I love, love, love your sit-down videos. They feel so intimate and genuine. 🤍

[@HelloKatyxo]

Aw thank you!! I will do more of them!

[@aliciar7514]

Omg this entire video is so relatable! Cheers to growing up, getting wiser, and realizing our own opinion is the only one that matters!

[@gabriellaroberts]

You’re sit down videos have gotten me through the lowest parts of my life. We have very similar insecurities, your honesty makes me not feel so alone. ❤

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Throwback vibes for real! Been making content myself and watching you for close to a decade. Thanks for growing up with me ❤

Regarding the pill: I'm 40 and had been on the pill since I was 15 (!) which is WILD. I was so scared about how my body was going to react and I was ready to try any supplements, vitamins, etc. to combat the horrible symptoms I was convinced I would have. Luckily, everything has been great, and while I know this isn't the case for everyone, I would say give it a try if it's something you're interested in doing. I've been off for about six months now and I do still get the occasional hormonal chin acne, and other pimples here or there (I swear by Proactiv's repairing cream. I've used since I, also, 15) but nothing like I thought. My periods are still super regular and not bad side effects so far :)

Awwww Katy this was so cute and touching ❤

[@jadesullivan9891]

I love this video so much, I can’t stop smiling. This feels like girlhood and it’s so beautiful!

[@marishlarosa]

I feel like you’re literally speaking to my inner self of who I am now and the teenager I was then. Thank you for posting this and being so vulnerable ❤ you’re such a positive influence for women and I feel like you’re a friend I folks talk to and relate to on anything!

[@ljarvis1414]

I never comment on videos but this was EXTREMELY nostalgic for me as well! I have been a viewer since you high school videos when I myself was in middle school. Crazy that I’m watching this in my big girl apartment while making myself dinner after work. We both made it Katy 🤍

[@sassophoto]

so much love for that young girl and for how far you've come in your self love journey!! The most relatable and human experience, and yet it can be so tough. So proud of you!! 💕

[@kaitlynk1660]

I remember watching this video of yours when I was in middle school!!!! I have looked up to you for so long Katy and continue to love your content!! Your first kiss video and prom videos are CORE memories for me!!!!💗 thank you for all you do and for being such a role model and inspiration for so many years

[@avivapeltin]

This was so nice to watch! I like reflection videos. Would love a video about your short-term and long-term goals/what you wish to manifest! Love those sorts of videos.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Katy, I LOVED this video so much!!! 🤍🤍

[@jenniferthirteen]

Loved this! “Leadley” used to do videos to her future self and respond- they were always some of my favorites. I feel like you would love to do that kind of video. Just as a way to see how things change/grow etc.

[@nanettkalapos4915]

Been following you for a good 10 years now on KZbin and this was such a nice and nostalgic video! I truly admire your self-growth over the years (and kind of wish that I had spent my twenties similarly, but wellohwell, too late now). 😊 I also spent my best years hating myself and now looking back, I wish I could get close to the same clothing size!

[@user-un1qx3cs9x]

You are so genuine🙌🙌💃🏼

[@allesae]

love your energy ❤❤❤

[@DashShumilova]

love this video Katy!

[@emiliacarquez5717]

This video is everything

[@norahill597]

Love you!! Love this

[@cindys8374]

This was such a nice video idea 🤍

[@emilydeleon1]

Love this video! Thank you for being so open! We live in a world full of insecurities, especially as women. . .Also was I the only one who started scratching that little dot on Katy's Chin?? I thought it was my screen LOL

[@veerle3]

I used to get red bumps on my arms and legs due to lactose intolerance! When I stopped consuming lactose they disappeared :)

[@sarbrownc]

“How I look is the least interesting thing about me.” So true, I’ve learned this myself. Seems to be something we don’t learn to accept until at least 25.

[@natalienicolep]

Katie! The heck you were angelic at that age and still are! 🥹🩷 you’re absolutely perfect, I’m a hairy girl too! lol love youuuu P.s. Adam didn’t give us an update on whether he watched she’s the man last week with Amanda Bynes lmao 😂

[@courtneycrites9032]

When I came off the pill my skin broke out a lot, I waited a few months and then got an IUD which was not nearly as bad as I thought! Keep in mind no one posts their positive experiences online

[@Jessicatrentowsky]

I went off the pill after being on it for 7 years and it is true about the skin flair ups lol I would say there were a solid 6 months or more where I got a lot of acne around my jawline and the sides of my face. I ended up getting a prescription acne cream to help, but I think around the year mark it started to ease up, I actually ended up going back on the pill for mood reasons but if you really want to try going off the pill I would prepare for your skin to go through changes.

[@0o0TheQueenBee0o0]

just for your info, as an Italian I can say that no Italian woman would shave their arm hair. it is just not a thing here; we either wax them or leave them with hair 😊

[@naanajb]

would love to hear your current perfect imperfections!

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

Ohh the nostalgia of the 2010s!

[@AllisonIntheCity]

Sweet video :) Yes, your skin will likely explode when you come off the pill, but then you can actually work to help your skin! Putting young girls on the pill for their acne is putting a bandaid on the issue and not addressing the root of the problem (plus messing with your entire body because you = your hormones). Hell, there are even doctors hypothesizing that being on the pill will attract you to the wrong partners. TL;DR: I came off the pill in December 2016 and got the Mirena IUD and my skin blew up by May 2018. But I worked with holistic doctors to totally cleared my skin (after being told by a dermatologist that I'd have to be on the pill until menopause to clear my skin!). Luckily, when I had my IUD removed in October 2022, my skin hasn't yet blown up again!
