\"I’ve become a role model for young women and started bigger conversations around faith, and sex,\" she wrote. \"I’m living on my own for the first time and shuffling through this life of next steps with press, media, and opportunities galore.\"

But she revealed that this increased attention and different way of life has impacted many close relationships in her life.

\"I miss my friends and family that have watched my life explode,\" she wrote. \"I feel guilty because I don’t have the time or emotional capacity to fill each of them in on my life right now. I can’t keep up with the people that matter most, because I can barely keep up with my own life right now.\"

Brown added that she's not ungrateful for the tremendous opportunities she's received -- and fully acknowledges her many blessings in life -- but, \"it’s uncharted territory for me, and it’s been hard to really process what the heck is going on.\"

She added that she was sharing the note, to \"remind myself I’m human and it’s okay to be overwhelmed.\"

\"Life is beautiful, but wild,\" she added. \"I think it’s okay to be strong-to know you’re strong-but to still feel weak simultaneously. I believe that’s when the magic happens.\"

Brown also noted that she's optimistic about her future. \"My spirit has opportunity to grow and blossom from this place,\" she wrote. \"Healing and restoration can happen.\"
