trying to build a dream can't be easy, or perhaps it is so simple I missed it altogether. How I could lose the forest for the trees in a such a beautiful struggle is beyond me. Ever thinking of letting her down should be unimaginable, but it happens. What isn't fixed gets worse, I suppose. Distance grows. Fear sets in; selfishness. Reduction to the repeated paces of life that were supposed to add up to something not at all mechanical; something that started out so boldly. We tried to take it all on head first.
But we got worn down. Weathered. Beaten. And I turned around and made things worse. I wanted to much to make it better, but failed. Badly. How I let her down I'll never fully grasp for myself, but will always regret. I only hope that sharp edges and gaping wounds can be healed, pushed aside, pieced back together, etc.
The love there is so strong, so unimaginably big, so sleak and smooth in design; so cunningly simply. But it crashed. Totaled? I pray daily that it isn't. Whiplashed and banged in; head on into a tree. I'm hurt but the one I love more than myself, that I'm driving, just got hurt worse. Now what? Can I help her back on her feet? Will thing ever not be between us? I seek forgiveness and redemption. I've learned so much from her about life; now I'm learning a lesson I could have done without. Slow going patch up, when the crisis continues to play out in excruciating slow motion.
Whatever happens, I will always love Melissa Melton deeply. I will love her until the day I die, I don't care who knows it or what they think of it. I believe in forgiveness; seek it, beg for it and pray for it. I know it must be paired with redemption, understanding and growth. I seek that even more deeply. Can this really be the final lesson from the most graceful and alluring creature I've ever been connected to? It can't be, for our connection is too strong… so strong that I will never give up. When sorry fails, I will keep trying. Will the effort speak for itself? At least that look between us will. What isn't worked out will, as the song explains, haunt me forever. The sound of her voice will haunt me. I only hope regret isn't the final chapter, but rebirth. I love you more than you know...

Some people mean more than anything to you, but sometimes you still let them down. Even break their heart. I'm there. This photo was before all that, in a purer state...

I can already hear the voices, "Can't they sort out their stuff in private, how immature?!" And in a way, I agree. They could just write those parts that pertain to the public on facebook and communicate those parts that concern their relationship privately.
However, as public figures, their private life and their public appearance are so much linked to each other that you have to make it all public if you wanna explain the whole picture. I mean, you could be abstract and leave out the details, sure. But in a way, I love that transparency, that is, if this really is transparency and honesty and not just hollow words.
People are easy to put themselves out there when all is fine, but they usually hide the problems they encounter in life. This can be appropriate following the idea that you wanna solve problems for yourself and not bother people who have nothing to do with this. But what's happening here is kind of like people thinking out loud while being in their home, with the thoughts being audible to everyone outside.
Virtually anything that can be undertaken can be done in a expedient or a detrimental way, I think. Being so public about private issues can be positive, I think, helping people to reflect on things and figure things out, I mean both the people involved and those watching.
I don't know what's the case here, but I certainly hope the best!
