[@KellyStamps]

This is just a quick life update video, there's more to come. Summary: I was going to hide my states because creepy people are out there, but I trust my gut and know I'll be fine and protected...and I can literally protect myself here *pew pew.* Something just told me *leave* big cities and I'm so glad I did. I'm excited to make videos again because there's so much to share. I've opened up so much, let faith guide me and allowed new experiences to happen. I love my town in Texas and love my neighborhood in Florida. I don't see myself in Florida forever but I'm so grateful that KZbin allows this extra income to play around with before committing to buying a home in either state. So thank you for always tuning in! Edit: I must mention, I was driving in Fort Worth on the I-35 minutes before the wreck happened. I just want say to not judge the whole incident unless you've driven on black ice before. Brakes seriously are no match for those roads. Yes, people were tailgating and driving like idiots still with all the warnings but these things are hard to control 100%. It's so sad! Edit: I'm not saying the south has no issues btw, I just mean you won't see a casual klan meeting at Chik-Fil-A LOL. It's not like the movies. Many minorities and lgbtqa people live in places like Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, etc. In fact, the richest friends of mine are all black and their families are based in Texas or Georgia. It's normal to be black and bougie in the south or places like Maryland. Just eave big cities and you'll see.

I am a white, southern, fifty-one-year-old school teacher who loves your channel. I am not necessarily envious of your KZbin success; I AM jealous that you discovered minimalism, essentialism, and "slow living" in your 20s. It is a joy to listen as you share your journey of self-discovery. If you are ever on I-95 South headed to Florida, I teach on an island off Georgia's coast not too far from the Georgia-Florida line. I would love to have you speak to my classes about the joys of having less. (Trust me, it will mean more coming from you Kelly, than it does from me.) Thank you again for the meaningful content.

@Tarkan Dereboylu Good catch. I can clarify that by telling you I found interest in simple jobs I would have never considered before as "enough." As long as I can put a roof over my head and have time to get outside I'm fine. I got used to aiming for jobs paying over 100k because I've only lived in big cities, but now I realize I only need ~60k to be happy. But easier said than done because I'm admittedly privileged and can afford to replace the clothes and cameras I donated while on this journey to minimalism.

You don't want a prestigious career? You're a KZbinr on track to make 6 figures in your 20s. You have near complete autonomy. That's the definition of prestigious to Gen-Z/Millennials.

I think she means reach the highest of prestige for whatever she’s doing. Like being an ultra big KZbinr like Emma chamberlain.

Trying to be the biggest and best at something sometimes puts unnecessary stress.

Lol same thing I was thinking! I grew up in Louisiana and they were racist AF. An old white lady even called me a monkey at my job.

@@amberbrown7660 I was born and raised in Louisiana as well, it's trash, lol. Couldn't WAIT to leave the south in general.

I should clarify that LOL: my small town in Texas is chill. Definitely not Florida. In fact I have gotten into arguments in front of Publix twice over terrible drivers almost hitting me pushing a shopping cart.

Lmaooo yesss apparently as long as you can step on the gas you pass the drivers license test lol but from a Miami girl try publix cupcakes best cake it’s a like a rite of passage😂

I did the SAME thing Kelly! I left NY end of last year and living in FL now. I'm with you on the glowing skin, hair growth and way less stress. I am looking at places to BUY theres no way in hell I would ever be able to own any property in NY! Also no more seasonal depression for me, hello sunlight! lol

I agree with you about living in big cities but disagree about racism in the south you have been there a short time it is affordable tho

[@shatemasmall9027]

So you don't want to live above your means in a city but than you go and rent two apartments in two different cities that is greatly distant from each other and requires additional expenses to travel between the two I'm confused 🤔.... But I'm sure you'll figure out your messy life... We all have to at some point..

I saw this post a hot second ago that said “Your Soulmate is Not In NYC” and that was when I started to plan my elaborate escape

[@Metaphoreign]

Its true - I struggled in an east coast city throughout my 20s and eventually figured out that city guys weren't for me. Moved to vermont and met my husband within a month. We live in a ski town out west now and it's awesome.

[@aaronbynum8968]

I think the city is good and beneficial for some people of color; and the country/South is good and beneficial some people of color it really is lifestyle choice what fits your lifestyle as a black person whose grew up in both I dont do well in the south its a much more difficult life for me I feel lost in all that space everything closes at 2am but when im in the city I have my stride I do better financially I have my fav restaurant I can get my bagel from my fav coffee shop I can walk too the friendships are expendable the s*x is expendable, the food is better in the south thats all, I have inner peace in the city the sounds of the city are like asmr, my anxiety is up the scale in the south because of how quiet it is by 10pm, at the end of the day thats what matters is the peace you have where you are but I hope you will consider staying in Europe at some point to really get that experience.

[@whatotherfoodfish7565]

Southerners don't care about skin color?? South as in Antarctica? Can't be talking about the Jim Crow south. Can't be.

[@whatotherfoodfish7565]

@Zaquoya Tinsley I think your willfully out of touch. But it's ok, I've met plenty who cope with the ills of America by turning a blind eye and just doing for self. I get it.. but the United States is deeply racist and the South leads the way. Been on the front lines for years now. Racism won't stop our progress but it's definitely something you have to strategize for. Reducing our fight to people who just "b*tch a lot" is kinda lame. Real people are effected daily. Especially from a health and environmental standpoint. Zoning alone exposes the racial caste structure easily. It's too easy to mention police brutality, that should be a given. But Godspeed on your journey in Kentucky. Which ironically is home to Breonna Taylor and a few more fatal and unjust police shootings of black folk. Do u tho

[@KellyStamps]

Haha, someone left a comment on my Boston rant video that said "the left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird." Racism is everywhere it's just presented in a fake-woke way in other places.

[@StudioJibby]

I love being alongside you in this journey and seeing you grow and learn what you want in life. It's so cool to see this path of self actualization first hand. Thank you for sharing with us and being so open and vulnerable Kelly!

I never understood why people choose to struggle so much in cities like Los Angeles and New York. Those cities may offer fun things to do but what good are those things if you can’t afford it.

[@tahinaschwegler8112]

Yeah most people don’t realize that the highlight reels you see of those places are only really the reality for the rich

[@yj6118]

And sometimes even if you do have the money to afford it, you don’t have the time cause you’re so busy working to have that money in the first place :/

“- and like, have some little envelopes”😂😂😂

[@laer.393]

this resonates so much; as someone who grew up in the suburbs and got a slight taste of ~city~ living during college i feel a calling to the serenity of the south😭 i just want a cute lil house a garden, which you can get there for a fair price. every place has it’s pros but the expensive fast life of more city areas is becoming less and less appealing to me and i felt like such an old lady for feeling this way at 21 but its refreshing to see someone else living their best life and freeing themselves from weird societal expectations. like tbh i too just wanna watch lil manatees in the ocean as i please😭😂

[@frankiebeech5577]

I love this video and have definitely found a love for the person that you are here. Your comments about racism have been interesting but I'm glad to see that you have found the truth about it. People of all races can be racist but most people in the South value your character above your color. I wish you nothing but the best and I have no doubt that great things are ahead of you!
