LETTING GO AND STARTING OVER - Love, Work and Staying Creative

[@CurlyVeggie]

It’s interesting how much one can root for a person that they don’t know personally...glad to see things are going well for you!

[@Kutovakika]

I really appreciate that, thank you so much for the support and cheering on 🥰

[@naimam3976]

@@Kutovakika Where do you live? I'm also in the same situation you were in last year, I'm turning 32 in august and I feel more ready than ever to find love. Can you make a video about finding love in your 30s and how to boost your confident? You are a beautiful and smart young woman.

[@Lovelyexper]

You are one of the cutest humans I’ve ever seen. I love your spirit. Congratulations on the engagement! I’m so enriched by your story. Love to you from the USA 💜

[@natasacumic8289]

My word is going to be spontaneous, because I think a lost a lot of it for the past few years, and got in a habit of super planning everything, and then when life happens I feel disappointed and angry. Trying to be more spontaneous and letting things happen to me spontaneously will be my goal for this year. 🥰 Thank you for sharing this with us and motivating people around the world 💕💕

[@ankeeno]

I'm having a tough time rn but I just spent 17 minutes of your video smiling. I have no idea how you do it, but you're doing it right 😁 Have a great year!

[@JenNippsOnline]

I love that your word is Trust. Mine is Grace. I’m too hard on myself. I need to give myself the same grace I give other people.

[@Kutovakika]

Such a good word, and yup I can relate to that too. I often hear myself talk very negatively to myself and think I need to stop that and give myself a bit more grace too. Thank you for the reminder! 😊

[@TeresaKayWilliams]

Aww this makes me so happy! And your fiance seems like a really mice guy.

[@Adventures.ofjenny]

Did anyone else go there he is! When they saw her new boo? Haha I did! Been waiting to this dude that put such a smile on ur face :)

[@everystitchaprayer6268]

The energy you send out into the world through your work is such a gift. Thank you. ❤

[@sofiapratto801]

It's very nice to see you so truly in love and happy, 2020 has been the year of "CHANGE" in general and so for you! Happy 2021 ☺️💖🌈

[@mariakristinalaurfelt5107]

You put a smile on my face, and I always feel motivated after watching your videos 🙏 My word for 2021 is Freedom. Ive been laid off from my work after 10 years and now I need to feel the freedom to do whatever I want to do and finally feel myself again. My needs, my time and letting go of things that no longer serves a purpose ❤️Much love from Denmark

[@Kutovakika]

Hi Kristina! Freedom, what a good word, and so relevenat especially right now when it feels like so much of the freedom we were used to has been taken away. I'm so sorry to hear about your professional challenges, that must be really tough after such a long time. But hopefully this will be a chance and opportunity to start fresh and will maybe lead to something new and a doing projects that feel new and exciting! Good luck with it!! Much love from a snoy Helsinki ❤️☃️

[@dr3amera]

Happy New Year! My word this year is.. gratitude. So happy to see you happy

[@Kutovakika]

Happy new year!! That's such a good word!

[@storyandstone]

My word for this year is courage. Having the courage to create the life that brings me great joy. ☺️

[@Kutovakika]

That's such a greta word, my word last year was brave, end even though I didn't think about it all the time, I feel it did make me braver in the decisions I made. Do you have anything in specific you'd like to be more courageous about or just in general?😊

[@storyandstone]

@@Kutovakika mostly life in general but particularly in the work I do. My first courageous step was to resign from a job that paid well but absolutely sucked the soul out of me. It was scary but I did it anyway and my husband supports me and since I resigned my creativity has been through the roof. I feel that life is full of possibilities and I can see that shift in me rubbing off on my husband too. 😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

BEAUTIFUL couple, so happy for you both. Trust-- excellent word for the year. "try" is my word. Or more so "I tried" because I get so caught up in 'what ifs' to the point of giving up before I even start. So I want to look back on 2021 knowing that I did not let fear of failure stop me . I want to look back and say " I tried". Much love to you in 2021! xo

[@Kutovakika]

That's such a good word and what a good goal for the year ahead! i know what you mean, I too tend to sometimes overthink and talk myself out of even tryng something. Thank you so much for your kind words and wishing you a happy new year! Lots of love from a snowy Finalnd 😊☃️❤️

[@aioliderock3365]

Dan Savage has this notion that you meet a person. And they are a 0.8 oder even just a 0.6, but you like them so much that you decide to round up and make them the 1. I really like this idea, because it takes away myth and pressure and gives you agency

[@Kutovakika]

Ah that's such a powerful word! Is there something specific you'd like to see yourself or your life transform into? 😊

[@milikoshki]

f yes! I'm procrastinating from work at the perfect time, clearly :) I like the idea of having a word for the year, although it's fairly difficult to come up with the perfect one- I'll have to think on it :)

[@TheSoundsInside]

Your content is SO good! 😊✨ Also, a video of yours I watched recently about your clothing style inspired me to express myself more with the way I dress. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. I’ve been working towards it... but you gave me the colourful push I needed to show my own colours! 😀

[@Kutovakika]

HI! Ah that's wonderful to hear, colors can bring so much joy and energy to your day! And I often feel that when you wear colors people will also comment and be energised by seeing your colorful outfits 😀 Yay well done you! 🥳

[@Kutovakika]

Yes it's quit Scandi haha! Although, to be fair we have probably more color than most Scandi people who tend to stick to a very white and grey color palette, at least heer in Finalnd.Moving can be such a stressfull thing, so I also feel I really want to just be settled for a bit at least 😅

Just stumbled on to your channel. What a beautiful knitter you are! Congratulations on your engagement. But please don't decide to get married for at least a year! You never know for sure if someone has a severe mental illness unless you give it at least that long! My mother married my father after a year. But she did not know how he could be! He is a Schizophrenic, constantly accusing her of affairs that never happened etc. He seems normal to everyone else! She has passed on but living with him was a living hell!

[@joannapetke3881]

I don't think that there is 'the one' for you, it's a fairy tale. Being with sb for a long time means hard work, patience, compromising, forgiving... Everybody makes mistakes and has bad days, even 'the one'. A relationship requires work and sacrifice on both sides. Then every person can be 'the one'. But of course, try not to pick a psychopath :P ps. The best lesson I got: the way he treats his parents is the way he's going to treat you (for example, if he lies to them, he WILL lie to you one day as well.). I'm very happy for you, K. :)

[@Kutovakika]

Hi Joanna! Yes I agree with you that there probably isn't just one "ohe one" for us, and the pressure to find someone perfect and having that fairytale is also putting all these preconceived ideas into our heads. Every relationship requies comrpomises and I think a lot comes down to our own attitudes too 😊

Hey Kika, Could you try to change your microphone a bit?

Thank you so much for your gorgeous videos
