one of the greatest lessons I have learned this past year is that *happiness is an inside job. You choose to be happy now, not letting the outside circumstances dictate your mood. I choose not to give that power away anymore. It is in my power. I have it. I hold it. I wield it and I use it. :-)*
1. Count your blessings : I love to keep this page on my bullet journal called "month highlights" where i write the best parts and it makes me feel so grateful right away! 2. Move your body: i've recently discovered that i love running so it's been a great way to help me deal with stress. 3. Surround yourself with inspiration: i try to keep myself inspired by the people around me, especially my classmates and my two best friends. 4. Take care of yourself: allowing myself to make mistakes and take up the space i deserve is key (also learning not to take everyone's shit) 5. Be authentic: i try and fight my insecure inner voice and laugh out loud when i feel like it, or angry, sad...
SIS YES!!!!!!! This is exactly what ive been going through lately, im learning to love myself after all these years of self doubt. Because i realized i have everything that i need inside, deep down i know who i am, and i am just starting to actually follow my gut and ive never felt this way before. im gonna watch this again whenever i forget
I have anxiety, and in the morning it’s gets especially bad, so I made it a goal to wake up early today and finish some homework. I woke up and finished my homework and instead of going back to sleep decided to watch some videos and make coffee and breakfast. Then I go to TH-cam and you pop in my feed and your video title was just so perfect because I’ve been struggling lately. You help so many people and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me start my morning off right. ❤️❤️❤️
Kalyn, Thank you for taking the time to RE-FILM this video. I am sure you had some AMAZING things in the first one, but it was all meant to be, because everything you said in this video. Has truly helped me feel better Whenever I am feeling low, i search up your videos from all the past, as well as present. You make a difference in my life, by helping me see light in the darkness. You are such an inspiration, and THANK YOU for all your hard work. You put alot of energy into your content, and in return it gives me and most likely many others positive energy. WE APPRECIATE YOU! I am unsure if you will see this but, I hope you do. I have been going through loss in my life, and you help keep my head in a good aspect. xo
My best friends girlfriend passed away on Friday the 29th. I'm broken and she was such an amazing and beautiful young woman she was 23. Finding it hard to keep going. But I know she would want us to keep going and be happy. So this video is such a help to remind me that I'm so lucky to have my life. 💕
Wow, you've really inspired me here. I needed this so bad because I haven't been feeling my best lately and now I want to start the journey of finding my true self and loving myself for who I am.
I believe in where your focus goes your energy flows...when I stop focusing on toxic people, relationships and/or situations...it goes away......ie I was being bullied at work...once I stopped my focus on that person and the situation it went away...it stopped....I try to be mindful of staying positive being positive in all situations...your mindset definetly has an overall affect on your happiness....being in the present living in the now plays a huge part in your overall happiness and health.
You always kill it ♥️ My happy routine is: Walking my dog Eating & drinking well (with splurges 😌) Tarot readings on Sunday’s Stretching daily Meditating almost daily Soaking in epsom salt & essential oil baths 2x/week Daily gratitude journal Showing up for myself & my husband 🥰
I’m having the worse “mental” day today. And I have no idea why. I’m literally getting on my own nerves. I have so much to be thankful for but some days I just can’t seem to snap out of the funk
Thank you for the video! On point. My 8 year old dog got diagnosed with a super rare type of cancer last week, the anxiety is realll....I'm trying so hard to be strong for him but it was so freaking unexpected
My formula: write down a new gratitude list (even though I've probably already made one that morning, sometimes we just gotta do more), make coffee + watch your latest video while I think about what I'm going to do when it goes off to make the day better, which usually be doing yoga, cleaning my space, or practicing violin. But, ALWAYS watching your videos are a crucial part of my "get it together" routine
I see friends out there having difficulties and as a consequence at this time taking control over over their own affairs, you feel that you are not about to be in a position to become empowered when you find yourself not ready to generate the choice that sets you free. The thing is that the choices in life we make are positively or perhaps unfavourably reinforcing our behaviours together with our lives.
Thank you for that. The simplicity of it is what makes it so encouragingly doable, and that’s the brilliance and lightness of it, making it a great deal more easier to implement when you’re feeling down or low, and want to help yourself back up on the horse and regain the ability to begin laying down a steadying foundation to creating daily, achievable happiness. A nightly walk under the moonlit-starlit sky definitely has a way of reminding us of the great magnificence of the expanse we live in, and of our cosmic origins and interconnectedness to all of nature. Lunar energy also has a way of imbuing us with the energy of the Divine Feminine, and it’s cooling nature is very calming and balancing. This also contributes to better quality and restful sleep. Also a walk an hour after dinner really helps with the digestive process, so by the time we turn in for the night, it ensures our food has been fully digested and assimilated. (It’s very counterproductive to go to sleep when all your food hasn’t been completely digested; over time, such a counterproductive habit would lead to health complications). Glad to have come across your video. Glad it carries such an inspiring message and that you made it it easily actionable and practical, which makes it empowering for those who follow it through into action as part of their daily routine. What you’re doing is wonderful. Keep shining and illuminating :)
I actually paused this when you talked about going outside, and went for a sunset walk. It was wonderful. Then I went to bed, and I didn't have time to watch the rest until now, a day later, because I've been outside all day. Firstly because I went for a run, and after that because I spent the day on the beach with my friends. All of this is what I want to do everyday, which I knew before, but needed a reminder for. Thank you!
This reminds me of doing the happiness challenge; where you find something within your day that makes you happy over 100 days. Did it over FB but I have had friends do it on insta as well :)
This is the formula I've been trying to integrate (still figuring out which parts work for me & which don't): 1. For counting my blessings - doing a gratitude meditation each morning 2. For moving my body - yoga every morning before either strength training in the gym on Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings, or cardio either at the gym or running on one of the forest trails near my house on Tuesday/Thursday mornings 3. For surrounding myself with inspiration - decluttering my room (especially my wardrobe) and putting a new organisation system in place to make it cleaner, clearer and easier to navigate 4. For taking care of myself - walking on one of the forest trails near my house after dinner each night and reflecting on the day 5. For being authentic - taking the time to pursue my passion project of writing a novel
💛 Watching your videos puts me in a good mental space. You REALLY encourage me to be a better woman & to really focus on me & my life. I haven't gotten to your level but I'm getting there starting with journaling, yoga, meditation & alone time. I really need to increase my water intake, cut off anything that doesnt benefit me & excerise more instead of starting & stopping for months. I've watched all your videos & tried to create my own lifestyle around it. Im in a relationship but I still watch your how to be single video so I'm not dependent. You are who I would love to be like; I look up to you & if I could ever meet you & be life long friends I know my life would sky rocket & I'd be the best me because I know I have someone in my corner that actually means well in my life. 💛 I want to thank you for tgese videos & being yourself. I really appreciate it. Lots of love to you. -- Can't wait for more videos. -Liz💜👸
Ive definitely been struggling with overthinking and it’s been taking away from my happiness from my relationship, my life, my job. But when I actually think about it my boyfriend is amazing, my life is so blessed & my job pays me great and it’s sweet. I tend to find a negatives in positives and that’s something I’m definitely overcoming
1. Count your blessings: I actually just do it when I´m in a bad mood, on a walk in the forest 2. Move your body: go to the gym 2 times a week and ride my bike 5 days a week 3. Surround yourself with inspiration: declutter, have a clean room, read and souround my self with inspirational people 4. Take care of yourself: full pamper routine is key or sometimes a movie night with friends 5. Be authentic: just always try to be de best me and remember how I want to be and how to react properly in most situations Thanks for the amazing video, as always
Redundant = no longer useful or needed. It doesn’t mean ‘obvious’! Eg: My opinion on who should be the next President is redundant now that the general election has passed.😊 I’m so impressed by the way you manage to talk so fluently at such length without any umms or uhhs or stumbles and without reading from notes. You would make an excellent public speaker! I completely agree that exercise is the best cure for feelings of nervousness or anxiety. I always say: just try doing a huge run and see if you can still feel nervous after that! It’s also great for low mood because it releases all those endorphins. All great points, however ‘obvious’ 😉 they may seem to you because we all need reminding sometimes! And I’m sure most ppl will come away from this video feeling happier and lighter just from seeing YOU! I too think that noticing and appreciating the small things in life is crucially important. However small they might be, if we can focus on as many as possible, we’ll soon find enough of them in to quickly brighten our mood. 😊 Like you, I love taking my dog Misha out for a walk before bed. It’s lovely to walk outside at night (at least when it’s dry and not too cold!) and I find it a really pleasant part of my night-time routine. Just like you, I am most grateful for my dog, his health, his licks and cuddles and constantly waggy tail, the millions of little things he does that make me smile or laugh. He even cracks me up when he’s being naughty - so much so that I find it really hard to keep a straight face when I’m trying to tell him off! Thank you, Kalyn for reminding me to be constantly grateful for my precious baby boy! 😊 I think my favourite line from this video has to be ‘Go outside and be a mammal!’ I’m going to remember that one for a long time! 🤣 PS - You look especially pretty in this video! ♥️
Evolutionized - adjective 1. Developed by evolution, especially to a more advanced state. 2. Treated or modified in accordance with evolutionary theory. rare.
Thank youuu, really feel like I needed this, I think I always focus on “if I do this or I get this I’ll be happy” instead of feeling happy along the journey
I so needed this video. I just returned to work about a month ago, so life has been pretty busy and I've just now had a chance to catch up on some of your videos. Let me tell you, you are definitely one of the people I choose to allow into my life. Just hearing what you have to say, your thoughts and your raw perspective on life is truly inspiring and has re-awakened me to look at myself. I'm sure that sounds corny, but you're such a wise soul for 25. Thanks for helping a working mama out.
Thank you for that part about having a job that doesn’t necessarily bring you happiness but is a steppingstone and the intention is important (huge paraphrase)!! I feel like there’s always this talk about people should love the job they have, but that’s not always immediately possible. So thank you for saying that so eloquently!
You have no idea how much I needed this video. I was just balling my eyes out a few minutes ago, because I’ve been feeling lost about how to be happy again. I decided to get on my phone to maybe look for something to help, and the notification for this video immediately came up (which is ironic since you posted this yesterday) and the title immediately caught my attention. Thank you.
Things I am grateful for: You and this video. As I look through the comments I can literally see how many lives you touch and make better. You are so amazing and inspiring. And I am grateful that you put in so much effort to refilm this video because you clearly care for us! Thank you so much!!!!
Wow... Kalyn... The job and living situation part of the video, brought tears to my eyes because it is what I am going through right now. On the outside, to everyone else, I have everything someone my age would love to have... but I still can't find my happy. But this really helped, and brought a different perspective into my world. It's my 23rd birthday, and I am so glad I am starting my 23rd chapter knowing that I can find my happy, with these few steps. Thank you for the video xoxo
Love this. It’s been a struggle for me recently to do a lot of these things but I’m doing my best. I’ve been going to therapy and started meditating and loving myself more and all of this is just how I’m trying to live my life right now. Thanks for being you and sharing your heart all the time. 💕💕
Not only am I walking away from this video feeling happy, but even moreso inspired! I need to rewatch this for sure and take notes. SO many good points in here! 💕💕
I love that you mentioned what you surround yourself with in terms of social media. We can really curate what we see online and that can be great if you are watching motivational and inspirational things but it can also lead people to get stuck in echo chambers of ideas so while we want to try to watch amazing people like yourself sometimes it’s also good to watch or listen to things that challenge our ideas as it can also help us grow 😊
How to shift mind state to being happy again : - pray - verbalize gratitude - communicate with people I love - do a hobby - maintain a smile on my face ❤️
Thankyou for this kalyn , it was a good reminder to someone who is lost rn. I just lost everything I worked for over past year and a half and had to move back in with mom to reevaluate my life so I appreciate the tips :)
I resonate with everything in this video so much. I didn’t realize I’ve already been doing these things until I watched this and was like “I do that...and that...and that!” 🙌🏻💖 There’s definitely been a major energy shift in my life lately.
*I loved your most recent blog post on planning a werk4nd getaway Kalyn!* anyone else read it? I'll be planning a weekend getaway in celebration of my graduation this April !
Literally what I need rn, thanks for keeping me inspired. Like you literally keep me in track, when I'm lost and all, I'll just watch your videos and remember what I'm supposed to do with my life. A real inspiration, indeed. ❤
You should read the book "Happy at Last" by Richard O'Connor. He talks about consumerist society and the hedonic treadmill; it is hard to be happy when society teaches us to constantly want more. He also talks about the benefits of meditation and gratitude journaling. He writes about how you have to train your brain to become happy, how will power is a skill that you can learn.
I haven't meant that I would cry on a video about happiness but the last bit resonated with me so much that I started tearing up happy tears because I felt like everything finally makes sense. Love you💞
Thank you, Kalyn. This video was thoughtful and helped me to feel a little lighter. I think your consolidated list of very necessary happiness practices gave me a new sense of direction.
My happiness formula: Counting my blessings: journaling every day Move your body: walking my dogs every day Surround yourself with happiness: Koze Babes Group chat on Instagram and my bedroom aka my Koze Korner Back to the basics: drinking more water Love yourself: trusting my gut feeling on everything :)
Wouldn't it be so cool if we had a group on Facebook or anywhere else and could make friends with each other and find out if there are any like-minded people anywhere close to us or maybe just communicate and share our lives with each other?
I needed this so much! You always bring peace to my life with these types of videos, Kalyn! If you ever doubt yourself, think about all of us whose lives you helped!
Needed this so much, Kalyn! I’m in a phase of my life that I’m ready to get out of. Feels like every thing I do is a next step to “something” but when does that something actually happen?? This video was provided at the right moment
Anybody else sing the song Happier by Marshmello and Bastille when they read the title? No? Just me 🤷🏼♀️😂 Anyways new video yay! I forgot it’s Sunday because I worked today 😝
I've missed your Coffee Talks ♥ you're so talented and especially this video reveals how truly passionate you are about talking to us and (kind of) teaching us about life ♥
LOVE IT! Those sit down videos make my day. They inspire me so much and also the aesthetic and set up just gives me happy and positive feelings! And by the way, you look stunning in this video❤️ thanks for being one of my biggest inspirations ever!
Fckn bang on! This is your best video yet. I felt like you were talking directly to me. It blows me away how deep you are for your age. Thanks for this 😘
I am a junior in hs and I recently moved to a new school because of something that happened at my old one. I used to be extroverted and always described myself as such, but now I realize that I am the exact opposite. I also have really bad anxiety and I do not handle stress very well. Now I have to make new friends but I'm too scared to put myself out there because everyone else has already been developing their friend groups for years and I'm not sure where I fit. (also I've been crushing on someone pretty hard for months but I still can't find the courage to talk to him.) I'm also scared that if I don't do anything soon that I'm going to miss out on the best years of my life. Kalyn, if you happen to see this comment, please give me some advice! Love you! 💜
you look so pretty! love that lipstick color on you, especially how it sort of matches the pillows and accents in the background. sucks the mic wasn't on the first time--that can definitely be frustrating, but was still a good talk, thanks :)

Aww Kalyn pretty much said we are all friends ♥️
I mean basically. That’s how I took it. We are like-minded bffs 👯♀️
Coffee talks are my favorite! Thanks for sharing Kalyn!
Thank you
How is this woman so good at living
Yes!! Updated fitness routine pleaseee! ♥️
AND YAY GYST SPRING SERIESSSSSS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yessss to both of those!
The intro 😂
Anyway. I just woke up and saw the notification and clicked this immediately. What a way to start my day. Thanks, Kalyn.
You always kill it ♥️
My happy routine is:
Walking my dog
Eating & drinking well (with splurges 😌)
Tarot readings on Sunday’s
Stretching daily
Meditating almost daily
Soaking in epsom salt & essential oil baths 2x/week
Daily gratitude journal
Showing up for myself & my husband 🥰
I’m having the worse “mental” day today. And I have no idea why. I’m literally getting on my own nerves. I have so much to be thankful for but some days I just can’t seem to snap out of the funk
I'm having one of those days too.I hope you're feeling better :) If u ever want to talk, my insta is @damissfro
Alec Bruneau thank you so much! You’re very kind
Thank you for the video! On point.
My 8 year old dog got diagnosed with a super rare type of cancer last week, the anxiety is realll....I'm trying so hard to be strong for him but it was so freaking unexpected
My formula: write down a new gratitude list (even though I've probably already made one that morning, sometimes we just gotta do more), make coffee + watch your latest video while I think about what I'm going to do when it goes off to make the day better, which usually be doing yoga, cleaning my space, or practicing violin.

I see friends out there having difficulties and as a consequence at this time taking control over over their own affairs, you feel that you are not about to be in a position to become empowered when you find yourself not ready to generate the choice that sets you free. The thing is that the choices in life we make are positively or perhaps unfavourably reinforcing our behaviours together with our lives.

A nightly walk under the moonlit-starlit sky definitely has a way of reminding us of the great magnificence of the expanse we live in, and of our cosmic origins and interconnectedness to all of nature. Lunar energy also has a way of imbuing us with the energy of the Divine Feminine, and it’s cooling nature is very calming and balancing. This also contributes to better quality and restful sleep.
Also a walk an hour after dinner really helps with the digestive process, so by the time we turn in for the night, it ensures our food has been fully digested and assimilated. (It’s very counterproductive to go to sleep when all your food hasn’t been completely digested; over time, such a counterproductive habit would lead to health complications).
Glad to have come across your video. Glad it carries such an inspiring message and that you made it it easily actionable and practical, which makes it empowering for those who follow it through into action as part of their daily routine. What you’re doing is wonderful. Keep shining and illuminating :)
I actually paused this when you talked about going outside, and went for a sunset walk. It was wonderful. Then I went to bed, and I didn't have time to watch the rest until now, a day later, because I've been outside all day. Firstly because I went for a run, and after that because I spent the day on the beach with my friends. All of this is what I want to do everyday, which I knew before, but needed a reminder for. Thank you!
This reminds me of doing the happiness challenge; where you find something within your day that makes you happy over 100 days. Did it over FB but I have had friends do it on insta as well :)
This is the formula I've been trying to integrate (still figuring out which parts work for me & which don't):
1. For counting my blessings - doing a gratitude meditation each morning
2. For moving my body - yoga every morning before either strength training in the gym on Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings, or cardio either at the gym or running on one of the forest trails near my house on Tuesday/Thursday mornings
3. For surrounding myself with inspiration - decluttering my room (especially my wardrobe) and putting a new organisation system in place to make it cleaner, clearer and easier to navigate
4. For taking care of myself - walking on one of the forest trails near my house after dinner each night and reflecting on the day
5. For being authentic - taking the time to pursue my passion project of writing a novel
💛 Watching your videos puts me in a good mental space. You REALLY encourage me to be a better woman & to really focus on me & my life. I haven't gotten to your level but I'm getting there starting with journaling, yoga, meditation & alone time. I really need to increase my water intake, cut off anything that doesnt benefit me & excerise more instead of starting & stopping for months. I've watched all your videos & tried to create my own lifestyle around it. Im in a relationship but I still watch your how to be single video so I'm not dependent. You are who I would love to be like; I look up to you & if I could ever meet you & be life long friends I know my life would sky rocket & I'd be the best me because I know I have someone in my corner that actually means well in my life. 💛 I want to thank you for tgese videos & being yourself. I really appreciate it. Lots of love to you. -- Can't wait for more videos.

Things I am grateful for: You and this video. As I look through the comments I can literally see how many lives you touch and make better. You are so amazing and inspiring. And I am grateful that you put in so much effort to refilm this video because you clearly care for us! Thank you so much!!!!
Wow... Kalyn... The job and living situation part of the video, brought tears to my eyes because it is what I am going through right now. On the outside, to everyone else, I have everything someone my age would love to have... but I still can't find my happy. But this really helped, and brought a different perspective into my world. It's my 23rd birthday, and I am so glad I am starting my 23rd chapter knowing that I can find my happy, with these few steps. Thank you for the video xoxo
Love this. It’s been a struggle for me recently to do a lot of these things but I’m doing my best. I’ve been going to therapy and started meditating and loving myself more and all of this is just how I’m trying to live my life right now. Thanks for being you and sharing your heart all the time. 💕💕
Not only am I walking away from this video feeling happy, but even moreso inspired! I need to rewatch this for sure and take notes. SO many good points in here! 💕💕
Needed this, thank you love. Very much looking forward to your Spring Cleaning GYST videos I neeed that inspo
Is it just me or does she look like an angel?😍
I love that you mentioned what you surround yourself with in terms of social media. We can really curate what we see online and that can be great if you are watching motivational and inspirational things but it can also lead people to get stuck in echo chambers of ideas so while we want to try to watch amazing people like yourself sometimes it’s also good to watch or listen to things that challenge our ideas as it can also help us grow 😊
How to shift mind state to being happy again :
- pray
- verbalize gratitude
- communicate with people I love
- do a hobby
- maintain a smile on my face
❤️
Thankyou for this kalyn , it was a good reminder to someone who is lost rn. I just lost everything I worked for over past year and a half and had to move back in with mom to reevaluate my life so I appreciate the tips :)
I resonate with everything in this video so much. I didn’t realize I’ve already been doing these things until I watched this and was like “I do that...and that...and that!” 🙌🏻💖 There’s definitely been a major energy shift in my life lately.
*I loved your most recent blog post on planning a werk4nd getaway Kalyn!* anyone else read it?
I'll be planning a weekend getaway in celebration of my graduation this April !
I didn’t even realise that I really needed to hear this, thank you Kalyn 💕
I swear you always upload when I'm in a slump and you always get me out of it! Whether it's your videos or your podcasts! Thank you!!
Literally what I need rn, thanks for keeping me inspired. Like you literally keep me in track, when I'm lost and all, I'll just watch your videos and remember what I'm supposed to do with my life. A real inspiration, indeed. ❤
You should read the book "Happy at Last" by Richard O'Connor. He talks about consumerist society and the hedonic treadmill; it is hard to be happy when society teaches us to constantly want more. He also talks about the benefits of meditation and gratitude journaling. He writes about how you have to train your brain to become happy, how will power is a skill that you can learn.
Needed to hear this today! Thanks for the uplifting words Kalyn ! 🥰✌🏽
I literally stopped the video to make some coffee lol I need to start listening to your podcast again
I haven't meant that I would cry on a video about happiness but the last bit resonated with me so much that I started tearing up happy tears because I felt like everything finally makes sense. Love you💞
I love you. You make me hopeful and a little less helpless. Keep doing the good stuff that you do. Immense amount of love for you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Kalyn. This video was thoughtful and helped me to feel a little lighter. I think your consolidated list of very necessary happiness practices gave me a new sense of direction.
I'm going to wake up tomorrow & take action on my life and happiness :) Thank you Kalyn! ❤ Goodnight everyone:)
My happiness formula:
Counting my blessings: journaling every day
Move your body: walking my dogs every day
Surround yourself with happiness: Koze Babes Group chat on Instagram and my bedroom aka my Koze Korner
Back to the basics: drinking more water
Love yourself: trusting my gut feeling on everything :)

Melissa Freeman I hope 🤞 you feel better tomorrow 😊
@Mathilde G Hey, hope you're feeling better. My insta user is damissfro if you ever want to talk :)
Wouldn't it be so cool if we had a group on Facebook or anywhere else and could make friends with each other and find out if there are any like-minded people anywhere close to us or maybe just communicate and share our lives with each other?
I needed this so much! You always bring peace to my life with these types of videos, Kalyn! If you ever doubt yourself, think about all of us whose lives you helped!
Cannot be more grateful for your videos.
I am thankful for you being in this world for us.
biggest tip which I think you actually mentioned but called it seflove for me is knowing your worth.
Exactly what I need! Especially the job-talk! Thank you!
Needed this so much, Kalyn! I’m in a phase of my life that I’m ready to get out of. Feels like every thing I do is a next step to “something” but when does that something actually happen?? This video was provided at the right moment
Such an amazing open minding video... I watched some parts twice in order to understand them better... thanks for the light 🌞💗
I needed this so much!! I've been so stressed out and feeling so ungrateful, and then you post this video! Thank you!! Just what I needed to hear!
You're so encouraging girl. Love your channel!

I've missed your Coffee Talks ♥ you're so talented and especially this video reveals how truly passionate you are about talking to us and (kind of) teaching us about life ♥
I thought the same thing!!
This video is so great! It made me happy cause I’m already doing a lot of this stuff & you are so right. Thank you for this tips. Let’s be happy. 💕💞
I seriously love you. Your videos always bring me so much peace. Thanks for being you.
I think you'd love the book Authentic Happiness - I just had to read it for class but was so glad, it changed my perspective, I totally recommend it!!
Loved watching this before bed😍Bring on tomorrowww

Cannot WAIT for the GYST videos.... LOVE THEM
Thank you for this!!
Yassss been waiting for a coffee talk all my life! So keen for some more GYST, plan with me and vlogs 😀🙏 love you always 💖
Fckn bang on! This is your best video yet. I felt like you were talking directly to me. It blows me away how deep you are for your age. Thanks for this 😘
5:38 ok I love the word "evolutionised" 😂 I know what you meant but I love that
I am a junior in hs and I recently moved to a new school because of something that happened at my old one. I used to be extroverted and always described myself as such, but now I realize that I am the exact opposite. I also have really bad anxiety and I do not handle stress very well. Now I have to make new friends but I'm too scared to put myself out there because everyone else has already been developing their friend groups for years and I'm not sure where I fit. (also I've been crushing on someone pretty hard for months but I still can't find the courage to talk to him.) I'm also scared that if I don't do anything soon that I'm going to miss out on the best years of my life. Kalyn, if you happen to see this comment, please give me some advice! Love you! 💜
Great Kalynn!! A video on your new hsir routine will be really good and makeup!!!!!
This might just be my favorite video that you’ve ever made 💜 thank you for this and all these amazing reminders
Thank you for this video 💗
I needed these reminders😘
Great video Kalyn! I think that most people struggle with this on a day to day basis, but these small steps do help.
Can you do a spring morning routine
I love your relationship with Bentley 💕
you look so pretty! love that lipstick color on you, especially how it sort of matches the pillows and accents in the background. sucks the mic wasn't on the first time--that can definitely be frustrating, but was still a good talk, thanks :)
