I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕
It's so hard for me to keep things from all of you, so I just wanted to share that I'm in a new relationship and I'm very happy. :) And I hope you can all be happy for me!
Blessings ❤
I’m so so happy for you!! Yay!!
❤ I'm so happy for you! Wishing you two the best!
Just saying…I knew you were full of it when you tried so hard to convince us how happy you were to be single. Never fails, when a girl try’s to tell the world she’s so happy to be single, they are absolutely miserable and want and are looking for a partner 😂
Saw the title and was so happy for you it made me smile so big! You can be happy single and happy with someone else!
When you said "he thinks lots of guys are like him because of he has great guys in his life" That's another green flag. A persons friends and the people they chose to be around is a reflection of who they are and who they want to be. This man sounds amazing, I'm so glad you've found your golden retriever!
Yes, one of many green flags I noticed early on!!
His parents changing their lives to be more inclusive and innovative towards the blind community brought tears to my eyes. That is the sweetest thing I have heard, wow! So happy for you Molly!
Yes! Green flags across the board!!!
I heard this and I was like wow that is so cool and important
Those are green flag parents!
Molly: im good being single!!
the universe: not on MY WATCH
LITERALLY! hahahaha
@@MollyBurkeOfficial This is ALWAYS how it works haha, congrats
Well...that was then: this is now 😉
Doesn't happen to all of us ... realistically... I have grown into being quite content with the single lifestyle & being single. It has been around 8 years since my last relationship.
Congrats @@MollyBurkeOfficial!!!
I love the idea that you took him to this party being like "oh yes hey guys this is my FRIEND, we are just FRIENDS you know" and your friends would have been watching you two vibe and flirt and been like "uh huh, sure.... FRIENDS Molly". It's so cute watching two people pretend they're friends when everyone can tell there's more
That is 100% accurate to how the night went! hahahaah I REALLY WANTED TO NOT LIKE HIM!!!
Ironically, feeling "complete", as you said you were on Valentine's Day, is precisely the ideal state of mind to be in entering a relationship. When we feel whole and content on our own, that's when we're psychologically ready to accept a new addition. That's when it's healthy.
As a fellow blind person, the last few minutes of this video made me cry. I’ve found plenty of people who “accept” my blindness but not many who embrace it. It’s usually a taboo thing while dating that people try to avoid. He sounds like a gem and you give me hope that I can be fully loved for who I am one day.
You can! I held out for it and it was worth the wait. You can find it and you deserve it
So many times ive seen people say "I'm content with being single" and then boom - the magic person shows up. I think so much of it is being content with who WE are, and not feeling the need to be something we aren't. I'm not blind (would be without my thick-ass glasses lol), but I have the skeleton of Yoda, and a host of other medical issues, so i just think why would anyone be attracted to me? But you and I wouldn't judge someone else like us, right? So why are we being so mean to ourselves? You are gorgeous, and seem like a lovely person, and you have overcome things that have given you insight and tools that others don't have. Being confident gives others permission to do the same. 💖🙏🕊
I might have to watch the video again dif she said that thay met on valentine's day last year and now thay are moving in together sorry I think that is way to fast does she have a video the introduce this new boyfriend ,?
Molly same thing happened to me. I swore that I was done with men and dating…. A week later I met my husband of 40 years now at a bus stop no less. Enjoy your best friend…🦊🐾
"When we decided we weren't just gonna pretend we were friends" OMG this had me cackling Molly 😂 this is SUCH a mood!
I read, re-read, and re-read the title, the thumbnail, and the release date before I believed it and clicked on the video. I'm so happy for you Molly!
AHAHAH I love it!!! Trust me, I'm more shocked than anyone!! You couldn't have convinced me 4 months ago that I'd have a boyfriend right now and be so happy with someone! haha
Funny I did the same thing 😅
His reaction to being called a golden retriever is absolutely adorable. I also love that he didn't object or get upset about Molly not initially wanting to date him. He cared as much about what she wanted as he did about what he wanted.
The man respects boundaries, always! One of many reasons I fell for him.
Golden retrievers are the cutest. That would be a cute thing to say
I’m my husbands golden retriever! I know when he’s going to have an episode and deal with it ❤
The quote "you'll find someone when you least expect it." holds true for A LOT of people. I wasnt even looking when I found my boyfriend either. Crazy how life works out sometimes. Congratulations.
The same thing happened to me with my husband! 😄😆 I didn’t see it coming.
Yeppp same here🤣🤣💜💙
Exactly how my husband found me
Same for me and we’ve been together for over 9 months now!
That's how I met my gf
You did the thing, you found someone that made it okay to give up being single. I am happy single too and I truly feel like I need to meet someone who is gonna make me want to give that up.
Ugh sure you are!!! Just like Molly it’s a plea you say in public hoping maybe you’ll believe it😂
Yes, exactly! When you're happy being single, it takes someone REALLY special to make you give that up!! He's totally worth it
@BF woww somebody sounds a bit bitter, you ok hun? 😂
@@brynn1995You know it's possible to genuinely love being single, right?
❤ 100% agree
Oh my god, when you said his dad wants to code video games to be accessible to you it made me so emotional, that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard in my life 😭 I’m so happy you’re happy and have found such a great guy. Thank you for sharing your joy with us, and continue to move at your own pace :)
I can tell this relationship is very mature and green flags all around by the way she annouced him versus her pervious relationship annoucement video
This relationship is very different in every way :) For the better!
I find it interesting she didn't include her last relationship as being of the 2 most accepting of her being blind when he was also blind in his own way..
Im so happy for you, the fact he put so much thought into your first “official” date is so special ❤ he sounds like a really sweet guy and i love that for you ❤
He is consistently SO thoughtful and it's one of many things I appreciate about him
Him taking you to a light show is soooo thoughtful! What an absolute sweetheart. 🩷
So happy for you, Molly. Thing is, once you are whole and complete and good with yourself, then you aren't needy anymore and out looking for someone who is also needy to fill the hole. You attracted someone who is not your other half. He is whole in himself, you are whole and healthy in yourself, and you each are able to share each other's lives, giving because you are love, not giving to fill holes in each other. So so happy for you.
You know, I came to write something like this because this has been my philosophy and my experience that you'll find a good partner once you're happy with yourself on your own. You radiate that contentment and happiness and draw others in. And with that mindset, another person is only going to seem attractive to you if they're happy themselves and can give you additional joy without taking anything from you. Your words, however, were chosen so well; such a beautiful way of phrasing it. 💞
This is so well said, I have a friend who's going through a tough break-up right now, and if you don't mind I would love to share what you said with her. ❤
@@laurenw1168 Of course! I shared this because I had to walk this path and learn this very lesson myself.
I call my boyfriend a golden retriever too and we have a literal golden retriever as well. Everyone needs this energy in their life it's so wholesome. I cannot express how happy this made me 😊
You really don’t need to tell us anything. It’s not necessary for us to meet him or know more unless you want us to. We’ll always be supportive and if there is a time when you want to share more we’ll be here to continue our support. 💕☺️
It’s usually when you decide you want to be single when someone comes along. It is what It is. We’re happy if you’re happy!
Every disabled person truly deserves someone that does not make them feel like their disability is a burden. I have tourrettes and my boyfriend of three years is honestly the best. He knows when he can laugh with me about it or when I need help and when I do need help I never even have to ask cause he is always right there with me. I'm so happy to hear you found a guy that adds to your life 💕
You can find love when you least expect it, so happy for you 😊
It’s crazy that “easy, comfortable, and natural” are why people often destroy their relationships in the end. Some people just want to make their lives difficult for a bit of drama. These are GOOD THINGS!
They are GREAT things!! Just what I want/need. :)
*Molly: "I'm so happy to be single. Universe: "Hold my beer"*
This happened to me when I met my boyfriend! We literally were just friends. We just celebrated 6 years in May lol. He's so amazing and doesn't care about my disability! It really does happen when you least expect it! Funny thing is I'm and Aquarius and he's a Libra too! 😂
Oh yes, the Aquarius + Libra match is the cutest. I'm a Libra so I get it!
This happened to me too! And we’ve been together for 6 years too!
Congrats molly! We love you and are so happy for you!
I’m so happy for you Molly!! I couldn’t click on this video faster hah! :)
It happens! I was literally deleting tinder off of my phone when a guy super liked me right before so I decided fine last one. It's been 5 years together and I moved to the Netherlands to be with him! Best wishes Molly!
Just hearing you talk about your time together lets me know how amazing of a guy you've found! Really happy for you!
Yes friends, he IS all that. We all adore him and hanging with them together is fun, uplifting, and like she said, easy. He is a solid guy and I’m so happy they found each other. ❤
And, if I may say so, very handsome with stunning eyes.
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your relation to Molly? Relative or a friend? It’s wonderful she found what sounds to be her soulmate
The thing you said about only dating if they add value to your life and are something special really resonates with me! I’ve never been in a relationship and have learned to be cool in my own company. I travel, I take myself off to the theatre, I have hobbies. Would I like to have someone special to share that with? Sure, but if I don’t meet them I’ll still be good. I’m not going to force it by going on hundreds of dates with people I’m not bothered about just so I’m not alone ❤
Such a healthy mindset!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I finally got into a relationship after 3 years of choosing to be single, and its an adjustment for sure 😅 but im so happy i waited for the right person to appear. I wish you all the happiness!
Aww, my heart. He seems like an absolute gem. I could not be happier for you, sweet girl. I love that his family has embraced you and tried to step up their game for the blind community.
I met this guy thru friends who asked me out. I told him I wasn’t looking for a romantic relationship, but really did like him as a friend. Over time we became like best friends.…Fast forward…we’ve been married for 22 years (and still best friends)! It often happens when u least expect it. Also, friends first is a great way to start. ❤
Oh my God, I see the guy that you went to Disney with cause I saw you guys at Disneyland and you guys look so cute together
Lucky you, you had a boyfriend spotting! hahaha
It's a nice bonus to start out as friends. I hope you continue to find happiness with each other.
I think it’s absolutely necessary to have space to be single, get to know yourself, and be at peace. You definitely attract what you put out in life. I was in abusive relationship many years ago and when I finally left I didn’t date after that for 5 years. Since then I have met my partner who is absolutely amazing! Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had, lost of laughs, open communication, and ease. I hope everyone is able to experience that love in their lives ✨✨
This video made me tear up! I'm so happy for you Molly. This video also reminded me not to take my long-term boyfriend for granted. It's easy to do after almost 5 years and living together for 2, so I need to remind him how much I appreciate him! Like you said, being with my boyfriend has always felt easy and comfortable. He fit in with my family right away. I'm a wheelchair user and he's able-bodied, and he is so helpful and sweet in the way he interacts with me. He learned how to take my wheelchair apart and put it back together to load it into cars by our SECOND DATE. That means he only saw the process twice before he could do it flawlessly himself. I have relatives who don't know how to do it after years of practice! He can always tell when my arms are getting sore from pushing my wheelchair and he'll take over so I can rest. We had only been official for a month when I needed emergency surgery and he stayed in the hospital with me the entire time. He's wonderful! I can't tell you how happy I am that you found someone so wonderful as well.
I almost teared up when you said all the things his family has thought about to make things accessible 😊 and that makes me know he’s a good guy cause he comes from a good family!
This made me smile so much! I'm so happy for you AND ELTON! 🤣
It always happens when you least expect it! I look forward to hearing more about him along the way.
💞
Congratulations! He sounds amazing, so so happy for you 🎉
I hope you continue to enjoy this relationship. I love that a golden retriever.
It’s the cutest description!
So happy for you Molly, wish you both all the best together ❤
I’m so happy for you, Molly!!
Me too :D hehehe such an unexpected, lovely addition to my life!
Congratulations to you both!!! I cant wait to eventually meet him.
Never thought I’d like anyone for you as much as Adrian, but this sounds promising! Happy for you!
Happy for you! It’s one of those sayings “It happens when you least expect it!” That is very true. Prayers for a good times ahead.
Aquarian, Irish, Canadian, dog lover chiming in here so say I also am in love with a libra and it’s pretty great. Happy for you Molly!
UMMMM THE LIGHT SHOW HELLO??? That’s SO CUTE 😭🥹❤️
same story!!! WE met and it was effortless!!! Congratulations. I'm so glad you've developed such a nice relationship!!
So excited and happy for you!!
Thank you
Oh my gosh my first thought was “Wow, I guess it’s true when people say that you find them when your not looking 😅” so happy for you Molly 🥰🤍
Congrats!!! You deserve all the happiness. So glad to hear some good news ❤❤❤❤
After a terrible 2022, it's been nice to have such a wonderful 2023!!
I'm really happy for you and yeah usually when a demi-sexual find somebody to date it's something that develops out of a friendship first it's completely natural have a good time
I'm so happy for you! Best wishes for both you and your relationship. You don't owe us anything so I'm glad you're setting healthy boundaries and only sharing what you want to share.
Came from your newest video about moving in together. The psychic has been correct so far! 🥳
Congrats Molly!
I met my husband literally the night I told all my friends that I was going to take a year to focus on being single and loving myself. We started out a friends and now we’ve been married for 11 years 😂 I’m very happy for you! ❤❤
I'm glad you are so happy! Im also proud you aren't afraid to put up your boundaries! Don't worry about not telling us sooner! A youtuber i watch litetally had a baby without even saying she was pregnant
It's great when people choose not to share their babies with the world. Too many YT channels force cameras into their babies/kids faces and the kid may be alright with that now but I guarantee it'll be embarrassing when they get older.
When people are adults or even late teens, they cringe at their younger selves. Imagine everything from when you were little all over the internet!
People need a private life too. Don't have to share everything.
I love that you’re keeping him private! It’s good to have some things to yourself 😊
I hope that we as a society get to the point where every person you meet is like your bf's family - happy to help and to accommodate for the different abilities we all have :)
i love the cuts to past videos! happy that you're happy 😊
Thank you :) It came out of nowhere! lol
It's always a good sign when all your friends start pestering you to date somebody lol!! And even better when the dog loves him too.
Super happy for you, it really does always happen when you least expect it.
Molly Thank You for sharing everything about guide dogs, I never thought I would be meeting back up with one of my husband's students and end up taking care of her guide dog. I really appreciate everything you shared. I have been very careful not to spoil his training because I now know the value of a good guide dog. Funny story he leashed guided me all weekend... and when I let him out in our large backyard and I went to the far side of the lawn to mow with a push mower he quickly came to my left side and tried to guide me. I quickly stopped and got my son to take him for a walk while I finished the lawn. Thank you again. -Jeannie
Congratulations, very happy for you. The right person in your life helps makes a difference. I’ve been watching you for a while now. I was diagnosed with RP this year and officially told I’m legally blind this week. My sweetheart has really made a difference. Congratulations again. Take care, Tanya
You found YOUR person! You always find them when you’re happy being single and embracing it! It happened for me too girly!
Only when you feel complete all on your own can you truly have a great partnership. So happy for you ❤
I have a disability too and need a lot of help. But I found my own unicorn that sounds exactly like yours. Im so happy for you - its what you deserve ❤
That’s how it happens. You get comfy on your own, and then the universe comes along and wrecks your plans! Congrats!
Yes, seriously!!! If it didn't happen to me, I wouldn't believe it's true!!
So happy for you, Molly! Your glow went perfectly with your makeup and pink sweater ❤
I am so happy for you! You are in no way a "fraud". I mean you saying you were happy being single was still true. You found someone who just makes you even happier, but that doesn't deny what you said before. Love comes when we least expect it. Personally, I wasn't looking for a relationship when I started dating my boyfriend and here we are over 3 years later still together and happy. I respect you wanna keep him a "mystery" to us and you guys deserve that privacy as it is still a new relationship. Making it totally public takes away so much of that privacy. Keep it as long as you can! Though I can't wait till the day we get to meet him because I can just tell by your smile how happy he makes you. Let him know he's already got a fan! (And I'm sure a lot of other killer bees here will agree we are fans without even knowing him) EDIT: The fact his family already is starting to think of how to do more accessible things is amazing! Seems like a great family
I'm holding back tears this is adorable and I would give anything to feel this kind of love again
That's awesome. I've been thinking you've never looked better and you look happy, so this doesn't surprise me at all. lol Would be nice to just know his first name, but I get it. I'm so happy for you. You deserve lots of happy so well done boyfriend!
Aw, wow! Thank you!!
To the o p, Same I can't wait to meet him.
i remember being soo happy to be single and not wanting to be heartbroken ever again, being so content... and then i met my boyfriend. honest and true love can be so powerful!
So happy for you!
I'm SO HAPPY for you Molly! I'm happily single but would love to one day find such a unicorn! The thing about him taking you to a light show for your "first" date is PRECIOUS!
I clicked so fast, I neeeed the tea on this! ☕️ Happy for you, Molly!
Amazing! So happy for you Molly and for Elton! God is good.
My boyfriend is also definitely a golden retriever/husky mix of a boyfriend. He's wildly goofy, the most pure soul, a true optimist, and legitimately won't even kill an ant he is THAT against the slightest bit of violence and hostility (which as a true-crime junkie and pessimist is VERY refreshing and a much-needed mindset). Just watching and listening to your voice and how you explain even the smallest details about him makes me smile so much for you! I'm over 5 years into my relationship and still sometimes just sob from my heart overflowing with love and happiness for him. I truly hope you get that feeling 5+ years on too, Molly!!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Omg Molly the title is so shocking!! I'm so excited and happy for you!!
So happy for you and Elton, Molly! I wish you all the best 🥰
I’m so happy for you, you are amazing and inspiring and you deserve to be happy
I noticed the claddagh ring was switched during one of the Disney vlogs, but I didn’t think anything of it really. Now it all makes sense 😁
Aww how exciting! ❤ Molly is trying hard to hold a boundary, but she is struggling already 😂 I see a Q&A video in the near future
Congratulations Molly🎉. This is how I found my husband. Who I have been married to 9yrs in December. It was totally not expected. That’s the best. You look and sound so happy. Your glowing and that’s beautiful!! It’s cute to see you this giddy!!
"This isn't good... he's lovely 😍" GIRL! I am there with you! 😂😂 This is exactly how I felt meeting my now boyfriend. It was so out of the blue for me (and apparently when I finally asked him out a year later, it was a surprise for him too 😂) God's timing can be wild
This is just the most beautiful video 🥹 Thankyou for sharing, I am truly so happy for you!! ♥️
You deserve a positive relationship. You do not need us involved. So happy for you two ❤
The best relationships start with a friendship ❤️ congrats Molly, you deserve all of the good things in life
4 months ago she said she wasn’t dating, so I knew she was going to meet someone soon!!!
Congratulations!
Also if you're a Mia lover you two need to Collab, I adore her 💕💕💕💕💕
This is 100% how I felt when I met my fiancé. 😂 I was casually on dating apps just sort of to talk to people and maybe go out but wasn’t really expecting anything, neither was he. We’re 28 and 35, both of us were sort of in this “are either of us ever going to get married?” phase and we’d both bought houses less than a year before we met. Now it’s been a year since we met and he just sold his house and moved in and we’re getting married in a little over 3 months. ❤
Edit to add: He proposed at the very beginning of February, only a little over 7 months after our first date, but when he asked my dad for my hand, my dad said “it’s about time!” When you know, you know.
Okay, I have to add even more… I was typing these comments while watching the video and then got to the very end where you talked about the psychic saying you’d loved each other in a past life and this was your one to be together! You need to listen to the song “Have we met before” by Sarah Barrios with Eric Nam! I love that song because I was having the exact same feeling with my fiancé! On our first date, we didn’t want to say goodbye! We ended up going on this like 6 hour date with multiple parts where we went to dinner, went hiking, and then went to get drinks on a balcony over looking a lake. While we were getting drinks there was another couple at the table next to us that had clearly been together a long time but looking back, it feels like we had a very similar vibe together even though we had just met that day!
I LOVE that you’re goofy together!!! That’s SO fun!
I think you meet people when you’re so happy and so tranquil because your life is fulfilled and this new person just adds to it 🙌🏻 you don’t NEED someone you CHOOSE to share your life with someone and that’s magic ♥️
13:35 omg Molly I’m so happy for you. Best of luck in your relationship! We’re so young, there’s no pressure, just enjoy yourselves ❤❤
I can't wait to finish watching this update 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so excited for you! You are glowing! It really seems like you've found such a good partner. It reminds me of how my husband, and I started dating. We were friends and we just enjoyed each other company for a while before we decided to actually date. Relationships like yours are so special. I wish the two of you an happy healthy long-lasting partnership. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations on finding a boyfriend he has found a goddess in you molly you are a genuine beautiful lovable woman you are a beautiful person inside and out iam proud of you
Love this update so much. Great to see you so giddy and happy. xxx
Watching this video makes me want to go hug my husband.. we just had our six year wedding anniversary. 💖 Your BF reminds me of how my love has always made me feel so cared for and supported even though I struggle with many challenges, and he's never made me feel bad for it. And I remembered how when we starting "hanging out" I took him to church and told everyone we were friends, and everyone was like, oookay suuure. 🤣 Unicorns do exist. I'm glad you found one too. 🦄💖
I really really wanted to say way back, do not worry you will find a partner, probably sooner than expected. So while I cannot say that I told you so, inside myself, I did. Love to you all!❤
