    I have been following your journey literally from the start of the pandemic. I remember you mentioning in one of your early videos about how distressed you were that all you internships cancelled and that you were so lost if things would workout. As someone who has witnessed your journey since the start-- and loved every bit of it-- it's so nice to see how much you've grown as an individual and a content creator and how beautifully your life has unfolded since then. Love you so much Kaiti

      omg same, I started following you at the beginning of the pandemic. This video shocked me so much, as so much time has passed and so many things have happened in the time since I started following you.
      Also, I have to add that your videos still have the same feel as they did in the beginning although they have simultaneously evolved so much

    fr though i loved this video. i've just graduated college as well (yay class of 2022!!) and i resonated with every single one of your lessons - it feels really nice that we reached similar takeaways through similar trajectories of both good & bad experiences. congrats on graduating kween!! ❤️

    I finished my second masters degree yesterday (so 7 years of college). So three more lessons:
    5. when one door closes another opens, but you have to look for it and trust the process.
    6. Everything happens for a reason, mostly to let you grow as a person.
    7. Have faith in yourself!

    Everything that you have said and felt throughout this video, resonated with me so much. I am trying to be a youtuber because I have been OBSESSED with it for as long as I can remember. And people talk negatively about it because they don’t understand or think it’s a waste of time. But I have started and I cannot wait for what is to come. I have had severe depression for awhile and when I uploaded my last video I felt happy truly happy. So thank you for being motivational, if I couldn’t follow my dreams then there would be no purpose in my life. So without a doubt I will not leave anything behind and I will enjoy the journey and be grateful that I can have one. I have been watching u grow and it’s so inspirational love ya kaiti🫶🏽

But little pieces of encouragement like this give me hope that the things I'm so worried about today will make more sense down the road.

    been watching your outfit lookbooks and advice for a while now, love them, some outfits I've never even looked at before I'm suddenly trying to replicate. Please for your next video could you do a months of the year lookbook? Know you'll smash it!
