Love this series because you're both super supportive and encouraging to your friends, but still get deep and have really personal conversations. Also, I'm feeling inspired to ask my friends how they perceive me. Great video!
so pure and good i honestly can’t put into words how much i admire and look up to you, simply because of how good at talking you are and how natural you make it feel, as well as the wisdom that seems to be inside of you even though you’re not even halfway through your life journey. i’ve missed your videos :)
If we're talking only about the darker skin and the hair I actually find it beautiful in some people, but the others traits such as craniuam development and bone structure in general is just awful.
You guys are so gorgeous and smart and wise, I love it. Zannah's monthly vlogs are BEAUTIFUL and sjhshgsjg Tessa asks the right questions I love it edit: nvm tessa just gave me an existential crisis second edit: im crying
I want to do that with anyone... I feel like the lowered eye contact that happens because you are side by side helps the stories and thoughts flow out better (:
The videos you make always leave me feeling happier and more uplifted than I was before I watched them. I think I'm a really genuine person and I love seeing other genuine people having real and vulnerable conversations. It helps me feel not so alone, like there are other people like me.
I get so excited every time you post a new pillow-talk. One of my favorite series on the whole internet tbh. They feel intimate and compassionate and like having a fun/deep/honest chat with your closest friends. I always feel cheered up after watching them. Thank you so much for what you put into the world creatively, Tessa!
About asking your friends how they perceive you, I had to do it for a psych project and my friend told me that I was a bit controlling and always want to take charge of a group project/do it myself. I never really thought of myself that way but now I realize that I really am controlling when it comes to projects I’m really passionate about, and I’m trying to be more lenient when working with other people’s opinions now. I’m glad that I asked her because otherwise I wouldn’t know that about myself.
i feel like you two are kindred spirits. i'm not sure why when you're both different in most obvious aspects but there's something about how you wield words, as if you were very aware of how powerful they are. i hate how fake deep i sound but you two have this impressive emotional intelligence and i think it's hard to phrase a good compliment because this is not a type of intelligence that is usually praised since it's associated with femininity. i really like watching you chat, it's special.
Zannah has quickly become one of my favorite creators and this was so nice to see!! Literally not 5 hours ago I finally watched Zannah’s May vlog because I have to be in the perfect situation to watch them because they are so special. I see so much of myself in her both as a person and a creator and watching her videos (particularly the monthly scrapbooks) inspires me so so much!
i mean, sure, tessa is a two on the enneagram and looks like she's most people's older sister. but i'm also a two so i'm not inclined to romanticize this since i know the struggles that this creates. still, this video felt like watching sisters chatting. this empathy, comprehension and passion these two share is so beautiful. is it obvious i'm emotional about this video? god
tessa, i just want to thank you for this video. i know it's really unlikely that you're seeing this comment, but i just want to say that this video inspired me to write essays about all my friends. basically, i just wrote the longest and most truthful string of compliments that i could, putting them all together and reading them to who i love most. seeing their reactions and responses made my day, and so i just want to thank *you* for bringing so much more positivity into this so often hateful world.
Man Tessa, you are a great therapist. Both encouraging and incredibly supportive, and inspiring. I aspire to be that comforting and helpful to my friends.
I just really feel like Tessa is such an insightful person. I know no one is as perfect as they put off however, I feel like Tessa is just so thoughtful and smart and calm and collected and just knows what’s right. Idk just so heart eyes
i missed your videos like this. they make me be able to look at things differently and just make me happy. you are so smart and have an amazing way with words. i feel like whenever i dont see your videos for awhile my brain just kind of dumbs down? love u tessa 💓
I LOVE your videos together! You're both such thoughtful people who are so aware of yourselves & the world around you. I love how you both have such strong opinions on things but also are so openminded; your conversations are always so wonderful I love u both
I have a lot of trouble with self-esteem, and this week has been filled with awful panic attacks. Your video just inspired me to text my friends asking for their perception of me... the reassurance of love was so good to hear, and I feel a lot better now. Thanks so much Tessa
ahh everything you guys said about pessimism and negativity really resonated with me and I'm also trying to work on it! I also always expect things to go badly, so that I'll never be disappointed. But you are so right that some disappointment is inevitable, and it's okay to let yourself be happy sometimes!
Great JOB ladies... what you guy talked about reminded me of a book I read... and all I can remember from that book is on the very last page centered: "We each are like angels with only one wing and we can only fly embracing each other" From that entire book I have memorized this quote... Thanks again for sharing I enjoyed listening! I was always told: "its none of my business what other's think about me!" Except those who love me!
My view on life: "Expect the worst, hope for the best." Every time I feel like the human race should just go ahead and vanish, someone usually comes along and changes my mind for a moment. Rare, but enough.
Thanks tessa for doing the pillow talks♡ I wish you upload more often, your videos are honestly the best ones on TH-cam for me, so unique♡ much love from Argentina👐
you are both so incredibly articulate with what you want to say, and i'm so jealous of how you can both ask such deep and (somewhat) hard hitting questions as well as give a well formulated response that gets everything you want to say across. i love watching content like this, where two people can share their opinions of each other and how they perceive life whilst keeping it real™️. thank you for this video!!
Creating and being seen is really standing out. I really agree with you, Tessa, that there is no such thing as an average person. A good friend is someone that sees all of you and still enjoys the view.
Tessa, thank you so much for posting this video. I find your content incredibly helpful, meaningful, and thought provoking. I was having a really though day and this video helped me. You have such a fluent way of speaking about yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings for your friends that it helps me able to more clearly and rationally understand my own thoughts while making me hopeful for my future. Not trying to put pressure on you to always put out videos, just wanting you to know they are always appreciated!
this is such a great depiction of a healthy friendship and i am so. in. love. with. it! your guys' ability to openly discuss your relationship while also talking about points of improvement in such a loving way is incredibly admirable, and i wish i had seen this video a long time ago so I could see an example of a truly good friend.
One of my favorite series on TH-cam, so consistently wonderful and thought provoking. I feel like you must be the most A+ number 1 sleepover-with-late-night-chats companion to have around
i lov the growth of your friendship (that i can see) because in the early vids w each other i felt yall had so much potential and this is it !!!!!! im so happy
It's so fascinating to see two people have a conversation when they cannot look directly at each other. You get to really see people's listening faces. Lovely video, by the way.
OKAY IM SORRY BUT ZANNAH TALKING ABOUT HER PARENTS SAYING THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE GREAT AND THEN DISCUSSING HOW THAT FELT GROWING UP WITH THAT PRESSURE IS WHAT STARTED ME OFF CRYING AND NOW I AM SOBBING AND IT IS ONE AM THANK YOU FOR THIS
when you talked about zannah's video scrapbooks and i saw her face, i teared up a little. zannah is such a gem. 💛 update: i cried throughout this video. this whole video made me realize that i am so much like zannah and tessa. pps: i can't wait to see tessa perform in september!
I relate a lot to Zannah... I have a really hard time with treating myself like I treat others, with love and compassion. I never had a Tessa to tell me that before, but in the past year I might have found myself one, in a teacher at my school. Love the video, love you two a lot
Zannah.. artists are emotionally intelligent, they feel and listen for everything that they do. Yes, there are certain skills that may need to be refined to express it but the “natural talent” is there, and comes from within
So, it is nigh impossible to make me feel uncomfortable when it comes to emotional intimacy and self-sharing... but you guys got me with this one, IN THE BEST WAY 🙌 It made me think about how much I hold back from my friends, despite being an over-sharer and inquisitive to an invasive(?) degree. I was on the edge of my seat as you talked, because this conversation felt like it was dancing on that knifes edge of approaching the core truths of each other without scratching or harming that core. And you pulled it off SO PERFECTLY 😱 Thank you for sharing! This has made me want to better my own relationships, instead of just passively enjoying the beauty of someone else's.
This video is absolutely fantastic, such good points being made on an incredibly important topic. On a slightly different note I when I first opened the video I wasn’t wearing my glasses and thought Tessa was lying on a pile of spaghetti
I love this because I love having moments like this with *my* friends and showing this beautiful part of friendship is so great and it makes my heart so happy!!
tessa i love these videos. you address such wonderful topics. please continue doing pillow talk. these are beautiful, touching, poignant, funny, and lovingly emotional videos.
The bit about being a pessimist really got to me for some reason. I also was in denial and kept calling myself a realist...because for me it's easier to prepare for the worst, and be happily surprised when things go well, than to constantly fantasize about the positive things, and be absolutely crushed when things don't turn out that great. But I have no effing clue how to change my pessimistic outlook on life. I feel like there is no middle ground between "Everything sucks and life is bleak as hell" and "Rainbows and kittens and EVERYTHING is wonderful and magical, and I'm annoyingly happy ALL the time".
oh dear you both inspire me so much. its so interesting to get in touch with ur own feelings and thoughts. i look up to you and thank you for making such lovely content and making me understand myself better
Please do more of these. They are so thoughtful. You both are such thoughtful people that I feel very similar to, so I love seeing these videos from both of you. I'm very into constantly trying to improve myself so I love hearing the same kinda thing from others. Fucking amazing. Love you both. ♥️
"I have a single coming out June 15th" *looks at calendar like camera on the office*
LOL
Love this series because you're both super supportive and encouraging to your friends, but still get deep and have really personal conversations. Also, I'm feeling inspired to ask my friends how they perceive me. Great video!

“It’s hard to convince me to watch anything longer than five minutes.”
* makes a 15 minute video *
Tessa Violet everyone
Bahaha!
If the video doesn't end in 5 minutes we're allowed to leave
“ i have a single coming out *june 15th* ”
LOL
Tessa violet ☕ good morning ☕ you ♥️☕🥀🌹☕💐☕🥀🌹♥️☕
Zannah is absolutely gorgeous wow
White people
Just Someone thats kinda racist my friend
Yeah, but what could we do? That's just nature.
Black people can be really beautiful too, but i agree thats less common than white people
If we're talking only about the darker skin and the hair I actually find it beautiful in some people, but the others traits such as craniuam development and bone structure in general is just awful.
You guys are so gorgeous and smart and wise, I love it. Zannah's monthly vlogs are BEAUTIFUL and sjhshgsjg Tessa asks the right questions I love it
edit: nvm tessa just gave me an existential crisis
second edit: im crying
“Existential crisis?” 2 mins later “ahh. Existential crisis.”
im young and tessa seems like a philosophical mom and i want her to give me advice on life sm
i want tessa to lay on a pillow with me and ask me tough questions
I've seen your comments everywhere for years now.
Sir Phantasmic I second this
I want to do that with anyone... I feel like the lowered eye contact that happens because you are side by side helps the stories and thoughts flow out better (:
A mood
same, me tooooo
The videos you make always leave me feeling happier and more uplifted than I was before I watched them. I think I'm a really genuine person and I love seeing other genuine people having real and vulnerable conversations. It helps me feel not so alone, like there are other people like me.
Thank youuuu for uploading this! I really needed this. Pillowtalk is such a deep, beautiful series!
You two are my favorites!
I too hate watching videos over 5 minutes. Ooh, Tessa uploaded a 14 minute video. I shall watch it all because I love Tessa’s videos.
This is one of the most encouraging, authentic and vulnerable videos I've seen for a long time. I loooove your pillowtalks!
+
Tessa always has such an incredible talent for finding talented people. Zannah is up there with the best of them.
Zannah + Tessa = my Happiness increasing

I cried so much watching this!! You're both such wonderful, well spoken people!
I get so excited every time you post a new pillow-talk. One of my favorite series on the whole internet tbh. They feel intimate and compassionate and like having a fun/deep/honest chat with your closest friends. I always feel cheered up after watching them. Thank you so much for what you put into the world creatively, Tessa!
Yay, Pillow Talk! Love this series. It seems to dig deep, but does so gentle. That research ambush was awesome.
A Scandinavian tween starring in a horror movie!!!
I'd definitely go see it!!

Let the right one in!
My two QUEENS

That was such an aesthetic spon - Tessa’s voice, the moving shapes, the music, UGH!
tessa, i just want to thank you for this video. i know it's really unlikely that you're seeing this comment, but i just want to say that this video inspired me to write essays about all my friends. basically, i just wrote the longest and most truthful string of compliments that i could, putting them all together and reading them to who i love most. seeing their reactions and responses made my day, and so i just want to thank *you* for bringing so much more positivity into this so often hateful world.
aww that's so sweet
Man Tessa, you are a great therapist. Both encouraging and incredibly supportive, and inspiring. I aspire to be that comforting and helpful to my friends.
I just really feel like Tessa is such an insightful person. I know no one is as perfect as they put off however, I feel like Tessa is just so thoughtful and smart and calm and collected and just knows what’s right. Idk just so heart eyes

Tessa: [opens my soul and begins reading the words written on my heart]
Tessa: "6:35-7:05"
I’m not even halfway through the video but there’s not a single flaw in this whole thing 😂❤️
ahh everything you guys said about pessimism and negativity really resonated with me and I'm also trying to work on it! I also always expect things to go badly, so that I'll never be disappointed. But you are so right that some disappointment is inevitable, and it's okay to let yourself be happy sometimes!
This conversation was so sweet and supportive.. It legitimately warmed my heart..
same
Watching Tessa’s eyebrows wibble-wobble throughout this video makes me appreciate it even more if possible 🙃🙃🙃
This is my favorite episode. I find myself coming back and re-watching it periodically.
A minute and a half of making fun of zannah, I love it.
Hahaha, as if she isn't to hard on herself already. 😉
i love u both !!
pao !! ||-//

literally my two favorite youtubers in one video, I'm so happy

your friendship is incredible, i love you both! you're so inspiring, thank you
When Tessa lays down her hair makes a gold halo
the most purest thing and friendship and oh whats that?
my heart on the floor.

I looove these videos, they're so beautiful and raw
One of my favorite series on TH-cam, so consistently wonderful and thought provoking. I feel like you must be the most A+ number 1 sleepover-with-late-night-chats companion to have around

this was really beautiful
This is so pure and precious. I love friendship.
Ahh I've been excited for this for so long! And Tessa is so wise, this is wonderful
And I cannot believe I met you, Zannah, this video just cements even more how deeply I relate to you
I wish more TH-camrs were having simple, honest conversations like this! Thank you for making it.
I hope you two sing something together soon, I miss you both singing acoustically :)
This content is so wholesome. Love these talks. Zannah, you're GR8.
OKAY IM SORRY BUT ZANNAH TALKING ABOUT HER PARENTS SAYING THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE GREAT AND THEN DISCUSSING HOW THAT FELT GROWING UP WITH THAT PRESSURE IS WHAT STARTED ME OFF CRYING AND NOW I AM SOBBING AND IT IS ONE AM THANK YOU FOR THIS

I love everything you do, but pillow talk is such a wonderfully delightful series and I absolutely adore it.
I love this series. And I have the exact same perception of Zannah! You're both such wise and self aware people.
So sweet. I appreciate your introspectiveness.
You have beautiful souls.
Tessa, I love how articulate you are.
Zannah, I love your aura.
Keep supporting each other!
I relate a lot to Zannah... I have a really hard time with treating myself like I treat others, with love and compassion. I never had a Tessa to tell me that before, but in the past year I might have found myself one, in a teacher at my school. Love the video, love you two a lot

I haven't started watching but I already know this is iconic
so beautiful. i love zannah, she's one of my very favorite people to watch.
THIS WAS SO NICE and i love you both and how introspective you are ! so goooood
I 100% agree with you on the unique/not unique thing. That's exactly how I view it as well!
Zannah and Tessa together is adorableness overload.
This was so pure and beautiful! I loved it.
i thought your cavs shirt said "gays" bc its cut off at the top
Lmao now that you pointed that out I can't stop looking at it.
11:51
you both are so beautiful on the inside and out. thank you for this video Tessa, i really love it
Tessa, your talks fill my soul.
Your pillow talks and get ready with me’s because I love hearing your perspective on so many different things
This is the sweetest little thing in the world.
this intro was the best omg 😂
oh dear you both inspire me so much. its so interesting to get in touch with ur own feelings and thoughts. i look up to you and thank you for making such lovely content and making me understand myself better
You both getting philosophical on uniqueness... well, you had me at philosophical. I love talking about all this with others, myself.
I follow Zannah since the first time you brought her here and I JUST LOVE HER. Also love to see you two together
Please do more of these. They are so thoughtful. You both are such thoughtful people that I feel very similar to, so I love seeing these videos from both of you. I'm very into constantly trying to improve myself so I love hearing the same kinda thing from others. Fucking amazing. Love you both. ♥️
Love this, so pure
I want Tessa to lie on a pillow with me and talk about the universe. Absolutely loved this video, Zannah is brilliant and her videos are fantastic
I absolutely love these videos! Friendship right there.
Same. If there is just the slightest chance of something going wtong I automatically exspect that situation and put myself into panic.
i love this because it can be really deep
or really funny and i just love that combination and you ♥️
