You’re such a sweet soul! 🥹 I love how pure you are and how easy you cry because I do too 🥹 “you’re doing just fine” almost brought me to tears! I needed to see that today, never change Kiana!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The last write was so touching… I desperately needed to hear that
I normally never comment but Kianna you dont realize how much i i needed this video. I moved to montreal five months ago and I’ve been struggling to find my place, find an apartment, adapt to the weather and the people. I come from a hot and very welcoming country so whenever someone is nice to me here it just makes my day. And seeing that i am not the only one struggling makes me feel better and less alone. Love you and love your videos 💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing, we got this love and I love you too
what you said about latinos made my eyes water because it’s so goddamn true :’) i’m venezuelan and there really is a warmth to latin american people that i miss deeply whenever i’m not around it. i moved from miami to boston and it’s been ruffff whenever i come across a latin american person i’m immediately trying to extend my interaction with them for as long as possible lolol
i remember hearing that being a lil miserable your first month in NYC is like a right of passage, and that finding a community/friends to combat the loneliness that comes with living in a big city is like half the struggle (seems like you got the friend part figuered out ), so in time i imagine you'll settle in just fine👍👍🥰🥰
Trust, trust, trust the process. I moved to NYC from Atlanta 9 years ago and it was so lonely those first few months but I absolutely LOVE this city now. Have patience with yourself, be kind to yourself, celebrate yourself. You're attempting to conquer a massive city on your own which is dope as hell within itself so celebrate that courage! Celebrate that determination to not quit! Celebrate how you're giving yourself the space to evolve and grow! The city will get less lonely as you settle in and in the meantime: Cafe Erzulie and House of Yes in Brooklyn/PHD Lounge in Manhattan are all dope spots to dance your problems away. Keep your head up lovely, you're literally doing amazing!! ♥
Bookstores in the city: Greenlight books (Brooklyn) , Strand (Manhattan), Book-off [used bookstore best in the business] {Manhattan} McNally (bit expensive indie bookstore but its so pretty) [one by the pier in Manhattan, another in the mall on Fulton] there's also three lives & company in the village
i loooove your new york videos it truly feels like having a friend telling you a story ❤
Im 18. Im from South Africa and I also recently moved to a place I have never been before where i know no one. I have been feeling everything deeply too. YOU ARE doing just fine. I AM doing just fine
yes you are bb i’m proud of you
I would love a "what I'm doing in 2024" or just new years sit down video about life
Your energy is so refreshing
ive been loving the new york vlogs 💕💕
aww kianna, ny can definitely be rough but it has so many pockets of warmth and kindness too, and i’m so glad you found one. hoping your transition becomes smoother as you settle in
you inspire me, i adore your venturesome spirit 💞
you posted this at the right time you don’t even understand I’ll be moving in October to a new apartment ALONE in a whole new country for university and I was panicking and stressed of how it’ll go and how lonely it’ll get how I should be responsible and all this shit but you truly made me feel so much better knowing that it’s not always that easy thank you kianna I wish you the BEST time in New York it’ll be your era fr also please never stop smiling I love your smile
I completely relate to how you feel about your apartment Kianna, I moved from where I grew up to a completely different continent for school, my first one month was alright and chill cause I stayed in an Airbnb that was fully furnished, then I had to move out a month later, out of desperation I found this one room which at first I thought was a good choice cause it had its private bathroom until I moved in properly and started cleaning the room. I also cried to my parents on how frustrated I felt from trying to settle into school a foreign culture and then an old unfurnished house (emphasis on the OLD). Hopefully it'll get better for you, I'm still praying for mine.
I believe you’re one of the few creators I find so easy to watch you make a 20 min vid feel like 5 mins and the ending remark just love you so much I love seeing you wish you the best in nyc my love❣️
i love that you do let yourself be vulnerable in your videos, i appreciate you and wish godspeed to you as a fellow sensitive black girly
Awww this was so nice! I’ve lived in NY my whole life so I completely understand. But good for you for pushing through! I wish you all the best!
you are such a gem 🫶🏽 wishing you all the best
Loved everything about this video. A year ago I lived in Greece and I remember just having that same feeling you had about nyc. Trust me it gets better. I’m so proud of you.
I'm so glad that you're now settling into NY properly babes! Ik how it is navigating a new city since I moved half way across the world for uni and boy are the tears valid 🤣❤
i feel incredibly inspired and refreshed, a sense of rejuvenation for bringing my my dream lifestyle to fruition after watching one of your videos, thank you for always being real, muah muah :)
You're brave girl ❤ You're living life and learning every step of the way. Keep your head up, and wishing you all the best in this new chapter! 🙏🏾🫶🏾
awww kiannaaa!! you're so cuuute and i loooved thiiiiiissss!
I’m so happy that happy found you. I love you❤❤❤❤❤

🫶🏾
i love you so much! thank u for making my day 🩷
thank you for existing
I just moved abroad for 5 months and I found your moving to nyc videos so comforting and relatable!! thank you so much for this :')
Omg i love your videos sooo much, they bring me so much happiness. I’m very happy for you, and i wish you all the best in life and endless happiness ❤❤❤
I'm just. in awe of you ki
I think I saw you on the train a few days ago loll, but I love your content and wanted to let you know to keep doing what you're doing bc you're a huge inspiration! ❤
cried, thanks
i know new york is tough, it teaches you to have very thick skin lol but as for the rug go with cool tones of any color. a cool orange will make the blue pop. you probably want to stick to something that’s just a solid color so as to not clash with the grey floors. if not solid, stripes that mimic the width of the floor panels would complement them. probably stay away from cool brown, it would be too drab.
love your work and your videos
yellow beige grey or pink will look nice with the grey you could add accents of gold and wooden objects and furniture to tie it together plants will help too and a mirror
I love audible currently finished my 3rd book for the year!
These New York videos have not been what I expected but I appreciate the change.
You’re so pretty when you smile 😊 New York took me out, sis. I lasted a year and ran my ass back to the south. You got this! We all believe in you
I loved absolutely everything about this video.. Trying to find the words to describe what I mean but I think it’s about how real/honest you are. Especially because I’m planning a move currently and I can understand what you mean. And.. I wish you only the best Kianna 🖤🖤!
Those NY summers are going to treat you well!
You're really such an inspiring person to me personally and I wish one day I can live my life the way you do. Do what you love and appreciate the small things. I'm tired of limiting myself 😭
hi! the last 10 seconds made me cry! thanks!!
We're pulling for you!
trust me Kiana its a process! keep saying its a process!!
after visiting nyc and Los Angeles this past week (i'm from London) I definitely underestimated how much more challenging but also rewarding it must be to persevere in a city like nyc. im from London and I absolutely love it and have always sworn that I could only ever live in London or New York. but after flying straight form New York to la, I changed my mind lol. I love New York and it is absolutely a dream, however, it is not for the weak lmao. at least in LA the sun is calling you to wake up and get your day running, whereas in nyc and London I will say there is a lot more of a requirement from you to push regardless of what your body and surroundings is telling you, because that grey sky WILL tell you to go back to bed lol. im used to it as I do live in a country known for grey skies and rain, but all I will say Kianna is its nyc for a reason, sure its challenging and sometimes overwhelming, but those big cities MAKE u in the best way. I can't wait for the day I can to a sunnier place but I am so proud to be from the city of London, and for that, I truly pray nyc gives you everything you need during your stay
I love your videos sm.
I swear the "you're doing just fine" made me burst into tears. I didn't even know I needed that. Thank you
"you're doing just fine" i cried
It'll get better. Welcome ❤
omg i was apartment hunting in nyc in november too and the manhattan vs brooklyn apts are so wild and the difference is crazy
Really? How so
I hope you're enjoying the lunar chronicles!!!
back and rewatching cuz i miss her
I lived in nyc for 3 months and I was not messing with it lol but i went to dinner with nyu students and they dair first 1-6 months were miserable just from adjusting to walking everywhere, everything is sort of dingy by literally the rest of the country standard and you don't have as much privacy but now looking back i sorta miss it and definitely want to go back.
any kind of Turkish rug with red accents would look great!
I've been learning Spanish and I've noticed a difference in treatment as well. Colombians are have sucj a sweet and friendly culture
that's so cool! how have you been learning?
Keep going hun ❤
ugh, i cannot wait to go through these struggles when i move out of my parent's house
thank you for the cute little love note. i needed that. 🤍you take care my darling 🌙
lmaoo as a nyc native who was raised on key food, it’s not bad!!
awww she posted yall! wake UP 🫡
Keep your head up, all this come along with living in NY, only the strongest serve, you will b just fine. Trust your path and GOD
the flower story 🥲
New York in general in a ALOT but also a fun stressful journey . But once you are there its everything and more
Im also an American who’s native language is English who has been learning Spanish for a few years and ur so right like
I’m a native New Yorker and this city isn’t for everyone. Enjoy your time here but if you ever feel like you want to leave don’t be afraid to. Wishing you luck!
Beautiful
Kianna love you
Thank you for telling us your story !!! Also, when is your necklace from 😍 at 13:43
I feel the same way about others in other countries. They’re nicer. And yea speaking Spanish is such a great language to know. I want to learn others languages too!
🙏🏾💗
I never really imagined you in nyc, so it was a big shock. Especially considering all the places youve been and all the people you’ve experienced. I’m not sure if it will be the place for you and I feel like you’ll probably leave soon 😭 New York is overhyped. I really do hope everything works out though and that things get better for you if you do decide to stay. ❤
Very overhyped ngl.. it’s fun to travel to.. just like Atlanta .. and that’s coming from someone who grew up and was raised in Atlanta.. Atlanta not NYC are the same as it was in >2004-2016
@@TheEliseRae that’s so real. It really depends on the people too. I don’t rlly vibe with everyone in nyc but I feel more comfortable with them in ATL.
I feel like you should visit Montreal!!
Do you have goodreads Kianna? I’d like to keep up with your book recs :)
Kianna, there will be some hard days but you're going to be fine. I'll tell that to myself too.
I am thinking a mustard yellow rug could be a moment and tie in the couch and the floors (if thats your vibe) :)
can you please do a guide on everything you did in colombia. like exact area, language school, if you went through a travel agency etc. i really loved your experience there and i desperately need to learn spanish because all my tias and tios speak it. in a video or for $ either way i'd love it.
I spent 5 weeks in Colombia and 3 mths in Latin America I can give tips not sure if you want them specifically from Kianna
pls share queen
@@akaylaqueeley-brown4125 I will happily take the tips!
@@akaylaqueeley-brown4125 i would love all the info i can get, please feel free and thank you
@@akaylaqueeley-brown4125can you give me tips?!! I want to live in PR or Colombia for 6 months so I can learn Spanish and experience a new culture
