    i love how Laurens and Romee matured together. Moving in at 18 is a HUGE step but they made it work. I'm surprised they've been dating for so long. The fact they made sure they went home or see family monthly, I think they grew more grounded and genuine. It's easy to get mixed with all the glam so it's nice she made sure her family, education, and her emotional state was always her priority. I used to have this pretty superficial and judgmental view of models but this girl's really opening my mindset. plus I'm also from Belgium so I relate to her even more. I love that she has that mindset of separating looks from being who she is and youtube is a great way to show how dimensional she is.

      Eileen Forester everyone has their own problems, everyone goes through different things, everyone perceives everything differently. Just cause you can‘t understand her way of feeling or you feel like it‘s just something small doesn‘t mean that she has to feel like that as well. If you don‘t go through the same thing, you won‘t be able to understand her, yes, but making it look like something „small“ or not taking it seriously is not okay.

      Cara why are you so full of hate or are you just immature? whatever the case is it all reflects badly on you. you don’t know EVERY. SINGLE. AMERICAN. WOMAN. & for you to use celebrities that do things on PURPOSE for fame & fortune as an example to speak on every single person is immature. not every single person is the same. just because the kardashains do what they do doesnt mean we all do that or act like that. also there is such a thing as compatibility with a person & some ppl get with their “first love” at a young age where they dont even know how to love themselves yet or let alone know how to love someone else. love isn’t one size fits all, love isn’t just found in one person. you’re either young, immature, or just delusional.

Instead of glorify a man who just acted like millions of weman in the world.

      VS has a certain brand, not only are they catwalk models but also the faces of VS and the modelling world is tough. Many women and girls work really hard to get to be an angel and even harder to get their wings. It takes a certain person to be able to reach that status so VS isn't about to change all of a sudden, no matter what the media has to say.

    Can I just say how much I admire you? There are so many models/celebrities out there that put on a happy face or maintain a certain persona just to look confident and collected all the time. I feel like you are one of the very few that actually allows your true self to shine through. You aren’t constantly worried about how you look or what you post and it makes your true beauty shine through! You come across so very genuine to me and of course it’s hard to know over social media who anyone really is, but I just think you are so very amazing Romee!!! Thanks for sharing your life and being so kind and real with us. :)

    Very inspirational story. I’m only 13 and used to be asked about modeling when i was younger but i was too young to really decide for myself so my mom said no and wanted to let me decide for myself as i got older. I haven’t been asked in a couple of years but I have been thinking about it and it seems like a tough but also incredible experience to be a model and I’d like to try it out. Thank you for sharing your story. You seem to have a very amazing personality and you are incredibly beautiful through my eyes. ❤️

    I’m 16 years old and have been a model since 14 and I’m literally going through the exact same struggles you were going through. With my weight gain and diets and doubting my career. This video really motivated me to keep trying! Thank you so much Romee💕

    So strong that she sits in front of the camera and open up about how she really felt. I mean she is a really successful model by now and I think it’s really brave to be that honest. So sorry that you had to experience all that stuff with Panik attacks! But so happy for you that it paid out! 🤍 wishing you and you future family only the best! Take care! ✨😚

    Wow, it's really really obvious that you're so grateful for the opportunities you have had, but you're also so honest with your struggles. I think that's very admirable. Thank you for sharing

    That's so emotional and warm in the same time, i really had a bad day today and i just watched this to try to distract myself of overthinking and am now so happy that i did watched it, everyone need to go through cons and harships so he or she can shape his personality and be happy and proud of himself in the near future.
    Hope that the storm will pass quickly on me and on everyone, hang in there guys.
    Much love💜💜💜💜💜
