[@thatonefriend2968]

Same too you!

[@kailynshaw]

I really admire your quickness to leave situations or experiences when they are beginning to disturb your peace. That’s amazing.

[@bq426]

It truly is amazing. And that's what we should all normalize regardless of how hard it can be sometimes. Strive to prioritise your mental health!!♥️♥️♥️I think it also comes with growing up and wanting stability, peace of mind and a non-stressful environment.

[@adoreserenity]

No fr! I do too, that is definitely apart of that Capricorn personality but man bc it’s one way to exhibit self respect fr

[@jokesonyou222]

literally I’m the same exact way I leave too quickly sometimes though but I always have the right reason to do so. It’s just not taking anyones bs and a simple act of self love

[@exclusivelynelly2832]

And very hard to do

[@tink6225]

introverted sensing methinks

[@ariannajanee]

It’s so crazy to me that “fans” aren’t supporting her new era. I’ve loved every type of video that she has posted, long or short. Still to this day I look at her as an inspiration! I love the woman that she’s becoming and is motivating me to be more at peace with myself and do things that I want to do! I’ve truly learned so much from her and have grown with her. I love it here and will forever love it here

[@treverhubbard]

Literally 🥹😩she so inspiring without even trying to be & her aurora and energy is so beautiful 🥹🥹

[@kayw2050]

Yessss

[@aaliyahhill6110]

I just have so much care for you. Your vibe and mentality is just everything and inspires me to be a better person for myself.

[@elizabethpanas3561]

I feel like the transition from high school to college was such a turning point in my life. it’s a time where you really learn so much about yourself. i switched my major in my junior year and i don’t regret it whatsoever. at the end of the day, you’re going to the same job every day.. you should really enjoy what you choose to do. so proud of you

[@rinaj1604]

Exactly, and you shouldn’t feel bad for not knowing what major you want to do right away or changing your major

[@maribenzo9881]

I was just thinking about this earlier ! I still don’t know what I want To major in 😭

[@rinaj1604]

@@maribenzo9881 I didn't know what I wanted to major in until my senior year and now I'm a freshman in college you don't have to have everything figured out and being undecided can help you figure out what you really want to do

[@saintgarcon]

i love the woman you’re becoming

[@daniellescott698]

Yes girl! As people we are supposed to grow & elevate! Sometimes unfortunately everyone can’t elevate with you. Sometimes we need a break and our interests change! It’s ok! Im an older viewer of yours. I’m 30 lol. I’m in the dental field as well for 5 years! With that said I’ve been watching you since you were about to be a jr. I love the young woman you have become! You have grown mentally & spiritually! I live 2 hours from ATL. I haven’t been since I was 21. I’m 30 now! I’m from Alabama and southern hospitality is a fluke! I say it’s how the person is raised & what type person they are! Anywho lemme tune into the rest of the video!

[@yakirabowen4375]

It’s so admirable how much you value education. I love that despite your platform you don’t look down on people that choose to go to college and pursue a more academic life path rather than entrepreneurship. It’s very refreshing and nice to hear that it’s cool to go to school! 😂♥️I wish you all the best in your move and vivi is so cute!!

[@vivrekay6096]

Vivi is definitely spoiled 😭 she’s so adorable

[@mikayla7006]

your rebranding is so comforting, most people come to youtube to escape their lives and watch someone who is completely unrealistic from where they are in life to the point where they dont even see them as a person, i love that you are real and you hold us accountable on who we want to truly be in the future/present. ive been working on myself as well and im trying to figure out who i wanted in my past relationships, just know im proud of you liyah

[@taterslaters8460]

you’re one of my comfort youtubers, literally.

[@TheBaddieBunny]

Seeing you and Azlia move every year to a new places has really motivated me more to make these huge moves ALONE. And not fearing who I have next to me to do it. It’s great to venture out and explore at our age

[@JayJayy9800]

My niece has gotten so big!! I remember when you first got her 😢 ❤️ And I’m so happy for you with your personal growth(s) do whatever you want, post whatever you want I love you regardless and I love your videos. You have been a big inspiration for me and I don’t care if you post a 5 minute video I’m going to watch regardless ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏾

[@MrIkhra]

We are constantly evolving, day in and day out, and you being able to leave when something isn’t for you is amazing. It takes a lot of strength & courage and for that we will always love and support you. Only you know what’s best for you, you go to sleep with your thoughts and yours only & you know what brings you peace. We love you 🥺💙

[@BritishAccentsAreIn]

As a person from Atlanta, I can say that the new atlanta is nottt it😭. With me being from Georgia, I have a love hate relationship with it, but I’m at a point where I’m ready to leave myself😭. So I completely understand!!

[@seluun2308]

when you first uploaded the video where you said that you were leaving youtube a couple of months ago i truly felt so down and i mourned your absence because your channel had really become a comfort space for me and watching your content felt like i just had an older sister that i could relate to, but when you came back i was so thrilled even though your content style had changed. i truly respect you so much Aaliyah and i admire the woman your becoming, you really are motivating so many individuals out there. shoutout to you for being real every single time sis, much love

[@makhijaden]

bro why is aaliyah so goated tho ? god literally created an angel we get to witness & watch grow .. her vibe is cold , raw & just amazing .. she’s beautiful asf ! HOW CAN YOU DENY HER THO ?? . bro keep being you queen ❤ WE LOVE YOUUUUU GIRLLL

[@tati2873]

I remember finding this channel during my senior year w online school and covid and everything was just a mess everywhere and Aaliyah has been such a comforting presence for me on youtube since i’ve found her. when she left i was sad ngl but i understood and i’m just so happy that she found her passion again and she’s doing better mentally and i love love love her energy her vibe her vivi just everything. if you see this Aaliyah I want you to know you the only person that has such good energy i can feel through your videos and I love your maintenance and persistence to stay yourself and be happy ❤️

[@true2babyd]

you always be real and speak your truth 😫 I be watching your videos talkin to the screen like “right” “she ain’t lying” . being mature at a young age is hard because most people are closed minded and not open to change , when maturity involves being open minded and open to change . being your true self and figuring out your true character should be a main goal for everyone honestly . And you honestly have me ready to pursue my channel 😫 because imma speak that real no matter who like it .

[@zee-735]

Thank you Aaliyah for everything ❤

[@arianawyatt8762]

I really like who you are. I can definitely see the growth in yourself and it really rubs off on me 😊 in a good way ofc. I love you so much ❤

[@_cherelleT]

Aaliyah, you’re such a beautiful person. It’s okay to miss someone’s old content, but it’s soooo much more to that. Especially if you truly care about that person. I’m just glad to see your smile & Miss Vivi! 💓 I pray all is well with your mental health, schooling, and your faith.

[@breannshania]

So happy for you! ❤

[@mackenzieyvette]

[@lexiibh]

i really love your sit down talks, i feel a lot better when i hear things from someone who i relate to a lot who can explain things better than me. I adore you.

[@naomicollins5699]

watching her is basically life advice that i need to hear and as the years have passed, she’s changed and as she’s changed i’ve changed with her. watching her has made me a better person and i’m so happy she’s come back as this new person.

[@maurasmith6475]

you are such an inspiration to all the young women watching, we're all growing and changing together and I'm so glad you're part of that experience. love you liyah

[@azaleereid9020]

Hey Aaliyah! I just wanna say I love you oso much and the fact that you are always changing and evolving is one of the reasons I fell inlove with your content. Im here for every journey🫶🏽💕

[@itsayaslife6952]

Being from Atlanta I can definitely relate to what you are saying. I knew that Atlanta is not where I wanted to raise my children so I left. I miss not having my family around but my peace is so much more important

[@immiiimgood]

I’ve always loved watching you not only cs your content is enjoyable but I admire the person you are and how much you keep growing

[@DamyahFrances]

I admire you quickness to leave situations when they disturb your peace because as a person who does the same it is completely ok to not give someone access to you. I am glad that you have decided to share some of your journey with us and sit down and talk about what you have experience because it definitely gives motivation that if it not right for you don’t settle for it ❤️

[@robinlashaun]

you don’t know how much i needed you rn.

[@NariahJezel]

LOVEEE YOUUUU AALIYAH you are my biggest inspiration.

[@jaelenbates9312]

I’ve been watching Liyah since her first nail vlog years ago, when she was a sophomore in high school. Girl, the amount of growth that I have seen you go through in these past few years, even while you were still in high school has been nothing short of amazing! We’re the same age and you inspire me to always dream big, but to know that I can always change my mind. Life is about making mistakes and figuring out what you’re here for. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey! I love you forever and always 🤍

[@niacourtney]

I honestly just love your vibe and I love that you decided to share this. It’s amazing to see how you’re growing and this video was just really inspirational. I feel like a lot of people don’t really think about these things or prioritize their own happiness and development and kinda just go through the motions. I’m 22 and I’ve been on a journey of growing and improving in many different ways and tbh it can be really difficult, but it’s kinda a never-ending path that’ll only lead to true happiness and growth, at least that’s how I feel. Do what’s best for you Aaliyah! ♥️ love you always

[@_.Jevarian]

I could relate to so many things talked about in this video. I love your mentality and how you view things. I’m so happy that your happy and taking time to reflect and focus on yourself.❤️❤️ love you sis.

[@asiacanillie]

I’m so proud of you and being able to recognize what you need and taking constructive criticism from someone else can be a hard thing to do but to actually reflect on it takes a bigger person ❤❤

[@serenityuniqueS]

I love how you do what’s best for YOU! Especially you being someone who inspires many, that is so important for your mental health. It shows that you know how worthy you are before anything. Health is wealth, so continue to do what makes you feel like YOU. ❤️

[@miahshermani]

as someone that has watched you for a long time. i can definitely say wow. you say what needs to be said weather ppl like or not. i will continue to watch you grow and your growth in life. definitely took in all that you have said and feel like i should apply these things to my life bc i can relate.
