I found your channel a month ago. In that month I've started university, met a ton of people, started studying, exercising, eating as clean as I can, and actually embracing/figuring myself out. Your videos make a lot of sense to me. A lot of things have been changing but every night since I've found your channel, I end my day with one of your videos. :) So, you're one thing that makes me feel!
Poor Things sounds really interesting. Have you ever thought of compiling a list of book recommendations? I'm sure you probably have some good ones! As for things that make me feel....I've been noticing lately that a lot of these things come from my childhood. There's something about nostalgia that really makes me emotional.
That part about terry is beautiful!! You're so blessed to have found someone like him and he's super lucky to have you as well! And I LOVE lana!! ESPECIALLY Ride! It's my number one from her!
I love when I get warm and fuzzy feelings from reading old birthday cards, especially handmade ones given to me by old friends. It reminds me that I'm loved and it's just amazing that someone would selflessly take an hour of their day to write such kind sweet things to little old me. Also when my friends play with/braid my hair, it just feels nice :)
I have always been afraid of sharing things that make me happy because I’m scared if I do then they wont work magic for me anymore. I know it sounds strange, but I feel it makes me focus more on the sentiment it gives me than the actual source itself, defeating all enjoyment for me entirely. You’re so open and I really really enjoy these honest, beautiful and incredibly selfless videos. Always such a treat, Kassie, thank you
Thank you so much for this video. I had a terrible day today. A pretty crappy couple of months actually. You describe me exactly when you say that you were someone who lost their passion. Today I was thinking "whats the point" to this life. Its very depressing, I know, but your video immediately cheered me up and made me realize that there are things worth it in life.
Philosophy makes me so passionate, because it's such a deeper thinking then common conversations. I'd rather talk about what exactly you think freedom and free will us then about how you recently bought new shoes
I'm currently in that passionless, no-motivation, no-enthusiasm, uninterested, 'what's the point' position, so I'm very glad to have watched this video. I'm trying to revive myself by figuring out, and even making note of anything that once excited me. Love your channel! Your channel makes me feel, lol! Thank you!
Kassie, Kassie... You are... I can't even say what you are. I love your beauty, you are vibrant, radiant. Your body is healthy and your mind is nourished by culture and knowledge. I truly admire you. I love your dark side as well, and how you learned to try not let it overcome you, how you embrace it and see the beauty in it. Like a friend. I love how openminded you are, I just read your article on your blog saying that you like learning that you are wrong because that means you are still learning. I love what you said about Terry and you, about your relationship : I think we should all learn to be more like you two. I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years now, and I try to make this relationship better everyday. Not judging your loved one, accepting him and loving him for what he is is so important and I know I have lots of progress to do on this side. And finally, I love how inspiring you are, you can't believe how much you inspire me to try and be a better person in life. Thank you.
I am passionate when I woke up every morning and see my son beautiful face. My son is my being I couldn't imagine my life without him.When you talk about your sister I would tear up and I realized how much my family means to me and to be grateful for what I have. Thank you for sharing your story
One story I love is Homer's: The Odyssey. It's a story focused primarily on family. Odysseus is trapped on an island by a god that wont let him leave, he finally manages to escape but is faced with a lot of perils on his way back home. Yes he kills a lot of things, but it was all because he was trying to get back home to his family to live a normal life again, and it really taught me about the importance of family and how you should strive for simple happiness. Unfortunately, I didn't grow up with a family and my boyfriend is the only family I have right now, and I have been taking it for granted. I've also been suffering from depression for a lot of my life so I fail to see the good things in life. Watching your video really opened my eyes to the things that I have been taking for granted. I haven't felt in a long time; so I need to start doing it again for the sake of my family.
I don't know how I hadn't seen these video before but this was awesome. I can't wait to read your book recommendations! Also, how you and Terry are so adamant on loving one another for who they are is amazing and extremely admirable. The world would be a happier place if more people thought the way you both do.
This video is exactly something that I needed right now. I feel exactly like you did. A dark monotonous lifestyle that needs the courage to change and grow. Thank you for this. An inspiration.
Lana Del Rey always makes me feel a lot of great things! Something as simple as driving on a beautiful, warm, sunny and breezy day makes me feel. Just opens up my eyes to the beauty around me. It's something I often neglect. Thanks for the thought provoking videos :) hope all is well!
the part with Terry made me tear up :') you guys are incredibly blessed to have found each other. One thing that makes me feel is when I watch/think about TLC's the little couple. Whenever I see little Will and Nora and how their family came together I feel touched by so much joy and love
I'm not philosophical at all, but I'm open to others having their own outlook on things. I love the part about you and Terry sharing an unconditional love and friendship for each other and his child-like playfulness. You guys seem so great for each other.
this was a really beautiful and inspiring video. i first saw the "how to be alone" video when i was about 16 or 17 and it really changed how i felt about going places alone and pretty much changed my life. i'm not scared to go do things alone and in some cases i prefer it. i love you and your videos!
I am so happy I found your channel a few months ago. I love the content you create. The How To Be Alone video is so hauntingly beautiful - one of my favorite videos ever! Ben Howard's music simultaneously makes me feel all of the things and super happy and calm. He is the best.
Omg the lana del rey part is so true! She makes me feel. I couldn't go a day without listening to her songs (full album, leaked & unreleased) for about a year now. Her songs makes me feel alive inside.
I love your videos so much. they're so different and so personal and I love your personality and your way of thinking sooo much! Don't ever stop making videos! you're my favorite!!
For me YOU ARE one of those motivational-feeling 'things'. You have no idea how much you helped me in my own "dark times". I will always be grateful for that!
Lana is my girl. I LOVED the part on Terry. The way you talk about him is so simply beautiful and passionate. I'm going to be a pediatric nurse so being around children and watching their kindness and curiosity is what really brings me back to happiness.
So sorry to hear about your sister, but from the way you talk about her she was an extremely beautiful person. Thanks for sharing, this video really touched me.
Kassie you make me feel! I don't have depression but I do have anxiety and when I was in my scariest and most anxious times your videos were the one thing that, without question could make me relaxed and inspired and all warm and fuzzy :) when you mentioned Lana Del Rey I was gobsmacked as I also share a passion for her and her beautiful music which never fails to relax me! Please keep being you! Much much love
You inspire me to learn more and dive into my passions. You are incredible. I'm also a huge Lana del Rey fan, and I found that same "feeling" of beauty and happiness coupled with darkness in Radiohead and The Antlers.
I have enjoyed and been inspired by your videos from the first one I watched...I LOVE this one. Can I just say...finally someone understands and is lost in Lana Del Rey the way I am! Beautiful and dark is PERFECT for her music. The part about your sister's painting brought tears to my eyes. Well done, as always well composed and well said.
Kassie, thank-you sooo much for this video. There are so many health and wellbeing channels out there, but the thing that I love about yours is that you go into deeper things than just food, beauty and fitness. Dont get me wrong - i absolutely love the food, beauty and fitness videos, but I also think true health, wellbeing and healing starts at a deeper place than that, and your channel is unique in that your explore these deeper concepts. Thank-you for having the confidence and insight to post videos such as this one, and your 'happiness takes effort' and 'being a hater' videos. Your an inspiration
Love love love Lana Del Rey . Her concert was cancelled in Chicago and I almost cried. Love "the National" too,listening to "Trouble will find me." Album is like i am in my own world. "I stay down with my demons"
I totally know what you mean about feeling numb (almost irreparably sometimes!) and grasping for things that make you feel. I really appreciate your sharing of this video, and really value that you're honesty about your struggles (I also appreciate that you keep the details of them private). You're videos are very informative as well as inspiring, so I hope you continue to enjoy making them :) I love documentaries discussing the wonders of our universe get my feelers really going! I highly recommend any discussion or documentary done by Brian Cox; he's fantastic, brilliant, hilarious, and has this boyish curiosity and excitement about him that's just contagious, really.
Thank you for this. I get trapped in the routine and my thoughts probably a bit more than it is necessary... I keep to analyze, evaluate and reevaluate everything I do and everything that happens to me to an almost unhealthy extent. I find peace in nature. I just know that whatever the hardship I face the sky will be blue and the stars shining. Just looking at the infinity of nature calms me down and makes me feel thankful for being alive.
Your videos are stunning and i don't know why I'm only just finding you, you are a beautiful and these videos almost always make me cry - in a good way
I keep finding myself thinking "Wow, she's amazing" after every video of yours. Everything from the editing to the content. They're like mini-spa sessions. They leave me light and happy.
Seriously you are my favorite youtuber out there! Because you not only worry about the surface but you also care about what's inside which is so much more important and transcendental and I love the personal touch you put in every advice you give, it always makes it more real, greetings from Chile ! :D
I have always been in this dark place with life and only recently have I started looking into getting better and your videos are really helping thank you
I can watch this, your video on Happiness Takes Effort and How To Be Alone over and over again and feel inspired and motivated each time. I'm so glad to have found your channel and you.. and I swear I haven't given up yet because of you. Thank you. x
Okay, my level of respect for you just skyrocketed after you mentioned Lana. She is just amaaaazing: genuine, talented, and so kind. I mean what kind of an artist performs for FREE at a celebrity's wedding? I just...I'm in love with her haha.
I love this! The positivity that you relay to your viewers through your videos is so consistent and contagious. I couldn't agree more about learning how to adapt and appreciate the time spent in solitary, it is so important to detox your mind. Love your videos! Keep 'em coming.
This is probably the best youtube video I have ever seen. I mean really see. It's truthful and full of life. I appreciate you sharing. I am also sorry about your sister. I have also lost a brother so the pain never subsides and you speaking about it, about her shows strength.
I'm so sorry to hear about your sisters passing but she sounded like an amazing person and so caring I thought it was such a thoughtful and beautiful idea for her to draw your friend and show him what she sees through her eyes and thanks for the video I actually really want to the read the book you recommended in this video it's nothing that I've read before and I want to try something new, thanks!
I am so glad I came across this video because I am currently going through this and I feel so lost and numb. You put everything so eloquently - I couldn't have said it better myself (and I want to be a writer so the way words are put together means a lot to me).
Thank you so much for your videos, Kassie! This video turned out to be extremely relevant to me at this point in my life as it was becoming easier for me to attach myself to negative emotions and painful memories as those were the only kind that could truly make me "feel" anything. I'm slowly learning to fill the feelings of emptiness with positivity and reawaken emotions I once thought were dead. Surprisingly, I'm finding my own happiness and completeness in myself, not so much through other people. It's like I was searching for something that was there the whole time :)
my definition of beautiful darkness is Marina & The Diamond's album "Electra Heart". People think it's just superficial bubblegum pop, but there is soooo much darkness to the album if you dig down in the lyrics and combine them with the tone of the songs. It's a very complex album, and I hate to be "2deep4u"-ish, but I don't think alot of people really get it hahaha. Marina is a genious. And I love that "Electra Heart", her "personality" on the album, is named after a greek tragedy. There's soooooo many details and puns in the album, it's brilliant. And very beautiful. ANYWAYS, hahaha, great vid ♥
Lana del Rey is a big inspiration for me, her music is very relatable and above all REAL. The way she portrays life's struggles and glorious moments are like nothing I ever listened to before. I totally get what you mean :)
I'm genuinely happy that I stumbled upon your channel today. Thank you for allowing us to see bits of who you are. You have no idea how much you can help a person with simply embracing yourself regardless of the circumstances. Be happy and stay awesome! Greetings from Saudi.
Okay it just amazes me how much I agree with everything you say but I'm so bad with words it's hard for me to convey how I really feel in a way that everyone can understand. You are one smart inspiring woman thank you for these videos! :)
The book The Fault in Our Stars makes me feel. It has so many interesting ideas about how we should live our lives and treasure each moment, since all time is limited and we will all be forgotten anyway.
I love all of your videos, but this one in particular actually made me get some feels, lol. I love how you describe your sister and her artwork was just so mind blowing on a level deeper than just the physical painting. I also found miss Lana during a dark point in my life, I like to give her music a bit of credit for helping pull me out of it.
Again, I love this video. So many videos I never comment on even if i'm a loyal subscriber because I just don't find it necessary. But what makes you FEEL, truly FEEL is something I question everyday. For me, my Hijab makes me feel so much more than everything else. I have always struggled with low self-esteem, and I feel I look so much more beuatiful with my hair out and my makeup on. But go out everyday with a bare face and piece of fabric covering my head forces me to define my beauty in other ways. It forces me to be beautiful with actions and words instead of looks and appearance. And I always question my beliefs, because if I can win a debate with my own self between to opposing view points that both have compelling logic, then I know what I believe is sound and true for me. Life without feeling, is merely existing.
your advice videos never cease to amaze me. Truly a well spoken woman. Love your taste on how to go about life and happy for you that you get to have someone like your bf that think so similarly, yet, still manage to have those healthy differences that help complement one another. Keep doing you girl!
Ah I just loved this video. Honestly though I just love you and all of your videos! haha I think it might have to do with the way in which you speak to us with honest care, and it feels like you're actually a friend giving good advice. I just recently started watching your videos and you have become one of my favorites already. I feel like you just have so much to share and yet you seem to be so kind and humble. What you are doing is just great because your outlook on mental and physical health is different in a positive way. Anyway yes, keep doing what you're doing because I'm sure it makes plenty of us very happy :)
I love that you read Plato! I'm a Latin classical studies student at my university in Germany and because of that I also had to learn Ancient Greek and translate a lot of Plato's work. I love classical texts about philosophy, they can really open your eyes to a lot of things.
Kassima you are the best! Very inspiring, you are so open and honest with yourself and I think that's a great way to live. Sending positive vibes your way :D
Thank you so much for sharing these. I feel like I know you so much better..... I love Lana del Rey! I love how you share so much of your personal life with us..... Im so glad you found all the things you did in life to make you feel
I agree with you, there are times when just stepping back from the materialistic world and focus on our self is the best way to find yourself. So far, I'm not there yet. I wake up and do the same damn thing everyday, and am feeling very frustrated at this point. I want to be and do more, but do not know where to start.
Beautiful video Cassie, thank you for sharing these stories with us; it's wonderful to see how you and Terry both appreciate life and enjoy it to the fullest (and with the best of attitude every day). Take care my dear, and never stop feeding your soul with the pure love that it possesses.
Awwww. Just watching a video about things that make someone else happy has brought a smile to my face :) I love this video! You seriously make me want to write a blog or something... I dunno, I just feel inspired by your creativity. Thank you for this video, thinking about the positive is definitely needed in my life right now. I've felt a little lost and uninspired by where my life seems to be heading, and this reminder that there's always something to look forward to/to smile about was just wonderful to watch. ps. I LOVE your hair in this video
Music in general is what makes me feel. I find I can cry and fall in love with a piece of music more than a celebrity or a film. Music moves me in many ways people can't. I love Lana Del Rey too. Her voice and music is so therapeutic and hypnotic. It's great to see someone appreciate her music as much as I and others do :)
So beautiful, thankyou for sharing. It's funny that the catalyst for change normally comes out if a negative experience. Alan watts, the philosopher was my ticket to feel land. That and lana del rey!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Tbh, I still havent completely found myself, however I feel as though I am getting closer and closer each day (: A few days ago one of my friends came out and it was amazing; he posted it on facebook and it was just so sincere. That made me feel for the first time in...a long time. I really want to just throw myself out there and not hold back like the shy person I usually am. Seeing your video and my friend's heartfelt confession has made me realize that I have nothing to fear anymore, so from now on I'm going to try my best to be myself if that makes any sense. Thanks again Kassie, your videos are always so inspiring and different from the other youtubers. You're so down to earth and I admire you so much! Keep making more videos haha :DD
This is just amazing, thank you Kassie! Im at my lowest right now and i feel numb to almost everything. Im not happy, not just sad either. It sucks and its affecting how im doing in sch. But with this, im determine to change. Slowly. Thanks once again!
"There's power in knowing what you believe, even after considering the alternative." I found that to be such a powerful statement and beautifully said.
I remember you recommended that book to me a few months ago..it really is beautiful and epic and completely left me enthralled! Not sure why but this video bought tears to my eyes Kassie... You put so much thought into everything you do and I love you for that!! Xoxo
I am torn between the options of liking and favouriting your video, when in reality i love and want to cherish your words and as ypu put it passion in my heart and memory. Truly it's people like you who dont let me give up pn trying to make others smile, to inspire them and have them rralize the beauty they always had and will have. Thank you for your beautiful words.
Such an honest, creative and inspiring video. You are quickly becoming my favourite youtuber. You express yourself so well and I love that you are always trying out new video styles and content. Thank you for being you! And for sharing it with us :)
Kassie, you're truly inspiring :) And I have to agree with you about Lana Del Rey. Her music is absolutely amazing and timeless. Her albums were all that I'd listen to during my University commute and they're very powerful too (Ride / This Is What Makes Us Girls and Born To Die are my favourites!) :) Love your videos!
I love Lana Del Rey, she is the only one singer, whose songs just speak to me so much.. Her music saved me many times, it's amazing.. And you and Terry are wonderful together! I wish you all the best Kessie, you are very inspiring :) take care
Great video once again! I'm always excited when I see a new vid from you. What makes me feel is writing. I am in a difficult situation but when I write it makes me feel so happy
This was just speechless like all your videos are amazing but this one I could relate to a lot like the one about your sister making the painting reminded me a lot of someone I lost who was an amazing person also thanks so much for making videos and being so inspiring and open with your fans your literally just so wow :D
Hi Kassie! I only recently realised that I had just been breathing and not really living. What awakened me were a few books and some videos here on youtube. The values that are passed on from generation to generation are not sort of able to answer the larger questions of life and I think that is the reason why most of us are troubled. Like you, I recently started to question things and I happy that I did :) It has made me to some extent who I am today and who I want to be tomorrow :)
girllll! yes. i feel you. yup! been there. its awesome that you found some things to give you inspiration again. its empowering to know that you can overcome!!!! whoo hoo!
Things that get me passionate (aside from cleaning and organizing my appartement...), music/playing piano, it's soothing and calming me, best stress reilef I've found so far ! and Lana Del Rey.... Amazing !!!! ^^
I LOVE Lana Del Rey. Her music is perfect. and awww when you speak of terry, that's beautful.
exactly my thoughts!
This video made me feel.
This video gave me ALL the feels. Thank you so, so SO much for taking the time to make and share this! Incredible video
I found your channel a month ago. In that month I've started university, met a ton of people, started studying, exercising, eating as clean as I can, and actually embracing/figuring myself out.

I hope you're okay now and you continued this healthy life style.
Poor Things sounds really interesting. Have you ever thought of compiling a list of book recommendations? I'm sure you probably have some good ones! As for things that make me feel....I've been noticing lately that a lot of these things come from my childhood. There's something about nostalgia that really makes me emotional.
Also, so sorry for the loss of your sister.
Your sister was a beautiful soul, and the time she spent here is priceless. I love that you share your pain, love and hope with us :)
That part about terry is beautiful!! You're so blessed to have found someone like him and he's super lucky to have you as well! And I LOVE lana!! ESPECIALLY Ride! It's my number one from her!

So lovely to hear how you feel about Terry, and so refreshing to see a video discussing intellectual passions, loved it :)
Kassie, Kassie... You are... I can't even say what you are. I love your beauty, you are vibrant, radiant. Your body is healthy and your mind is nourished by culture and knowledge. I truly admire you. I love your dark side as well, and how you learned to try not let it overcome you, how you embrace it and see the beauty in it. Like a friend. I love how openminded you are, I just read your article on your blog saying that you like learning that you are wrong because that means you are still learning.

And finally, I love how inspiring you are, you can't believe how much you inspire me to try and be a better person in life. Thank you.
PS: pardon my english, i don't know if every one of my sentence is correct, I'm french... :)
now that is what i call a beautiful comment.
I am passionate when I woke up every morning and see my son beautiful face. My son is my being I couldn't imagine my life without him.When you talk about your sister I would tear up and I realized how much my family means to me and to be grateful for what I have. Thank you for sharing your story
art makes me feel
music can be truthful
art can be calming
im drawing rn andlistening to your video this is nice

Love love love Lana Del Rey . Her concert was cancelled in Chicago and I almost cried.
Love "the National" too,listening to "Trouble will find me." Album is like i am in my own world.
"I stay down with my demons"
I Need My Girl by The National is an unbelievable song. I really love them.
***** me too!!!
I totally know what you mean about feeling numb (almost irreparably sometimes!) and grasping for things that make you feel. I really appreciate your sharing of this video, and really value that you're honesty about your struggles (I also appreciate that you keep the details of them private).

I love documentaries discussing the wonders of our universe get my feelers really going! I highly recommend any discussion or documentary done by Brian Cox; he's fantastic, brilliant, hilarious, and has this boyish curiosity and excitement about him that's just contagious, really.
You always make me want to keep going even if I feel numb and depressed. I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you so much Kassie!!!
Thank you for this. I get trapped in the routine and my thoughts probably a bit more than it is necessary... I keep to analyze, evaluate and reevaluate everything I do and everything that happens to me to an almost unhealthy extent. I find peace in nature. I just know that whatever the hardship I face the sky will be blue and the stars shining. Just looking at the infinity of nature calms me down and makes me feel thankful for being alive.
Your videos are stunning and i don't know why I'm only just finding you, you are a beautiful and these videos almost always make me cry - in a good way
I keep finding myself thinking "Wow, she's amazing" after every video of yours. Everything from the editing to the content. They're like mini-spa sessions. They leave me light and happy.
Seriously you are my favorite youtuber out there! Because you not only worry about the surface but you also care about what's inside which is so much more important and transcendental and I love the personal touch you put in every advice you give, it always makes it more real, greetings from Chile ! :D
I have always been in this dark place with life and only recently have I started looking into getting better and your videos are really helping thank you
I can watch this, your video on Happiness Takes Effort and How To Be Alone over and over again and feel inspired and motivated each time. I'm so glad to have found your channel and you.. and I swear I haven't given up yet because of you.
Thank you. x
Okay, my level of respect for you just skyrocketed after you mentioned Lana. She is just amaaaazing: genuine, talented, and so kind. I mean what kind of an artist performs for FREE at a celebrity's wedding? I just...I'm in love with her haha.
I love this! The positivity that you relay to your viewers through your videos is so consistent and contagious. I couldn't agree more about learning how to adapt and appreciate the time spent in solitary, it is so important to detox your mind. Love your videos! Keep 'em coming.
Your intelligence is inspiring and your loyalty and honesty is refreshing. Thanks
This is probably the best youtube video I have ever seen. I mean really see. It's truthful and full of life. I appreciate you sharing. I am also sorry about your sister. I have also lost a brother so the pain never subsides and you speaking about it, about her shows strength.
I love this! "How To Be Alone" helped me through a nasty depressive episode and a breakup.
I'm so sorry to hear about your sisters passing but she sounded like an amazing person and so caring I thought it was such a thoughtful and beautiful idea for her to draw your friend and show him what she sees through her eyes and thanks for the video I actually really want to the read the book you recommended in this video it's nothing that I've read before and I want to try something new, thanks!
i think the one about kassie's sister's drawing for her friend's scar is beautiful. ♥
Omg this is such a inspiring/fun video.. i love when you make this kinda videos
I am so glad I came across this video because I am currently going through this and I feel so lost and numb. You put everything so eloquently - I couldn't have said it better myself (and I want to be a writer so the way words are put together means a lot to me).
Well, this video gave me so many feels. And I loved the final part of the video. You two are so great together ♥
Thank you so much for your videos, Kassie!
This video turned out to be extremely relevant to me at this point in my life as it was becoming easier for me to attach myself to negative emotions and painful memories as those were the only kind that could truly make me "feel" anything. I'm slowly learning to fill the feelings of emptiness with positivity and reawaken emotions I once thought were dead. Surprisingly, I'm finding my own happiness and completeness in myself, not so much through other people. It's like I was searching for something that was there the whole time :)
my definition of beautiful darkness is Marina & The Diamond's album "Electra Heart". People think it's just superficial bubblegum pop, but there is soooo much darkness to the album if you dig down in the lyrics and combine them with the tone of the songs. It's a very complex album, and I hate to be "2deep4u"-ish, but I don't think alot of people really get it hahaha. Marina is a genious. And I love that "Electra Heart", her "personality" on the album, is named after a greek tragedy. There's soooooo many details and puns in the album, it's brilliant. And very beautiful. ANYWAYS, hahaha, great vid ♥
Movies. Movies make me feel passionate and alive. Certain films have just touched a part of me and awakened it, that I'm not sure anything else could.
Wonderful list, I'm excited to check some of these out!
Lana del Rey is a big inspiration for me, her music is very relatable and above all REAL. The way she portrays life's struggles and glorious moments are like nothing I ever listened to before. I totally get what you mean :)
Throughout this video, I kept wanting to thumbs it up MULTIPLE times. This was wonderful and inspiring. Keep making these amazing videos!!
I'm genuinely happy that I stumbled upon your channel today. Thank you for allowing us to see bits of who you are. You have no idea how much you can help a person with simply embracing yourself regardless of the circumstances. Be happy and stay awesome!
Greetings from Saudi.
Something that makes me feel happy is actually your voice, it is so soothing . I just love it :)
You really do have such a talent for making youtube videos. Your videos are art and you find so many different subjects to touch on. :)
You're a beautiful person Kassie, inside and out! Thank you for such a refreshing and interesting video!
Okay it just amazes me how much I agree with everything you say but I'm so bad with words it's hard for me to convey how I really feel in a way that everyone can understand. You are one smart inspiring woman thank you for these videos! :)
The book The Fault in Our Stars makes me feel. It has so many interesting ideas about how we should live our lives and treasure each moment, since all time is limited and we will all be forgotten anyway.
I love it when you make videos like this, it's awesome to know some more things about your philosophy and how you see life. Your videos make me feel
Ray Bradbury makes my mind feel alive. Painting to music awakens my feels as well as a decent anime.
I love all of your videos, but this one in particular actually made me get some feels, lol. I love how you describe your sister and her artwork was just so mind blowing on a level deeper than just the physical painting.
I also found miss Lana during a dark point in my life, I like to give her music a bit of credit for helping pull me out of it.
Again, I love this video. So many videos I never comment on even if i'm a loyal subscriber because I just don't find it necessary. But what makes you FEEL, truly FEEL is something I question everyday. For me, my Hijab makes me feel so much more than everything else. I have always struggled with low self-esteem, and I feel I look so much more beuatiful with my hair out and my makeup on. But go out everyday with a bare face and piece of fabric covering my head forces me to define my beauty in other ways. It forces me to be beautiful with actions and words instead of looks and appearance. And I always question my beliefs, because if I can win a debate with my own self between to opposing view points that both have compelling logic, then I know what I believe is sound and true for me. Life without feeling, is merely existing.
your advice videos never cease to amaze me. Truly a well spoken woman. Love your taste on how to go about life and happy for you that you get to have someone like your bf that think so similarly, yet, still manage to have those healthy differences that help complement one another. Keep doing you girl!
Ah I just loved this video. Honestly though I just love you and all of your videos! haha I think it might have to do with the way in which you speak to us with honest care, and it feels like you're actually a friend giving good advice. I just recently started watching your videos and you have become one of my favorites already. I feel like you just have so much to share and yet you seem to be so kind and humble. What you are doing is just great because your outlook on mental and physical health is different in a positive way. Anyway yes, keep doing what you're doing because I'm sure it makes plenty of us very happy :)
I love that you read Plato! I'm a Latin classical studies student at my university in Germany and because of that I also had to learn Ancient Greek and translate a lot of Plato's work. I love classical texts about philosophy, they can really open your eyes to a lot of things.
GOD DAMN IT KASSIE
RIGHT IN THE FEELS
you and Terry make my heart melt!
Kassima you are the best! Very inspiring, you are so open and honest with yourself and I think that's a great way to live. Sending positive vibes your way :D
Really great video! Thanks for the book recommendation. I also love Lana Del Rey. And your makeup looks great btw
Thank you so much for sharing these. I feel like I know you so much better..... I love Lana del Rey! I love how you share so much of your personal life with us..... Im so glad you found all the things you did in life to make you feel
I agree with you, there are times when just stepping back from the materialistic world and focus on our self is the best way to find yourself. So far, I'm not there yet. I wake up and do the same damn thing everyday, and am feeling very frustrated at this point. I want to be and do more, but do not know where to start.
Beautiful video Cassie, thank you for sharing these stories with us; it's wonderful to see how you and Terry both appreciate life and enjoy it to the fullest (and with the best of attitude every day). Take care my dear, and never stop feeding your soul with the pure love that it possesses.
Awwww. Just watching a video about things that make someone else happy has brought a smile to my face :) I love this video! You seriously make me want to write a blog or something... I dunno, I just feel inspired by your creativity. Thank you for this video, thinking about the positive is definitely needed in my life right now. I've felt a little lost and uninspired by where my life seems to be heading, and this reminder that there's always something to look forward to/to smile about was just wonderful to watch.
ps. I LOVE your hair in this video
Music in general is what makes me feel. I find I can cry and fall in love with a piece of music more than a celebrity or a film. Music moves me in many ways people can't. I love Lana Del Rey too. Her voice and music is so therapeutic and hypnotic. It's great to see someone appreciate her music as much as I and others do :)
So beautiful, thankyou for sharing. It's funny that the catalyst for change normally comes out if a negative experience. Alan watts, the philosopher was my ticket to feel land. That and lana del rey!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Tbh, I still havent completely found myself, however I feel as though I am getting closer and closer each day (: A few days ago one of my friends came out and it was amazing; he posted it on facebook and it was just so sincere. That made me feel for the first time in...a long time. I really want to just throw myself out there and not hold back like the shy person I usually am. Seeing your video and my friend's heartfelt confession has made me realize that I have nothing to fear anymore, so from now on I'm going to try my best to be myself if that makes any sense. Thanks again Kassie, your videos are always so inspiring and different from the other youtubers. You're so down to earth and I admire you so much! Keep making more videos haha :DD
This is just amazing, thank you Kassie! Im at my lowest right now and i feel numb to almost everything. Im not happy, not just sad either. It sucks and its affecting how im doing in sch. But with this, im determine to change. Slowly. Thanks once again!
this is my favorite video you've done yet Kassie I love it! Thank you!
"There's power in knowing what you believe, even after considering the alternative." I found that to be such a powerful statement and beautifully said.
I remember you recommended that book to me a few months ago..it really is beautiful and epic and completely left me enthralled!
Not sure why but this video bought tears to my eyes Kassie...
You put so much thought into everything you do and I love you for that!! Xoxo
I am torn between the options of liking and favouriting your video, when in reality i love and want to cherish your words and as ypu put it passion in my heart and memory. Truly it's people like you who dont let me give up pn trying to make others smile, to inspire them and have them rralize the beauty they always had and will have. Thank you for your beautiful words.
Such an honest, creative and inspiring video. You are quickly becoming my favourite youtuber. You express yourself so well and I love that you are always trying out new video styles and content. Thank you for being you! And for sharing it with us :)
Awesome video, Kassie :) Good content and beautiful illustrations
the song ride is truly touching...a peeking window to my past. Thank you friend!
Kassie, you're truly inspiring :) And I have to agree with you about Lana Del Rey. Her music is absolutely amazing and timeless. Her albums were all that I'd listen to during my University commute and they're very powerful too (Ride / This Is What Makes Us Girls and Born To Die are my favourites!) :)
Love your videos!
I love Lana Del Rey, she is the only one singer, whose songs just speak to me so much.. Her music saved me many times, it's amazing.. And you and Terry are wonderful together! I wish you all the best Kessie, you are very inspiring :) take care
Great video once again! I'm always excited when I see a new vid from you. What makes me feel is writing. I am in a difficult situation but when I write it makes me feel so happy
This was just speechless like all your videos are amazing but this one I could relate to a lot like the one about your sister making the painting reminded me a lot of someone I lost who was an amazing person also thanks so much for making videos and being so inspiring and open with your fans your literally just so wow :D
Hi Kassie!
I only recently realised that I had just been breathing and not really living. What awakened me were a few books and some videos here on youtube. The values that are passed on from generation to generation are not sort of able to answer the larger questions of life and I think that is the reason why most of us are troubled. Like you, I recently started to question things and I happy that I did :) It has made me to some extent who I am today and who I want to be tomorrow :)
girllll! yes. i feel you. yup! been there. its awesome that you found some things to give you inspiration again. its empowering to know that you can overcome!!!! whoo hoo!
Diotema's speech in Plato's Symposium. so many feels!
Things that get me passionate (aside from cleaning and organizing my appartement...), music/playing piano, it's soothing and calming me, best stress reilef I've found so far !
and Lana Del Rey.... Amazing !!!! ^^
