Draw My Life - Kristina Horner

[@MsHammy91]

this is the first draw my life video that actually has a normal life in it. good childhood, the usual teenage break ups and heartdestroy-stories and someone having no HUGE tearjerking troubles, but someone who made mistakes and learned from them, but was always happy when it comes down to it. thanks for having such a normal life

[@kelann89]

I feel like some people get so attached to what they see in vlogs people put up that they forget the people filming them are still people with feelings and don't want to tell everyone about everything. You are awesome and the stuff you create is awesome. Your videos have helped me in the past and still are great too watch. Thank you Kristina and Have a wonderful day.

[@ddoglvr96]

thanks for being so honest with us kristina. i can't begin to imagine what it would be like to have your life defined by those you associate with, or just be constantly asked about personal issues. but i do know that watching your videos over the years has been an amazing experience. so thank you.

[@antoinetteg6526]

Please stop blaming yourself for bad relationships. What happened to you is not your fault! You didn't know it would happen.

[@antoinetteg6526]

Ania D what are you even talking about?

[@antoinetteg6526]

Ania D Yea and I'm talking about that too. Which side is which pertains to this in no way. all I did was advise her to stop blaming herself.

[@antoinetteg6526]

Ania D Again, I wasn't talking about any of that lol. I was just telling this girl not to blame herself.

[@BeatrixNemesis]

Kristina has done so much for me. I can barely put it into words. She is my idol and I hope to meet her one day so that I can tell her how much she has really helped me.

[@katelynlindbom]

You were one of the very first people I started watching on youtube back in 2008 (I also was a big fan of your blog) and you have been one of my biggest role models since then, and you still are today. I was just about to start high school and had cripplingly low self esteem and worth. Seeing you grow as a person has been a privilege. So thank you, not only for the videos and sharing yourself, but for teaching me that it is ok to be who I am. I hope you have continued success and happiness!!!

[@TheMissTokita]

This made me tear up a lot. Yours was one of the first channels i subscribed to a year ago and since then my life has changed a lot. You are a big part in that. Thank you for sharing this video with us

[@BestWishesBaz]

Thank you for being willing to share Kristina! Back in 2010 you were the reason that I started watching KZbin videos, now I probably do that to much, but my depression is nowhere near what it was at that time so I think it's worth it. Thanks again! Hugs!

[@21standSerendipity]

I've seen quite a few of these now and yours is by far the most enjoyable. Thank you for being, for lack of a less cliche phrase, "real" with us. It's refreshing and heart-warming :)

[@maggieswiss]

Thank you for trusting us enough to share your journey. That was really just what I needed on this gloomy morning, contemplating where my life is going :-). Thanks!

[@ellafantile]

Kristina, thank you for making this. I've been through some similar things (although not played out on the internet in front of thousands of people) and I'm only just realising recently that it's quite common for people to be horrible, but there are plenty of people out there who are not, and they're the ones worth finding and sticking with. You are the only KZbinr who catches my attention so much I want to watch every video, it doesn't feel like a chore. So thank you for being so sparkly :)

[@Lgirl614]

I'm so happy that you've made it through that difficult time! You videos are always a highlight in my day, and I think you're a wonderful and amazing role model for young women. I just started college this year and to be honest I've really been struggling with living away from home. Seeing the happiness that you've found for yourself and the adventures that you've had have really make me feel like it's going to be okay. So thank you for that. You inspire me more than I can possibly tell you!

[@coupdeforce]

This is a very inspirational message about the journey of life, and how going through bad times makes it possible for us to appreciate the good times. You've always been an interesting and unique person, and friendly to complete strangers in the Internet communities you've been involved in over the years. It's hard to imagine anyone else's "draw my life" being anywhere near as meaningful as yours, but perhaps the biggest lesson here is that everyone's life has meaning once you get to know them.

[@joannadreamer]

You were probably one of the very first youtubers I subscribed to and I have never regretted it. You were the one who introduced me to Wizard Rock and made me realise that there are other people out there who still like to read and that it's okay to be nerdy. You are one of my idols and it makes me so happy to know you're happy

[@GrahamNificent]

Wow, I wasn't expecting all of this! I'm just now realizing that despite being a fan of you for a few years, you've had a very long journey I wasn't largely aware of. Love you, Kristina. Inspirational video.

[@kermie_8]

You were one of the first KZbinrs that I actually started watching, and even though its only been a few years, its been great to see all of the amazing content you have put out in those years. You introduced me to W-rock and a lot of the other amazing stuff I know today and I wanted to thank you for that. You are an amazing person and I hope you never forget that! :D

[@anna_corey]

AWWWWW. I am aww-ing about everything. Not just Joe. EVERYTHING. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us, you're honestly the greatest and I'm so excited for series two of Job Hunters! You've always been my favorite KZbinr, ever since I found you back in 2011. I'm so excited to see what's going to come now!

[@bollywoodfangirl]

I've been watching you since 5AG and you pushed me to start making my own videos and I love you so much Kristina, I'm so insanely proud of you. Thanks for everything. And for making Joe make videos because he does an incredible job :)

[@LeaValencia]

This is by far one of my favorite draw my life videos I've seen. So honest and beautiful. You're such an amazing person, Kristina :D As a fan I really love and look up to you!

[@kristinaalannah]

i found you sometime in early 2010 when i started to watch people vlog rather than only coming to youtube to see my favourite band's latest music video. its really nice to see how real everyone is on this website thank you for sharing Kristina!

[@theglowingbones]

Kristina!! I appreciate that you shared so much with us in this video. I've been watching your videos since about half way through the first year of 5AG and am inspired by your growth as a person since then. I'm glad that your life has gotten to a good place despite your past struggles and I wish you the best in life as I continue to watch your videos. Thanks for deciding to make this video. :)

[@HPfreak913]

KRISTINA OMG! You are such a beautiful person and everything you've done with your life has inspired me so much. I aspire to handle things and make choices and enjoy life the way you do.

[@TheOddGirl12]

I may have subscribed only in 2011, but I watched all your old videos and seeing you grow so much is really inspiring! You're great.

[@seurat2]

Great job Kristina, I'm impressed with how everyone I've watched doing this has taking it so to heart and been so open. Glad to hear you have a relationship again, and I hope one if these days to hear music from you again. You have always been awesome Kristina and always will be.

[@SamPackerVids]

Thank god for Joe. He's an incredibly good guy.

[@paleghosty]

It was so immensely brave of you to make this video, I feel touched that you were willing to share this with us :) I also wish you and Joe all the happiness in the world, you're both really awesome people

[@MelissaKreil]

I'm so happy for you Kristina. I've been a huge fan of yours for years and know that you've gone through some tough times. I am more than honored that you felt comfortable enough to share this video with us and am very happy for you and Joe. I've always looked to you as a role model for not only youtube, but real life. Thank you for staying so strong and being so wonderful.

[@hurpldurp]

No, I didn't tear up at the end, I just got something in my eye. Both my eyes... Kristina, you're the best.

[@MadeMostlyMaddy]

This is one of my favorite draw my life videos that I have seen. I am really glad you make videos because I love watching them. :D

[@WrockingGirl]

Long distance and getting your heart broken sucks. I went through something similar recently. But seeing you turn your life around and being so happy now gives me some hope for the future. Thanks, Kristina :)

[@Driptweet]

After something like four or five years of being an italktosnakes viewer, this video made me incredibly proud. I've admired you for years, and this just felt really inspirational, and it's not because you've recovered from break ups - it's because you're learning and growing and changing as a person, and it's just really wonderful to watch you do that, particularly when I'm going through changes, too. I love ya, Kristina. Stay wonderful. :)

[@Channotek72]

I started watching your channel a couple of months before you started job hunters, and I really noticed a change in your personality. I could tell that you were happier, and more yourself. I'm really happy for what job hunters did for you, and I am so excited both to watch season two, and to know that it will continue to exist, as something that you enjoy, and that makes you happy :)

[@KamilahCarter]

I really have been enjoying Joe's videos too, and I'm glad I discovered him through Job Hunters. I am happy to hear things are going well for you, and that you have good people in your life.

[@madmarbles]

I love you, Kristina. You're a huge inspiration, and I know that you have things that need to be yours, but I'm glad you felt comfortable sharing this with us.

[@suhrealist]

You were actually one of the very first KZbinrs I ever subscribed to! Because of you I was introduced to this whole community of amazing people and you constantly inspire me to do things, especially write. You helped me realize that it was something that I want to do for the rest of my life. I truly do look up to you, Kristina, and thanks for sharing this with all of us :)

[@SwanyStar]

Thanks for making this video! I bet it was very hard to open up after all the things you have been through, but your viewers really appreciate you and anything you want to share. Thanks for just being you!

[@JordiekinsxxReal]

This is wonderful, Kristina! One of the best Draw My Life videos I've seen!

[@leilocked]

You are one of the people I look up to! Being a 16 year old teenager, I often times get confused about many things in life. But seeing how you live, your personality, your interests, and how happy you seem, brought me answers. Even though we've never met, you don't strike me as a stranger.

[@WeAreAllMadHere96]

Thank you for sharing with us, Kristina! This was so brave considering what you've felt in the past about sharing too much with the internet.And congrats on Season 2 of Job Hunters, hopefully it will continue to be wonderful for us and for you! :D

[@selftitled3418]

Amazing video, thanks for making it. I really enjoy the "draw my life" videos partially because it's inspired me to tell my favorite youtubers how much i enjoy their videos. So thanks you. i got into Wizard Rock through your channels,you are one of the few vloggers i still follow, and Team Hypercube is without a doubt one of my favorite things on the internet.

[@Prigu]

Wow I never knew this.. I have so much more respect and admiration for you now. Not only for getting through it but having the courage to share it online! I say this from the bottom of my heart: You're an inspiration and I hope nothing but the best for you :)

[@BotheringTrees]

The video froze right as you were talking about your vocal nodes and I thought it was an artistic use of silence. I admire you so much for making this video. I've been following you around the internet (and once in real life but that was a total accident of us walking in the same direction at a con) since 2008 and you're one of my favorite people on youtube and in the HP fandom and seeing you so happy with your life just warms my heart.

[@risatap]

I found you about 2 years ago when Luke had mentioned ALL CAPS at some point, and I'm so glad I stuck around here on your channel even when you guys split up! Now I never would want to miss one of your videos

[@imogenna_]

I was trying to think of what to say here and realised that I am so so very glad that you are happy again Kristina. With work, KZbin, newly made public relationships, your life. Your happiness makes me happy :)

[@lilypadsturtle]

Even though I've seen many Draw My Life videos, I feel like this one had made me want to cry the most. Maybe it's because you, your two ex boyfriends and your current one are all some of my favorite KZbinrs. Or maybe its because I didn't realize how much you went through in the recent years while most others' hardships were when they were younger.

[@hufflepuffwithbowtie]

You are and will always be one of my favorite KZbinrs. I love all of the videos that you make, even if they are filmed on your phone. I am happy that you shared this video with us because it's nice to know that even successful KZbinrs feel scared to share things with the world. (Also, I was freaking out about you and Joe. I love both of you guys so much. Thanks for making him start a channel. Both of your channels have impacted my life so much

[@Unoticedgirl]

I'm so proud of you Kristina, you were my second KZbinr that I subbed to. You're such an inspiration and I'm glad you made this video :)

[@samiiwamii305]

5ag was the first time I ever got into watching people vlog and you made Monday's way better! Thanks for sharing your life with us

[@margretsnae]

I've been subscribed to you since fiveawesomegirls and your videos have always made my days brighter and brought a smile to my face. Although I don't know you personally, I feel like I do, and a nicer person is hard to find. It has been such fun to see all the projects you have worked on, all the songs, episodes and vlogs. I'm very glad that things have worked out for you.

[@lauralfly]

Kristina, I came to your channel out of sheer curiosity through the more recent brake up that you mentioned's page. I was intimidated at first because you are so intelligent and so talented ( I watched some of your music videos). But you have kept me here and it has been super fun getting to know more about you through these videos. Thank you for posting this as I think it is inspiring.

[@6impossiblethings]

This was great. I have really loved all the Draw My Life videos I've seen. Thank you for sharing :)

[@RachelFinston]

I'm glad you've recovered from the hardships in your life, and bounced back. I love Job Hunters, and I hope you get to keep making awesome stuff with awesome people.

[@gbasek]

Thanks for sharing Kristina. You're brave considering what you've been through in the past, and I'm happy that you're happy now.

[@GlitzyPumpkin]

Kristina, you're amazing. You have no idea how much your videos and music have helped me survive a really hard time in my life. Thank you so much for being who you are. :)

[@Kristina]

I didn't know that! I am so happy to have helped you find this incredible community and I appreciate your involvement in everything so much. You're a great person.

[@p1nkputhy]

Kristina is one of my inspirations. I want to grow up and write a live a fun, Nerdfighter life. I started watching her videos at a young age when I also started to get into the fandom and fanfiction things, and now, I am still in them and my fandom life is much more expanded with so many friends and much more maturity, and I've finished a couple of novels and have a Chatzy for NaNo. I just wanna thank you Kristina for being my role model. You're amazing even with your imperfections. :)

[@Mrsjow]

Your channel and 5AG were the first channels I've followed and I'm really proud to see that you're happy now =D You're Amazing!!! Lots of love from France!!!

[@mythoughtsareblah]

Kristina, you were the first KZbinr I really fell in love with, you inspired me with your outlook, and the way you lived your life and I've been following you for I think threeish years now. So seeing this really touches me, and I'm so grateful that you shared these personal moments of your journey with us. You are actually what made me read Harry Potter which did completely change my life. Thank you, and thanks for all the time :)

[@notamuggle11]

That was such a great video, Kristina. It's really inspiring to hear how you not only bounced back from sucky things, but also reinvented and revived yourself and what you do. I admire you for sharing this, I can imagine that it's difficult. Some of us Internet strangers can be rude or prying, but most of us are just happy such cool people share parts of their lives and their creativity with us. Thanks for being so great. :)

[@itiselizabeth]

This was totally brilliant Kristina, I've adored all of the draw my life videos I've seen but your honesty is inspiring. Keep it up!

[@KellyMcInerneyy]

This is definitely one of the better "Draw My Life" videos Ive seen. Go girl!

[@randomdoodles26]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, and even though I don't technically KNOW you, you're still an inspiration to me, and I really look up to you. So, thank you for sharing with us, and being so fantastically human. I'm really glad that you're so happy now, and I hope you stay that way for as long as possible.

[@BrianaIturrino]

I very much enjoyed this video. I only started watching you a couple years ago, but you've kind of introduced me to the possibilities of youtube. I used to only come to youtube if I was searching for a video someone had told me about or to watch a music video. Your videos were the first that made me feel like I wanted to see more. Now I have more subscriptions than I can handle. I'd love to start my own channel eventually, but for now, I'll just continue to be inspired. Thank you Kristina :)

[@annl3596]

I was really excited when I saw this in my sub box! You're one of my favorite youtubers, and I look up to you more than anyone I know. It was so brave and wonderful of you to let us into your life like this! DFTBA

[@TheBookfrog]

Kristina, I'm really happy for you. I love jobhunters and basicaly everything you have done, at least the things I know of ;) glad you seem to have found your healty amount of sharing :D

[@Lady_Charlotta]

I found you through your music but I was cathed by the kind of videos you make now. I like you for your great personality and your energi and happiness that really inspire me a lot! :)

[@loonylike]

It seems crazy that I've been watching your videos since 2008. Thanks for sharing this perspective on your journey:) Great video

[@kashleyb2]

I can't tell you how proud and happy this video made me. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing :)

[@pirategray]

This was done so well. I fear my public appearance is solely determined by my current relationship as most know him than they know me and watching this has me now pushing myself more to stray from being so ridiculously open to the Internet on my relationship and life. Thank you for this - it's helped me a lot. And it is amazing to see you doing so well and strong! :)

[@Mordavus]

One of the things you learn is that the more you put out on the internet, the more other people invest their emotions in you, so when you go through personal things that you don't share, such as break-ups, there'll be so many people who just want to know what happened that it becomes quite overwhelming. I'm sorry you endured all that. Sounds like you found a great way to re-invent yourself and I wish you tons more happiness along the way.

[@pinmacher]

You were the first KZbinr I subscribed to. The first video I watched was Pottermore Sorting and that video changed my life. I first clicked on it because I wanted a surefire way to be put into Slytherin. It was so awesome! You and your friends being sorted into your houses alphabetically with a sorting hat on September 1st? How AWESOME is that! The video opened up the online geeky community to me and it developed my own nerdiness. For that video and countless others thank you so much Kristina

[@xXxStarChicPotter]

Kristina without you I never would've found the Nerdfighters or Wizard Rock. You're videos helped me push myself to reread Harry Potter and make some of my best friends I have ever had (Over the Internet of course). You have also taught me about oversharing and keeping things personal. Without you I don't know where I would be and I don't know how to thank you.

[@homefreylf]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your life/ creative projects with us.

[@noorgansjustawesome]

This was beautiful, Kristina. You're really brave for doing this, and it was really amazing. (:

[@DarklightAmy]

You were actually the very first vlog person I started to follow on youtube (yeah I was kinda late too it) and still are among a very selective few, yet you always bring a smile to my face with your videos. Thank you very much for that :) I'm happy you give us funny videos, but it's not something I take for granted. So, really, thank you! This vid was very touching too.. :)

[@mewpie85]

Kristina, you and the four 5ag got me into nerdfighteria , Wrock, and even twilight.. you and the vlogbrothers have given me the gift of vlogging! so thank you! I have gained so much confidence because of you tubers ! and become nerdier!

[@NikkisorousRex]

You and Joe are two of my most favorite people on youtube. Thank you for sharing this Kristina.

[@TheHtmarshall87]

Kristina, I discovered you two years ago when I first discovered vlogging on KZbin. I had just finished college and moved to Boston. I didn't know anyone. Watching your videos have been such a comfort and I want to thank you for that! :) Thank you and this video was awesome!

[@Pexzee]

I've watched a lot of your videos during the year and a half that I've known your existence and I've seen you share your life before. This was still a great recap and I hope to hear the untold stories of your life as a Jobhunter some day. (so very happy that the story gets to continue)

[@bgkoukla]

this was great, i've been watching your content for a long time and i'm really glad that things have turned around for you. love you!!

[@kizzyneetyan]

I originally only followed musicians on KZbin, which is how I found out about you, but it was my introduction to your vlogs that introduced me to the vlogger community as a whole and how there was this whole other side to KZbin that wasn't just making music videos. It's been a great ride ever since, so thanks!

[@katie.larson96]

I've been watching your videos for years, Kristina, and you are somebody I really look up to. Most of us could tell that there was a lot of shit going on in your life around the time you found out about your nodes, and watching you go from where you were then to where you are now is amazing. I think not only your videos have improved, but so have you as a person (not that you weren't great before!). As a long time viewer, it's great to see you truly happy again. =)

[@thegeographer203]

This was so beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Kristina!

[@Kleineganz]

Yes. When she talks about her relationships - first with Nerimon (who lives in England), and after that ended she dated Luke (she doesn't mention him by name, but anyone who has been following Kristina for awhile would know she meant Luke).

[@HRPrime95]

Awh I just want to give you a hug! This was so lovely to see & although I can only speak for myself I'm sure every single one of your viewers are so prod

[@lumenmist]

Aww you're an amazing person Kristina ;) You remain my favourite KZbinr, and this video makes me respect you even more as a person. Thank you do much for sharing this with us!

[@proudestmonkee07]

You were the first youtuber that I ever subscribed to and remain one of my absolute favorites. It was you who led me to the vlogbrothers and beyond (oh, yelling girl...). Despite the fact that we're not really alike, I've always loved how open you've been-but it wasn't about romances or your youtube friends. It's about how genuine you are in front of the camera and how open you are to new people. Your enthusiasm for life inspires me to be brave; thank you. You're more beautiful than ever.

[@laurawardrobe]

Watching this again because it's such a beautiful video. As a long time subscriber it made me so happy to see you happy again :)

[@KatieContinues]

This is a really lovely video, Kristina. Very brave of you to be open about these things after everything that happened. You've been such an inspiration to me in the three years I've been watching you, seeing all of the different projects and things that you're involved in motivates me to put my time and energy into things I care about too. So thank you, for everything, and I wish you all the best for the future.

[@Dvp444]

You're one of my favorite youtubers. I love your videos. And I love that you could share this with your fans.

[@kyzarixVT]

Thank you for making this, Kristina! :) You are truly amazing and you've inspired me so much, from listening to cooler music, reading more books, trying to write my own book (nanowrimo) to trying to make new friends and being part of the online community. (I've always been slightly more solitary, it was good for me.) I love your perspective on life and I wish I could thank you properly for just inspiring me.

[@dodecasomnia]

I'm so happy for you! Congrats on everything going so well :))) [also, Job Hunters is great and I can't wait for more!]

[@ramywiles]

I got unreasonably excited when you drew the Kacheek. I always always ALWAYS had a Kacheek on each of my... three? accounts on Neopets. :3

[@JessicaSheptin]

I really enjoyed this video. You're one of my favorite youtubers (and also I discovered you first when coming onto this awesome website). I'm really happy your life is turning out well and I will continue to watch your material. xoxo

[@nerdgirlsforthewin]

This was so great... and thanks for sharing. :) I'm so excited for the next season of Job Hunters... I'm glad you have found something that makes you really excited and happy! :)

[@ThatCrazyBookWyrm]

that I was one of the people that has not only been with you on this journey for two whole years, but who also made Job Hunters Season 2 happen ;) You are a big part of my life, and I guess I just wanted to say that I am proud of you (even though I'm younger than you) and thank you ;)

[@HorseriderHP14]

Kristina, You are honestly my favorite youtuber and I have been watching your channel for as long as I have been watching KZbin and I just want to say thank you for all of the videos you have made us and all of the quirky songs you have given us. (: You are awesome! and I cannot wait to see Job Hunters season two!

[@TheDraconifors]

I feel like I know your motivations for doing all the stuff you do now and I really liked seeing and hearing about your past and how you've become better because of it.

[@alternativegirl25]

Hey Kristina, I just want you to know I really admire you, I've been following you since you started here on KZbin and I'm glad you're still around. Im also really happy that you're in a good place, personally and professionally, you deserve it! You're one of my favourite youtubers and one of the few that I would love to be friends with IRL. Keeping awesome and I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next! Also I'm really excited for the second season of Job Hunters!

[@Fullhouse1995]

I started watching you during that period you were talking about re-inenting, and I never even knew this story! Thanks for being awesome :)
