Thank you all so much for the incredible support and loving messages on this video. I wish I could hug you all back. It just means so much to me that you took the time to write me and show your love ❤️
Tashapolis Hi Natasha! First off I want to say how deeply sorry I am for your the death of your mother. From seeing your other videos you’ve said how you haven’t had the greatest relationship with her but it was so evident of your love for her! I just want to commend you for getting through this time and also tell you how much I appreciate you love and seriousness you take in your relationship with God. It is evident how much you appreciate it and want to improve yourself. I wanted to share one of my favorite scriptures and I hope it gives you a measure of comfort in this hard time like it has helped me. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”-Revelations 21:4 I also wanted to share this website that has helped me grow in my own faith with God. It has wonderful videos, articles, and books that I hope you or anyone else reading this will gain comfort during these hard times. Thank you for being so open on your channel and I hope you and your family stay safe during this time! www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1102017422&srcid=share Also your make up is still beautiful! Your still beautiful! Your so strong during this hard time!
It might be weird, but it was the outro screen and music that made me start crying. That outro has been a part of my life, and a comfort, for so many years. I turned to your videos when I was suicidal and at the lowest point in my life. To me, it represented all of the history and growth you have gone through, and showed that you have pulled through and remained true to yourself even facing the hardest of tribulations. That takes such strength. You are such an inspiration, Natasha ❤️.
I don't normally comment on TH-cam all that often but I felt I needed to with this. Natasha you are one of the few TH-camrs I watch constantly. Your love of books and fandoms and your general views on the world and the way you speak about your troubles and aspirations helps me in my dark times when my anxiety feels like it's weighing me down, when I don't feel like I can mentally deal with anything at all. You are an inspiration and I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine. I am sure you will go out into the world when this is over and do all the things you want to, and this video has made me want to do the same. To see the worth in myself. Never stop doing what you're doing because it is so wonderful and important. Anyways, I just wanted to say this because sometimes it's good to tell someone how much you really appreciate them (even if I'm just some girl from all the way across the pond). I wish you all the wonderful things in life XXX P.s. your Wonder Woman cosplays give me life 😍
I don't usually comment on videos just because I don't think I have anything special to say lol but I have to say that you are one of the few people I most admire here on TH-cam. I found your channel after the Vampire Academy premiere (btw I was at that premiere in LA!) and have been following all your socials ever since. I admire how strong you are. I know it's not easy but you have the best friend in this entire universe by your side: Jesus. And trust me when I say it, you reflect Him. I don't know you in real life but from what I've watched over the years, I see His love in you, in the way you express yourself in videos, posts, tweets, etc. I love that you are such fangirl because that helped me being more of myself since most people around me just don't get what being a fan is about. It's been great to see your evolution, being more fashionista, discovering beautiful outfits that fits your style and showing people that fat is not a bad word. You inspire people, you inspire me. I'm truly sorry for your lost. Like you said, God has a purpose in every single thing in our lives, even this quarentine. So thank you for sharing your life with us, thank you for being you. Sending you all the love and virtual hugs! God bless you and your family
I got into the video not expecting to cry, but I cried at the end when you cried. I am just among many people who care about you, there's a high probability you will not see my comments, but i just want to say, thank you for the video, for being honest and real to us, I think it is important to know that just because some people carry it well , does not mean it is not heavy. Thank you giving you a big virtual hug and all of those reading this.
I'm not christian, I'm actually muslim, and seeing how devoted you are to your faith is so beautiful. Although we have different beliefs, it's still inspiring to see devotion being represented, it hardly is these days, and I can completely relate to what you said about religion. Stay strong Natasha, I hope you achieve all that you aspire to. I'll pray for you throughout this ramadhan
Your such an inspiration. I lost my mom too almost 3 years ago next month. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and I’m still dealing with. But your doing the right thing for you and that’s what matters. Thank you for making this video as hard as this was for you you to make. You are a beautiful person inside and out!❤️❤️❤️
my mom died a year ago and you have been an inspiration to me since day 1. you are incredible, and i can't wait to see what you do and read the books you write. especially if you write a memoir!
You should know that you are such a poweful young lady. And the stuff you say encourages not only me at 50, but my daughter at 27. We heard about your mom and we bothe cried and prayed for you and the family. Keep doing what you do your parents are so proud of you. And do all those things you wat to do. I see you achieving every one of them. You are such a blessing too a lot of women. Love you and your brother to the moon and beyond.
Wow. I was not expecting to feel so touched by the end of this year. I'm a big girl with big dreams and have never felt like they've been available to me. I've wanted to spread music far and wide and have been told to wait until I'm thin enough. This is why I've been grateful to have Lizzo as an inspiration. I'm so sorry about your mom but thank you for sharing your story. It really has me thinking and I'm so glad that you could show that you can be successful no matter what. Thank you.
Honestly I couldn't watch the whole video because I have so much school work right now. But as someone who is not at all religious. I respect you as a person so much. Having a personal relationship with God and your faith is an amazing and beautiful thing. And people like you who are so positive and and who use your faith to be the best version of yourself, and who use it as a positive force show me how wonderful religion can be. As a history major who has studied faith throughout history, I have seen how beautiful and how detrimental it can be. So your view of it being personal and your own and just something good is so so beautiful and powerful. Just wanted to put that out there, it's people like you who give religion a good name amongst all the ways people use it negatively, and who show it can be positive(you and Jess&Gabriel Conte have shown this to me, I had such negative experiences with religion before you guys). People like you have helped me gain respect for faith and how positive it can be. Love you
Your words really inspired me today. I don't know what to say or how to say it, but I'm sooo happy I found you and I wish you all the good and all the success in the world. This quarantine has been hard and scary. I have an autoimmune condition so I'm terrified of catching the virus. I haven't left the house in over two weeks and it's finally affecting me emotionally. I miss just being able to go out without fear. But this is all temporary, and we're going to come out of this stronger and we're really going to cherish the simple things.
Gosh Natasha you are the most beautiful and brilliant soul. The way you have taken some of the worst things life can throw at a person and allowed yourself to grow within that but also be so open about it so gracefully is amazing. I have zero doubt that you will achieve everything you desire to because your will and drive to be the light people need is a sheer force of nature. All my love to you and Alex as you figure this new chapter out x
Natasha, you are an incredible and probably the nicest person i've ever met though not even in real life.i usually don't leave comments but right now i just had to say it - you need to know that you save souls. i'm on my lowest place in emotions in my entire life, just desperate, all the time crying blub. but right now i'm crying of happiness and mentally hugging you, sister. be brave, be stronger, be yourself. we are here for you and oh Lord we feel that you are here for us 💕thank you for everything that you do and say, you are gorgeous
I don’t usually comment, but I had to thank you for being so vulnerable. I am so encouraged by your faith and positivity through all of this. You are a role model. Keep going and make those dreams a reality❤️ love, from Cape Town South Africa
I love these videos of when successful people like you share their hardships and how they are human like everyone else. I really needed this and your videos have always been my favorite from the bookish fandoms to random...fandoms. You always seem to have a smile on your face and that is what I call a strong woman! Keep your chin up, keep being yourself, and keep going for those goals.
Natasha, I have been watching your videos and loving your personality for years!! Oh, how much I have to thank you for!!! Honestly, you have always been a ray of sunshine which was strong enough to show me a spark of hope even in my darkest, heaviest times. I am immensely grateful to you for your kind heart, endless well of energy and for inspiring me to not give up, but to strive towards becoming my best self, and loving myself for all that I have been, am and will become. THANK YOU! 💜💜💜 Am I crying? Maybe. Your song, and all the memories and feelings that came with it just let all those tears loose. But I promise I will always try to keep calm and fan girl on!!! 💜💜💜
Tasha, you are an AMAZING young woman!! You are going to have a brilliant life and I love seeing your passion for what you do and how you are always empowering women. I am so sorry to hear about your mom, I know what it's like to lose a mother when you are young. You are STRONG and you will do great things!! Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with us.
You are BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I love you so much and wish I could give you the biggest hug. You truly are one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I along with so many others watching support and love you endlessly❤️
Thank you Natasha you are absolutely an amazing person and inspiration. You are so successful and you make everyone so proud. You definitely give me hope, you are so strong despite what you have gone through and I admire that. I am so sorry for your loss I definitely feel your pain. Today marks three weeks since my papa passed and it’s hard because he was basically my dad even though he was my grandfather. It’s so hard to lose the ones we love but just remember that they are the lucky ones because they are at home with god and they are at peace. And we will find our peace too that’s what god intended, we just have to hurt for a little first. Sending you prayers and hugs -- Kenzie ❤️
I have no hope.....I'm stuck. I'm a mom of 4 and am struggling. Your positivity and light through challanges and darkness really inspires me ♡ my heart is reaching out to you right now ♡ xoxo
So sorry for your loss! I can’t imagine the pain. 💗 I’ll be praying for you, girl! Thank you for opening up so beautifully. Through your vulnerability, we can see your God-given light. 😘❤️
I just wanted to say that we all LOVE LOVE LOVE you!! And I just wanted to say I'm giving you a big virtual hug. Super proud of you where you are at in this wild journey in life. I hope that no matter what you always know how proud people are of you, how appreciated you are, and also are extra kind and loving to yourself
One of the strongest, kindest, and most beautiful women :,) my heart goes out to you and your brother with what you’ve gone through. Stay strong, we’ll be here with you every step of the way 💓
'I'm gonna miss my parents' really got me, as someone who still has both but has a pretty rocky relationship. Definitely want to fix my relationship with them before anything happens.
You are such a smart beautiful woman. You are unstoppable and you lead with kindness compassion and love. Sending you all my love and I can’t wait to see your amazing journey in life keep blossoming! 💜🌞🙏🏻
You are such a beautiful person inside and out, and I am so inspired by you. I wish I could give you a big hug because you are going through a tough time that I haven’t had to experience, but the least I can say is that I love you, keep up the hard work because you are a wonderful inspiration and role model for me and many other, and you are in my prayers. 💕
Oh my goodness Natasha, I just really wish I could give you the biggest hug. You are constantly in my thoughts. I know you are going to accomplish everything you talked about and I can’t wait to watch you achieve it all. You are so strong and empowering, I’m so glad to have grown up with women like you to show me the way. I absolutely love all of the content you’ve been posting lately on Instagram and the messages you continue to spread. I’m so glad I can bear them in mind on my own path. Thank you for providing hope to so many people, including myself
Yes I’m crying! Thank you for posting this and being so real and uplifting in a time that feels very low! I truly believe that you will accomplish all of those goals and inspire those around you to do the same!!!😭💕
Thank you for sharing this kind of content on your channel, booktube and TH-cam in general needs it. I’m so sorry about your mom passing away, sending prayers and love your way
Love your outspokenness about your relationship with Christ! You’re such a strong woman & I look up to you so much for it. ♥️ You definitely made me cry!
This is my first TH-cam comment ever! I just had to say, I loved this video so much. Tasha is such a doll. This was the most motivating video I have ever watched. I loved this. Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss, Natasha. I just lost my grandma and it’s been the hardest thing to go through. Just know your parents are always with you and surrounding you with so much love. I just started reading Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson and it has been helping my heart. Stay safe and healthy, praying for you and your brother ❤️
The way you have continued to share your life with us is truly inspiring. My heart aches for you and Alex and I pray for the both of you all the time. Thank you for sharing your faith in a way I have never seen represented before. I'm a liberal but I love the Lord and people don't always get what that's like. You're an amazing human being and I look forward to watching you grow into the incredible person God has planned. You will always have my support. Love you
i wish i could give you a hug you’re so strong and inspiring ❤️ i’ve been watching your channel since almost the beginning during my high school years and now i’m graduated and working &it’s been so inspirational seeing you grow and accomplish over all these years... :’) i’ve also always loved hearing you talk about your faith bc it makes me feel like i can embrace it and not hide it since there’s a lot of controversy/stigma around it... anyways thanks so much for showing me and others we can be strong women and people in general no matter what life throws at us... i’m wishing the best for your future! ❤️❤️❤️ you’re doing amazing! ☺️
words can’t describe how you must have been feeling this past month. so sorry for your loss Natasha, praying for God to send you and your brother an inexplicable peace during already scary times. we’re all here for you 🖤✨
There are a lot of things I could say in response to this video, but just mainly want to leave you with some encouragement. You are a Proverbs 31 woman!! Creative! Industrious! Beautiful! Stay strong in your faith. There is absolute hope in our Lord Jesus! 💜💜💜
Thank you for the encouraging words you shared in this video, about it never being too late. I'm 35, and have missed out on a lot of life due to an anxiety disorder. I've never had a job, dropped out of college, and though I live on my own, it's in a government- subsidized apartment and I am so unhappy not being able to find a way to support myself and truly live the life I want. Because of my anxiety, I don't have friends and am not close to family. My best friend and biggest supporter was my mom, who died last year after suffering a brain hemorrhage. That was devastating emotionally, but also set off a few financial changes that meant losing most of my benefits - healthcare, food, extra cash assistance. It's scary and sometimes I feel so defeated and alone, since the few family members I am in contact with are just not there for me. One is too focused on his own life to even truly listen to me, and the other pushes me away if I start mentioning my struggles. She just wants weekly updates to know I am "okay". The only thing that has gotten me through this year has been my relationship with Christ. It was rocky at first, as I was fairly new to Christ anyway, but I started reading my Bible everyday and praying, anyway. Normally I read murder mysteries (I want to be a mystery writer), but I found myself craving something else last year and started getting into Christian Fiction, particularly about women having to rebuild a life after a tragedy. One of the best books I read last year was Where We Belong by Lynn Austin, about two Christian sisters in the 1800s who not only don't fit in with what society expects their life to be (they want to study and travel abroad, and as daughters of a wealthy father, society expects them to first focus on getting a husband, and then relinquish all control of their fortune to that husband) but also experience the trauma of the Great Chicago Fire. Whenever something was difficult, they reminded themselves and each other of a particular Bible verse. I don't remember which one right now, but I took the basic idea and found it helpful to be able to repeat one or two verses of Scripture or a hymn to myself when I got worried or felt overwhelmed.
I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years. I’m glad to watch a video like this and know the genuine drive behind your effort. All the love to you!
I love you Tasha! I wish I could jump through the camera and hug you so tight! You are so strong and you will continue to get through this! I believe in you and you've given me hope for my future as well!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss Natasha, truly. I don't know you personally, but I have found a lot of comfort from your video's and identity with many of the things you share. You are a bright light, whatever toxicity you have had to grow through, know that the cycle stops with you. No human is perfect, but you have the ability to create a safe space for you and your brother and hopefully future family. May your mother rest in peace, may you find comfort in your heart and may you receive what you've been praying for in abundance xxx
I'm really really sorry to hear that about your moms passing. My heart goes out to you and I personally know how it feels. My momma passed away when I was 7 years old so I understand how you are feeling and how much it hurts. But what's always helped me is knowing shes with god and when it will be my time to go shes going to be the first person I see. If you need a person to reach out and talk to through these hard times who can kind of understand you can send me a message on here. You'll get through this. Just remember those happy memories you shared with her and its okay to cry and not feel okay about it or just having good days. Those days help a little bit. She would still want you to live your life and be happy even during these hard times.
I wish I had even 1% of your confidence and strength. I’ve been depressed for so long that I just don’t know how to get out of it. I did all of the things you’re “supposed” to do, high school graduate, college degree, find a job and be an adult. I’m so unhappy though. I’m so jealous of people that have drive and ambition and dreams. Now I have debt and a degree that took 6 years to get but I don’t know what to do with. I don’t have passion. I’m 26 and I just feel like I’m constantly behind. I hope this move I made (right before the world went to chaos) will help me grow and get inspired. Good luck to everyone in these trying times. Virtual hugs to you Natasha, you’re in my prayers. And I love your sweatshirt 💜🙌🏼😭🙏🏼
You are such an inspiration! This video makes me want to work even harder to reach my goals! I've thought back on my college experience and there are times that I wish I didn't go. I'm in so much debt and I haven't even entered the field I went to school for. It's frustrating at times. I know I need connections but sometimes it's difficult to be noticed in the sea of faces. I hope I get there eventually!
Book-Bosomed my husband is in the same boat as you and it is really hard. Keep working on it and I’m sure something will turn up eventually! Good luck!
God does not give us more than our souls can handle. Tasha, you are truly clothed in strength. Situations that you have been through would've done some people in, and rightfully so, but you continue to lean on God and work towards a beautiful life. Your parents are extremely proud of you and Alex. You are such an inspiration to me and I wish that I had you as a best friend. We have so much in common! We're both fraternal twins, we both are the biggest fangirls, and we both are proud plus women! Oh well, maybe in another life 😁 Keep being the strong pillar of light that this world so desperately needs. We all love you!
I honestly just like you allot; what a kind soul. I'm not religious. I lost it a long time ago, but there are times I wish I was. I know having faith can make some people better humans and listening to you; you are a great reminder of that. What a good example of a person of faith. I hope your heart finds healing quickly because the world needs people like you weather they are religious or not. Just good kind souls and that want to see good in this world.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're such a strong, inspirational and beautiful person, inside and out. Darkness won't diminish your light hun, you'll burn brighter. Stay strong.
You are so strong, I’m so sorry about your mom, I know the situation was hard. I truly wish you all the best. May all your dreams come true and some that you never even expected ❤️
Super late to this video, but I think Natasha, your goals about wanting to see more plus-sized women in movies is admirable. I want to be in entertainment as well and create the stories I want to see with main characters who look more like me. I believe when you release a clothing line it will be amazing. Your fashion sense is on point all the time. I love your content so much; it is always inspiring. Thank you for being so real with us.
I wish so much happiness for you. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us. You’re so strong for being able to do that. I’m so excited to see what this next chapter of life holds for you. ❤️
This was a video I needed to see. I'm graduating and trying to get my life on track. I'm working on skills to become a better candidate and because I love doing it. I wish you nothing but the best Natasha ♥️♥️
This was so beautifully raw and inspiring. Thank you so much for putting this out here. You're so very loved, by God and so many others. Praying for you❤️
You are going to make life how you want it to be . If you have failures that is a good thing because it means you didn't give up. We are living in a scary time right now and I am scared , I am 44 and scared. But I won't let fear stop me from my dreams and neither should you . Keep going forward , keep making life how you want it. As long as you are happy that is all that matters . Make your dreams come true , make a clothing line , you want to be like Reese Witherspoon do it. The only thing stopping you is fear and not trying at all. I may not know you in person but I believe in you. You got this .
You are such a strong person, and God has shined through you. Honestly, I loved this and It's no cool to have watched you grow. I love watching you talk about books and about fashion, and about Jesus, and it's so nice having someone to watch that shares some of the same interests as me and who is so sweet and strong and admirable. Stay safe!
You are such an inspiration! I so appreciate that you are willing to share yourself with us. I know that you will continue to succeed. You inspire me to embrace myself and strengthen my relationship with Christ, and for that I’m extremely grateful. I wish you the best and I can’t wait to see where you go from here!
Girl I am so freaking proud of you for following Jesus and being unashamed about it! I love you very dearly as a follower of yours and am praying for you and what you have been going through, especially recently. Losing someone that close to you is NEVER easy and I'm so so sorry for that. I pray that you continue to feel Jesus' presence in your life while your grieving, in your joyous moments, crazy moments, all of them. You are such a strong and amazing inspiration to myself and many others. May Jesus' light continue to shine so bright
I am truly sorry that you lost your parents. I cannot see my life without my parents in it. Yes, I'm crying with you. I have missed you so much on YT. Love you, Tash!! ♥
You‘re such a great person. I hope that you can reach all your goals in the future. I can relate so strong to your words about personal growth. Better times will come, stay strong! 🌺
Hello from Argentina Natasha! ♥ I'm Orne, I love your videos so much! i'm so sorry for your loss...but stay strong girl! you can do this! You are not alone...Love you! Much love and hugs to you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story, your life, and all of your aspirations with us. I think you an incredible person to be so honest with us all and I can see that you have a heart for God. You've definitely inspired me to never give up, even when life seems tumultuous and hurtful...there is hope. A verse I really enjoy is Song of Solomon 2:11-12. I pray that you find healing and comfort through all of this.
Such a lovely video Tasha, praying for God's hand over these dreams you've set before yourself. :) I'm a mum and a writer, and have always felt these two things to be deep in my calling and God's design for me.
Aww Natasha! I'm so sorry, I heard about your mom's passing on social media, you will get through it, I have been through some tough times also and I got through it and you will too. I wish I could give you a hug, but I will give you a virtual hug *virtual hug* everything will be okay!
Hi! I’m a new viewer on your channel and I’m loving your content! Thank you for being so open with your feelings and your faith. You’re inspirational ☺️
Thank you all so much for the incredible support and loving messages on this video. I wish I could hug you all back. It just means so much to me that you took the time to write me and show your love ❤️
Tashapolis
Hi Natasha! First off I want to say how deeply sorry I am for your the death of your mother. From seeing your other videos you’ve said how you haven’t had the greatest relationship with her but it was so evident of your love for her! I just want to commend you for getting through this time and also tell you how much I appreciate you love and seriousness you take in your relationship with God. It is evident how much you appreciate it and want to improve yourself. I wanted to share one of my favorite scriptures and I hope it gives you a measure of comfort in this hard time like it has helped me.
“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”-Revelations 21:4
I also wanted to share this website that has helped me grow in my own faith with God. It has wonderful videos, articles, and books that I hope you or anyone else reading this will gain comfort during these hard times. Thank you for being so open on your channel and I hope you and your family stay safe during this time!
www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1102017422&srcid=share
Also your make up is still beautiful! Your still beautiful! Your so strong during this hard time!
It might be weird, but it was the outro screen and music that made me start crying.
That outro has been a part of my life, and a comfort, for so many years. I turned to your videos when I was suicidal and at the lowest point in my life.
To me, it represented all of the history and growth you have gone through, and showed that you have pulled through and remained true to yourself even facing the hardest of tribulations.
That takes such strength.
You are such an inspiration, Natasha ❤️.
That’s not weird at all! It’s nostalgic for me and those who have been with me for a long time. Love you ❤️
*hugs* It is so hard to lose your parents so young. You and your brother are in my heart and prayers.
I don't normally comment on TH-cam all that often but I felt I needed to with this. Natasha you are one of the few TH-camrs I watch constantly. Your love of books and fandoms and your general views on the world and the way you speak about your troubles and aspirations helps me in my dark times when my anxiety feels like it's weighing me down, when I don't feel like I can mentally deal with anything at all. You are an inspiration and I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine. I am sure you will go out into the world when this is over and do all the things you want to, and this video has made me want to do the same. To see the worth in myself. Never stop doing what you're doing because it is so wonderful and important. Anyways, I just wanted to say this because sometimes it's good to tell someone how much you really appreciate them (even if I'm just some girl from all the way across the pond). I wish you all the wonderful things in life XXX
P.s. your Wonder Woman cosplays give me life 😍
I love hearing about people’s path to where they are now. It’s never a straight one but that makes life more interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I don't usually comment on videos just because I don't think I have anything special to say lol but I have to say that you are one of the few people I most admire here on TH-cam. I found your channel after the Vampire Academy premiere (btw I was at that premiere in LA!) and have been following all your socials ever since. I admire how strong you are. I know it's not easy but you have the best friend in this entire universe by your side: Jesus. And trust me when I say it, you reflect Him. I don't know you in real life but from what I've watched over the years, I see His love in you, in the way you express yourself in videos, posts, tweets, etc. I love that you are such fangirl because that helped me being more of myself since most people around me just don't get what being a fan is about.

I got into the video not expecting to cry, but I cried at the end when you cried. I am just among many people who care about you, there's a high probability you will not see my comments, but i just want to say, thank you for the video, for being honest and real to us, I think it is important to know that just because some people carry it well , does not mean it is not heavy.

I'm not christian, I'm actually muslim, and seeing how devoted you are to your faith is so beautiful. Although we have different beliefs, it's still inspiring to see devotion being represented, it hardly is these days, and I can completely relate to what you said about religion. Stay strong Natasha, I hope you achieve all that you aspire to. I'll pray for you throughout this ramadhan
When you click the video knowing it’s gonna make you cry- lots of love to you, you are a very strong and inspiring woman.
Your such an inspiration. I lost my mom too almost 3 years ago next month. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and I’m still dealing with. But your doing the right thing for you and that’s what matters. Thank you for making this video as hard as this was for you you to make. You are a beautiful person inside and out!❤️❤️❤️
I love the saying "Empowered women, Empower women", we all need to look out for one another and allow each of our own lights to shine brightly✨
my mom died a year ago and you have been an inspiration to me since day 1. you are incredible, and i can't wait to see what you do and read the books you write. especially if you write a memoir!
You should know that you are such a poweful young lady. And the stuff you say encourages not only me at 50, but my daughter at 27. We heard about your mom and we bothe cried and prayed for you and the family. Keep doing what you do your parents are so proud of you. And do all those things you wat to do. I see you achieving every one of them. You are such a blessing too a lot of women. Love you and your brother to the moon and beyond.
Wow. I was not expecting to feel so touched by the end of this year. I'm a big girl with big dreams and have never felt like they've been available to me. I've wanted to spread music far and wide and have been told to wait until I'm thin enough. This is why I've been grateful to have Lizzo as an inspiration. I'm so sorry about your mom but thank you for sharing your story. It really has me thinking and I'm so glad that you could show that you can be successful no matter what. Thank you.
Honestly I couldn't watch the whole video because I have so much school work right now. But as someone who is not at all religious. I respect you as a person so much. Having a personal relationship with God and your faith is an amazing and beautiful thing. And people like you who are so positive and and who use your faith to be the best version of yourself, and who use it as a positive force show me how wonderful religion can be. As a history major who has studied faith throughout history, I have seen how beautiful and how detrimental it can be. So your view of it being personal and your own and just something good is so so beautiful and powerful. Just wanted to put that out there, it's people like you who give religion a good name amongst all the ways people use it negatively, and who show it can be positive(you and Jess&Gabriel Conte have shown this to me, I had such negative experiences with religion before you guys). People like you have helped me gain respect for faith and how positive it can be. Love you
Your words really inspired me today. I don't know what to say or how to say it, but I'm sooo happy I found you and I wish you all the good and all the success in the world. This quarantine has been hard and scary. I have an autoimmune condition so I'm terrified of catching the virus. I haven't left the house in over two weeks and it's finally affecting me emotionally. I miss just being able to go out without fear. But this is all temporary, and we're going to come out of this stronger and we're really going to cherish the simple things.
I'm so very sorry for your loss Natasha. Your going to be okay. Much love and hugs to you ❤
Gosh Natasha you are the most beautiful and brilliant soul. The way you have taken some of the worst things life can throw at a person and allowed yourself to grow within that but also be so open about it so gracefully is amazing. I have zero doubt that you will achieve everything you desire to because your will and drive to be the light people need is a sheer force of nature. All my love to you and Alex as you figure this new chapter out x
i can't believe I've been fangirling on with you for over 5 years.
Natasha, you are an incredible and probably the nicest person i've ever met though not even in real life.i usually don't leave comments but right now i just had to say it - you need to know that you save souls. i'm on my lowest place in emotions in my entire life, just desperate, all the time crying blub. but right now i'm crying of happiness and mentally hugging you, sister. be brave, be stronger, be yourself. we are here for you and oh Lord we feel that you are here for us 💕thank you for everything that you do and say, you are gorgeous
I don’t usually comment, but I had to thank you for being so vulnerable. I am so encouraged by your faith and positivity through all of this. You are a role model. Keep going and make those dreams a reality❤️ love, from Cape Town South Africa
I love these videos of when successful people like you share their hardships and how they are human like everyone else. I really needed this and your videos have always been my favorite from the bookish fandoms to random...fandoms. You always seem to have a smile on your face and that is what I call a strong woman! Keep your chin up, keep being yourself, and keep going for those goals.
Natasha, I have been watching your videos and loving your personality for years!! Oh, how much I have to thank you for!!! Honestly, you have always been a ray of sunshine which was strong enough to show me a spark of hope even in my darkest, heaviest times. I am immensely grateful to you for your kind heart, endless well of energy and for inspiring me to not give up, but to strive towards becoming my best self, and loving myself for all that I have been, am and will become. THANK YOU! 💜💜💜
Am I crying? Maybe. Your song, and all the memories and feelings that came with it just let all those tears loose. But I promise I will always try to keep calm and fan girl on!!! 💜💜💜
Tasha, you are an AMAZING young woman!! You are going to have a brilliant life and I love seeing your passion for what you do and how you are always empowering women. I am so sorry to hear about your mom, I know what it's like to lose a mother when you are young. You are STRONG and you will do great things!! Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with us.
Love you, Natasha. I’ve been praying for you. You are a beautiful soul and I love your outlook on life!
You are BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I love you so much and wish I could give you the biggest hug. You truly are one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I along with so many others watching support and love you endlessly❤️
Thank you Natasha you are absolutely an amazing person and inspiration. You are so successful and you make everyone so proud. You definitely give me hope, you are so strong despite what you have gone through and I admire that. I am so sorry for your loss I definitely feel your pain. Today marks three weeks since my papa passed and it’s hard because he was basically my dad even though he was my grandfather. It’s so hard to lose the ones we love but just remember that they are the lucky ones because they are at home with god and they are at peace. And we will find our peace too that’s what god intended, we just have to hurt for a little first. Sending you prayers and hugs -- Kenzie ❤️
You are such a beautiful soul! ❤ It's a gift to have you here on TH-cam. Thank you, and stay strong!
I have no hope.....I'm stuck. I'm a mom of 4 and am struggling. Your positivity and light through challanges and darkness really inspires me ♡ my heart is reaching out to you right now ♡ xoxo
So sorry for your loss! I can’t imagine the pain. 💗 I’ll be praying for you, girl! Thank you for opening up so beautifully. Through your vulnerability, we can see your God-given light. 😘❤️
I just wanted to say that we all LOVE LOVE LOVE you!! And I just wanted to say I'm giving you a big virtual hug. Super proud of you where you are at in this wild journey in life. I hope that no matter what you always know how proud people are of you, how appreciated you are, and also are extra kind and loving to yourself
❤️❤️❤️
One of the strongest, kindest, and most beautiful women :,) my heart goes out to you and your brother with what you’ve gone through. Stay strong, we’ll be here with you every step of the way 💓
'I'm gonna miss my parents' really got me, as someone who still has both but has a pretty rocky relationship. Definitely want to fix my relationship with them before anything happens.
love you so so much Natasha and I'm so proud of you and love seeing you THRIVE!
You are such a smart beautiful woman. You are unstoppable and you lead with kindness compassion and love. Sending you all my love and I can’t wait to see your amazing journey in life keep blossoming! 💜🌞🙏🏻
You are such a beautiful person inside and out, and I am so inspired by you. I wish I could give you a big hug because you are going through a tough time that I haven’t had to experience, but the least I can say is that I love you, keep up the hard work because you are a wonderful inspiration and role model for me and many other, and you are in my prayers. 💕
Oh my goodness Natasha, I just really wish I could give you the biggest hug. You are constantly in my thoughts. I know you are going to accomplish everything you talked about and I can’t wait to watch you achieve it all. You are so strong and empowering, I’m so glad to have grown up with women like you to show me the way. I absolutely love all of the content you’ve been posting lately on Instagram and the messages you continue to spread. I’m so glad I can bear them in mind on my own path. Thank you for providing hope to so many people, including myself
I’m so proud of you and love watching your videos and seeing you grow 💗💗💗 I love hearing about your faith as well 💗
Yes I’m crying! Thank you for posting this and being so real and uplifting in a time that feels very low! I truly believe that you will accomplish all of those goals and inspire those around you to do the same!!!😭💕
Thank you for sharing this kind of content on your channel, booktube and TH-cam in general needs it. I’m so sorry about your mom passing away, sending prayers and love your way
This video was EVERYTHING! And yes, I cried, but that's okay. Much love to you 💕
You're incredible, Natasha. You are such a light in this community! Sending hugs!
Love your outspokenness about your relationship with Christ! You’re such a strong woman & I look up to you so much for it. ♥️ You definitely made me cry!
Such a beautiful soul! " There may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning."
May God Bless you and Keep You
Much Love,
Tiff😊
This is my first TH-cam comment ever! I just had to say, I loved this video so much. Tasha is such a doll. This was the most motivating video I have ever watched. I loved this. Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss, Natasha. I just lost my grandma and it’s been the hardest thing to go through. Just know your parents are always with you and surrounding you with so much love. I just started reading Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson and it has been helping my heart. Stay safe and healthy, praying for you and your brother ❤️
The way you have continued to share your life with us is truly inspiring. My heart aches for you and Alex and I pray for the both of you all the time. Thank you for sharing your faith in a way I have never seen represented before. I'm a liberal but I love the Lord and people don't always get what that's like. You're an amazing human being and I look forward to watching you grow into the incredible person God has planned. You will always have my support. Love you
i wish i could give you a hug you’re so strong and inspiring ❤️ i’ve been watching your channel since almost the beginning during my high school years and now i’m graduated and working &it’s been so inspirational seeing you grow and accomplish over all these years... :’) i’ve also always loved hearing you talk about your faith bc it makes me feel like i can embrace it and not hide it since there’s a lot of controversy/stigma around it... anyways thanks so much for showing me and others we can be strong women and people in general no matter what life throws at us... i’m wishing the best for your future! ❤️❤️❤️ you’re doing amazing! ☺️
You are the bravest woman. Love all your content and am so grateful for your courage to share your heart with us.
Many blessings little sista.

words can’t describe how you must have been feeling this past month. so sorry for your loss Natasha, praying for God to send you and your brother an inexplicable peace during already scary times. we’re all here for you 🖤✨
There are a lot of things I could say in response to this video, but just mainly want to leave you with some encouragement. You are a Proverbs 31 woman!! Creative! Industrious! Beautiful! Stay strong in your faith. There is absolute hope in our Lord Jesus! 💜💜💜
Thank you for the encouraging words you shared in this video, about it never being too late. I'm 35, and have missed out on a lot of life due to an anxiety disorder. I've never had a job, dropped out of college, and though I live on my own, it's in a government- subsidized apartment and I am so unhappy not being able to find a way to support myself and truly live the life I want. Because of my anxiety, I don't have friends and am not close to family. My best friend and biggest supporter was my mom, who died last year after suffering a brain hemorrhage. That was devastating emotionally, but also set off a few financial changes that meant losing most of my benefits - healthcare, food, extra cash assistance. It's scary and sometimes I feel so defeated and alone, since the few family members I am in contact with are just not there for me. One is too focused on his own life to even truly listen to me, and the other pushes me away if I start mentioning my struggles. She just wants weekly updates to know I am "okay". The only thing that has gotten me through this year has been my relationship with Christ. It was rocky at first, as I was fairly new to Christ anyway, but I started reading my Bible everyday and praying, anyway. Normally I read murder mysteries (I want to be a mystery writer), but I found myself craving something else last year and started getting into Christian Fiction, particularly about women having to rebuild a life after a tragedy. One of the best books I read last year was Where We Belong by Lynn Austin, about two Christian sisters in the 1800s who not only don't fit in with what society expects their life to be (they want to study and travel abroad, and as daughters of a wealthy father, society expects them to first focus on getting a husband, and then relinquish all control of their fortune to that husband) but also experience the trauma of the Great Chicago Fire. Whenever something was difficult, they reminded themselves and each other of a particular Bible verse. I don't remember which one right now, but I took the basic idea and found it helpful to be able to repeat one or two verses of Scripture or a hymn to myself when I got worried or felt overwhelmed.
I absolutely love you. I have for years now, and I’m so proud of you and how you represent your faith.
I love you, your an inspiration 💜 - I’m sorry about your mother. I wish you and your family all the happiness and love. 💛
I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years. I’m glad to watch a video like this and know the genuine drive behind your effort. All the love to you!
I love you Tasha! I wish I could jump through the camera and hug you so tight! You are so strong and you will continue to get through this! I believe in you and you've given me hope for my future as well!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss Natasha, truly. I don't know you personally, but I have found a lot of comfort from your video's and identity with many of the things you share. You are a bright light, whatever toxicity you have had to grow through, know that the cycle stops with you. No human is perfect, but you have the ability to create a safe space for you and your brother and hopefully future family. May your mother rest in peace, may you find comfort in your heart and may you receive what you've been praying for in abundance xxx
I'm really really sorry to hear that about your moms passing. My heart goes out to you and I personally know how it feels. My momma passed away when I was 7 years old so I understand how you are feeling and how much it hurts. But what's always helped me is knowing shes with god and when it will be my time to go shes going to be the first person I see. If you need a person to reach out and talk to through these hard times who can kind of understand you can send me a message on here. You'll get through this. Just remember those happy memories you shared with her and its okay to cry and not feel okay about it or just having good days. Those days help a little bit. She would still want you to live your life and be happy even during these hard times.
I wish I had even 1% of your confidence and strength. I’ve been depressed for so long that I just don’t know how to get out of it. I did all of the things you’re “supposed” to do, high school graduate, college degree, find a job and be an adult. I’m so unhappy though. I’m so jealous of people that have drive and ambition and dreams. Now I have debt and a degree that took 6 years to get but I don’t know what to do with. I don’t have passion. I’m 26 and I just feel like I’m constantly behind. I hope this move I made (right before the world went to chaos) will help me grow and get inspired. Good luck to everyone in these trying times. Virtual hugs to you Natasha, you’re in my prayers. And I love your sweatshirt 💜🙌🏼😭🙏🏼
Aww, that's okay, Natasha. Been here since the olden days, and still a strong supporter and fan of yours. Carry on!
You are such an inspiration! This video makes me want to work even harder to reach my goals!
I've thought back on my college experience and there are times that I wish I didn't go. I'm in so much debt and I haven't even entered the field I went to school for. It's frustrating at times. I know I need connections but sometimes it's difficult to be noticed in the sea of faces. I hope I get there eventually!
Book-Bosomed my husband is in the same boat as you and it is really hard. Keep working on it and I’m sure something will turn up eventually! Good luck!
@@cjanney3592 Thank you so much!
God does not give us more than our souls can handle.
Tasha, you are truly clothed in strength. Situations that you have been through would've done some people in, and rightfully so, but you continue to lean on God and work towards a beautiful life. Your parents are extremely proud of you and Alex.
You are such an inspiration to me and I wish that I had you as a best friend. We have so much in common! We're both fraternal twins, we both are the biggest fangirls, and we both are proud plus women! Oh well, maybe in another life 😁 Keep being the strong pillar of light that this world so desperately needs. We all love you!
I honestly just like you allot; what a kind soul. I'm not religious. I lost it a long time ago, but there are times I wish I was. I know having faith can make some people better humans and listening to you; you are a great reminder of that. What a good example of a person of faith. I hope your heart finds healing quickly because the world needs people like you weather they are religious or not. Just good kind souls and that want to see good in this world.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're such a strong, inspirational and beautiful person, inside and out. Darkness won't diminish your light hun, you'll burn brighter. Stay strong.
You are so strong, I’m so sorry about your mom, I know the situation was hard. I truly wish you all the best. May all your dreams come true and some that you never even expected ❤️
sorry for your loss Natasha, great video stay strong your loved dont forget that !
Super late to this video, but I think Natasha, your goals about wanting to see more plus-sized women in movies is admirable. I want to be in entertainment as well and create the stories I want to see with main characters who look more like me. I believe when you release a clothing line it will be amazing. Your fashion sense is on point all the time. I love your content so much; it is always inspiring. Thank you for being so real with us.
I wish so much happiness for you. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us. You’re so strong for being able to do that. I’m so excited to see what this next chapter of life holds for you. ❤️
This was a video I needed to see. I'm graduating and trying to get my life on track. I'm working on skills to become a better candidate and because I love doing it. I wish you nothing but the best Natasha ♥️♥️
We love you Tasha ❤ stay strong
This was so beautifully raw and inspiring. Thank you so much for putting this out here. You're so very loved, by God and so many others. Praying for you❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep on winning
You are going to make life how you want it to be . If you have failures that is a good thing because it means you didn't give up. We are living in a scary time right now and I am scared , I am 44 and scared. But I won't let fear stop me from my dreams and neither should you . Keep going forward , keep making life how you want it. As long as you are happy that is all that matters . Make your dreams come true , make a clothing line , you want to be like Reese Witherspoon do it. The only thing stopping you is fear and not trying at all. I may not know you in person but I believe in you. You got this .
What an incredible message. Keep it coming 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your are such an inspiration Natasha! Hearing you talk about your goals and dreams really motivates me to be just as passionate as you are! 💕💛
You’re
Love you Tasha! Sending much love and kindness your way! I hope you get everything you wish for!
You are such a strong person, and God has shined through you. Honestly, I loved this and It's no cool to have watched you grow. I love watching you talk about books and about fashion, and about Jesus, and it's so nice having someone to watch that shares some of the same interests as me and who is so sweet and strong and admirable. Stay safe!
This video brought me light in a dark time. Forever inspired by you and your strength through everything ❤️
You are such an inspiration! I so appreciate that you are willing to share yourself with us. I know that you will continue to succeed. You inspire me to embrace myself and strengthen my relationship with Christ, and for that I’m extremely grateful. I wish you the best and I can’t wait to see where you go from here!
My heart goes out to you and your brother 💞 You are such a strong woman and I really admire you ✨
Girl I am so freaking proud of you for following Jesus and being unashamed about it! I love you very dearly as a follower of yours and am praying for you and what you have been going through, especially recently. Losing someone that close to you is NEVER easy and I'm so so sorry for that. I pray that you continue to feel Jesus' presence in your life while your grieving, in your joyous moments, crazy moments, all of them. You are such a strong and amazing inspiration to myself and many others. May Jesus' light continue to shine so bright
You are beautiful and an inspiration to us all. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. You’re very strong *virtual hugs!*
I am truly sorry that you lost your parents. I cannot see my life without my parents in it. Yes, I'm crying with you. I have missed you so much on YT. Love you, Tash!! ♥
You‘re such a great person. I hope that you can reach all your goals in the future. I can relate so strong to your words about personal growth. Better times will come, stay strong! 🌺

Thank you so much for sharing your story, your life, and all of your aspirations with us. I think you an incredible person to be so honest with us all and I can see that you have a heart for God. You've definitely inspired me to never give up, even when life seems tumultuous and hurtful...there is hope. A verse I really enjoy is Song of Solomon 2:11-12. I pray that you find healing and comfort through all of this.
I never wanted to hug someone so much after watching a video like right now

Praying for you so hard through this Natasha!💜💜💜
Sending love. Everyone’s going through it right now ❤️ I find myself struggling with the same feelings. Thank you for opening up.
Aww Natasha! I'm so sorry, I heard about your mom's passing on social media, you will get through it, I have been through some tough times also and I got through it and you will too. I wish I could give you a hug, but I will give you a virtual hug *virtual hug* everything will be okay!
