Making herself a priority. After her emotional exit from Bachelor in Paradise, Kendall Long took to social media to offer fans insight into how she was doing since that tense conversation with Joe Amabile.

“Refuse to live vicariously. Dare to say no to conforming to others ideas of happiness, learn to say yes to curiosity and to leap towards things that scare you,” Kendall, 29, wrote alongside several photos of herself via Instagram on Wednesday, September 22. “In the final chapter of life wouldn’t it hurt to look back and regret a story formed from pieces of others lives, wants and desires?”

The reality star reflected on choosing herself as she makes decisions in her life based on what she wants.

“I do what I feel is right. I say what I need to say. I don’t regret a single thing,” she noted. “I recommend you all stop living vicariously as well. It’s very freeing .”


After a fan wrote to Kendall that she “should have made some sort of sacrifice’s [sic]” in order to be with Joe, 34, the graphic designer stood her ground about her decision to leave during a recent episode of BiP.
