- we're back baby. i'm here to spill my guts in this next chapter of oversharing in seattle!!! we talk what feels right and what feels wrong at this time in my life. i'm continuing this series because of how vocal you've been about how much you've connected with it! i'm always afraid to express any pride in my work but there's just something different with the way this content hits... a tonal shift. it means the most when i hear some of you say i make you feel safe. that's all i've ever wanted to do on this godforsaken site! in short, i love you and turn those notifs on cause more is coming before you know it.

I love how authentic your videos are. I feel like your channel is really rare and it's one I consistently come back to. It seems like you're really living with an open heart which is something I'm struggling to do.
i'm so glad you get that from my channel! i'm happy to be that for u 🥺
Your content keeps leveling up. It’s amazing
🥺
For months I have really been suffering, and just now your reflections have given me new perspective, new life. You quite literally changed my life. I don't want to burden you with my struggles, but I genuinely and sincerely thank you Katherine. For the first time in a long time I feel like I have hope and can breathe again. I hope you know that what you do has a real, tangible, lifelong positive impact on this world.
thank you so much for leaving this comment 🥺
I would love a video on your relationship with your job now in your type A- era vs in your over achiever era. Struggling with the overwhelming need to be the best vs the desire to just do well and live my life
I felt the EXACT same way about Seattle/Bellingham. I grew up in Florida and it never truly felt like "home". Something about it was just off. I moved up to Seattle in 2014 and up to Bellingham a year later. It makes a huge difference to love where you live and my quality of life has improved so much since coming to WA. There's something about the weather, natural beauty, and cities here that just feel right. It's really cool to see someone else that feels the same way, thank you so much for sharing!
the way you talked about the parasocial relationship taken up by people who used to know you - it really makes me think of how i feel about instagram. like people follow me who i haven’t spoken to in years and even as someone who doesn’t post regularly, it feels suuuuper weird that these people have any amount of insight into my life and maybe even still feel like they know what i am about??
Wearing pjs with my bra hanging out while folding towels and talking to the internet...*chef's kiss* I aspire to this level of comfort
Love that you're watching succession!!! I need a group to hash out everything that happens each episode because there's always so much to address!
the latest episodes have REALLY warmed up i love the buffoonery
I feel the same way you do about Seattle about Philly and so I find it so interesting to relate to you talking about a city you love so much when those cities are so different 🥲
Really interesting to hear your reflections on your time in NYC!! I was born in the city and raised in the suburbs of NY and South Jersey so I've always been close by and now currently live in the Bronx. I'd be interested to get your recommendations on travel to California state parks and other places that you went to often growing up because in 2022 I hope to make it a goal to see more of the country! I loved going to Las Vegas with friends a few years ago and especially think it would be cool to see more of the west coast and the pacific northwest!
I ABSOLUTELY had a relationship with LA and NYC especially because I didn't visit as a child, but my parents lived in the LA area and I was born there. I had relationships with cities internationally as well because I felt a deep unsettling divide between where I was and where I felt like I would fit into. I still feel like something in me needs to know how I would feel living there and I want to return to living in LA to complete some circle that has lived in me for a long time. I know some of the romanticization is just that, but in the times I've been able to be in metro areas the overwhelming peace I feel has confirmed that there's something beyond the romantics that is drawing me to places like that. As ridiculous as it sounds visiting places like Paris, and London felt like this homecoming. I have an extremely complicated relationship with the concept of home and while I'm still figuring it out I know that eventually a major city will probably be in the cards simply because of the peace that exists outside of my daydreams. (sorry this was so long and I hope it makes sense, this is something I have thought about a lot but never heard many other people talk about)
To be fair visiting ny is very different from living in ny...you can get plenty of alone time when you're not on vacation. We don't go all day every day for 8 days straight!
I BEG OF YOU for a video guide to the best California state parks! Ugh that would be so helpful/amazing and I’d assume a lot of cool granola girls would find your content that way!
You’ve made me a believer in Astrocartography too. It’s funny to me how everyone experiences places differently. I visited Seattle for the first time last summer and I felt a constant unsettled, overwhelmed, anxious feeling the whole four days I was there. For no reason. But in San Diego, I felt peace even with chaos going on around me. Lo and behold, that chart you posted said the same thing!
This is such a cozy vlog!!
🥰🥰🥰
girl, gringos are always putting themselves in the center of the world so OFCOURSE, we, non-gringos, know about your country because of internet, movies, series, idk! sooo yes WE dream about LA or NY lol, and i am more attracted to NY :o
You're such a great speaker! Your train of thought is honestly really beautiful and an essay in itself. Question - You had an interview with another news source where you mentioned how you might feel unsettled to have future employers find your channel. Do you think those kind of thoughts are overdramatic because people don't really care or if not, how do you deal with that? Started my channel and feeling unsettled. 😅
I love your authenticity and your personality.. we’re totally different and in a very different stage in life coz im a mom now, but I ADORE YOU! because you’re very real (like I can’t express how authentic enough you are hehe!) and your videos & lifestyle is not like the NYC/LA lifestyle vloggers whose definitely just full of privileges and parents assistance so they could afford their rent & all haha! Also, i admire your intellect and opinion about work & life. I’m here for the long haul :)
heyyyy that was my comment! :) glad astrocartography has been beneficial for you!!!!
Fellow salesperson here and I love how you said “the pipes are a little moldy” 🤣 it makes total sense where you’re coming from. also I love your channel. It made me consider getting into SaaS so thank you. Keep up the great and insightful content.
I hope that you're having a good time and safe travels
its interesting what you mentioned about the parasocial relationships, even as a 'non internet' person I've felt increasingly strange about instagram and sharing anything on there because I felt like although I may not still have friendships or relationships with the same people it still felt like they were entitled to knowing things. Also felt like people stopped making an effort because they 'knew/saw' what you were up to!! anyway insta was deleted!!! so thank you for sharing the insta story chats here too x
How you feel about Seattle, I feel about Washington, D.C. I never wanted to move to NY or LA, though I did grow up visiting both because I have family in those cities. Those cities feel much less accessible to me. I'm lucky that I grew up right outside D.C., in Maryland. We grew up taking bike rides through the city, exploring the free museums, going to the parks. And now I live here and love it so much! So many people feel like D.C. is a transient city, and it can be, especially with politics. But it's so much more than that. D.C. has such a thriving literary and art community, which are my kind of people. There's green spaces, there's friendly people, there's so much history, there's soo many dogs. I'm grateful -- and privileged -- to be able to live here and hope I'll be able to continue doing so.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Seattle (still want to visit one day!), making friends, and anti-capitalism. Would be curious to hear more of your thoughts on renting, buying, housing in general, and more of the Buy Nothing groups, tool borrowing things you mentioned.
I definitely know what you mean. I have that same connection to the Bay Area. The first time I got to SF I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. Even when I went to Berkeley I just couldn't believe it! I'm Italian and it had always been a dream of mine to go to the Bay Area (thanks to a bunch of bands I love that are from there). Well, every time I'm there I'm just happy. Like 100% content and overjoyed 🤩
I just moved from Seattle to the NYC area actually. I adored Seattle and I miss it sooooo much, but New York is my dream. I’m so happy you’re loving Washington!
You should make a video about California state parks/outdoorsy things!
i second this!!! that is the kind of content we need!!
i really appreciate how honestly you talk about your experience visiting ny! it can be tricky sometimes on social media and seeing the way living in ny is glamorized and thinking it would be amazing for anyone to live there. but i get the feeling, similar to you, that i would get burnt out VERY quick if i were to live in a place with that kind of quick paced energy.
I feel so overwhelmed by traveling also. I always need to chill in my hotel for a few hours before I venture out again. I wasn't like that as a kid, but as an adult idk I'm like that now. Granted my mom took us on vacations and dragged us around all day so maybe I'm discovering how I like to travel now but idk sometimes I'm like is this ok if I want to chill for a bit?
When I tell you the knocking on your door for your pizza scared the living crap out of me as I'm watching this at night alone lol
IT SCARED ME TOO HAHAHAH
Re New York: As someone who grew up right outside newyork city and then moved to the Rockies right after college, I realized how nyc suburbian kids are raised on the dream to live in nyc, and it’s a manufactured desire, i think it’s crazy how capatlism convinces kids that they want to live in major cities based on their jobs
I did not really fantasize about LA or NYC as someone who grew up in PA and I never visited them. I visited NYC in my adult age but I felt overwhelmed! I did always want to visit/move to San Francisco and I don’t really know why. As an adult now, I love NYC content but still feel like I could never live there coming from a small/medium city. Also, your content is great! As a 24 year old on my own, it’s super realistic and comforting. ❤️
I really started having the whole "New York dream city" later in my life which is quite interesting ahahah. I have never been to the United States and when I was younger I really found those cities way too romanticized. Los Angels I still don't feel very attracted to, but New York definitely started growing on my mind. I would love to visit someday. Btw, love your insight on things and I have been loving your channel
I grew up in Seattle and I'm drinking out of my Starbucks Seattle mug as I watch this. I felt that electric and excited feeling of Vegas, so now I live here. 🤗 It's the best feeling to live in "that" place.
YES love that for you
@@Katherout It's kind of like Seattle here in that there is the city life, and then 20 minutes away nature and outdoor activities galore.
lolol I was listening to this like a podcast and I looked up to you just folding your underwear and I lost it. love this content
when i said i'm gonna show you my underwear drawer i meant it
Interesting. I has a similar time growing up where our vacations were primarily spent camping in the national forests/parks in the western US. But I have a huge draw to cities. The buzzing aliveness of a big city really gets into my blood.
Okay love how you came to my hometown to go to merriweather haha crazy hope you had fun
actually ended up being a very pleasant venue!
@@Katherout so glad you did 😊😊
I love the idea of house swapping (and your vids). My partner and I would be very down for an apartment swap for our place in North Vancouver (we live mountain side across the bridges) in the spring for a long weekend. OR we'll be buying/moving to the Kootenay's area in BC (so beautiful and just north of Montana) this summer and would be equally happy to do a swap then.
I love! This! Content!!! 🥰
i love! you! for watching what i create!!!
@@Katherout 💕💕
Firing on all cylinders with the authenticity.
love from Canada! BC is really ging through it right now though....
I live in Philly, I grew up outside philly & didn't go to new york till I was in highschool and went on a field trip there. It's litterally like 2.5 hours away and I like never go there.
I grew up visiting my grandma’s house in Southern CA/LA so I always dreamed of growing up and moving to California and living on the beach. Now I would not want that for myself but it was definitely the reason why I loved Southern California!
"the pipes are moldy" i bust out laughing
I also didn't have an aspirational relationship with ny/la! and I'm from the bay. I'm wondering if it's because I watched a lot of 90s san franscisco-based media and I lived there so I felt pretty content with the bay & knew that tv wasn't necessarily reality? I ended up visiting nyc around age 14 and I didn't like it because I thought it was just a busier version of san francisco lol. (Now I enjoy it more but it's not somewhere I have a strong relationship with) Just food for thought!
I still need help reading my astrocartography chart. Funnily enough not one line runs through California, where I was born and raised. But a line runs through the last city I lived in overseas. What does it all mean??? I also think that places become "home" because of the people not the place. If my family had decided to settle in another state I'm sure I would think fondly of that state. Plus it took me leaving the country (USA) for several years to appreciate the beauty of California. I did not like it when I was younger but now that I'm in my 30s I love it.
Growing up in the Chicago suburbs and knowing my mom lived downtown as a young adult, I glorified downtown young adult life, but because my parents are transplants, it didn't matter what big city it was (and that's what I've done, as a young adult)
Also LOVE the freeze frame in the end. Always here for your editing
So, I’m from northern Kentucky and the only places we vacationed to were beaches in Florida. However, I have always wanted to go to New York, Chicago, etc. (the big cities).
I used to do oversharing bits on my TikTok early this year, deleted everything. You're influencing me to go back into doing it again. (:
Second comment b/c I am at the end of the video now. I like NY, not LA. I was pursuing film distribution for the longest and when I went to LA, quickly realized it wasn't for me (the city not film distribution lol). But film distribution got me into data work and now in grad school for b analytics. Hoping to move out to Seattle within the next year so fingers crossed.
do it!!!!
Looked up my astrocartography map cause of this video, and PNW is it. Living vicariously through you until I make the drive to Seattle from the east coast.
Yes! When I was applying for colleges, my dream was to move to New York (even though i had never visited). I even got into a NYC design school. I couldn’t afford it. And I’m so glad I didn’t move there. I don’t vibe with big cities! Now I want to move to the midwest 😂
Ok I'm always so skeptical of astrology stuff but I just checked my astrocartography chart and there is a line directly through where I live right now (St Pete, FL) and I LOVE living here. I am shook lol
RIGHT
I have such a strong desire to move to Colorado. I visited once and it just felt so right to be there. However, it would be completely across the country from all of my family. I want to make the move but I am really close with my family. 😭
Oh wow, never thought you’d be so close to me! I live 15 mins from Merriweather Post Pavilion. Hope you loved it!
Hey just a heads up! the song is Cavewoman and you wrote "Caveman" in the caption. Took me a minute to find it lol
My aunt and her family owns Pagliacci’s ❤️ I’m a Bostonian, but Seattle has my heart!
NO WAYYYY tell them i love their work
*Atlantic Canadian* I NEEDED to move to California in general. Now I realize it's a pnw thing. I am planning to move to British Columbia to be nearer, but still north of the border. I have friends in Seattle, would be so fun to run into you!
hey girlie where is your tapestry from in your bedroom?
Amazing
re: NY being alive - "The City We Became" by NK Jemisin is all about this and it's so interesting - all about how cities are "born" and all cities have their own souls
Wait dead serious please do a california state parks video/camping tips.
omg TRAPEZE??? hell yeah. also sister in coughing over here,
Not mutuals but I'm NYC based and loving this apartment swap idea!
Loving these stream of consciousness videos. Not gonna lie though, watching you suddenly fold your underwear while youre talking about something completely different was a little bizarre. Was that intentional?
focusing, who needs that?
exactly...
Love the Astro comments, I am just the opposite. I live in Seattle and can't stand it and loved Boston and NYC. When I got my astro chart done the woman told me I could have any worse energy than Seattle and I needed to live in Boston or Maine. Ha!
Thanks for introducing me to astrocartography, my ADHD ass has a new thing to hyper fixate on 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I've seen a couple videos on how to hide your UA-cam channel from people. I wonder if you could "block" them if you're uncomfortable.
_What about the people in Washington? Is really not that friendly?_
Yes.
Well people can be nice but it takes alot to maintain or start to get to know each other so alot of folks don't make eye contact or smile initially.
i's really not safe to go to concerts that size...
I grew up pretty close to NYC and my opinion of it skews negative. Now I live in the Midwest and everyone thinks it's the best place ever. I used to rain on their parades but then I realized that I was just being elitist/a negative Nancy and people are allowed to like things. I think all the shit people gave me for moving to the Midwest made me resentful of the east coast.
re: apartment swap - come to Toronto 😎
surprised you never went to NYC because you travel so much for fun and work
If you last a year in New York, you’re stuck for 10 lmfao that’s just something to consider
If you ever wanna do an apartment swap in Austin....I'm your girl !!
You remind me of Elijah Wood, I think it’s your eyes
I don't get what you do for work and money?
me neither
@@Katherout are you privileged and living with parents for free or something, sorry I just found you
I get so sad when people who admit they aren’t familiar with astrology ( or any other subject )also call it pseudo-science :/ Just because something hasn’t been given proper funding to study or been studied by professionals in the United States doesn’t mean it can’t be real or have any validity.
Regardless, I’m glad you checked out your Astrocartography! It’s a sector of astrology I’m especially passionate about. It’s an awesome way to target places to encourage specific experiences 🤗
All of my astrocartography intersections are in the middle of the ocean .... maybe i am fish
it’s possible…. you belong to maritime law i guess!
