Marcus Shoberg Breaks Silence After Bachelorette Jenn Tran
Runner-up Marcus Shoberg finally broke his silence after the shocking conclusion to Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette. He went to Instagram to share his thoughts along with a photo of himself and Jesse Palmer.
Marcus began his post by saying, “Vulnerability is not a weakness; it’s a strength. It’s the courage to stand in front of the world and say, ‘This is who I am, scars and all.’”
He went on to talk about his experiences in the military and how he almost lost his life when he was injured overseas. Marcus used to believe that it was the worst thing that could ever happen to him but now he believes without a doubt that it was the best. It taught him to be more compassionate and to value relationships and time.
Marcus went on to say, “I’ve been honest with my emotions—on @bacheloretteabc and in life—because I believe that being open is the only way to truly live. I’ve shed tears over the past, over love, and over the trials that have shaped me. But those tears don’t make me weak; they make me human.”
He said he has a heart that refuses to be hardened by the world.
His Message For Those Who Think He Needs Healing
Marcus Shoberg also had a message for those who think he needs healing. He said he has been on that journey for years and with therapy and faith he’s been given the wisdom to keep moving forward.
Marcus hopes that he can be a light for those who have lost theirs. He knows there is a young boy or girl who feels like they don’t have a way out and he is living proof that everyone can overcome their circumstances.
He concluded his lengthy post by saying, “So here’s my heart, laid bare. My life has meaning, my experiences matter, and if sharing them helps even one person find their way out of the darkness, then it’s all been worth it.”
As for Jenn, Marcus says he still cares deeply for her.
