I’ve tried filling up newcrest a few times and I always end up with like two crack houses, three suburbans and a corrupted nightclub. So basically Las Vegas. You have the patience of a saint.
Kayla, I completely understand your driving anxiety. I'm 23 and it took me 6 years of learner's permits to finally be comfortable enough to test for my license. I've had it since March and also don't go many places, because pandemic and my job is literally 3 blocks from my house. I've yet to force myself to drive on the highway outside of driver's ed, but for the first time yesterday I drove an hour each way to a friend's house in an area I'd never ever been to before. So, you're not alone, don't worry 😊
Oh yes I had the same! It took me about 3 years to get my license (they told me if they would have graded me it would have been a 6/10,so that was great for my confidence) and then it took another like 5 years to really get comfortable driving. But now everything is peachy. Special thanks to my dad who forced me to borrow the car and drive him around haha.
i didn’t drive on the highway for the first 3 years of me getting my license, and i drive semi trucks now 😅 so yeah, having anxiety about it doesn’t mean you’ll be a bad driver. it’s normal!
This makes me feel so valid lol. I turned 18 a few months ago and my friends keep bugging me to get my license but they don’t understand how bad my anxiety is with driving :/ I plan to get it some day but I don’t have it in me to get it soon
I was the same. I am 33 now and have no issue driving and feel trapped if I can’t use my car for some reason. Lol. I didn’t get my license until I was 24 but I now wish I hadn’t waited so long. Just keep practicing. That helped me. It can get better. ❤️
4:15 this is so interesting to hear, bc i live in germany in a neighborhood where everyone built their own house like you just bought the lawn and built the house yourself so every house looks really different and i live here since i'm born so it's interesting hearing about repeated neighborhoods
thats really interesting because I live in germany too in the city and many houses look the same in my area we have lots of Reihenhäuser but in smaller cities and towns you're right the houses are more different
Same here. Though we also have those types of neighbourhoods where the builder builds identical houses that you then buy. Sort of like closed neighbourhoods. But the vast majority is like you just said
There are areas like that in the U.S. too, but not nearly as many! And definitely not where Kayla lives! (I lived in the same city and went to the same college. Lol)
Sorry if this is weird but I’m so proud and happy for you pushing yourself to drive despite your anxiety. I have a lot of anxiety too and it’s a constant struggle deal with, especially when there are people around me able to do the things that scare me so easily, while I’m struggling so much. So the fact that you’re not letting it control you but instead being really brave and overcoming it is really amazing to me. I think when one person beats their anxiety, we all get a boost! So keep it up, I’m rooting for you!
My real life house has a random skill building room. Lol a lot of people do. We call them craft rooms or sewing rooms or spare rooms. Our skill building room has my sewing machine, our Cricut maker, my wife's soap making stuff, and some of our instruments. Basically what I am saying is... We are sims
Our housemates moved out recently and I'm so happy to have a room of my own to start doing bookbinding again. And you just reminded me I can move my soapmaking stuff in there. And my knitting supplies. And... I've been calling it the craft room but I think I'll start calling it the Skill-Building Room. That sounds so much more polished.
My family does too! It has our pcs, old tv and old consoles, my mums sewing stuff( aka a LOT of fabric) and all my dads lego builds and then a bunch of old electronics
Whenever Kayla talks about her being scared of driving, I feel so understood. I feel the exact same Kayla, I have amaxophobia. I can be passenger in a car but if I need to drive I have full on panic attacks and cry. But so cool that u get yourself out there to drive. It’s the only way to get better, but I’m just not there yet. Sending lots of love from Denmark ❤️ 🇩🇰
Same I have a panic attack every time I try to drive on the highway. and I get really anxious and cry if I have to drive somewhere I’ve never been before.
@@christina3537 The only issue is I get inspired to play, then play for a few hours, just to get extremely bored and repeat the whole thing again. Building is always a fun thing here and there, but playing is so boring... Playing Sims 1, 2, or 3 was a blast.. Sims 4 is so stale since you have to do like 98% of the story building yourself..
I took that to an extreme recently - I built a barn for people to squat in (Squatters Barn in the gallery), had it off the grid, and played with a group of teenagers and children as a group of runaways. I've only got the base game, but barring a few minor annoyances (like the Kaboom Box which you can take to a park and use not working off the grid, and the wood fired stove not giving any additional cooking options), it was interesting to go off the grid, I suspect that eco-living would make it too easy with the generators etc

I so appreciate the honesty about driving anxiety. I was pushed to getting my license at 17 and driving still gives me massive anxiety ten years later. I wish public transportation was more of an option in the US because if it was, I’d probably never drive again. 🤷🏻♀️
Public transportation is an option in most places of the US.. it just depends on where you live. I can walk down the block and catch a bus to just about anywhere I'd need to go though I don't like to.. I don't have anxiety about driving but I do have social anxiety so it stops me from even getting my permit, license, riding the bus, etc since I feel like everything I do is being judged, is being done wrong, etc. I'm 29 with no license and only had my permit once back when I was like 23.. Now whenever I think of getting it I just feel like I'm too old and will be judged on it even though I know that's not true.
@@Eventide215 you're lucky then, rural areas you're pretty much out of luck if you don't have a license and car. Only recently my area has one bus that goes from the main town to a couple different places, but still nothing in the actual town I live in. I'd take taxi or Uber even if we had it
When you're doing that "upstairs is in the roof" thing, a way to make it so that there's less pieces of roof in the way is to extend the eaves of the top roof down around the second floor. You can add 1-wide roof pieces at the corners to fill in under the eaves so it doesn't look weird.
Everytime I drive onto the highway I think about that scene in onward where he’s like “I’m not ready!” And his brother goes “you’ll never be ready!! MERGE!!” I also made myself drive somewhere really far out of my comfort zone this week. Good for us :) driving in FL is fucking scary (I’ve lived here my whole life and still am not used to how insane everyone is on the roads here)
i love when you put pride flags in your builds, especially because you don’t make a big deal about it. you acknowledge it, but you don’t go “HEY LOOK AT THIS PRIDE FLAG SO GAY WOOOOO”
@@tapewormm3580 exactly, and that she tells what the flag is rather than just "it looked nice in this room" like some people. (Not saying anyone specific!)
Hi, Simsie! I wanted to say good job for driving on the highway by yourself! I have driving anxiety too and sometimes it can be really hard to get to places that I need to go. Keep up the good work. :)
maybe its just me but i love to put lil simsie speed builds on when im also doing something else. like even if im not paying full attention its nice to hear her just talk ab building
for real though I feel like a basement "skill room" would be cool then you could keep all those weird looking items out of sight until you need them lol
Could you upload all the lots and families to the gallery? I’m on console, so getting the world already built would be impossible (literally). So it’d be really cool if you could upload each family and lot on the gallery with a specific hashtag or something. You’d be helping all console players. Thanks!
You should be proud of yourself! My family always talked about how dangerous the highways were. That combined with an accident made me cry too while driving. I'm happy to say now I go everywhere! The exposure helps! Podcasts helped me too!
Omg I love the nonbinary kids bedroom!! You probably wont see this kayla but as a nonbinary/queer person I feel so welcomed in the community you've made 💖 I wish there were gender customization for kids and they/them pronouns :(
theres no mod i could find with nonbinary options bc apparently gender is just baked into the programming but there was one that changed all personal pronouns to they/them but idk what it was called :/
I have terrible driving anxiety as a 24 year old. I'm working on getting over it as well, so I totally relate to your stories. I love that you're open about it, I've not seen other people who are, and it makes me feel not alone. So thank you. And congratulations on making that milestone of driving the highway alone! It may not seem like a lot to others, but that's huge! Especially here with Florida's traffic. Good luck on your continued progress!
I like the orange wallpaper near the bed as the orange guitar is a similar shade to the wallpaper and the dark orange mat looks really nice. So I think you did such a fantastic job. 🙂
OMG I'm 38 and I haven't driven a car since like 2007. The last time I drove I had such a bad panic attack I almost blacked out. I hate driving anxiety, esp living in CA.
Thank you so much for talking about your anxiety around driving! I had huge issues with that and am still sensitive around it, but luckily after two years, including eight months of having to drive separate highways to and from work and do spontaneous trips to places I've never been before, I recently realised I now feel somewhat secure. I'd still rather someone else drive and I get another responsibility, but I can now feel independent and like I could pick up my friends or family when they need it. It's really something that might feel isolating, especially when everyone else seems to either be super excited or see driving as boring routine. My driving instructors surely made me feel like I was the problem (not by being unkind, just baffled by the situation). So, again, thanks for sharing!
I took newcrest and I’m busy making it into a Wodehouse-themed city. Blandings Castle, the golf club from the golf stories, the Drones Club... basically any building featured in P. G. Wodehouse’s books.
Tbh you're the only builder I've seen who puts pride flags in their builds when it's not June. And as a non binary trans person oh my god I appreciate it
sammmmeeeee im gender fluid and bi so i just love seeing it so much and i love how she doesnt make it a big deal either shes just like oh and theres a non-binary flag and thats the end of it!
omg simsie!! thank you for sharing about the driving experience! I have anxiety & driving anxiety is really hard for me as well. I drive but only to the same few close places to my house, and I avoid the highway at all costs too. I have practiced with my husband to get better at it but I did it ALONE this last week too for the first time!! AND I LITERALLY WAS LISTENING TO TAYLOR TOO HAHA! “this is me trying” came on and I teared up because I was so proud of myself for doing it and that song is sooo emotional for me. but seriously merging is SO scary and driving is OVERSTIMULATING. I mean theres at least 5 factors to be considering at all times (speed, following gps directions, staying in the lane, other cars getting over, blind spots) that make me so nervous. but challenging my fears and showing myself I CAN do it is sooo much progress. GOOD JOB KAYLA! we have the power, NOT our anxiety!!
I recognized it immediately as the house my current generations is living in, it's my fifth/sixth generation with alien dad, human mom and 2 hybrid daughters. It's a lovely house. Looking forward to the completed newcrest
Proud of you for tackling your fears and exposing yourself to stressful situations! I also have driving anxiety and I'm a little older than you, and it's nothing to be ashamed of since everyone is different.
The way that simsie talks about her driving anxiety, makes me feel so much better about my own driving anxiety. I completely understand the fear of highways and will take alternate routes whenever possible
On your next house you should make ever room be on a different platform, like the gazebo, but that would be the kitchen and another one would be the living room. You would put dining room on one and bedroom one another. (Bathroom, kids room, entry room, laundry room.) They would all be connected by a bridge or something. I also think it would be cool if you made a room for a dog or dogs, meaning you make a bedroom, but for dogs. With a bed, food and water bowl,a red fire hydrant (instead of the toilet because dogs pee on them). If you do, do this, will you get a Black Labrador Retriever and a Golden Retriever( in memory of two of my dogs that pasted away a year ago). Below are some cute names for the dogs.
so happy for you driving on the highway like that! ive always been super anxious about driving, and since lockdown i haven’t driven in months and the idea of doing it again is just getting scarier and scarier
One thing I like to do in my legacy/rags to riches challenges is build as the gameplay goes, so in the end I get a very big house with this weird floorplan where like a bathroom leads to a bedroom lol. I know this would be a nightmare in real life but it is soooo fun in the Sims lol
You just reminded me of how empty those penthouses be in city living 😭 it would be cool if you could renovate those with base game things or with any packs you like :)
my sister wouldn’t go on the highway for years, and still tries to avoid it. so, it can be big deal!! give yourself credit because you did it!! good job kayla :)
yesss that boat wallpaper is so disgustingly spicy *chefs kiss* i used it for the first time as a fake mural in a public pool build and it fills my heart with glee every time i remember its there
Love your driving story. Just had a conversation with my brother about conquering fears. Very inspiring! 🙂 keep up the good work and the amazing builds in the world of The Sims! And keep smiling ☺️. (It's a great smile)
Honestly, The purple master bedroom, the sailboat wallpaper, this house is just very 2000's. The craftsman style bed, it feels like it was built in the 2000's then maybe the new family came in, asked to keep the parent's bed in the signing agreement. I see that background for this house.
thank you for talking about your driving anxiety. i also have terrible driving anxiety and i’m currently 15 and learning how to drive. i break down everytime i get in the car even when my parents are there. now i know i’m not the only one!
Omg I’m glad you’re okay. I had someone run a stop sign and hit me before, so I would have screamed and cried to. 4 way stops still trip me out. Love the blue suburban. 💙🙋🏾♀️
Kayla is one of the few sims youtubers that genuinely always has good representation. Like I know it’s just the individuals preference, but it’s nice to watch a sims video with kayla with queer relationships and non-cis characters in the game!
Kayla!!! Your driving anxiety is valid and you took a huge step today, be proud of that!!! It’s all about the baby steps 😌💕 you’re doing amazing girl 💕💕💕
I love this house, no lie all the uniqueness you were afraid to put in I think was so great, the orange wall, the dark blue room and the art studio room is all so cool, I love the vibes!! 😍
I wish the sims had an easy way to toggle empty/built lots, or randomize lots, or even just have a few different preset layouts for each world. It would help the game feel fresh. Theres only so many i want to marry a alexander goth
I’m proud of you for continuing to work on confronting the things that cause you anxiety! Also, now I’m remembering the fish basement from your 100 baby challenge. It was awesome. Cute house!
i love houses that look the same! my grandma’s house and my friend’s gma’s house (in different neighborhoods may i add) have the exact same interior, just different furniture, walls, etc.. it’s so cool
I have been scared to drive ever since I was in a car accident. Then after I had my son I was in another one and broke my neck and a couple ribs. After that I was scared to even get in a car for the longest time. I am ok with that now but haven't driven for over a decade now.
i teared up when she put the non-binary flag in the bedroom. i am non-binary and my family doesn't accept me, but knowing that Kayla would just makes me emotional 💛🤍💜🖤
@@staright. thank you, i love the sims community. its a community for everyone of all colors, races, genders etc etc. i feel very lucky to have found this community ❤️
The practical limitations you apply onto your builds is absolutely why you are my favourite builder of all. Plus you do brilliant and aesthetically pleasing builds. 💙
congrats on braving the highway! i don't generally have a lot of driving anxiety, except when it comes to driving on the highway, and i've still never done it alone, so i relate to that one
Honestly, I never knew someone who had driving anxiety so everybody around me struggled to understand my issues. Then I started watching your videos and you mentioned it sometimes and it helped me a lot (that I'm not alone with it) Thank you
@@staright. it means that you don't identify as 100% girl/boy, but not really as enby either. For me personally, I use she/they pronouns, but that can be different for each person.

I think it's her goal to put it up on the gallery when it's finished.
I think she's already doing that!
Yes!
You should be proud of yourself! My family always talked about how dangerous the highways were. That combined with an accident made me cry too while driving. I'm happy to say now I go everywhere! The exposure helps! Podcasts helped me too!
Omg I love the nonbinary kids bedroom!! You probably wont see this kayla but as a nonbinary/queer person I feel so welcomed in the community you've made 💖 I wish there were gender customization for kids and they/them pronouns :(
This!🖤
I seriously almost cried when I saw her do it :3
@lemon demon When I tell you that I've spent hours looking for a mod to do that :-/ But never found it T.T
theres no mod i could find with nonbinary options bc apparently gender is just baked into the programming but there was one that changed all personal pronouns to they/them but idk what it was called :/
Same!!
I have terrible driving anxiety as a 24 year old. I'm working on getting over it as well, so I totally relate to your stories. I love that you're open about it, I've not seen other people who are, and it makes me feel not alone. So thank you. And congratulations on making that milestone of driving the highway alone! It may not seem like a lot to others, but that's huge! Especially here with Florida's traffic. Good luck on your continued progress!
Unassuming person: what is the style of your dream home?
Me: oh, definitely a Simsie Suburban
I like the orange wallpaper near the bed as the orange guitar is a similar shade to the wallpaper and the dark orange mat looks really nice. So I think you did such a fantastic job. 🙂
OMG I'm 38 and I haven't driven a car since like 2007. The last time I drove I had such a bad panic attack I almost blacked out. I hate driving anxiety, esp living in CA.
Thank you so much for talking about your anxiety around driving! I had huge issues with that and am still sensitive around it, but luckily after two years, including eight months of having to drive separate highways to and from work and do spontaneous trips to places I've never been before, I recently realised I now feel somewhat secure. I'd still rather someone else drive and I get another responsibility, but I can now feel independent and like I could pick up my friends or family when they need it. It's really something that might feel isolating, especially when everyone else seems to either be super excited or see driving as boring routine. My driving instructors surely made me feel like I was the problem (not by being unkind, just baffled by the situation). So, again, thanks for sharing!
the fact that this video is EXACTLY 20 minutes is making me feel amazing

No one:
Kayla: casually pulls out the cupcake machine and immediately puts it back
i love ad kayak, i’m proud of her
I took newcrest and I’m busy making it into a Wodehouse-themed city. Blandings Castle, the golf club from the golf stories, the Drones Club... basically any building featured in P. G. Wodehouse’s books.
Tbh you're the only builder I've seen who puts pride flags in their builds when it's not June.
And as a non binary trans person oh my god I appreciate it
sammmmeeeee im gender fluid and bi so i just love seeing it so much and i love how she doesnt make it a big deal either shes just like oh and theres a non-binary flag and thats the end of it!
same
Ikr, and Dude when she put the non binary flag my little non binary heart got so freaking happy-
@@nobrain6094 same and i love ur pfp!!!!! Shinso is amazing lol
omg simsie!! thank you for sharing about the driving experience! I have anxiety & driving anxiety is really hard for me as well. I drive but only to the same few close places to my house, and I avoid the highway at all costs too. I have practiced with my husband to get better at it but I did it ALONE this last week too for the first time!! AND I LITERALLY WAS LISTENING TO TAYLOR TOO HAHA! “this is me trying” came on and I teared up because I was so proud of myself for doing it and that song is sooo emotional for me. but seriously merging is SO scary and driving is OVERSTIMULATING. I mean theres at least 5 factors to be considering at all times (speed, following gps directions, staying in the lane, other cars getting over, blind spots) that make me so nervous. but challenging my fears and showing myself I CAN do it is sooo much progress.
GOOD JOB KAYLA!
we have the power, NOT our anxiety!!
I recognized it immediately as the house my current generations is living in, it's my fifth/sixth generation with alien dad, human mom and 2 hybrid daughters. It's a lovely house. Looking forward to the completed newcrest
Proud of you for tackling your fears and exposing yourself to stressful situations! I also have driving anxiety and I'm a little older than you, and it's nothing to be ashamed of since everyone is different.
The skill room looks like it used to be the nursery, I love it!
The way that simsie talks about her driving anxiety, makes me feel so much better about my own driving anxiety. I completely understand the fear of highways and will take alternate routes whenever possible
this is like so funny with taylor yelling 'are u ready for it', you made my day LMAO
I feel you on the driving anxiety. I will cry if someone backseat drives me
On your next house you should make ever room be on a different platform, like the gazebo, but that would be the kitchen and another one would be the living room. You would put dining room on one and bedroom one another. (Bathroom, kids room, entry room, laundry room.) They would all be connected by a bridge or something. I also think it would be cool if you made a room for a dog or dogs, meaning you make a bedroom, but for dogs. With a bed, food and water bowl,a red fire hydrant (instead of the toilet because dogs pee on them). If you do, do this, will you get a Black Labrador Retriever and a Golden Retriever( in memory of two of my dogs that pasted away a year ago). Below are some cute names for the dogs.
so happy for you driving on the highway like that! ive always been super anxious about driving, and since lockdown i haven’t driven in months and the idea of doing it again is just getting scarier and scarier
One thing I like to do in my legacy/rags to riches challenges is build as the gameplay goes, so in the end I get a very big house with this weird floorplan where like a bathroom leads to a bedroom lol. I know this would be a nightmare in real life but it is soooo fun in the Sims lol
10:39 YEAHHHH NONBINARY (me) REPRESENTATION I LOVE IT!!!!!! 💞💞💞
You just reminded me of how empty those penthouses be in city living 😭 it would be cool if you could renovate those with base game things or with any packs you like :)
I love your driving updates. I have pretty bad anxiety from driving as well and it helps knowing I am not alone ☺️❤️
I didnt notice that it was a speedbuild so I just went "WTF HOW SHE BUILD THAT FAST" like I was so fascinated until I saw her hands move.
I like that you used different decorations and furniture. I’m partial to orange and I love the purple parents room too. It’s a great build!
my sister wouldn’t go on the highway for years, and still tries to avoid it. so, it can be big deal!! give yourself credit because you did it!! good job kayla :)
yesss that boat wallpaper is so disgustingly spicy *chefs kiss* i used it for the first time as a fake mural in a public pool build and it fills my heart with glee every time i remember its there
I can't describe how much it means to see Kayla put a pride flag in each of the 2 kid/teen bedrooms. 🥺😊💖🏳️🌈 Thank you !
Love your driving story. Just had a conversation with my brother about conquering fears. Very inspiring! 🙂 keep up the good work and the amazing builds in the world of The Sims! And keep smiling ☺️. (It's a great smile)
my next door neighbor has the same house as me but mirrored and whenever i go in there i feel disoriented.
also we stan a non binary and trans ally
i noticed that!!!! i stannn
A lot of people can relate to anxiety around driving! I have been there for sure!
Good for you for moving out of your comfort zone.
Kayla while building a blue suburban: „I‘m trying to branch out!!!“
Honestly, The purple master bedroom, the sailboat wallpaper, this house is just very 2000's. The craftsman style bed, it feels like it was built in the 2000's then maybe the new family came in, asked to keep the parent's bed in the signing agreement. I see that background for this house.
Ok, I love how the story became 'i went on the highway alone' to all this other stuff, culminating in 'Dan was in the car and I was crying.' 😳
thank you for talking about your driving anxiety. i also have terrible driving anxiety and i’m currently 15 and learning how to drive. i break down everytime i get in the car even when my parents are there. now i know i’m not the only one!
Oooooh can't wait to see this develop
I honestly love this build. It gives me ideas for a cute little family that I need to make now
Yes I’ve been waiting for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg I’m glad you’re okay. I had someone run a stop sign and hit me before, so I would have screamed and cried to. 4 way stops still trip me out. Love the blue suburban. 💙🙋🏾♀️
WE LOVE THE NON-BINARY/TRANS REPRESENTATION
Kayla is one of the few sims youtubers that genuinely always has good representation. Like I know it’s just the individuals preference, but it’s nice to watch a sims video with kayla with queer relationships and non-cis characters in the game!
Kayla!!! Your driving anxiety is valid and you took a huge step today, be proud of that!!! It’s all about the baby steps 😌💕 you’re doing amazing girl 💕💕💕
thank you for representing the non-binary community kayla
I love this house, no lie all the uniqueness you were afraid to put in I think was so great, the orange wall, the dark blue room and the art studio room is all so cool, I love the vibes!! 😍
The non-binary flag room 😭😭 I love it so much. I wish that was my bedroom 🥺
Same
change it to a bi flag and I’ll take it
10:05 lilsimsie is a rep stan we love to see that !
I wish the sims had an easy way to toggle empty/built lots, or randomize lots, or even just have a few different preset layouts for each world. It would help the game feel fresh. Theres only so many i want to marry a alexander goth
I love that you talk about your driving anxiety, I struggle with driving too and it's so nice to know that I'm not alone :)
Stupid people : blah blah blah representation isn't important
Me : *almost cries when my comfort youtuber puts a non-binary flag on the wall*
big same 🥺💜
I’m proud of you for continuing to work on confronting the things that cause you anxiety!
Also, now I’m remembering the fish basement from your 100 baby challenge. It was awesome.
Cute house!
kayla putting the non-binary and trans flags makes me so happy to be represented :)
same!!
@@holly___ im pretty sure its the genderqueer flag!
i love houses that look the same! my grandma’s house and my friend’s gma’s house (in different neighborhoods may i add) have the exact same interior, just different furniture, walls, etc.. it’s so cool
I have been scared to drive ever since I was in a car accident. Then after I had my son I was in another one and broke my neck and a couple ribs. After that I was scared to even get in a car for the longest time. I am ok with that now but haven't driven for over a decade now.
i relate so heavily to the driving anxiety and it comforts me a lot to know others feel the same omg
i teared up when she put the non-binary flag in the bedroom. i am non-binary and my family doesn't accept me, but knowing that Kayla would just makes me emotional 💛🤍💜🖤
Aw I’m sorry your family doesn’t accept u we ALL accept this is a safe space 💖
@@staright. thank you, i love the sims community. its a community for everyone of all colors, races, genders etc etc. i feel very lucky to have found this community ❤️
@@vexbo7 💖💖💖
@@staright. i wish we had they them pronouns in the sims 😭
The practical limitations you apply onto your builds is absolutely why you are my favourite builder of all. Plus you do brilliant and aesthetically pleasing builds. 💙
i really like the character in this house :) it feels like a real house, especially all the bedrooms. awesome work
Early! Waiting the whole day for the video
10:03
Ooh i love that song/album too! I think its great and one of her best albums
Iam early for kayak’s vid ✨✨✨
congrats on braving the highway! i don't generally have a lot of driving anxiety, except when it comes to driving on the highway, and i've still never done it alone, so i relate to that one
Me: I’m inspired to build now!
Me five mins later: nah fam
Kayla, as a new drive let hearing you talk about your experience makes me feel much better about my anxiety of being on the road :)
Wow I’m early
Honestly, I never knew someone who had driving anxiety so everybody around me struggled to understand my issues. Then I started watching your videos and you mentioned it sometimes and it helped me a lot (that I'm not alone with it)
Thank you
As a gay demigirl, I love the use of different pride flags 😌
same!!
Not to be rude but what does demi-girl/demi-boy mean?
@@staright. it means that you don't identify as 100% girl/boy, but not really as enby either. For me personally, I use she/they pronouns, but that can be different for each person.
@@SammyLammy1D okay ty I support 💖💖
@@staright. thanks 💝
Thank you for talking about your driving anxiety, it gives me a lot of courage to try to get over my own❤️
AT 2:58 THE ROOF WAS TWERKING 😂😂😂😂
I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT😂😂😂
