I'm Taking a Break. | An Honest Heart To Heart About The State of This Channel

[@NikNik0123]

We’ll wait for you, Kay! Take your time. God bless‼️🙏🏽🫶🏼

[@1Marshanne]

We'll miss you and your mental health is what is most important.

[@raquelpenzo6299]

Listen, do what you have to do, just know I'll still be subscribed because you introduced me to stasher bags, taught me I could save money by using a shoe box for storage instead of buying acrylic organizers, and always reminded me to purge items every season to avoid overwhelming clutter. My favorite content is always your kitchen solutions because I have a tiny NYC galley kitchen and can always use at least one of your tips to make the space easier to cook in. THANK YOU. Bless! xoxo

[@catwhitt]

Take care of yourself, Kay! We will wait for you.

[@sandyjackson346]

Life is chapters of starting, stopping and resting. Now it's time to rest. Rest as long as you need. You'll know.

[@AuggMama]

You sound like you’re either burned out and need a well-deserved break (800+ videos!!) OR you need a change/pivot to topics that you’re excited to share. Take the time you need! Feeding the algorithm is exhausting. In the meantime, thank you for helping us get our ish together. You’re the one who inspired me for my own home organization journey. For that, I’ll always be grateful to you 💐. Huge hugs to you and Clover James.

[@tinasbeans]

This right here!

[@celinaquiros9381]

You are still inspiring us. I FINALLY organized my lower kitchen cabinets this weekend, which have been neglected in the 8 years since we moved into our house. There was never time and I never felt like I could really make it work. Seeing you over the years inspired me and provided ideas for HOW I could make it happen and WORK for my changing family. In the years we've been in our very tiny (950 sq ft) house, my children have graduated high school, moved out, gone to college, moved back, I've gone back to school, and we're all adjusting to different seasons of life. I felt like I had a few hours to really get after it, and I took all your advice (including that it doesn't have to look perfect -- which is really hard for me NOT to aspire to) and applied it and I am VERY happy with the results. I can tell that your joy has decreased over time with this channel, so, even if you decide not to continue (which I hope you won't), please KNOW that you have and are still making a positive difference in the lives of others -- not just entertained -- HELPED/IMPROVED/PROVIDED RELIEF and we love you for it. In the end, "You get what you get," and everyone needs to be okay with that. This is YOUR journey and we're fortunate to have years of YOU to benefit from. THANK YOU and God bless you Kay Patterson!!!!

[@berilcem]

Thank you for your honesty, I love to watch your cleaning/ organizational videos, you being plant and Clover’s mom. The music in the background is always joyful and also your voice the way you talked it gave me peaceful vibes. Hope you miss your audience too and be back. If you decided not too, no hard feelings I wish you the best in life. ❤

[@leannemoss7002]

You unknowingly became a friend to me during Covid. We had just moved to a new house, had to postpone our wedding, and was isolated socially out on a farm. I’ve stayed because of your kind heart and relatable, down to earth advice. I enjoyed your shop-with-me video at TCS recently, as well as watching your small space organization videos. I’ve never been inside a Container Store, but watching your passion for Elfa was so entertaining and informative. I redid our shoe system recently and remembered you saying flat shelves or nothing because slatted doesn’t work. I cried with you when you talked about your dad. I’m so close with mine and he’s my biggest fan. I’m sending you a hug, and want to tell you how brave you are to show up in so many different ways. I hope the universe brings you all the happiness. Take care of you. We’ll be here. ❤

[@seedylee]

i like seeing how you are actually functioning in your space as a grown woman/ half of a couple that has a pet and uses their space in a real way. you're not making messes just to film cleaning, and you're not specifically organizing things without figuring it out for yourself also, which i like. I'LL MISS YOU DURING YOUR BREAK!!! i hope to see you on the gaming channel, love you!

[@got_style]

What do I show up for? You, Kay Patterson💕 Whether you are in organizing mode or singing/rehearsing, cleaning, cooking, walking Clover---it doesn't matter! It's your authenticity, intelligence, vulnerability, personality... etc that keep me watching; for that matter, I would watch you watching paint dry (on either channel). Please keep sharing your life/your self with us, Kay, as best you can❤

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Ditto! Well said! 💜

[@susiedurham814]

I love your sweet voice and your genuine heart to help those of us who have average homes and budgets take care of our spaces a little easier. Watching you is like sitting down with a friend, sometimes a little constructive criticism and often a gentle nudging to improve the place I spend so much of my life. Your ideas have made my home happier, healthier, and richer. Not just $ but in time and energy saved. I appreciate you. ❤

[@ArtSmartSvcs101]

OG Subscriber here… and will always be here for you and your content, wherever, whenever… you know that! Your Vlogmas videos got me through my first Christmas and every Christmas since my separation/divorce. And your Clover Bean videos always warm my heart especially when my beloved pup passed. Honestly your Vlog style videos have always been my favs, they’re more personal, more you. Sounds like you’ve reached a fork in the road and that’s okay. Take the road less traveled and follow your heart. Life is short. I’ve lost both of my parents to cancer and both were under 65. I know that click when you loose someone you love and the earth shifts. Go live your life and unapologetically be the fabulous Kay that you are meant to be. Those you truly love you will be here for the “juice”. Sending you virtual hugs, always on ‘Team Kay’! 💗 Your #1 Fan!

[@mariayanakakisweeks8697]

Take care of yourself, Kay, and do what’s best for you. Your heart will not steer you wrong.

[@key6157]

Some of us are just here to enjoy whatever content you have to share. Take it easy--we'll find you whenever you decide to post again.

[@NoDecaf7]

I love your channel and your content. I'm very much behind on Vlogtober, but I'll catch up! I just had to stop everything I was doing to see what was up and show my support.

[@ADHDqueenB]

I see your organizing style as normal and human, it's achievable and sensible. Many organizers are either extreme or lean into You Have to Buy This Thing!! Your recommendations come from your personal experience and I never get the sense that you think less of someone who can't afford Elfa shelves, etc. Good luck with your concerts!

[@meodiv]

The reason I have loved this channel (and your namesake channel, too) has been in part for the planned content - the organizing, the solutions, watching how you handled moves and reimagining spaces - but more than that I have watched because you have been such good company along the way. There are plenty of people making content in these areas, but you have such a lovely presence and gentleness in the way you describe your approach to these topics that it has made me more confident in thinking about how I might do similar things. Your videos helped me as I got an elderly relative set up in a new apartment, cleared out and decluttered a house, made spaces work better while I was living in them, and then got a house ready to show/sell. Your willingness to share your home, your beautiful Clover, your journey back into song, as well as the loss of your dad have been great gifts as I've been going through various transitions and challenges. It makes me so sad to think that anyone would take the time to write hurtful things in relation to any of your videos, particularly when you have been so positive and encouraging of others showing themselves grace. Whatever decision you make about this channel, you deserve to feel the joy of creating and of being your best self through your offerings, here and in all you do.

[@JustAsh1994]

Love all your content! But my personal favorites are Clover content and organizing content. I just wanted to say your one of my favorite content creators ❤

[@tinasbeans]

We love you, Kay! I appreciate you being vulnerable with us and sharing so many parts of your life. I’ve loved watching your organizing videos, apartment organizing videos, Vlogmasses/Vlogtobet blogs, and all your ACNH and video game streams. Your content has brought me so much peace. ❤

[@stephaniewarmink655]

Keep running! I enjoy your channel, your pace and your personality. I am a choral vocalist (many years, though not currently). I am a gamer. I am on the decluttering journey...5 serious years into it. I appreciate you.

[@natalialopes719]

Sweet Kay. Thank you for being so honest with us. We don’t realize until we lose our parents. What an impact they have on us sometimes. And how difficult it is to lose them. I am 72 and I still think about my parents every single day. Losing them also makes us realize our mortality more than ever and helps us to reevaluate our goals and our life. You are very brave to be strong enough to make the changes that you need. I love your channel. I had to do a lot of downsizing and organizing after I became an empty nester and your videos really were so informative and helpful and encouraging. I will still watch them when I need motivation. It has been a difficult journey for me to become an empty nester and get rid of so many oflife’s memories. And your videos helped me a lot when it came to organizing and downsizing. I find your voice very soothing. I also really enjoyed that you are a musician in the Boston area. I am about an hour from there. I have a son that’s Navy classical musician and he has worked very hard to make a career out of what he loved to do. He has performed all over the world. Hasn’t always been easy. But for that reason, I love those parts of your videos. You have a beautiful voice and I hope one day I can see you performing somewhere in Boston. That would be such a treat. ❤

[@tomesandtequila]

I have loved watching you over the years, but it’s more important that you take care of yourself and do what it best for you.

[@musicismylove92]

Kayyyy

[@lilies-and-lilies]

I love your content 🥺 I grew up singing in church and dreamed of singing, but my family and community were never creative and I didn't know what opportunities could be out there. I was never taught that you can make money singing. I didn't know there was a world where I could have pursued singing and honed my craft and been part of something. I love hearing your music journey - it inspires me and makes me happy and hopeful. I can imagine myself singing again because of you. Actually, I'm on a personal well-being journey in general, where I'm trying to imagine myself doing whatever the hell I want - and you are a huge part of encouraging me through that! I love that you love gaming and organizing and singing, because I love those things too and it feels so wonderful to feel seen and connected with other people through the things we love. I'm 25 and have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, and your content makes me hopeful that I can live a rich and fulfilling life. It doesn't matter when I do things. I just need to be me. You help me remember all of this whenever you show up as yourself. There is literally not another creator who is as unique or interesting as you are. I'm sorry the numbers aren't what you hope for, and that strangers show up in your comments to take out their problems on you. I know I'm just one person but you are so special in this space. No one does what you do! Truly! I'm always looking for more people to subscribe to and it's really hard to find creators who are like you. I admire that you're trying to do what feels right for you - I struggle to do that for myself, and I feel less alone hearing your story. Take all the time you need. You're the coolest. Sending you good energy and warmth ❤

[@sharongraddy1354]

Love your content and delivery. Will await your return. Blessings to you.

[@janeenpringle2863]

Hello. I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented. I just mentioned your channel to a coworker. She’s a singer in Chicago. I agree. It would be difficult for me to read negativity too. Ppl have become brave “in the cloud”. I haven’t been spending much time on KZbin lately. I like the Boston and singing content. I also love seeing clover and product reviews. I also liked the fridge videos and the science behind it. Oh, and the Christmas decor videos. Your honesty on this video has probably helped more people than you know. Many of us are struggling. Please hang in there. There’s a niche for everyone.

[@IHopeUDance20]

Sending you so much love, Kay Your story about music and how passionate it made you feel doing it really resonated with me

[@carleneelise9436]

Love you Kay 🩷🩷

[@bonniewoodard2771]

Hey, you didn't give up with singing ... you changed your 'thought' about how to proceed and you threw yourself into it, asking for help, learning ... just like your dad!! So, please don't give up! Approach KZbin like you did your love of music; video what you enjoy; ... as you shared, you were the most passionate when you videoed what you yourself enjoyed! That is what shines and comes through to us, your viewers! I don't cook, organize, scour my apartment but I enjoy watching you! You seemed to be having fun, you giggled lots (love it) and you are so whimsi ... just enjoy and have fun if you still like creating and being creative ... I watch you because I like you :) your Canadian friend xo bonnie

[@celinaquiros9381]

Oh my gosh, hearing you talk about your dad reminds me SO much of what's going on with my dad right now. My 90-year old daddy was a Sargent in the Marines, always stayed super fit, took classes at the local colleges, was a really fun and skilled story-teller, and now I'm seeing dimentia steal him away. I've always said (to my girls) that you're my sister from another mister. These moments in life are so difficult, but seeing you pull through has given me and others such strength for our own struggles. Seeing you dive into just being you has been SO refreshing and so much fun. While I love and appreciate your organizing (truly), I love me some straight up Kay Patterson.

[@leannemoss7002]

I’m so sorry about your dad ❤

[@annatorres2209]

Well, we love and generally care for you and Clover. Take your time. Let your decision be your decision without pressure. Giiirl, have fun! ❤❤❤❤❤⚘️😊🙏

[@cosygracegames]

Kay!! I appreciate your kindness of just willingness to share all of this 🥰 I remember finding your gaming channel autumn of 2020 and it felt like a realization of ‘oh my goodness I love her aura, this person just makes me smile, I love her so much!’ Being able to hang out on your multiple channels throughout the years, oh my goodness I feel lucky. Thank you for putting your content out there, most of my house is organized because you inspired me and I tend to think of your channels like gold mines because it’s not just about the recent upload, it’s years of comforting, fun, and inspiring content! Just thinking about it makes me grateful! 💛🎉 Literally your ability to be honest and open means so much; I want you to be happy, and so many others I know too do, please please take the journey you need to go on to be your happiest most fulfilled self! These little reevaluations can really change a persons course so here’s to living the coolest and happiest lives we can imagine, we can achieve it 🙏🏻

[@katiemae1903]

❤ Do what brings you joy, inspiration, and peace. You have brought these to me for years thank you, and I pray for your abundance in the same. I hope you find your heart and soul sing in harmony with your beautiful voice. Cheering you on!😊

[@sallybischof4828]

I watch your videos all the time. We all need to take a break and reorganize. Take your time. I'll be here.

[@hollye5695]

Thank you for your authenticity and strength! Your channel is wonderful and I've enjoyed being along for the journey. Be happy.

[@debbiemize2269]

I love your videos, especially the organizing ones! I will wait for your next video. Sending you love from Texas ♥️

[@Mekhinya]

Sorry you had to deal with the serial trolls. I’m glad you have grown to dismiss them. Hit that pause button, Kay. Take care of yourself. We’re here 😊

[@sandymiller99]

I’ll stay subscribed as long as your channel exists. I have found that you motivate me to tackle areas in my house that I want to improve, give me ideas I never would have thought up myself, and inspire me to be creative with areas I’d put on the back burner (the light box windows in the basement-brilliant!). I like your personality and you come across as a very real person, like I’m watching a friend. I do hope that you’ll be back, but hearing you talk about what’s been going through your mind, I get it, I understand, and I’m supportive in however you choose to move forward. Virtual hugs to you and snuggles to Clover ❤

[@carolcasassa160]

I'll wait for you to come back! You were instrumental in helping me to get organized!!!!!!! You do what is best for you!

[@lbnursecassie]

Thank you for all your professional organization tips. Thank you for being candid and open. With a parent who is going through Dementia right now... everything needs a pause. Again, thank you for everything 🙏🏽

[@Trudloops]

I liked your organizing videos, including packing for trips. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know you had other channels. Please take your time. Sometimes, we do need a break.

[@emilyhammer4192]

Kay, I always love how raw and honest you are! Sometimes things serve us for a season but ultimately it's time to let them go or pause them for a while. Either way, I am so grateful for this channel! I found you when I was very overwhelmed with my home and pregnant with my third kiddo ❤

[@Kazooka]

I landed here about a year ago after becoming a regular viewer on your gaming channel. I was surprised and delighted to discover this aspect of you, and so impressed with your lovely home and all the care you put into it. Along the way, I also became an avid viewer of your personal vlog channel, of which I am a particular fan, and it did not escape my notice that you seemed to be funneling more energy and joy into the gaming and personal channels, rather than into this one. So I feel happy that you are taking a step back to reevaluate it. I think the thing that's easy to forget here on KZbin is just how many varied hats a content creator wears, what a constantly demanding career path it is, and how lonely it must get from time to time to be a one-person operation. I think you are fabulous and I'm so glad I get to know you in this parasocial context. You really rock, Kay!

[@lynettedaniels1236]

Honestly, I like your content here but I’ve come back because I like you and who you are! Take care of yourself!

[@barbaracallwood9220]

Thank you for all the wonderful videos you have shared. I’ve really enjoyed stepping into your homes and spending time with you as we organized our homes. You have introduced me to new products and you have allowed me to spend time with Clover. I started watching you shortly after I lost my lovely Sandy and watching you interact with Clover brought me such joy and healing. I wish you the best with your singing and I will continue to watch your life style channel.

[@carolk3703]

I almost never post publicly but felt it important this time to let you know that I've been subscribed for a few years now and love your channel (I've been known to binge and re-play your older videos too)! I always looked forward to your videos the most over other channels about decluttering and organizing. You're the one that got me to learn how to declutter, organize, and clean my home, and I felt you always gave very practical and achievable advice, tips, etc. and your videos are very well laid out and structured (you generally don't go off on tangents and quickly regroup if you happen to!). You felt genuine to me and truly one who knew what they were talking about and importantly lives it. I enjoy the products you find and have bought a few based upon your recommendation. Also, maybe this is less obvious, but I really do appreciate your choice of music that you use on the channel. It's always appropriate and not annoying! This is actually a very important thing for viewers. It feels odd to me that you say you didn't feel like you were putting forth your genuine self as I thought your personality and authenticity came through (other than understandably trying to suppress the swearing, lol). I hope you do find the answers you're looking for, whatever that may be, for this channel. Selfishly, I'm glad you are still keeping your other channels! Take good care of yourself. You are worthy.

[@moozel]

So brave to be honest with yourself and us. Take care, see you over on your lifestyle channel which I love!

[@cindyb9052]

I appreciate your organization videos, but I really love your personal blogs and your music. I love that you've ventured back into something you loved. Do what's good for your head and heart.

[@406disneyfan2]

I love your content! You are my favorite organizing content creator because of your real life approach. I love to cook and I am never going to have one of those aesthetic fridges or pantries. I have watched your closet and makeup videos and enjoyed them very much. I just lost a bunch of weight and I have to go through my closet again (which is a great problem) but is a little overwhelming. I do know that after watching your videos, I’m going to put more intention into the new clothing I buy. You’ve helped me immeasurably in organizing my home in a way that works for me! The more organizing and declutterring I do, the more in love I am with our home. Thank you for that gift. I embarked on this journey after losing my parents-figuring out what to do with all their possessions while grieving was extremely painful. I’m determined not to leave that work to people I love when I go. After losing them, I also took a step back to evaluate what would be next for me. I’m running headlong into that future now. You do the same and please take care of you!

[@Veronique0420]

I love all the content, organization, clover and you during covid. You were my covid bestie. But i would love to see it all, life, singing, clover, gaming and all ...

[@melanies.6139]

I love your channel and content. I think I’ve been a subscriber for 6 years. Your positivity, sense of humor, and down-to-earth personality make your videos a pleasure. And Clover is an added bonus. 😊 Take care of you and the time you need. I’m not going anywhere. Hugs Kay. ❤️

[@sarra8913]

Honestly I hope you feel better and let go of any pressure! Lots of people like me love vlog style content, and coming from you where there's still some decluttering etc here and there - that's more than enough!! I do NOT need an expert! I like seeing a whole sweet person sharing her passions, especially cause many of those passions are interesting to me!

[@jtea6863]

Wow!!thanks so much for your honesty. I wish you well.

[@deedsh6280]

It's a powerful thing, to pause and listen to our souls. Follow it, and you will stay in tune with your personal North Star. We believe in you. Thanks for all you've shared with us, and here's to reflection, renewal, and resetting for the next chapter, whatever that may be.

[@psedineh3427]

Do what’s best for you, Kay. I will watch whatever you post, which I hope you do, at least occasionally. I’ve learned a lot from you and I actually loved your personal vlogging. I appreciate your calm nature and seeing clover. So many thanks and I hope to see you and clover soon. Xx

[@michellemakeuptutorials]

sending you Love, I feel your heart through your videos and I truly love your energy. I am sorry you are struggling with things right now and I hope you take all the time you need and know we will be here waiting for whenever, if you do come back/ my favorite content you make is usually you organizing and just talking casually to us bc your kind Soul shines through

[@charlafraley8340]

we love you. Do what you need to do for yourself but I sure can't wait to watch more of your content in the future.

[@jillgaddis3889]

Take care of yourself and what you decide will be good. We can wait until that time. I do enjoy watching your ideas and videos and I enjoy when you help others. Maybe for viewers could ask for help, as not all closets are the same. You are so gentle with your approach to others. Wish you the best whatever you decide.

[@schnder1]

You are so kind and sweet. I enjoy your teaching but more important is your authentic heart that shows up in every video. To really take a much needed break is to not have a plan. Maybe for the first time in a long time do not make a commitment to any more than you have to. I have complete faith that this will end up being a good thing for you to do for. yourself. I will be thinking of you. ❤

[@stephaniewarmink655]

Much love to you, Kay! See you soon! (She says in an affirming voice while nodding head.) 😂😊😢

[@dianabeebe2188]

I recently found your channel while in the middle of decluttering. I appreciate your organization ideas so much! Also, take care of yourself and ignore the negative feedback. Do your channel the way that makes you happy.

If this channel is not bringing you joy like your singing, you do what you need to do. You have given me many helpful tips to organize my apartment. Thank you.

[@t.s.611]

Hi Kay! Sorry I haven't been around much lately-brought home a new puppy a couple weeks ago and I'd forgotten how much WORK a new puppy is! I found this channel a few years back (around the time of the cloffice) because someone recommended it in the comments of another organizing channel. I try new organizing channels here and there, but I don't end up subscribing to most. I subscribed to you because your advice was so down-to-earth and realistic. I'm never gonna be a full-on minimalist, nor do I have so much stuff that I need ways to fit more into what's already full. I'm just an average gal trying to keep my space in some semblance of order without driving myself nuts in the process. I want to love the things in my home and take good care of them without being ruled by them. This channel had that vibe from the first video I watched, and that's why I'm here. The reason I've stayed around is because of your personality. I'm subscribed to all your channels now because you're so great. My husband knows your name because I talk about your videos to him all the time. I appreciate your sense of humor and how down-to-earth you are, and I love how respectful you are of different people's circumstances and how you always acknowledge this in advice videos. I guess for practicality, I most love the videos where you work on spaces in your own home and lead us through your thought process. I also love when you comment on organizing hacks or memes and give your own (often contrasting) practical advice. I watch everything with joy, though. Those are just my favorites.

[@t.s.611]

Also, re: creating and how much to do for your audience vs yourself... I've struggled with this with my writing. I actually quit writing for 8 years because I burned out so badly. And what I learned from that experience and coming back to writing the last couple of years is that creativity can't be entirely for others, at least not for me. I must create for myself first, and make audience adjustments after I've had my fun. Any time I try to create only for the audience and ignore what I want to do, the burnout comes back with a vengeance. I think every creator has to experiment and find this balance for themselves. I'm sure there are many people out there who create only for themselves and don't consider audience at all, and I'm sure there are also some who can create entirely for others without having to consider their own desires. I am somewhere in between, and from what you said here, it sounds like you are too. Not writing for 8 years helped me get this perspective on creativity, but selfishly I hope it doesn't take 8 years for you to find your creative groove! I'll be here whenever you're back, and I'll keep enjoying your other channels in the meantime!

[@TheLillasol]

I love listening to you Kay and love both your channels 💖 You are such and amazing person and I really love love love your gaming Channel. People can be so ignorant, I´m so sorry and hope you still want to play cozy games with us with Clower in the background 🌻 I´m so sorry about your dad passing 🙏🙏 Lots of love 💕💕

[@robertasnyder9562]

I like your organizational videos. You have a friendly and easy style. I’ll miss you. Best of everything.

[@aprilnicole4503]

I found you on your gaming channel when I started playing Animal Crossing New Horizons and then discovered this channel. I followed you to your other channel as well when you started that. I just like what you’ve got to say, your perspective on things. We are the same age, so I suppose that could be part of it. A lot of what you do is different than anything I’ve done, as I’ve never been a singer/performer, never had a KZbin channel, never lived in the part of the country you live in. As far as my viewing habits, when I stop watching one of your videos, it’s more likely that I had to stop to do something else (like chores I have to get done or do something for my husband, my son or my dog) than related to you or your video content. I aspire to being more organized, but I’m not there yet. I’m so very sorry about the loss of your dad. My mom got sick (melanoma) when I was in eighth grade and died when I was a senior in high school. Losing someone you love (a parent) is hard. It really changes your perspective on life. I hope you can make content that you enjoy making. I’m sure I will watch whatever you’ve got to say.

I was part of an online community that appreciated all my organizational efforts and work to facilitate, but when other parts of life needed attention, it was very hard to bring the support I had online, into the rest. It hurt my feelings, like you describe, that the community was really only interested in the persona I had for them. It wasn't their fault, just the limitations of life. At some point it was hard to stay interested there, because of the energy it took to compartmentalize. All that to say, I really hope you find a new creative wind. I find you so unique, the only channel of this sort that I follow because of your genuineness and groundedness. I actually work for TCS now, so the last thing I usually want to watch is something work related, but you're an exception. So, you do what you need to!! And thanks for everything so far.

[@hazelwelch1902]

I have watched you for several years and enjoyed your personality. I have NEVER commented on anyone's video. Thanks for sharing! I love yours and Clover's personality!

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

I have enjoyed your content. You need to follow your path, no matter what changes it holds. Good things are ahead. Hopefully our paths will cross in the future

[@tracyj3969]

What I enjoy most about your channel is You! You and the sweetest ever Clover. I understand if youve come to the end of the road, although for purely selfish reasons I hope not. I have enjoyed both your clever organization and your amazing voice performances. Whatever you should decide, I wish you all the best and if you do decide to come back.. I’ll be waiting ❤

[@margaretl8851]

I just want you to know I have loved hanging out with you and organizing. I will however wait for you to come back. I've learned in life that passion comes in spurts. Everyone needs a break here and there. Take care!

[@echoraptor4]

What I like the most about your channel? You! I am rooting for you Kay!

[@suzyqzar]

Oh Kay! Your emotion is raw and beautiful. I found you in 2020 through your gaming channel and follow all three channels now. I love organizing content, love Clover, and getting a little peek into your life. As someone around the same age and a similar place in life, it’s nice to see people of the same mind. Thank you for being you! And come back anytime

[@TeriLinWA]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I first found you through this channel several years ago when KZbin suggested it because I was watching/searching organizing videos and Cavalier videos. This channel immediately became my #1 favorite channel and the first one I will choose to click on. I enjoy how real yet kind you are with organizing spaces and sharing your thought process has been very helpful. I also enjoy seeing you redo spaces or touch them up because that is real life when we continue to bring things in and live in our homes. You get that. I like seeing your personality come through, you are a joy and so relatable. I have enjoyed learning from you about different organizing products out there and solutions. Just recently you changed my life when you showed your wrist towels! Life long annoyance now solved!! Thank you! I love how your face always lights up when Clover walks in the room. 🥰 I enjoy seeing you shine here and on your other channels and in life. Please take all the time you need to decide how, or if, to proceed with this channel. Life is short. Do whatever feels right for you and the right people will be there! I’m not going anywhere and in the meantime, I’ll see you on your other channels! Sending love and hugs.🩷

I'm only halfway thru, but in the least parasocial way, I wanna say I love you! You're such a kind, genuine person and creative. I have always enjoyed your vlogmas/vlogtober videos because they soothe me. I found your channel around the time that I lost my mom and you've helped me through that journey of decluttering and letting go. You've earned a break, Kay! Even if you decide on a different path, I hope you'll let us know how to support you there too.

[@michelledemayo9325]

Take care of yourself, Kay! I love your content and rewatch episodes for inspiration. My favorite find from this channel is the Elfa Over the Door Rack/Shoe Storage. I love you and Clover and have enjoyed your lifestyle channel as well. I’ll be here when you’re ready. And I’ll see you and Clover over there on the (KP) flip side!💕☕️

[@bernadettehooper4318]

You give to your viewers. Now, give to yourself. Take the time to refresh, without the constant production pressure that is KZbin. You have proven your success, 111k subscribers. How you change or take a break is your right. I've always been here for the organizing. I may not do everything your way but I appreciate the practicality of it all. Your personality is what shines. Welcome back, when you are ready.

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

I love sweet, fun you! Annnd Clover!! 🥰 I think everything you have done, has been awesome!! 🩷 🙏 You find whats best for YOU!!

[@alelihernandez5687]

I'm grateful that I found your channel. Creating content is too much work to do and not enjoy it. Hope you have a great break!

[@michelleschave8697]

I love you so much. This was so heartbreaking because I wanted to give you so many hugs. I love what you said about your dad. You need to reset because doing things that do not fill your cup is not any way to live. I adore everything you do and I’m am not unbiased because I love you. That said, I really enjoy the organization of specific areas that you do. It inspired me to have a more organized space because I felt I could tackle it one area at a time. Closet. Bathroom. Side table by my bed. So on. I realize that is repetitive for you and get it. Whatever you do, I’ll always be here. I love the vlog channel more than you know and the gaming channel is where I found you and where I’m honored to mod for you. Take care of you first and we will benefit from that. Doing what you love is a contagious thing. People love to see passion. Whatever you choose, I know you have incredible support. ♥️♥️♥️

[@SpicyBrainStudio]

This is my first time commenting on one of your videos. I’m sorry that it has taken me so long. I found you pre-pandemic and have loved YOU! The organizing is fun but I absolutely love your personality and creativity. I have an MFA in Acting, so it was nice to see a woman my age trying to kick ass and take names. Just be yourself. If people can’t handle the cussing, then that’s on them. They are just words. I love you just talking to us. I feel fatigued seeing all of the super polished stuff now a days and I’m looking for longer form content where I can spend time with a creator and learn what they love. Whatever journey you go on, I am so grateful to have had a glimpse into your world. Thank you!!❤

[@jesangel4472]

I appreciate you and your content very much. Your thoughts and information are helpful. Please take time you need.

[@gracethroughlife2996]

I have enjoyed your content and will stay subscribed. Take care of yourself. ❤

[@donnag7020]

Kay, the only reason I don’t watch your gaming channel is because I’m a Boomer that’s not well-versed in gaming. My fantasy self wants to play Animal Crossing on a Switch with you, but I don’t have a Switch or know how 😂 Your organizing and home making content are very inspiring to me, so I watch both your organizing and lifestyle channels. I understand about nasty comments and feel sorry for those people and for you in having to put up with them. I love hearing you sing, and it’s fascinating to glimpse the world of professional singing. I used to be a soprano, but now I’m an alto and I can’t read music but I still love to listen. All that said, I like your content and I’ll miss you on this channel but since I’m retiring from the best job I’ve ever had, while I still like everyone, I get it. Be blessed.

[@jacintasorrenti]

You are so brave. So much love for you Kay! ❤❤❤

[@candacebrooks2803]

that is some badassery, KP! take care of yourself, celebrate your father and go SING ALL THE THINGS! ❤❤❤

[@laurelglasgow7445]

Take your time. Have a rest. Come back when you are ready.

I remember what youtube was like in the beginning- it was the wild west... but it was also wonderful. People were so much more themselves. It's getting harder and harder to find true authenticity anymore. Yes, there are huge, monetized channels covering the subject of organization... but the reason I keep coming back here is because of YOU. Your you-ness. You bring your individual perspective to everything you do, everything you share, and to the way you share it. The "professional" persona was incredibly watchable, but since you decided to be more yourself, it's gotten so much easier to connect with your videos! It feels real, it feels like you're a human being talking to human beings. You achieved your goal, Kay! You are doing the thing! I completely understand the burnout, the soul searching... I've had a few different careers myself. I very much respect that you're doing what you feel called to do. I, for one, will subscribe to your other channel and happily continue watching whatever you care to share with us. We really are lucky to have you. ::hugs from afar::
