"my anxiety has got a lot worse since the beginning of this year" soooo damn relatable to me honestly there have been days i couldn't even move....but i really hope it gets better for you and just wanted to say that its also okay to feel hurt from the things you thought you were healed because healing is really a complicated process and as you said in one of your videos that " time is such a beautiful thing" I'm sure it'll cure everything :) and i love watching your videos and to listen what you have to say about things and even your mundane days its very comforting......i hope you take care of yourself and dont push yourself too hard

[@aelurine]

that thesis paper sounds cathartic and anxiety inducing at the same time. it reminds me of journaling after my therapy sessions, seeing it in print always feels extra illuminating.

[@chiara_lambri]

Your thesis paper sounds really interesting, I would love reading it if you're willing to release it! ✨ And the fact that some people don't get how colonization works and how people are affected by it is just mind-boggling... Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us, I love hearing you chat about books and life. By the way, I'm so glad your mom is okay! I'm sending you good vibes for the upcoming week, I'm wishing you all the best!! 🖤🖤

[@kawaii_gallery]

katherine's vlogs are soo aesthetic and relaxing

[@bluesunflower13]

I'm so happy for you and your mom about her health. My dad was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018 and then again in 2020, but is healthy and on the road to recovery thanks to a stem cell transplant. Cancer is a scary thing, so I'm glad your mom can begin to heal and live her life! Also congratulations on graduating! What an achievement, you should be very proud.

[@WhoCaresAlisha]

Early congrats, Kat! I too walked a semester early due to finishing up my minor. I also relate so much to your paper topic. My mother had to pay and take a DNA test just to find out our heritage/tribe. Being able to know that information alone without doing so is a privilege.

[@may-ik4yt]

every time you mention your thesis I feel so heard because my culture has also been/is being erased and it’s a really nice feeling to hear someone’s similar experiences. you’re doing great Katherine 🥺

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

I just randomly found her channel in my recommendation now i'm obsessed with her videos she's so freaking talented.You are my favorite person always and forever and dearest to my heart🍡🍓🍧🎉🥰🥰💖♥️❤️❤️🌙🫂♥️🍡💗💕🍨🎂🥰💖🍧🍭💘🥳🎡💖🎉✨🎂💞🎠🎠🧁🥰♥️🫂😍🍓❤️😍🤭💗🎉🍓💖❤️

[@daisyzara]

I’m so glad you discussed colonization being something that still affects people today! Sometimes I also think about this and feel anger about how colonizations wiped out so many great things from this planet. For example, I’m Mexican, so I speak Spanish, but that’s not even my people’s language. It’s the colonizer’s language. I understand your frustration

[@aelurine]

@@TheDope415 barbados only just got their independence in February. Russia has military forces in Ukraine, Palestine's land is still occupied by Israel, the US wont give Puerto Rico it's independence, tbh it's really all over...

[@aelurine]

do you know whats embarrassing? I feel bad for not even being able to speak Spanish as a Latina because my dad never taught me. I'm speaking English, a whole different colonizer language. frustration is like THEE perfect word for this situation.

[@daisyzara]

@@aelurine completely understand! But hey, at least your parent made the choice not to teach you Spanish, so at least there’s some pride in not choosing to know 2 colonizing languages (:

[@wildflower3873]

Ok my skin is like white right so every body thinks I'm white like in elementary school I was trying to explain to this one kid I am Hispanic but he wouldn't except it. My grandma was from Mexico and my grandpa from New Mexico and then I'm also Italian and Irish and my family has also told me that we do have native in our blood but I love it when they all assume I'm white because of my skin when In reality I not. I am sad because I dont speak Spanish because my grandma back then didn't really teach my dad how to and I have tried to learn it but I feel there isn't a great way for me with the apps and how school taught ya know

[@kittyquinn004]

I would be very interested in reading your thesis paper. It sounds emotional and powerful 💚

[@juliac.a.]

So good to hear/read about your mum's good results! What a relief! 💜 Sending you a huuuuge hug and the best of vibes for this long week! Your videos always make me feel inspired and calm, thank you for sharing them 🌷

[@sonyab4048]

Your videos always feel like the bit of calm in the storm of life

[@marjory62]

Your volgs are beyond and I find peace watching them. Thank you!

[@shkmru]

[@abcd-fy1di]

Wow can't believe you are already graduating! Congrats!

[@FindingCharli]

I know this is going to sound so weird, but I was in NYC a few weeks ago and I drove by your school and I was like "one of my fav youtuber goes there!" 😱

[@ariannebonacua6141]

That book of night hardback looks like a dream 🖤

[@eldsflamma8286]

[@rosalieviolet3804]

Hi Kat, I''m so glad your mom is ok! Congrats on finishing your thesis. I would love to read it if you ever post it.Also I totally relate to the anxiety thing and I hope you feel better!

[@francis3980]

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

[@bm445]

Thanks for this lovely vlog💜 glad to see your mom is doing good~~ thanks for sharing your thoughts about your anxiety! Definitely relatable 🤝 hope you feel better💞💞

[@jennai8999]

here is the comment convincing you to read Throne of Glass! Life changer! Not as smutty as her recent work but the plot is very intricate and entertaining. I def recommend, though it is very long so I suggest audiobook!

[@jennalouisedreams7002]

You probably lost her with “not as smutty” lol

[@gabspetermann]

congrats kat 🫶🏼

[@nunita141]

I love your videos

[@clarasantos7559]

The aesthetic of your videos is 😙👌

[@somemorebooks1159]

I highly recommend House of Hollow for your next book. It is a YA but does not read like one. The writing is so beautiful.

[@zoe_life2443]

Love love your video 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@eliegow2040]

Hiiii I'm so early, I love you ❣️

[@lucyd57]

Omg what you said about colonisation! I am from Cyrpus (the unoccupied part) and my country has belonged to someone else for CENTURIES. At one point in history, we were passed on from the Turks to the English, as if we are a bag of chips... Now, I am studying at a uni in England and the IGNORANCE. People just take my identity as a cypriot so lightly and people get OFFENDED when I accidentally switch language because god forbid I dare to be bilingual... Don't tell me colonisation is a thing of the past when half my country is still occupied by the Turks (i know we are not completely innocent but you cannot blame the people of my country for the actions of one extremist group). Who is going to tell my grandparents, my grandmother who can't visit the house her own father built, my mother and her parents who had to hide in basements and under tables while they were bombing my country, who had to flee to England for safety, who is going to tell my father who watched a soldier being shot outside his window at the age of 5, who will tell my brother and my father and my cousins and uncles who have to go through compulsory military training and have to actually fight in a war if the turks decide to attack (and in that case, Cyprus has not chance of winning, meaning the men in my family will die)? Who is going to tell them that colonisation is a thing of the past? Now that the Turks are threatening to take over the rest of my country? Who is going to tell them?

[@yb32]

I'm so sorry to read this. I'm from Turkey and had no idea Cypriots from the Southern side felt this way. I've never been a nationalist person, nor was I brought up that way but unfortunately, our history lessons in school are filled with exaggerations and tales of victory as if we did not do anything wrong in history and every war we fought we just. Nor has our governments ever taken responsibility. As a result, many Turkish people are not familiar with the struggles of the minorities living here, nor the way we are perceived in Cyprus.

[@lucyd57]

@@yb32 Honestly, I really appreciate your reply. Of course, there are two sides to every story. We are not entirely innocent but I believe that Turkey's actions were too harsh, especially since the North is still occupied so many years later. It's so devastating to know that neither of us are being educated with both sides of the story. I mean no disrespect towards you or your country, and I really appreciate your willingness to see our POV (you could have easily attacked my comment and imposed your side of the story. But you didn't, and for that, I thank you).

[@MaryJXOXOPLans]

I always look forward to your videos... Great news about your mom!!!!! Im having a hard time picking a Fantasy Audio book.... Any suggestions?

[@kylewilliams956]

Gorgious job

[@bry_2112]

[@blancabakio]

I can't convince you to read Throne of Glass, but you can trust SJM. PS: I feel identified in 17:36

[@UkuleleGirlGuamBomb]

Do you mind linking where you got your desk chair from bc my back is about to snap with the chair I've been using? 😫

[@azra-whiterabbit]

Congratulations!!! I hope everything goes the way you wanted in your life and I’m grateful for you to always keeping up and be there for us-yourself. Thank you for continuing🪷 🖤
