Isn’t it amazing how the key to growing stronger, is allowing yourself to be vulnerable?

[@melodyharris9000]

Social media should be a place where we connect to inspire and learn with one another 🤍

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mariliasilva5614]

Today I felt the urge to tell you how much your vlogs, your content mean to me. I've been following you for almost 4 years now and your way of seeing the world has inspired me so many times. You introduced me to yoga, the search for my spirituallity, helped me understand my anxiety and encouraged my journey in accepting my nature of feeling everything so deeply, knowing that it's more than okay being who I am, it's actualy amazing. So thank you so much for being exactly who you are, Kalyn. ✨ PS.: the waiting for your weekly vlogs it's my mood all week HAHAHA 💚💚🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@KalynNicholson]

wow thank you for that ✨ cool to think we've circled the sun four times together -- reading things like this always lifts my spirits, sending some of that good energy back your way Marília ✨✨✨

this weeks vlog chapters 💋 Parcel Unboxing: ​4:21 Hair update 7:15 How we create our identity: 7:55 How much should we be sharing online: 15:43 Question for ya -- what do you love to share and see online?

[@ForeveraDayDreamerxo]

KZbin, I LOVE vlogs. Idk I'm nosey haha. I just like to see what my favorite people I look up to do daily to get inspired and motivated. And I like when they are raw and real and deep. I usually just share the good stuff on Instagram. But in insta stories I can tend to share things that reflect what I'm feeling and will just depend on who's watching if they'll notice I'm off or not 🤷🏼‍♀️ Bad habit: I'm good at hiding how I'm really feeling from people because it's easier. Also, I've been slowly sharing my poetry more in insta stories. I've been writing A LOT from this breakup and I really think I want to release it in a poetry book 🙈

[@Vimarobabooks]

Ooooh I love this time stamp concept 🖤

[@amystaahs2118]

I love to see anything motivational like travel vlogs, inspirational words, goal setting, etc. That's why I love your vlogs! You're very motivational. You would be a great therapist or motivational speaker :) I don't have any social media except KZbin but I do not create anything to share but rather just have an account to get inspiration from videos.

[@Vimarobabooks]

I literally love seeing day to day stuff. That might be boring for some people but I fell in love with your vlogs when you just clean up your house. It made me think people would want to see my clean my house lol. Anything involving pets online is 💯 too

[@francescafelice2576]

Most of all, my passions ... such as quotes from the books or the movies that I love or photos of my dog 😊❤️

It’s automatically an amazing day when I get to sit down and watch one of your videos!! I hope you have a great rest of your week Kalyn ❤️

[@Thefitty]

Yes! We get to cozy up, drink something warm, kick back and watch.

[@CarolineLivino12345]

I feel like social media is such a wonderful place to connect with other people. *I would never wanna be without youtube! 😍✨*

[@jaydencraigie]

Kalyn have you heard of a sunlight alarm clock? I’ve been using one lately and it has dramatically helped my sleep!! It’s a clock that simulates the light of the sun (just with a lightbulb no actual UV like a light therapy light would have) so that you can fall asleep better and wake up easier. The sunrise setting works with the light slowly brightening the room (working in shades from red to white light like the sun) so you wake up more gradually instead of suddenly having an alarm jolt you awake. There’s ones available that have a sunset function too that slowly darkens your room (from white light to red light then off) so that your body can recognize its time to go to bed in a more gradual way. I love mine and it’s helped my sleep a ton!

[@chriss7352]

I have one as well and it is life changing!! It doesn't have the sunset function, but I mainly just use it for the morning. And I also have birds chirping as my "alarm" along with the light 😊

[@user-gv9mh1rq4j]

Which one do you have? Been wanting to get one for ages!

[@kelseys9536]

That's a clock a never knew I needed! Thank you

[@misstylahd903]

OMG! I was just thinking the same thing about social media this morning. I’ve always felt sharing my accomplishments on social media was unnatural only because I wasn’t willing to share all the “ugly” parts that led to those great moments so I just don’t post anything. Determining what to share and not share can be hard but I guess it’s the intentions behind it that matter. I just saw the thumbnail and I haven’t watched yet but will as soon as I get home! I 💙 Kalyn!

[@KalynNicholson]

Yessss I've fallen down that mental landscape as well -- what came through for me is what our intention/purpose/relationship to social media is. For instance if you think about the relationships in our life, different people get different levels of who we are based on their relation to us (best friends, parents, siblings, lovers, neighbours, strangers) -- not everyone gets to see the "ugly" or the vulnerable like our loved ones and the ones that do get different levels of "ugly". For other ppl we don't go deeper than just simple talk (strangers/work friends) -- it doesn't mean it's fake it's just different levels of connection. I think when we ask what relationship we want/have with our media, what our purpose with it is (to document something, to celebrate something, to express ourselves, to share a message, to spread positivity, to gain awareness) and our sole intention with using the platforms (again things like spread positivity, document something, teach, entertain, validation ((which isn't necessarily bad, it's built into our DNA to want the approval of fellow humans it = survival in our primal mind))) then we have better framework of what to post and what to leave private without the moral dilemma of "if I post me thriving on vacation in the Caribbean does that mean I should also post me at 3am cryng my eyes out"

[@misstylahd903]

Kalyn Nicholson thank you for replying & sharing your life with us 💙💙💙 I totally agree with you and think I’ve read that in a Brene Brown book

[@ziggyfide]

Wise beyond your years... Thanks for.being a friend to put life in perspective! Happy day dear friend.

omg im so here for drunk kalyn!!!!!

[@ForeveraDayDreamerxo]

Yessss!! Just what my soul needs. A Kalyn vlog ❤

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

I’m in awe over one little detail: YOU WATCH SUITS 😍 I think it’s underrated tv show, and I’m so glad you watch it! Will you a video where you talk about some tv shows that you’ve watched recently? I’m always looking for new suggestions 😊

[@stephaniesalas3035]

I just love watching your videos 🤍 on my days that I feel down, you just give inspiration to get up and do what I have to do. thank you for that! ✨

[@jaydencraigie]

I love to see happy and healthy people online sharing content that is wholesome and is them bettering themselves or trying to help other people become better, happier people! So you are for sure one of my favourites and I hope that someday I can have the same kind of impact on other people that you’ve had on all of us 💕

[@dreamsarereality4]

I always look forward to your videos. Sometimes I put youtube on and do other things, but whenever you post a new video I have to sit down and give it my undivided attention. You inspire me so much and I just feel so at peace when I hear you talk. I have been following you for years now and you never cease to brighten my days!

[@oliviadanielle]

I’m LOVING these weekly vlogs! They’re (you’re) always so inspiring✨ Also I can’t believe your birthday is almost here again! Feels like your year of twenty-thrive just began..... wild

[@AlyssaCamille]

It seriously amazes me how much I feel like you just get me and know exactly why to upload when I need it. Energy is coOoOoooL ☺️💕

[@dionaisycaceres3377]

You are truly an inspiration. The way that you hilight viewpoints that we all think about but are too scared to truly delve into is amazing. I can’t wait for the conservations that we will have this year. I love you :)

[@GiGiHoran1D]

I am so happy that you have decided to do this. These are honestly such a great vlog to follow. So happy and proud of you! Been here since the beginning... and don't plan on ever going.. love you girlie.. plus... the olly sleep gummies are amazing to help me fall asleep... highly recommend. they put me back on track and i dont feel like i have to take them every other night.

[@Binoushka1]

Ouhhhhhh the new merch !! Definitely going to buy one of those laptop case :O + Always a greattt way to start the week, watching your vlog, it's refreshing, inspiring & grounding ! I loveee it :) Yo go gurll!

[@agatawujcicka1068]

It’s so beautiful when everytime you’re explaining yourself I think I don’t need that, because I understand you like no other person in my life. Your talks always helps to keep my spirit calm and understood 🙌🏻

[@kristenwesenberg2430]

Truly loved this video! I can't wait to see the weekly vlogs throughout the rest of this year. Keep killing it! :)

[@KalynNicholson]

thank you ✨✨

[@nicoleleeanne6]

100% Agree with keeping part of your life out of the vlogs, I’m learning to do that with my channel too as a new KZbinr. Definitely challenging finding the balance between sharing as a way of connecting and living in the moment. As always LOVE your vlogs 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️

[@alaina_9277]

wow! its crazy how foreshadowing the end of the video was, i'm bored in quarantine binging and none of us knew just what was coming! you talking about us all sticking together during these times is such a great reminder. you are so mature and im inspired by you to become a better version of myself every time i watch your videos :)

Kalyn I needed this vlog so badly today. It’s like YOU KNOW. It’s so weird but so satisfying whenever I feel horrible you seem to either tweet something that I need or see a vlog of what I need to be doing. So thank you for being my virtual big sister 🖤✨

This week has already been testing me. Had a major setback and I’ve been wallowing in misery since Monday so today I was in the car coming from work and getting this notification made the elephant on my chest go away at least for a while. I brew myself a cup of tea, made an avocado toast and warmed up some cookies and I’m more ready that ever to soak in the wisdom that Kalyn will spill. Side note, you watching suits just made me love 1000 times more if that’s even possible.

[@KalynNicholson]

I hate weeks like that!! hang in there things will turn around soon, I'm glad the video gave you a mini escape ✨✨✨

[@queeneva3]

Kalyn Nicholson Kalyn Nicholson ahh you’re doing it again!🔮I was watching ASMR videos to calm down (side note, they help) & now this notification made me smile! You brightened up my day twice today😭They’ll turn around I’m not giving up that easily 🧘‍♂️😘✌🏻

You make my Saturday 13hr shifts bearable I sit and watch your vlogs and I can relax and escape for an hour sending so much love and hugs to you and bentley. P.s. in so jealous of all the snow we are meant to be getting it this week in Liverpool(England) but I seriously doubt it so seeing a little bit feels like I’m there with you 🙏💋😍

If there is anything I look forward to every week it’s you vlogs. Every time I finish one I throw a mental temper tantrum because I don’t want it to be over. I love watching all your videos. I know your life is not perfect but I LOVE your style and everything you stand for and i love that you just radiate good vibes and are a genuinely caring person.

*I respect your privacy, and I love that you are open to sharing certain aspects of yourself once you have gone through the hurdle, I would like to suggest that if you feel call to it, share the things that you are going through while you're going through them! I think in this way, we feel like we're taking the journey through with you! Especially if we are going through something similar. Just a suggestion. :) Thank you for doing what you do, and all my love. Namaste!*
