Katie Thurstonis sending her followers good energy.
The formerBachelorettestar updated her Instagram Story with a post of affirmations after announcing her split fromJohn Hersey. The repost from Instagram account We The Urban began with a slide that read, “Not sure who needs to hear this but…”
Clicking through the affirmations shows notes about personal growth, leaving things behind and letting go of control. “Acceptance is peace,” the first reads. A later slide says, “Whether you are doing good or bad, people are always gonna talk, so you might as well keep doing you and focusing on what is in your control.”
Hersey updated his own social media with a lengthier statement.
“As Katie stated earlier, we are no longer dating,” he wrote. “The decision was not made lightly and it was obviously not an easy one to make.”

“I love being able to share special moments with you all — the funny ones. The happy ones. The outrageous, embarrassing, and heartfelt ones. But I don’t know if it will ever get easier to share the sad ones,” he also said. “I appreciate every one of you that has supported us throughout this journey. We could not (and would not) be here without you.”
