She wrote on Instagram:

If you love something set it free.. if it comes back it's yours - Mitch and Myself have taken a break from our relationship. It's has nothing to do with not loving one another but more to do with what is right and wrong for both of us right now. I am really proud of the relationship we share, it is so beautiful and creative. Everything we create and have created together holds the essence of such powerful love, A special magic. Twin flame. It's nice to know no matter what we can look back at all these wonderful things and see our love. We poured ourselves into one another and everything we did together for the last two years. We have always been so honest and open with everything and that is also something I am so proud of. We want to give each other's individuality an opportunity to grow right now. We are giving each other space and freedom, instead of turning something so amazing into something toxic. Of course I get upset, my heart hurts and I'm often confused. it's probably the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, the fear is sometimes overwhelming. Suppressing those emotions is not my desire. I don't excuse how I feel. I sit with the hard moments and I learn from them. I have also probably made some mistakes along the way. But I have to remember the bigger picture. There is so much more to life then worrying whether or not someone wants to be with you or not. Or what the future will bring. It's coming regardless. Right now in this moment is what is important, and right now I need to be alone on my journey. I need to honour the essence of myself and love myself. Blossom and create on my own. Become independent and support my own path on this earth. Mitch also. We both have amazing gifts and messages to share with this world and it wouldn't be possible to give right now if we were together. Are you good to anyone if your not being good to yourself? Blaming anyone for your current situation is the surest way to stay in a problem. Understanding enables us to rise above the issue and take control of our future. See next post ..

I feel alone more then ever and I feel as though my best friend is just is not around when I need him the most.

 

 

This space has been an Amazing outlet for myself and Mitch, and also an incredibly honest space. I'm sure you have all seen Mitch's story these last few days, and the raw real ness to my posts lately. I wanted to thank you all for reading, supporting and spreading love our way. Times are pretty tough for us right now, emotionally and spiritually I am quite lost. I feel broken and confused. I feel alone more then ever and I feel as though my best friend is just is not around when I need him the most. But that is expectations, expectations for love and for life. Love does not need any expectations, love is free to be whatever it fucking well wants. Love is real, and something this real is actually the most powerful thing I have ever experienced. I believe this will be my biggest transformation and yours too @mitchgobel_resinart . We will rise from this much stronger, much more fierce and much more determined. We will pour ourselves into all our creative passions and will create something so great from this. What I am trying to say is Trust in every moment of your life. Take everything as an opportunity and support the people you love always.

Gobel said in his own Instagram post: 

I don't know if I'll ever find love like that again, life was just so beautiful - perfectly imperfect; it really was like a fairy tale. The adventures, the places we saw, our home and the lifestyle we lived, the sex... the sex. 

For now these memories are infused in my mind as the greatest days of my life, maybe they'll hold that position forever and I'm totally content with that. 

 

 

It's hard to know what to say. We know how many people were seemingly in love with our love @sallymustang ✨ Although Sal and I are no longer together, I cannot emphasize enough that a love for one another remains, I'm sure we'll always love each other. Unfortunately for us, love alone was not enough. We both have broad minds and we both want everything that this life has to offer. From the overwhelming love to the insane heartache, and everything in-between. I'll always be thankful for what we created together. Every single day I reminisce about the life we shared in Byron and I can hardly explain how much I miss it, thinking of it has me in tears. I don't know if I'll ever find love like that again, life was just so beautiful - perfectly imperfect; it really was like a fairy tale. The adventures, the places we saw, our home and the lifestyle we lived, the sex... the sex 🙌🏽 For now these memories are infused in my mind as the greatest days of my life, maybe they'll hold that position forever and I'm totally content with that. Love is the ultimate mentor and the ultimate catalyst for extreme transformation. Never again will I be so afraid of change because of what it's taught me. Now it's teaching me something new, something bigger and more challenging than I've experienced before and now we have a choice - To embrace or resist this transformation. Fear gives me nothing, so I stand here with open arms welcoming the pain and hardship and love that is inevitably to shine through this education. If you take one thing away from the love you witnessed between Sal and I, I'd like it to be this - Don't ever be afraid of 'failure' in a relationship, because if you are you can never truly love or be loved. Thank you Gypsy for everything you gave me. Thank you for the sunsets and moonrises. Thank you for the curries and salsas. Thank you for the smiles and alllll the crazy shit you used to say. Thank you for understanding my demons and my flaws. Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone. Most of all, thank you for letting me be me. I'll see you again soon. #loveforthewin #loveforpresident #loveforlove #gunsdontkillpeople #feardoes #sexisart #day40sober

Gobel also shares stories of his addiction on Instagram:

 

The day that I turned fourteen and nine months old (the day that I could legally get a job) is the day that I started work - in a car garage sweeping floors. Since then I've had over fifteen jobs, from driving tractors and herding cattle, to selling electronics and wearing a suit all day... I dropped out of school and worked full-time for about nine years. Almost every job I had, I hated with a passion, I would count the hours every single day. Then every Friday I would race home and get completely blind for the next 48 hours, inevitably Monday would come around - rinse and repeat... That was my life for almost a decade. I never stuck at anything, except for my art. Not many days go by when I don't think about how lucky I am to live the life I do now. I owe it all to self-belief, to taking a chance on myself and my art. Taking up my art full time was one of the most exciting and terrifying experiences of my life. I knew that no matter what happened, I just had to sort it out, I had to make it work. I wanted it bad enough and I got it 🙆🏼 It's no easy road, you have to be able to 'think outside the box'. I've been doing this professionally for three years now and I see so many amazing creatives out there with insane talents who just don't apply themselves, they don't believe in their work... I'm here saying that the future you dream of is totally possible, if you want it bad enough, and you should! - this is your fucking life! There's a whole new level of existence out there, you don't have to be working your ass off to make someone else's dreams come true, you just need to be creative and motivated. Use your fear to fuel your fire 🔥 Believe in yourself! and you'll find there's no such thing as failure in this life ✨#day29sober

Gobel told FEMAIL:

At the height of my using, I was doing four days on drugs, sometimes five, then three or four days in bed recovering, I'd be a ghost of a human, just useless - no emotions, no energy, no love.

I'd lay in bed for a few days until I felt better and then repeat the process all over again. It was the darkest time of my life, I just couldn't get my s*** together.
