    I'm a 70 yr old lady in Texas. I have tasted many of my dreams when i was your age and over the years, but never made it closer to Paris than Charles De Gaulle Airport. Now I watch your channel and vicariously live one of my other dreams thru your fabulous wild woman videos. You recognize your life as the work of art it is. I am now living another dream... having no responsibility except to wake up in the morning and continue the work of art. You will make an excellent crone one day :) oh yeah, and it is always worth it!

    I’ve never commented before, but your carousel story really resonated with me. I’m separated from my husband, and when he moved out I ran out of coffee, and went to the store to buy more. While I was standing there, reaching for the coffee he had bought for years, I realized I could buy any coffee I wanted. So I did. When I got home I was so happy and I told my teenage son how silly it was I was happy over this alt coffee. And he looked at me, so serious, and said “mom, I’m proud of you” and it really hit me, in that moment. I needed that, I didn’t realize it.
    So I’m proud of you for going back to that carousel, shayna. It was all worth it.

    I'm a 17 year old from a tiny town in Brazil and I just want to say that you have truly changed my life Shayna.
    Ever since I was younger I always noticed that I didn't exactly fit "in" with other people around me, while I was daydreaming about wearing dresses and travelling abroad all my classmates were playing soccer or doing normal things kids do. I was very shy at that time and I never really expressesed myself like I wished I could have - I learned to ignore all those crazy ideas and to just follow the norm of what others were doing around me. I felt like I didn't have the right to show the world how I felt and what I thought.
    But after discovering your channel, close to 2 years ago now I think, and just watching you GROW as a person and be more and more unapologetically who you wanted to be I finally learned that I could also do that. I started painting, and dancing, and sculpting and doing so many other things that made me discover what being free truly meant. I started dressing however I wanted to and not caring for any negative things other people had to say about me, if i was too feminine or dressed too weird or was too happy why the hell should i care about it? i was openly LIVING my OWN life, building my OWN happiness and choosing my OWN good friends. I allowed myself to FEEL whatever I felt and THINK whatever I thought.
    And you were the person who started that change in me. Seeing you be so confident made me feel that way as well, and I can't thank you enough for that. Of course, I am still just a high-schooler and I don't yet live in the ''real world'' that is adulthood, but I am absolutely (!) sure that when I do go off into that world I will be at least a little bit more prepared than I would be if i hadn't ran across you and your channel. And I can confidently say now that it was all worth it, and it will forever be as long as I can live and build my own path ❤️. Thank you so much!

    Tears of joy rolling down my cheeks hearing you talk about going back to the carousel for yourself; I have been so moved by your entire journey and honestly been in absolute awe at how you've dealt with things so graciously, sensitively and intelligently, taking it all in your stride. You hone in on the importance/value in the small things we do for ourselves, not letting a minute of this life simply wash over you, even in the most painful of times you are so willing to experience everything and deny yourself nothing. Your continual fearlessness is inspiring, you deserve the world xox

It’s the worst feeling. But when I have just gone for it, you’re right, it’s always worth it. Thank you for reminding me of this.
    Yesterday I took a sketchbook to the beach and it was really nice, but that morning I almost didn’t go because it felt dumb or lonely or something. But I’m glad I went.

    Congratulations on your achievement! It was all worth it! You had me crying with you during your carousel story. It was the perfect ending and start to your new life. I hope to visit Paris again and ride it once more. Thank you for sharing your vision and your words of encouragement. A thought ran through my mind mid video. “What are you waiting for? Leap and the net will appear!”

    It was all worth it, my love! I am in a relationship with the person I plan to spend my life with, but watching this, especially the portion following the divorce, reminded me how beautiful it is to be in love with oneself. You reminded me to take myself on the dates and adventures I want to go on. I love my partner, but I will always be my first love and most important relationship

    I can so relate to your divorce story. I separated really recently from my partner and it was similar to the carousel story. We were just different and I couldn't fault him for not wanting to do everything that I wanted to do. I realized I had to go on my own adventure because I am such a lover of new experiences and I couldn't feel like myself in that relationship.

    You make me feel brave. I went to cosmetology school for myselfel when i was told to be a nurse. I was going to school to prepare to be a nurse. Then i ended up getting sick and having brain surgery. When i was strong enough, i had half a head of growing back hair and the other half waist length hair, I secretly enrolled into beauty school. My parents were so disappointed when i finally told them. But I love it. And im passionate about it. And I feel like my own hero now after 11years from graduating.
    Thank you for giving me that. I love you so much. You're a gem💎

    I never comment under videos but this video meant so much to me. Today was my last day at school. I'm never going to enter this building ever again. I expected myself to freak out a little just like my friends did who all feel so afraid right now. I think I am going to start crying because honestly these last six years at this stupid school were the worst for me yet teached me so much. I don't miss the past, I look back at that time with gratitude. It teached me a lot about people, about myself and my dreams.
    I am so incredibly proud of you, Shayna! You can't believe how much I've been growing with you behind the screen. I started therapy in January and got diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder but after so many months of struggling with dissociations, doubts and reflection of childhood trauma I believe so much in myself. You've played such a big role in my journey, being sincere and honest in front of the camera and always finding words of hope - you truly are my light!
    I know the future of the Palace Family is going to be amazing, so happy that I found you.
    Thank you so much!
