Charity cried following her elimination and vented to the cameras, "I don't have words... It makes no f-cking sense to me. Sometimes that's just the way life goes, and it sucks. But it just means I'm one step closer to finding who I need to be with."
But that's not the last word from Charity. She took to Instagram Monday night after the episode aired and expressed how she's at peace with Zach's decision and looks forward to her bright future.
"Going into this journey, I had no idea what I was walking into. But wow, was it an experience of a lifetime," Charity captioned a handful of photos from her time on The Bachelor.
"I was challenged and pushed to a level of vulnerability that I didn't know was possible for myself. Through the highs and lows, I grew as a person through it all and was able to discover depths of myself, and that is the true victory."
Charity also acknowledged the "beautiful" friendships that she made during the show with a group of "loving" and "supportive" girls.
"I could not have made it to this point without y'all. The bond we all share with one another is like no other, and I know that I have you all in my corner for life," Charity wrote.
The 26-year-old child and family therapist went on to address Zach directly.
"To Zach, thank you for allowing me to be apart of your journey. You provided a constant safe space showing grace, compassion, and always allowed me to share parts of myself that were hidden," Charity shared.
"I wish you nothing but the best as your journey continues!"

She continued in her post, "Lastly thank you to every single producer, and staff behind the scenes. The love and support never went unnoticed and I will always be appreciative for all that you did for me."
"Thank you to bachelor nation and all the fans for the love. I LOVE YOU ALL."
Charity wrapped up her Instagram post by teasing that her time on The Bachelor franchise may not be over yet.
"One thing I know is true: the best is yet to come! #thebachelor #bachelornation," Charity concluded, adding a white-heart and a red-rose emoji.
Many The Bachelor fans are rooting for Charity to become the next The Bachelorette star, even The Bachelorette alums Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young.
Based on a preview for The Women Tell All that aired at the end of Monday night's The Bachelor episode, The Bachelorette's Season 20 star will be announced on The Women Tell All special Tuesday, March 14 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
When asked if she'd say "yes" to starring on The Bachelorette, Charity said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast last month, "I think I would [accept the offer], yeah."
"I think it takes a very special person to be in, kind of, the driver's seat in something like this," she elaborated. "I think for me, obviously you guys can see my heart and how adamant I am about my journey."

Zach told Us Weekly at The Women Tell All taping that Charity would "kill it" as The Bachelorette's next leading lady.
"She knows what she wants. She is so confident, she's so sweet and, you know, she has a great heart," Zach gushed about his Final 4 bachelorette.
"She's someone from the very beginning that -- I don't know what exactly it was -- but [she] was just trustworthy."
Charity's close friends from The Bachelor are also hoping to watch her hand out roses later this year.
"She's a gem. She's so cool, calm and collected," Aly Jacobs told Us. "She's very level-headed, and I think she would have just the best love story, something that I would want to tune into."
And Brooklyn Willie gave Charity her stamp of approval, explaining, "If it can't be me, then I want it to be Charity. Charity has been my best friend through the whole thing. I think she is incredible."
Brooklyn agreed with Aly that Charity is both "very intelligent" and "beautiful."
"She knows what she wants," Brooklyn noted. "This previous season, she's just had so many moments taken from her. I want to see her get her moment to the full capacity, the full extent, and just absorb every last minute."
Charity had been nominated to appear on The Bachelor last year while she was well on her way to recovering from a toxic relationship in her past during which the man had cheated on her multiple times.
"I definitely had reservations [going into The Bachelor]," Charity said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast. "I was unsure of what the outcome would be or what would actually transpire. But for me, with the timing of everything, everything just kind of fell into place."
In terms of what she wants from her future husband, Charity told Becca and Michelle that she's looking for honesty, confidence, and a man who doesn't play games -- which are all qualities she found and loved in Zach.
