I don't even know her but her post today was so inspiring and real.

chefchaya💍❤️I am #engaged!
I may not show my face on this platform, I connect & share a part of my heart and life with you & that’s worth way more.
You bring me into your homes.
You share personal stories with me.
You laugh with me.
You’ve followed my food & lifestyle journey for almost five years.
How can I not invite you into my heart and mind on one of most joyous occasions I’ve known?!? I share this as beautiful news, BUT also to give you hope.
My age you 🤦🏼‍♀️ ask.
A number I frequently ya know 🤥 Avoided.
A number I was ashamed of being single.
Why aren’t you married?
Don’t you want to have kids?
Is no one good enough?
You must have commitment issues?
What’s wrong with you?
Ya know what ?
Nothing is wrong with me.
I’m fabulous.
Im a great 🎣 catch actually.
I just haven’t met the right one.
Until now.
I’ve suffered MANY pains, rejections, struggles, embarrassments, shattered dreams and daily hurts.
Being single in our community at my age isn’t easy.
I’ve had some of the most obscene, painful, and crazy dating stories.
I can’t say I was bitter.
Although I was tremendously worried.
I felt like I had an invisible sand timer over my head, with the passage of time slipping through my hands and weighing me down.
Nevertheless.
Every day for the past five years I’ve showed you Sunshine.
I’ve worked on myself tirelessly .
I’ve strengthened my character.
I didn’t let my circumstance define me.
I defined my circumstance.
My page is about love, gratitude, inspiration, positivity, giving, humor, food, living the life you love & loving the life you live.
If I can teach you one thing:
Don’t let your status hold you back from living the life you dream and love.
It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think your not.
I’ve traveled.
I’ve gone back to school for my masters late in my 20’s.
I’ve had jobs that fulfilled | challenged me.
I’ve had heartbreaks.
I’ve created my own brand.
I’ve pushed my comfort zone.
I’ve taken Foster Parenting Classes.
I lived a fulfilled and happy life despite my circumstance.
I wish you all Inner Peace & Happiness.
Thank you for being on this journey with me.

I saw the news and was really happy for her! It's hard to find a popular jewish blogger like her that's always optimistic and happy and doesn't put down others. I'm impressed.

So I went to check her instagram stories. I was about to come back and say I don't know what you're talking about. She's talking about wedding dresses and such.
And then I reached her last story and saw her message.
I'm so sad for her.
I hope she finds strength to heal and move on. She's so real and positive. Hashem should bentch her with happiness only.

Hmmmm what an idea. Well with that amount of followers a hacked account would be a major loss. But it's the better alternative I guess... One can hope.

The way it was written sounded so much like her. It is just so sad, it's hard for us to believe.

I'm curious why you feel that way. We are in so much pain together with her - my heart feels broken as if I know her personally. She is such a good person and I so badly wanted her to be happy. She posted so publically - she should feel our public empathy. I pray that Hashem helps her move on and find her bashert quickly.

BTW, a simple Google search of her name you will find out what she looks like. Very sad that she is no longer engaged. Hope she finds someone else soon.
