LET'S CHAT.

[@AshaTregear]

You are so well spoken and mature beyond your years Katy, thanks so much for your advice, it never ceases to make me feel better x

[@gmailuser5694]

I know! i feel like she could be an inspirational speaker or something because overtime she talks i am inspired no matter what sets talking about!

[@ashleighnycole]

" you can't keep setting yourself on fire to keep people warm.". holy shit. that was too good Katy.

[@TaybearXD]

You're right about needing people around you. I find it very hard though because I'm such an introvert. Being around people is exhausting to me but I feel so alone if I'm not. :/ Ugh it's hard.

[@Handanxxo]

I know the feeling too well trust me, perfect description

[@carinadiaz3313]

Exactly :/

[@drawingdreams9063]

I feel you I'm exactly the same

[@invisiblekatie]

I feel ya girl! I'm the same as you xx

[@stardazzle1996]

Same

[@maryamlary]

This really helped, i got my final test results today and i was expecting so much better than what i actually got, and i came to realisation that its not a bad mark but i was actually just trying to fulfil others expectations. I know i worked extremely hard to get the grade i got today and trying to live up to people's absurd expectations is just so tiring, exhausting and it'll make you feel little about yourself and the effort you put in things. Katy you are such an amazing person and this video is very inspirational and i can't thank you enough for making this, i love you Katy.

[@abs3084]

Katy, every time I watch your videos, I realise what a inspiration you are! You're thoughts and feelings are so mature and truly inspiring! Thank you Katy 💕

[@person14545]

I was having such a down morning this morning and then I saw this video.. I got out of bed, took a long hot shower, put some makeup on and started my day. I know it's silly but this one video in my subscription box had the power to motivate me so much so Katy, thank you :)

[@bieberbaberr]

One really bad habit that I have is letting other people take advantage of me. Sometimes I don't even realize it, but recently I've taken a step back and looked at how many 'empty favors' I'm doing for people that aren't truly there for me when I need them. One of my goals for myself is to learn to say no to people when necessary. I think that kind of broke me down a little bit because once you're so consumed with doing things for other people, you have nothing left for yourself. Thank you for this video Katy, you're very wise. ❤️

[@ilianayanitza07]

I also thought your answer for how you dealt with Allegra leaving is super applicable to how to deal with a breakup!! "it gets better with time" "there is a lesson to be gained from every single person you meet" "it's okay to be sad, it's okay to not be okay" and it's all very true!

[@XoXaoifeXoXo]

I am so thankful that I found your channel 3 years ago Katy. In a subscription box filled with pointless vlogs and challenges, your advice is so sound and intelligent. I love your talking videos most of all because of the way you express you self and especially, the views and thoughts you share with all of us. You truly are a breath of fresh air to listen to :)

[@adaionescu6433]

I feel like you deserve so much more subscribers you are so inspirational! Good job Katy we love you!:)

[@whatsupclouds]

*You can't keep setting yourself on fire just to keep other people warm*. Bless you Katy.

[@gracie7898]

" I only have one shot at this life, so I might as well live it the way I want to." WOW you've helped me change my mind set on how I feel about my self and what Im doing with my life. Its true I only get one chance to make what I want out of my life so It's time I take action and not depend on others or waist time bringing my self down with negative thoughts. Thank you Katy

[@MademoiselleRuta]

I definitely agree with the thing about dumbing yourself down for others. I constantly used to feel like I need to push myself down so others can shine, but not anymore. I think it's important to be selfish and make yourself happy first because that's the most important thing. Others come after.

[@Carly-wp4hb]

"We have this flaw in humanity called comparison."

[@emilycolavito3171]

You never fail to cheer me up and broaden my perspective. Thank you for being selfless enough to put yourself out there, because you help and inspire so many people

[@daniellecarolan]

So so true about the athletics.. I have had trouble with that as well, but in the end you do what makes you happy :)

[@camizzle5656]

"You can't keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm." - I love this.

[@thiskidneedsmedicine]

I love you Katy

[@natural4everr]

you're awesome! I love your videos with your grandma, don't ever stop doing them cause they're hilarious! :)

[@isamoonable]

having the worst day ever and then seeing this video is just the most motivating thing ever! thank you Katy!

[@ratgrl222]

Only watched 5 mins and I'm already inspired and you've already helped me. Ilysm Katy! I truly admire you

[@saveandrock]

This is such a real advice. You are such a role model and this video could not have come at a better time. Yesterday, I woke up feeling so. damn. alone. I felt like I have no friends, like I was doing something wrong, like everybody ignored me. When you said that I have to love myself regardless of others' approval really hit me hard. I'm gonna get out that door and be the happiest and most content person now. I want to show everyone how much I love me

[@melkyboi]

adding to Katy's thoughts on loving yourself, just remember that "you can admire someone else's beauty without questioning your own"

[@AlanahCole]

Love your chats, they are always so real.

[@sarahmicheles]

You are the most inspirational person ever! Whatever you say in your talks never fails to motivate me! ❤️

[@TheKatieSON]

please pull an oprah more often! this video was amazing and everything you said i could relate to 100%! and you uploading twice this week literally made me so happy so thank you!

[@lululush2148]

This woman is the most genuine and inspirational person in this world right now, she is very rare and as I was watching this tears stared to form because the words that were coming out of her mouth, really and truly changed my perspective of life. Thank you so much Katy.

[@greenmileyfan97]

You're such an inspiration! It's nice to see someone who isn't afraid of showing what their opinions are & their true feelings about society! Haha. Thanks for making this!

[@HallieShepard]

It's videos like these that make me wish I could talk to you face to face. I actually kinda enjoy hearing you just talk rather than the regular makeup or outfit videos. :)

[@elizabethlane5631]

The last part about always caring about people too much and putting yourself down for other people's benefits is how I am and this really helped me with the way you explained it and everything, this makes no sense but I can't put to words my thoughts right now

[@BeautyByKat08]

you are a BEAUTIFUL human being katy

[@acheleagada724]

I am going back and watching all of these talking videos because they literally are helping me to grow in self confidence and loving myself - you are soooooo inspirational and I have grown so much from these videos. You should write a motivational book because you are the best motivator in life I have found. You are so beautiful inside and out Katy, so thank you for this video and all your other talking videos, please do more x

[@lulikt551]

Watching you is like talking with a friend. You talk about anything... It will always help us in some kind of way. Please just keep doing what you do and never stop being so real and honest in your videos. XO

[@pupmykitten24]

Videos like these really help Katy ! Your a prime example of an amazing human being

[@linaalkhodair9802]

This is such an amazing video katy, you affected me so much loved your talk about loving yourself first cause you know i've always had this problem about loving people and appreciating them more than Myself

[@EmmaAlysonMusic]

Such a motivational video katy! I've been finding uni kind of hard as I feel really lonely (I started in September like you!), but watching your videos always Make me feel so much more motivated to get out there and just enjoy it! Thank you for everything, love you SO much!

[@julielouisereads]

These advice videos make my day Katy !! Please continue to do them , they are so helpful ❤️

[@themusicjunkie4life]

I loved what you said, "You can't keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm". I feel like that a lot. I also think I'm a caring person but sometimes I'm just pushed around. It's hard to know yourself without those little voices of others telling you what to think. Definitely do more videos like this, they're very helpful. It's great to know you enjoy doing them as well.

[@Learningwithmissclio]

you are such an inspiration and I feel like this video was aimed at me at this point in my life. thank you so much for making this beautiful, inspiring and genuine video xxx

[@kiwixoxoxo]

I felt like crap when I got home from school today. I feel as if I wrote all those questions that were in her video. But Katy really cheered me up, she always says what I need to hear. I love you Katy xx

[@JayLuhx]

you are such a wonderful person, on the inside and out! I finished college this past December, and am now going out into the teaching world :) I wish I had your wisdom during my first year of college-it's amazing how knowledgable you are! best of luck with everything, Katy

[@Lenadewaal]

You are a constant inspiration to me. I love how open you are with us. You're beautiful. Keep up all your great work.

[@Lenadewaal]

and another note... brow game always so strong.

[@jojorunner96]

Honestly Katy, you are such an inspiration: from super gorgeous photoshoots to hilarious challenge videos, I always look forward to your videos. You actually inspire me to continue with my channel. ❤️ keep up the wonderful work :)

[@smilesparkleshine20]

I absolutely adored this video it made me feel a lot better about how ive been feeling lately ive felt like a lot of people in my town do pretty much the same thing and ive broken out and done things different than everyone else and sometimes i feel insecure like i dont fit in bc of that but im glad you made this video cause you helped me realize i really wouldnt be happy changing these things about myself

[@cassandrab3615]

You're honestly so inspiring in all of your videos, ily

[@kaliemiera2871]

This video makes me feel so much inspiration & so much more normal with my experiences so far with college!

[@kathryndorothy6294]

I always love your videos like this. you are such a real and motivational person. thank you for being such a real person on the internet.

[@nikitaleten]

i absolutely love this video! the questions were very relatable and your motivation helps so much!!

[@jessafrog]

I love you. Thanks for talking about something that I've been struggling with for a while now and helping me start to figure it out

[@TheHaniis]

I was hving such a bad day today but all the questions u answered just was right on point. It just made me feel 1000x better. I love you Katy.

[@lyy303]

Love this so much. Feel like you're my friend who I can talk about things like these. Katy, you are amazing and thank you for being who you are.

[@SarahFaith]

i definitely needed this! especially since i'm a senior in high school and going to college in the fall. i love your videos so much & i admire you a ton katy

[@sarajanell7613]

you are the only person i can sit and listen to for hours. i wish you would understand how much i admire you. your mind, and your intelligence is astounding! keep doing what you're doing Katy.. you really bring food to our thoughts :)

[@invisiblekatie]

You always give the best advice Katy! Appreciate it! Its so hard to deal with things like self image and loving yourself, especially being young. Plus having social anxiety is a real barrier in order to learn to just be you and not care so much about every little thing. You're such a wonderful role model Katy ♥

[@eglantinec4748]

You just talked about so many of the things that I am scared of and I want to thank you for reassuring me in the fact that I am not alone in this. Katy I love these types of videos and I really appreciate that you are willing to be so open and simply real with your viewers. Thank you.

[@justmorganandmakeup]

Every video you post amazes me. I swear somehow you incorporate at least one crucial life lesson in every one of your videos. Thanks for inspiring me to be better❤️

[@ginawoodmansee2351]

I was feeling really really really down and this video helped me cheer up a bit, so thank you Katy :)

[@beuo1o228]

This is literally my favourite video on KZbin ever. Thank you Katy x

[@Onbetween]

Watching this during school study hour. Priorities.

[@BlondeBeautyxo24]

This video really made me think. I want to write and go into journalism more than anything. Of course at only 17 I could change my mind. And I also want to go to elon, but my parents are saying no because its a private school and that I should go to the local university. They say that journalism is hard to get into and I should pursue something medical. But its my life and I should choose what I want to do! If I work hard enough I believe that I can prove them all wrong.

[@klincolnz]

Medical stuff is insanely hard to get into/do as well, follow what you want right now but don't close off other things. Visit the colleges and think of where you want

[@ericabeth1054]

Oh my gosh. I just happened to stumble across your comment, and my life is exactly like yours!! I love journalism and writing, but my parents want me to pursue medical. (I am also interested in medical though) Im 15, so we both have time ahead of us to figure out the future. I hope everything works out well for you!

[@95tessah]

Hi ladies, I am actually pursuing a career in journalism at college right now and I can tell you it is the best decision I ever made. I think that journalism is more of a calling than a choice-if you are gifted and determined enough, you will succeed. If it's something you want, go for it. Feel free to talk to me if you have any questions :)

[@melissaamelia1616]

Journalism can be an awesome and very rewarding career if you work very hard! I am currently studying journalism at one of the best j schools in the country and it is super hard but i LOVE it. Pursue what you want. Look into really good J schools that will provide you with a good resume once you come out of college (Mizzou, Northwestern, etc.)

[@twogurusinapod3201]

I, Mandy, am going to school for fashion journalism. Of course, my parents weren't crazy about the idea and my dad still tells me to do pre-law instead. But follow your dreams! I would rather spend my life chasing my dream than miserably working in a field I don't belong in. It's not easy but nothing is meant to be easy. Take every opportunity you can (like internships) and enjoy your experiences. It's worth the chance :) PS- I attend a state university with a great program. Some local colleges have their advantages but if yours don't, try for the privates and apply for as many scholarships as possible

[@abrila1337]

LOVE KATY WAY TOO MUCH she's perfect it hurts!

[@miavaladez1757]

You're definitely my favorite KZbinr. You have great videos and wonderful advice. I absolutely love you!

[@gracelagrange3029]

Your such an amazing person and I can just see the genuineness in your videos. Enjoy life, love well, and keep making videos:)

[@pohshimin8564]

Katy I don't think I can love you more your videos are so inspiring I could listen to you talk all day❤️❤️❤️

[@brittanyrendell1356]

This video made my day :) each question had such a good answer and really made you think about life in general

[@christyapple1781]

Hi Katy! I am Christy from Hong Kong. You inspire me a lot. Today when I received my exam paper, the score was not satisfied as I expect, I thought I am not smart, and do anything with bad results. YOU remind me to love myself, to do everything the best for the future...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT KATY💜

[@SamiiMcCormick]

Thank you for making this video. just thank you. Its the type of video i believe more people should be making. thank you for your honesty and trusting people with your stories. Thank you for being someone I can turn to for inspiration and look up to in this industry. its people like yourself making a positive change that has inspired me to be the KZbinr I am.

[@avneetn.7123]

"you can't keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm" katy bellotte, that was amazing :)

[@RIRI-gb4io]

I loved this video! It's on of the best you've made and also the ones you make with your high school friends are awesome too

[@aliza.beth.]

These videos are sooooo therapeutic omggggggg yes!!! Ily

[@mly21]

Thank you. You help girls like me know that we're not alone. That we should do what we love and love ourselves, because if not, unhappiness'll creep in and it would just affect everybody who surrounds us. And I just love you. You helped me realize that I need to better myself, and not stay where others want me to just because it would please them but would be debilitating for me.

[@irismcpherson5947]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm waiting for my results to come back which determine which uni/college I go to and recently I've been a nervous wreck inside. You're such an inspiration and I love your honesty

[@emmadesmet2363]

your advice is so so good and thoughtfull, very nice having a youtuber like you, most amazing person!

[@adorableolive]

Thank you for this Katy. So eloquently said and so inspiring! You always seem to say what I am thinking and it just helps me to know I'm not alone so thank you.

[@alexis586]

Katy I want to stand out from the ordinary "KATY I LOVE YOU" comment! I want to truly thank you for everything you've done for the KZbin community. Personally, you've helped me realize so much through your talking videos, hell, you're the one who taught me how to apply make up. In my opinion, you're the best youtuber because of how far and beyond you exceed the limits that are placed on such beauty gurus. Again, thank you and I hope you have a beautiful day, everyday.

[@riikkamiettinen4481]

Thank you Katy for making these amazing videos, you make my day better every time I watch your new video :) More talking vids please they are always so inspirational!!

[@JuliaGilman]

OMG YOUR ENGERY. I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.

[@SusyPereira0]

Yeah me too!

[@lostpancake]

You are a QUEEN! Love you Katy thanks for your advice, it's so legit and not the standard cliche type of advice. x

[@mioosth]

your video's are always so inspiring and they make me so happy, thank you for that ❤

[@charlotte3282]

Another amazing video! Love ya katy! So glad that so many girls look up to you for advice

[@SElisa15]

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with getting bad grades? I'm a junior in high school and freshman and sophomore year I got consistent grades and had a 3.8. But now, I've been getting B's and C's and I just failed 2 of my finals:( I don't want to tell my parents and I've been internally breaking down I can't handle it! I wanted to get into a good college but now I have NO hope.

[@sarhelymorales7142]

Hi, don't worry I was in the same boat as you. I know this May be something you do not want to hear but things will get better. Don't stress about there is nothing you can do unless talk with your teachers to see if there can be something you can do. Remember grades are not everything in life you just have to remember to be happy. Try working extremely hard for this following semester to raise your grades and demonstrate your improvement. Study for the act or sat to get a good score in order for you to have a better opportunity to get into a "good" college. Seriously with any school you go to, it is what you make of it.

[@favouritegirl0660]

Hey, I think you should try not putting pressure on you about getting good grades and so on because if you are stressed out and you don't have time for anything else than school it'll just get worse. So just try your best , be the best version of yourself and your achievements will be completely okay. Just trust yourself because you can do pretty much everything if you try to

[@nholie9472]

Honestly, just make sure you're not surrounded by bad people, who are just there to distract you. Seriously make sure you put all of your effort and focus onto getting those good grades. It will definitely be worth it, girl!

[@Oceangirl436]

The same thing was happening to me. Junior year is hard. I pinpointed what was causing my bad grades and pestered all of my teachers. Good luck!!

[@ashleighnycole]

realize, you can take classes over (usually for free) online. take some time. focus on the classes you know best & then do others over. even if it puts you behind a semester. you'll have a bomb GPA & will be able to get into any school you want.

[@Angelface-zp3fk]

This is beautiful Katy, this was so helpful I almost started crying lol, please make more videos like these they are almost therapeutic

[@michellebaptista739]

It's videos like this that make you one of my favorite youtubers Katy! Every time I see one of your videos in my subscription box I stop whatever I'm doing to take the time to watch it and especially videos like this are so motivating and inspiring to me.. You are such an inspiration and I love you so much 💖

[@simplyshelbs16]

Katy, I just wanna thank you for being such an inspiration! Watching your videos today has really helped me through my bad day. We're all so blessed that you're in our lives on the internet! Thank you so much for always encouraging us and believing in us!

[@evakanaley8108]

Thank you Katy for your videos, I admire the courage you have to put your feelings and thoughts out there, I really agree on your advice, you are awesome! your videos are inspiration to better ourselves !!

[@sophiajane5966]

I love this katy! I had a really bad day today when someone judged the things I like to do. But this video inspired me to want to be myself and pursue what I love to do. thank you - love you.

[@gabiepT]

It's funny how I stumbled upon this video on the day that I needed it the most. I've been recommended to watch it, but I haven't been able to. And today, the day, I needed to hear the most and be reminded of some of the things she said - is when I watched the video. What a true blessing! Thank you! This made me feel just so, so much better. I was having such a terrible, terrible day.

[@amandagold1106]

You should literally be a psychologist! ILY

[@DakotaKilgariff16]

[@emilyjoye8788]

I love you so much Kate! I look up to you and when I am down I watch your videos it always make my day!

[@shannonrose6501]

You are my favorite youtuber Katy, honestly. You are my "tumblr post" that I have to take a step back from because what you say is just exactly how I think and what I believe. You make this world a better place (:

[@sandymayson5555]

Watching this at 1:30 am there's no way I could sleep without watching!

[@abigailfeehley6018]

You are so inspiring, mature, and a joy to watch!! Keep this amazing advice coming. You are so helpful and sweet ❤️💗 I'd love for you to talk about the transition between high-school and college!

All of your videos are always so genuine and fantastic. You deserve so many more views and subscribers. Not that it's super important, but more people need to hear the things you have to say!

[@milksfavcookieOREO]

You are so inspirational. Every video of yours is worth the time. Please know that I look forward to hearing your thoughts all the time and you truly give me a new perspective and I feel like you are that person that I gain lessons from in life like how u explained about Allegra

"Stop lighting yourself on fire to keep others warm" Damn that hit me
