2017 was the year I first discovered and came obsessed with your videos! It was also the same time I was in the second year of university and living away from my parents. Your content was so motivating to me during university, but it’s crazy to see how evolved I’ve become since then and have adopted a more “relaxed” approach to motivation, as opposed to the toxic “girl boss” way I was back then. Time flies.
Sometimes I go back to these videos just for the nostalgia. It's funny to see how you, not knowing me, made such a huge difference in my life and was a catalyst of many changes I've been through, and for that I'll be forever grateful. I found you in 2016 when I still lived in Brazil and had just spent a month in Arizona, I remember going through this process of reevaluating all my life when I came back and finding out that I was trapped in a life I didn't love. Didn't love my career path, didn't have many true friends, felt like I couldn't be myself and had just found out that the place I came from didn't satisfy me and there was a whole world to explore. Your youtober 2017 was when I found out I wanted to move to Canada. And here I am, 4 years living in Ontario and it all started with your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us, seeing you live your authentic life, go through all these different eras and finding yourself gave me the courage to pursue my own path. 💜
It is so nostalgic watching these videos because I’m now a mom with 3 kids but in this era I was in exactly the same place as you were In life in terms of living alone and I feel like in a weird way we grew up together. Watching these videos brings me back because I remember being in my old apartments and looking to you for inspiration. Thanks for always showing up as you are ❤
I still love rewatching vlogs from when kalyn lived alone since I'm a military wife and spend all of my time alone I get ideas of ways to spend my time.
I was 17 at the time watching you all the time before and after school , trying to make my bullet journals/planners look as cute as yours 😭 wishing I had a cute little dog like Bentley ❤️ Now being 23 and watching your old videos when you were 23 is crazy to me ! I’ve definitely held on to some life lessons from then to now ❤️ thanks for always sharing the best content ! You’re like therapy !!
I just finished watching your 2016 'reacting to old videos' video, and then came watch to this one.. And I just wanted to say that it's sooo beautiful to see you look at your old self with so much love in this video!! Like the way a mother looks at her child.. The look in your eyes while watching your old self shows the work you've been doing the past years.. I'm so proud of you!! You've been one of my biggest inspirations since 2017 and I will always be grateful to have found you on UA-cam and that you allow us to be part of your journey cause it has definitely made a huge (and positive) impact on my own! (I hope what I say makes sense, my English is not the best) Keep being you Kalyn!!! Much love ❤️❤️❤️
Youtober 2017 was literally a core memory for me. It helped and changed be so much, I'm not even completely sure how or why. It helped with my motivation, self confidence, and happiness and taught me to enjoy the moment and curate my life in a way i never knew how. Thank you Kalyn ❤❤❤❤❤
Watching this and what you said in the last couple of minutes made me realise why I resonated so hard with you when I found your content back in 2015. The long girl syndrome, I had it too. I remember watching your videos wishing I was as brave and skilled as you to become an influencer but also secretly wishing if I was that our paths would cross because anytime you'd talk about your anxiety. Although my anxiety and panic attacks happened for different reasons I always felt like we'd have so much in common and to relate on. I'd often find too that you'd make videos on subjects or things I was thinking about which was always weird but comforting to know I wasn't alone or you'd share something that would reflect situations or lessons I was navigating in my own life, it was bizarre but I was there for it! Also I just loved how you created and had a UA-cam channel at such a young age, doing something like that, that you ran by yourself and all the skills you'd have to have to think of videos, then the filming, setting up shots, what equipment you'd need, the editing and it blew my mind that you knew how to do all that as well as the bravery to create and share like you did. I mean I still love your content and style now for sure. But it just hit me why I felt so connected to you without even knowing you as I was quite lonely back then too, struggling but bossing my way through uni as a 28year old. Plus I always felt like as much as I was older you seemed wiser and more together with your direction and motivation which always inspired me. I've learnt a lot from you over the years, so glad you where creating and sharing and still are now 🤗
I have always LOVED Youtober but this era is one of my favorites 🥰 I was so disorganized in every aspect of my life and couldn't figure out how to get out of the rut and these videos are SO inspiring! I'm so grateful you had the bravery to put yourself out there online because you absolutely helped my mental and physical health and my apartment had never looked so adorable 😅
This is the year that I started following you 😊 I was down a bit because I got a heart attack at a young age and I survived thank God but I found you and you kept me going and making me laugh and I always got up looking forward to seeing another video of you and in all you always kept going no matter what and that pushed me to get up and keep going no matter what. Thank you!
I've watched your videos for years❤️❤️❤️ seeing how much you have grown and become an amazing woman but also growing with you and seeing the changes in myself too is honestly so beautiful🥹🥹
2017 was the year I discovered you and your channel. It was actually the calm before the storm for me regarding my health. I remember finding your videos and feeling like I found a 'big sister' in a way. I had to rediscover your videos a couple years later, but I still feel that way even now. Your videos have been a source of joy, inspiration, and comfort for me for a long time now
god i feel old, i think this was the first youtober i was here for! i remember these videos vividly and i remember how much i loved your old apartment and would wish i could live in an apartment like that when i grew up. crazy to think i am living in my own apartment now and we can all be here to rewatch these videos 6 years later :D
You grew me up through my teenage years ❤ especially in 2017 I was all about to see a new routine of yours and you were on the top of my favourites and surely a part of my day I don’t usually comment on videos but I would like you to know that you were such a great influence for me and you are the reason why I built my character as I did and for who I am today I had a long time to catch up with your channel, about 4-5 years And especially this video socks me a bit from realising the changes in your life since that time and makes me feel nostalgic too ❤️ Thank you for making content like this and wish you the best
I am here for this series ❤ It feels the same as Taylor Swift releasing vault tracks, you tell us parts of the story we didn’t know about 🥰 At the time I have just moved to a different country (didn’t know at the time it was the beginning of healing my trauma) and I remember I absolutely loved watching your videos. You have inspired my girl boss phase as I was very lonely and thought if I’ll be more productive and successful I will feel better 😂 Watching your videos feels like watching an old friend. I have also grown since then so it’s nice to listen to your perspective on those times too❤️
2017 is the year I started following you, I found your channel in July 2017 my mum had just passed away a couple of months before and I found joy and motivation by watching your videos since then I started using UA-cam more, and like opened my eyes to the world of vlogging, lifestyle, and self-help videos which still motivate me and cheer me up❤❤ As someone suffering from anxiety and mental health issues, I felt happy that someone understands how I feel and that I am not alone in this. Watching you now and seeing how far you have come, and how mature you are now makes me proud 😍 The part where you reacted about the San Francisco trip and feeling that you should have been more grateful or if you had filmed it now it would been different is a sign of how amazing, grounded, mature you are now ❤❤ You wouldn't have felt this grateful now without living that past experience and it applies to all of us. Keep going Kalyn❤❤❤ I don't how it could happen but I really wish to meet you one day.. You are welcome to come to Cairo Egypt and I will show you everything 😍😄🥰🥰
I started following you in that year and I remember looking at you with such inspiration and motivation to be better and do more. And now I still look at you with a lot of inspiration but just to be myself, to heal, to allow myself to find my way. It's funny how things change but still kinda remain the same
In 2017 I was still living with my parents, half way through University. It was such a hard year... But watching your videos was really comforting and inspiring, your life looked exactly how I wished mine did. As always, thank you for your videos, Kalyn
I’m so glad ur doing this series, bc I used to watch back then too, and back then I was like wow she is perfect, her life is perfect, idk how I could ever live up to that. But clearly it wasn’t perfect!
WOW! Did not expect to be in my feels watching this video...I remember watching your videos and thinking "This is what I want to aspire to" (in the most sincere, chill way possible). To see you open up and share the behind-the-scenes was almost healing in a way. This is also made me reflect on where I was 6 years ago and I have the sweetest feeling of nostalgia. Crazy to think how time flies - I feel like it was just yesterday that I watched your morning routine video. Thank you for sharing your life with us :)
Maybe this is to honest for a UA-cam comment but oh well. I remember this year of Youtober so vividly. I had lost my sister that previous spring. I had just moved in to my first apartment alone. And I also didn’t have a lot of friends at that point in my life. And I know it’s very one sided especially then. Less so now. But at that time I leaned in to your channel hard. So thanks for being here. Always!
Late to the party but I still listen to the Sweater Weather playlist, it makes me so happy. I love all the music you introduced me to. It's so nice to see you so comfortable in your own skin and happy In 2017 I was watching YouTober, got engaged, and finally got sober. It was a huge turning point in my life.
You've come so far and grown into yourself so well, it's beautiful to see. I can see it in your face now vs. then, you look sooo relaxed and comfortable in your own skin now 🙂
Really loving these videos! You deserve to be proud of yourself! 23-year old Kalyn was already really cool and brave, and all the work and healing you've done since then has led you to become the person you are today. ❤
I LOVE seeing your reaction videos to old videos!🫶 I lile seeing your thoughts and perspectives of your filming style and life back then seeing how far you've come over those years until now🥰 it also cool because I still rewatch all your videos from 2016 until now in 2023😅
I remember these!! I'm not sure I was following you but UA-cam 2016, BUT I definitely was by 2017. Maybe I started following you earlier that year. I always thought you often sounded so wise at so young, and I was in my late 40's feeling less than and so behind in my personal development. Plus, I was deep in major depression and spending 90 % of my time alone. Mostly still have up until now. I recently started a new job and it's full time.
These videos feel like you're releasing your "from the vault tracks" from from old videos. I loved your videos as much back then as I love them right now. Thank you so much for everything ♥
2017 I remember I left for basic training it was a tough year of life. But shortly afterwards I started my first year of college and you came to my timeline. ❤ I’ve been a follower since. 🙌🏾 I gotta say you have a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing yourself with the internet. Happy Fall 🧡🖤🧡🖤
Ahh 2017!! I had already been following you for awhile at that point but this was a big transition year for me- I had experienced a big breakup and was working three jobs to keep life together- one of which was as a survivor advocate & I would work nights so sometimes it was incredibly busy, but other nights I’d just put your videos on to remind myself to lean into the seasons; I was also living alone with my soul dog & trying to figure life out. Love that you can hold gratitude for that version of yourself too ☺️ we were all so young 🥹
2017 was one of the worst years of my life. I had finally left my abusive relationship after some very traumatic events and having been already a huge follower; I distinctly remember looking forward to UA-camr and just having great content to keep me distracted and not feeling so alone. I know you struggled a lot with mental health and being an influencer trying to create a path for yourself but I am so incredibly glad and grateful looking back that you pushed through and continued to create❤
I think this was the year I found you and your videos 😍 I moved away from home for the first time and your videos (especially Youtober, when I was all alone in a new town) really saved me and helped me feel less lonley ❤️❤️ I remember watching your videos before school and it being a way to help me get out of bed in the morning ❤️ Still love your videos, I'm so glad I found your channel! 😍 I think I might have seen some Youtober-videos the year before but only started watching your channel "for real" 2017 😍
Wow. I’ve seen some of these but I found you I think in 2017 and look! VALENTINA!! Still going strong. I also loved that typewriter sounding intro. And god, now I’m remembering how many times you rearranged your apartment, especially that bedroom
I remember 2017 morning routine being the first video I ever saw from you. I was a confused teenager not knowing how to live my life and manage simple tasks, but then your videos inspired me to wake up in the morning and set a routine, I even started to slowly enjoy fall and the cold weather- I was really negative teen- however your "cheerleader" energy made me smile anytime I watched your videos. The nostalgia of you moving into your own apartment and me wanting to do the same in the future and be independent. I took you as my I can say a guardian to shaping my life. Now I moved into my own apartment and I feel like I made the dream of my teen-self come true. You now have a house and a family, while I started finally living on my own, yet you still inspire me to live my life to the fullest even on the bad days. Thank you Kalyn for being honest with us and not just showing us the perks of your life and for forming my life as well. 😊
I also found you during Youtober 2017 and I was obsessed because I had moved to Toronto the previous year and lived in my first apartment and I wanted to have your life, lol. It’s so sad but I actually still watch these videos to this day because I find them comforting and fun and I loved the effort you put into them. I remember getting into a major like cute apartment clean apartment grabbing coffee with my dog eating spaghetti and meatballs (I was vegan!) and drinking tons of cheap wine era.
I remember watching this Youtober after moving to a different country. These videos made me feel less lonely, and helped me to stay motivated and on track 🧡 🧡
I found your channel in 2017 and never left 💙🫂 you made me feel less alone in the hardest years of my life. Thank you for being here, Kalyn. Love you 💙
This is so nostalgic because 2017 was the year I discover your channel and started being an active viewer. I've watched you grow and I've grown with you. I love your content Kalyn!
In 2017 I finished high school and went on a 2 month trip to Toronto. I chose it because I found your videos a year before, and I loved the vibe of the city. It was lonely but very good for me, and I ended up discovering a passion for programming, on my laptop in various cafés around the city. Now I’m back in Sweden, stydying my last year of my master’s degree in computer science 🧡
I started watching you in 2016 and this was my first youtuber and it brought back so many feels.. also didn't realize I'd been watching literally every video of yours for that long!
I'm pretty sure I found your channel in 2017 or 2018. I remember i had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and was temporarily living with my mom again (and also taking care of her because she was ill). It was one of the hardest times in my life, but your videos helped me stay on track as best as I could.
oh my god telling your 23 year old self that she just needs to enjoy her life.... i FELT that. Kalyn, you and I are the same age so when you're looking back on your old self I always find I have a lot to tell little me too. Thanks for sharing. ♥
Loved your inspirational productive videos, since 2017 ✨️ you're gorg 💖 Downloaded that and forgot I was terrible at math, so the alarm continued to wake up the house 😆
2017 was the year I moved out of my home state after leaving an abusive relationship. Beginning the healing process with family around was really good for providing a little guidance and encouragement to get out there and try things I wasn’t able to before because of my ex stopping me from going out and doing things for myself. I’m so happy I had the determination and the means to leave and start a new life.
I literally had flashback to the moment I was watching this event video where you were in the hotel room and talked about having panic attack or anxiety. I used to suffer from heavy social anxiety and panic attacks. I felt so seen and not alone in this moment. 🥺
You judge yourself too harshly by the way you’re judging your former self. She’s a mirror, and don’t forget that mirror was helpful and inspiring to so many, even across continents. None of us are perfect. Cut yourself some slack
In 2017 I discovered your Chanel and since then have been a huge fan of yours ❤ around that time I moved out on my own and you definitely inspired me to do so, I was able to check off obtaining my Pinterest worthy apartment off my bucket list ❤ thank you for being you xo
It's crazy how long I'm following your channel and how far you have come in all the years. I still remember the first video I have seen, I believe it was your first apartment with your ex boyfriend or something like this 💖 You're such a beautiful soul and your videos still bring me down when I have anxiety or stress in my life. 🥰
Omg. Im such a cheezeball. Crying over here... those vlogs helped me so much, was going through a hard time right then. Also, it has been so much fun to watch you grow through the years.
I actually hate the feeling of nostalgia and tend not to think about my past because of it. I would have such a hard time confronting that feeling if I had videos to look back on. But what an interesting way to reflect on how far you’ve come!
In 2017 October i had a 1 month old baby struggling to get my head around being a single mom. I remember all these vlogs they were my special me time and kepts me going and for that i thank you much love from B.C.❤❤😊
When I watched Youtober 2017, I had just started university, met my now best friends during fresher's week. I moved out of my parents' house and prepared to move in with my boyfriend the following month (still happily living in the same apartment with him). And currently I'm preparing to write my master's thesis. Such a weird and awesome feeling at the same time 😮
I think I discovered you shortly after this youtober!! (Pretty sure it was very early 2018, gotta love the new year planning vids) but I have every one of the playlists in this video saved 😂
oh wow! this video was such a fun hit of nostalgia. I definitely remember watching these back in 2017! I remember going through my own drama, still trying to find happiness and my place in the world. Now, 6 years later, my husband and I are expecting our first child!!
I remember i did you dead makeup look and your scarecrow - i think two separate years even! Haha fun to reminisce with you. Now im taking my two kids trick or treating, hoping to do a quick dog makeup look!
Hey, I am here what feels like forever, still remember your old Apartment in Kingston which you shared with your roommate😂 I watched all the youtober Videos it was / is such a inspiration, even with the knowledge a lot is staged😂 I have grown older with you and now we are both Mamas which sounds crazy to me😂 You were Always giving me big sister vibes. I Love that WE still can hang Out from time to time 😂❤ Love your Work!
And actually, to answer the prompt at the end… I was living with my parents and HATING it. I was 26 and had just gotten back together with my long term boyfriend I was with since 2012 but broke up with him basically to teach him a lesson (that he never learned). I was still trying to be a beachbody coach but I was working in an office job trying to find my big break so I could afford living on my own. 3 years later, I broke up with that guy and moved out of my parents. 3 years after that, now, I’m doing a COMPLETELY different profession as a personal trainer, making more than I ever have, and loving my life so much more. 6 years. Wow
Fall of 2017 I had my first semester of college early that year I finished high school and also I got my first mini trampoline and went to a Justin Bieber concert
I’ve been watching Youtober from the very beginning . The reason why I love fall is because of your videos, they bring me so much comfort. 💗💗 I wish I got koze merch when I had the chance 😭🥹
2017 was the year I first discovered and came obsessed with your videos! It was also the same time I was in the second year of university and living away from my parents. Your content was so motivating to me during university, but it’s crazy to see how evolved I’ve become since then and have adopted a more “relaxed” approach to motivation, as opposed to the toxic “girl boss” way I was back then. Time flies.
Mine was 2016. I'm getting 2016-2018 vibes from this season, kalyn is in.
SAME
Literally same!!
Sometimes I go back to these videos just for the nostalgia.
It's funny to see how you, not knowing me, made such a huge difference in my life and was a catalyst of many changes I've been through, and for that I'll be forever grateful.
I found you in 2016 when I still lived in Brazil and had just spent a month in Arizona, I remember going through this process of reevaluating all my life when I came back and finding out that I was trapped in a life I didn't love. Didn't love my career path, didn't have many true friends, felt like I couldn't be myself and had just found out that the place I came from didn't satisfy me and there was a whole world to explore.

Thanks for sharing your life with us, seeing you live your authentic life, go through all these different eras and finding yourself gave me the courage to pursue my own path. 💜
Ugh, my comfort videos ♡♡♡ I rewatch these ALL THE TIME. Especially to get into the fall mood.
Me too!!! Such a vibe 🍂🍂🍂
It is so nostalgic watching these videos because I’m now a mom with 3 kids but in this era I was in exactly the same place as you were In life in terms of living alone and I feel like in a weird way we grew up together.

Now being 23 and watching your old videos when you were 23 is crazy to me ! I’ve definitely held on to some life lessons from then to now ❤️ thanks for always sharing the best content ! You’re like therapy !!
I'm so ready for another 5-6 years when you react to videos from this year 🍂 you're incredible Kalyn!!

Your morning routine videos and vlogs put me in such a good mood for the day, for life. Thank you for years of good mood.

You grew me up through my teenage years ❤ especially in 2017 I was all about to see a new routine of yours and you were on the top of my favourites and surely a part of my day
I don’t usually comment on videos but I would like you to know that you were such a great influence for me and you are the reason why I built my character as I did and for who I am today
I had a long time to catch up with your channel, about 4-5 years
And especially this video socks me a bit from realising the changes in your life since that time and makes me feel nostalgic too ❤️ Thank you for making content like this and wish you the best
I am here for this series ❤ It feels the same as Taylor Swift releasing vault tracks, you tell us parts of the story we didn’t know about 🥰
At the time I have just moved to a different country (didn’t know at the time it was the beginning of healing my trauma) and I remember I absolutely loved watching your videos.

Late to the party but I still listen to the Sweater Weather playlist, it makes me so happy. I love all the music you introduced me to. It's so nice to see you so comfortable in your own skin and happy
In 2017 I was watching YouTober, got engaged, and finally got sober. It was a huge turning point in my life.
Love you so much as a human being! Your videos will forever be my favorite thing ever!
You've come so far and grown into yourself so well, it's beautiful to see. I can see it in your face now vs. then, you look sooo relaxed and comfortable in your own skin now 🙂
Really loving these videos! You deserve to be proud of yourself! 23-year old Kalyn was already really cool and brave, and all the work and healing you've done since then has led you to become the person you are today. ❤
I LOVE seeing your reaction videos to old videos!🫶 I lile seeing your thoughts and perspectives of your filming style and life back then seeing how far you've come over those years until now🥰 it also cool because I still rewatch all your videos from 2016 until now in 2023😅
I remember these!!
I'm not sure I was following you but UA-cam 2016, BUT I definitely was by 2017.
Maybe I started following you earlier that year.
I always thought you often sounded so wise at so young, and I was in my late 40's feeling less than and so behind in my personal development.
Plus, I was deep in major depression and spending 90 % of my time alone.
Mostly still have up until now.
I recently started a new job and it's full time.
These videos feel like you're releasing your "from the vault tracks" from from old videos. I loved your videos as much back then as I love them right now. Thank you so much for everything ♥
It's amazing to see how fast time has gone by, I know you since 2016 or so, so it's nice to see old videos
2017 I remember I left for basic training it was a tough year of life. But shortly afterwards I started my first year of college and you came to my timeline. ❤ I’ve been a follower since. 🙌🏾 I gotta say you have a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing yourself with the internet. Happy Fall 🧡🖤🧡🖤
Ahh 2017!! I had already been following you for awhile at that point but this was a big transition year for me- I had experienced a big breakup and was working three jobs to keep life together- one of which was as a survivor advocate & I would work nights so sometimes it was incredibly busy, but other nights I’d just put your videos on to remind myself to lean into the seasons; I was also living alone with my soul dog & trying to figure life out. Love that you can hold gratitude for that version of yourself too ☺️ we were all so young 🥹
2017 was one of the worst years of my life. I had finally left my abusive relationship after some very traumatic events and having been already a huge follower; I distinctly remember looking forward to UA-camr and just having great content to keep me distracted and not feeling so alone. I know you struggled a lot with mental health and being an influencer trying to create a path for yourself but I am so incredibly glad and grateful looking back that you pushed through and continued to create❤
2017 is when I found your channel. The 2017 Youtober and Christmas videos have such a special place in my heart 🥰
I think this was the year I found you and your videos 😍 I moved away from home for the first time and your videos (especially Youtober, when I was all alone in a new town) really saved me and helped me feel less lonley ❤️❤️ I remember watching your videos before school and it being a way to help me get out of bed in the morning ❤️ Still love your videos, I'm so glad I found your channel! 😍 I think I might have seen some Youtober-videos the year before but only started watching your channel "for real" 2017 😍
Wow. I’ve seen some of these but I found you I think in 2017 and look! VALENTINA!! Still going strong. I also loved that typewriter sounding intro.
And god, now I’m remembering how many times you rearranged your apartment, especially that bedroom
I remember 2017 morning routine being the first video I ever saw from you. I was a confused teenager not knowing how to live my life and manage simple tasks, but then your videos inspired me to wake up in the morning and set a routine, I even started to slowly enjoy fall and the cold weather- I was really negative teen- however your "cheerleader" energy made me smile anytime I watched your videos. The nostalgia of you moving into your own apartment and me wanting to do the same in the future and be independent. I took you as my I can say a guardian to shaping my life. Now I moved into my own apartment and I feel like I made the dream of my teen-self come true. You now have a house and a family, while I started finally living on my own, yet you still inspire me to live my life to the fullest even on the bad days. Thank you Kalyn for being honest with us and not just showing us the perks of your life and for forming my life as well. 😊
🥲 wow, thank you so much for sharing this with me! In a very equal way, non-demeaning way, I am so proud of you!!
2017 was the year I found you on UA-cam. It's a core memory for me. Youtober helped me while I was dealing with my own struggles.
the way I was obsessed with these videos when I was 16
Lil Kalyn and Lil Bentley ♥️ thanks for doing another one of these! It’s so nostalgic to this OG!
I also found you during Youtober 2017 and I was obsessed because I had moved to Toronto the previous year and lived in my first apartment and I wanted to have your life, lol. It’s so sad but I actually still watch these videos to this day because I find them comforting and fun and I loved the effort you put into them. I remember getting into a major like cute apartment clean apartment grabbing coffee with my dog eating spaghetti and meatballs (I was vegan!) and drinking tons of cheap wine era.
I remember watching this Youtober after moving to a different country. These videos made me feel less lonely, and helped me to stay motivated and on track 🧡 🧡
I found your channel in 2017 and never left 💙🫂 you made me feel less alone in the hardest years of my life. Thank you for being here, Kalyn. Love you 💙
This is so nostalgic because 2017 was the year I discover your channel and started being an active viewer. I've watched you grow and I've grown with you. I love your content Kalyn!
In 2017 I finished high school and went on a 2 month trip to Toronto. I chose it because I found your videos a year before, and I loved the vibe of the city. It was lonely but very good for me, and I ended up discovering a passion for programming, on my laptop in various cafés around the city. Now I’m back in Sweden, stydying my last year of my master’s degree in computer science 🧡
I started watching you in 2016 and this was my first youtuber and it brought back so many feels.. also didn't realize I'd been watching literally every video of yours for that long!
I'm pretty sure I found your channel in 2017 or 2018. I remember i had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and was temporarily living with my mom again (and also taking care of her because she was ill). It was one of the hardest times in my life, but your videos helped me stay on track as best as I could.
Your videos help me so much over the years! I wanna thank you ❤
oh my god telling your 23 year old self that she just needs to enjoy her life.... i FELT that. Kalyn, you and I are the same age so when you're looking back on your old self I always find I have a lot to tell little me too. Thanks for sharing. ♥
Loved your inspirational productive videos, since 2017 ✨️ you're gorg 💖
Downloaded that and forgot I was terrible at math, so the alarm continued to wake up the house 😆
2017 was the year I moved out of my home state after leaving an abusive relationship. Beginning the healing process with family around was really good for providing a little guidance and encouragement to get out there and try things I wasn’t able to before because of my ex stopping me from going out and doing things for myself. I’m so happy I had the determination and the means to leave and start a new life.
I literally had flashback to the moment I was watching this event video where you were in the hotel room and talked about having panic attack or anxiety. I used to suffer from heavy social anxiety and panic attacks. I felt so seen and not alone in this moment. 🥺
You judge yourself too harshly by the way you’re judging your former self. She’s a mirror, and don’t forget that mirror was helpful and inspiring to so many, even across continents. None of us are perfect. Cut yourself some slack
In 2017 I discovered your Chanel and since then have been a huge fan of yours ❤ around that time I moved out on my own and you definitely inspired me to do so, I was able to check off obtaining my Pinterest worthy apartment off my bucket list ❤ thank you for being you xo
It's crazy how long I'm following your channel and how far you have come in all the years. I still remember the first video I have seen, I believe it was your first apartment with your ex boyfriend or something like this 💖 You're such a beautiful soul and your videos still bring me down when I have anxiety or stress in my life. 🥰
Omg. Im such a cheezeball. Crying over here... those vlogs helped me so much, was going through a hard time right then.
Also, it has been so much fun to watch you grow through the years.
omg love seeing Valentine behind you in real time and seeing it in your 2017 morning routine :D
Hahaha had totally forgotten about We ❤ It. Nostalgic ✨
What is the song playing in the 23:08 mark in the video ? I need it 😩
I was finishing my bachelors degree, a BIG FAN by the time this video came out. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
I vividly remember those videos it's like I have the morning routine one memorized 🧡🧡🧡
Girls, always be kind to your younger selfes. Much love❤
I actually hate the feeling of nostalgia and tend not to think about my past because of it. I would have such a hard time confronting that feeling if I had videos to look back on. But what an interesting way to reflect on how far you’ve come!
In 2017 October i had a 1 month old baby struggling to get my head around being a single mom. I remember all these vlogs they were my special me time and kepts me going and for that i thank you much love from B.C.❤❤😊
2017 I became a big fan of you, due to Youtober !!! ❤
Sweater weather is the best playlist. I loved it then and now
please keep making reacting to old videos
When I watched Youtober 2017, I had just started university, met my now best friends during fresher's week. I moved out of my parents' house and prepared to move in with my boyfriend the following month (still happily living in the same apartment with him). And currently I'm preparing to write my master's thesis. Such a weird and awesome feeling at the same time 😮
The nostalgia I have for these videos!
I remember this era All Too Well ❤
My introduction year!!! 🥹🥹🥹 EDIT: omg wait, was this the year of the French Press playlist on Spotify? 😭 that was the soundtrack to my life that year!
Omg the French press era!!! Loved that playlist!
@@jessilevesconte2351 you just made my day 😁
I still listen to sweater weather playlist when fall comes ❤
I think I discovered you shortly after this youtober!! (Pretty sure it was very early 2018, gotta love the new year planning vids) but I have every one of the playlists in this video saved 😂
Your videos had 9:40 me making calendars like I had a busy life lol 😅💕
I have been watching since before 2017! I remember all these videos. The costume one was so good 👌🏼
oh wow! this video was such a fun hit of nostalgia. I definitely remember watching these back in 2017! I remember going through my own drama, still trying to find happiness and my place in the world. Now, 6 years later, my husband and I are expecting our first child!!
I think it would be really cool to see you look back at your goal videos. I remember when you put yoga on your goal list and look at you now!
I really enjoy these videos ❤
I remember i did you dead makeup look and your scarecrow - i think two separate years even! Haha fun to reminisce with you. Now im taking my two kids trick or treating, hoping to do a quick dog makeup look!
Añways have and always will lobe your videos. Aleays transmitted goals calm and homeliness
Hey,
I am here what feels like forever, still remember your old Apartment in Kingston which you shared with your roommate😂
I watched all the youtober Videos it was / is such a inspiration, even with the knowledge a lot is staged😂
I have grown older with you and now we are both Mamas which sounds crazy to me😂
You were Always giving me big sister vibes.
I Love that WE still can hang Out from time to time 😂❤
Love your Work!
And actually, to answer the prompt at the end… I was living with my parents and HATING it. I was 26 and had just gotten back together with my long term boyfriend I was with since 2012 but broke up with him basically to teach him a lesson (that he never learned). I was still trying to be a beachbody coach but I was working in an office job trying to find my big break so I could afford living on my own.
3 years later, I broke up with that guy and moved out of my parents. 3 years after that, now, I’m doing a COMPLETELY different profession as a personal trainer, making more than I ever have, and loving my life so much more. 6 years. Wow
Is this the apartment where you used to move around everything?(:😅❤❤❤
Loveee your old videos. Definitely grown up with you
12:57 lol love the re-creation 😂
I love these videos so so much! I hope you continue doing them after youtober ❤
2017 was the year I really started to follow you and I remember wanting that apartment so badly 😂
i remember watching all these
I actually did the dead-girl one this year because I was at work and I got lazy 😂
Lol "the voice. The voice." 😆 we love an enthusiastic girly okay.
It was sooooo interesting. ❤❤ thank you for all ❤
The bently growl made me laugh out loud so cute.
Fall of 2017 I had my first semester of college early that year I finished high school and also I got my first mini trampoline and went to a Justin Bieber concert
Omg it feels like yesterday 🥹
I used to LOVE these videos.
I’ve been watching Youtober from the very beginning . The reason why I love fall is because of your videos, they bring me so much comfort. 💗💗 I wish I got koze merch when I had the chance 😭🥹
