"I'm just filming the little things in my life and making that important because that it is and it should be - and I'm very grateful for the moments" - Thank you Katharine for saying that so honestly and reminding me how the simple and the little mundane things in my life can still the biggest thing in my life. Love your channel and your awesome!

[@xoxo-dr8df]

This honestly felt like listeng to a friend and just not speaking 'coz you can relate to it so much, you're speechless. I'm glad I found this channel 'coz that dishwashing speech is so accurate.

[@kittyquinn004]

I really love the clip of you with your hair up, dish gloves on, just doing the dishes and having a heart to heart about your struggles. That was so real and raw and relatable. I felt like I was a friend sitting on a bar stool in your kitchen listening to you, rather than just watching through the screen 💚

[@kb-ih7ni]

"you don't have the same access as other people have that help through rough times" yes, a thousand times yes. therapy isn't a thing where I'm from, only uber rich people get that. Rough times don't even stop at college, so when you lose access to university counselors and whatnot, you're really lost. I have a job that I like doing but it gets extremely exhausting (haven't had a proper weekend in months) but I can't just up and leave for a quick break because I have a team counting on me (I'm a manager) and a timeline to strictly follow (we're government-funded) or else the whole project and everybody else suffers. So it gets lonely esp during COVID because you can't work somewhere else for a change of pace since most restos and cafes still don't allow it. I'm still learning to navigate through my feelings (at least I've noticed I seem to have a cycle throughout the year so I can, for the most part, see when it's starting). And I don't like to discuss it with my friends because I know I'm lucky and privileged enough to have what I have, and it feels like something I need to deal with myself, like nobody can TRULY help me fix it but myself. That said, one thing that really helps in odd ways is remembering this quote from Chuck Bukowski (the only poet I will ever really read lol) -- "What matters most is how well you walk through fire." The fire will always be there. Hard times, dark times, rough times. They will never stop happening. What really matters is how well you'll bring yourself through it. Head held high, pushing on.

Being an Indigenous student in an oftentimes uneducated institution studying a creative, discussion based major, I can relate to those crickets. People are so afraid of our truths, they’re not going to contribute to our conversations or help our communities, but out of some false respect they’re going to stay silent about our work and our lives? Makes unfortunate sense :(

[@thegardenoftere]

i'm glad you were able to recover the video! i hope things are better for you now, last year of uni is stressful but in less than a year you'll be able to say i did it!

[@Angela-vm3kc]

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

When I get a notification that you have uploeded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳😘🥰🤩❤️

[@chiara_lambri]

You managed to recover the video, I'm so happy! My weekly dose of Katie, my comfort time. Thank you for sharing bits of your life, I've been feeling this heavy weight on me too and yes, it do be like that sometimes. I need to remind myself that eventually it will get better. Have a good week Katie, you deserve it!

[@mikaylak2507]

TW: Mental Health Struggles/Depersonalization/Derealization Thank you for this. I have been going through a time of change in my life. Last year I suffered from horrible depersonalization and derealization which made me feel like I was literally going crazy. Thankfully, in the past few months I’ve found coping mechanisms and outlets that have worked for me. I started journaling to help with my memory and am finally allowing myself to live in the moment without worrying about it I’m gonna have another episode. I’ve been seeing my friends more than ever, and have been allowing myself to really connect with them. Sometimes I feel distant, but I take solace in my progress. However, when I look at others, my coping mechanisms seem super mundane and honestly things I should’ve already been doing. But that sentiment, that some people don’t have access to optimism and various remedies, makes me feel a lot better. Even though my path is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I hope you can find strength in your own words and find a way to fit these hardships of life into your back pocket for a little while. Peace and love to you!

[@sohab.7097]

You know, as a pianist, it nearly kills me not knowing the piano pieces you use for your videos, they are all so good!! Also, thanks for making such great content and sharing all the little moments in your life. Thr happy ones make me happy and the rather sad ones shows me not everyones life is perfect and that is perfectly okay. You make mr feel not alone anymore and you, rocky and your videos make me really happy ✨✨✨ Stay safe, happy and healthy Kat and anyone reading this comment :D

[@rebeccap5430]

perfect post-cleaning sunday surprise 💕

[@emmi0712]

the "nothin' can ruin the day" was all I needed today

[@segiitaff6421]

I love hearing more of your thoughts in recent vlogs, I can resonate with them so much! Also wanted to say I've been really loving your twitch streams

[@deadclowngod2700]

i’m so excited, you’re videos are always so pleasing so glad it uploaded before i head to work

[@clarezhang3531]

a great way to spend a sunday, watching kat’s videos

[@fromthemoonandmybed]

I’m glad you were able to enjoy the concert alone. I’m going alone to see twice in February and I will fly i.e (5 hour drive away) from where I live. It can seem scary but once you get situated you will enjoy that feeling of doing stuff alone.

[@marjory62]

Just uploaded and it’s all I needed! Love you Kath

[@alijafarkhan8109]

Aesthetically speaking, you rock Kath! Don't let your mental health get affected because of these primitive-minded haters, you are one gem of an artist. 💯

[@antoniah9122]

31 minutes of pure joy

[@nanalele117]

Omg I'm so happy seeing so many stationaries from Chinese individual brands shown in your video, love and support from China✨

[@altliza7237]

[@emilyvian8853]

God I feel you on everything that you said in this vlog and I’m only like 5 mins in. Thank you thank you thank you for speaking up. I need to know that I’m not alone so thank you

[@Alexa-py8ur]

For the window, instead of using a regular cloth, use newspaper paper and any cleaning liquid, works like a charm for any glass/mirror!

[@xSHARIFAH]

i'll never get sick of your videos and thank you for sharing your thoughts even if they're not always positive ones! hope you're feeling better now ♡

[@talianicole]

[@crystalfelicia9924]

[@Julia.kathleen]

I appreciate you and this vlog, and all of your content lately :). It's so relatable and calming at the same time.

[@gee111.]

i got so teary eyed listening to you speak then. Honestly, i've been going through some stuff too and its been affecting my university work and i literally just told my tutor and had a breakdown to them the other week, but yeah. I just resonated with what you were saying so much and i hope you do feel okay soon, we'll get through this ish

Hola! Love your videos!

[@ariane1263]

Omg Aurora!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@annascalf9195]

Honestly same with me. I hate it

[@siobhansalter7263]

I was just wondering I've been thinking about starting to Journal but I'm a little unclear on what it entails and includes and how I should start and what stuff I should do to start? I was wondering if you could just like explain what kind of stuff you do for Journaling because I know you do it a lot?

[@LightheartedLisa]

Do you have to buy that capture card if you stream the journaling to KZbin?

[@pprincessanika]

AAAAAAAAAA felicidade em forma de vídeo

[@lizziedeerest]

Did your keyboard run out of battery? I have the same one in blue. I’ll just pray mine keeps working 😂💀💀 I love this video and I can’t believe the only comment I can think of is about the keyboard. Like, let me say something else… I’m in bed after my COVID booster shot, and I have the fever n shit. I’m really grateful I can relax via binging your videos. Ily. 💙

[@josiedanna6473]

i know this is so silly but if you wipe the mirror down with another town or like something that feels like those small cloths you use to clean glasses AFTER you windex it, that fog will go away.

[@jehanjehan4272]

16:05 what type of mic?

[@eternitear]

i havent even finished the video but omg i have to say, who tf just ditches a concert with a friend bc they're just too busy?? like obv i don't know the circumstances but come on. i really love aurora too, i hope you had a wonderful time

[@birsensuuu]

I'm not joking but I've read 'information technology' as 'neo culture technology'

[@midwesternprincess]
