LOL, Kayln, I am 23 going into 24, and i’m over her like.. oopp. 😅
I’m here from 2016… Wow, 7 years! that journey make me feel so emotional that’s so inspiring and 7 years with you, watching you grow, becoming happy, healthy, a mommy! crazy. you’re so special Kalyn, I feel like we are friends and when I have a bad time, I nearly always come here and feel cheer up. love you, can’t wait to see what’s next in 2023! 🎉❤
Well maybe I should start journaling. This was interesting and fun to look back on your past self
I loved this video so much! Thank you for being so vulnerable with us, Kalyn. I keep journals but am not sure if I’ve always done New year entries.

I absolutely loved watching this, I have been watching your content for all these years and it was so special hearing your journal entries then ❤
The other day I was going through my old journals from the end of 2019 onwards to see how my yoga journey started. Spoiler alert I didn't wrote much about it 😀. But one sentence that I read left me heartbroken for myself. Back then I was looking for a job for two months with no success, I wasn't able to continue my education because I couldn't pay the tuition and I was feeling so much pressure from outside (meaning not from me) to start a job and have money. But a job offer just didn't came and I wrote ' I'm a failure'. Up until the other day I never thought I was ever thinking or accepting myself as a failure. Now I'm pretty much in the same position again looking for a job but after I received help to continue my education and did it. Mentally I'm not able to read before 2019 even the whole 2019 because I know in what moments I wrote in my journals and I don't want to visit them. But generally 2018 beginning of 2019 was the time things started to go up mentally which is great and then went down 😀. That's what happened until 2022 when I really started my healing and growth.
Been watching you for 5 years. Keep it up!<3
On the topic of how choices impact the course of your life, if you haven’t already you should read The Midnight Library. Such a good book!
I would love to know more about how you healed your loneliness/how this journey was. I am at this point right now. I feel so lonely and it's so difficult to connect
One of my only regrets in life is that I threw away all my middle school/highschool journals. At the time it was a reminder of a dark place and I wanted to cleanse that energy by tossing it out…now I'm in a much better place and would have love to look through it again. Maybe it's for the best though 💕 thanks for sharing pieces of your personal life with us!
Its a great video Kalyn ❤I like the idea to look to the old version of oneself and remember all the feelings.✨ You say, that in 2018 you feeled that you be the best version of yourself but you are brocked inside. in this time I started to watching your videos. I never wrote this to you but in this time I started to live alone and i struggle with loneliness. In this time I liked this girl that give advices and tell about living alone and handling all this adult stuff. you became my big sister ❤Thank you for helping me (and I think lots of other girls) through the darkest days and nights in their life. ❤ now I feel much better and I look at you and you look so happy and in balance. it give me the hope that I can manage this too ❤ thank you for take us to your beautiful journey.✨🌙
Loving the intro!! Very soothing to the eyes
Makes me want to chill in a coffee shop
That pause before “significant other”👀👀
This was so comforting to listen to! Thank you for sharing your entries 🤍 I find it so interesting looking back and realizing how all your choices and cards your dealt unfold into creating your journey and you can only really see that after the fact. Feeling really inspired to get my journey out now! Also the entry about your guy aaaaahhh the sweetness!!✨
I'm kind of kicking myself for not ordering any Koze merch when I had the chance so i could have a part of it forever being a long-time follower.. 😔 BUT very excited for your rebranding and hoping it brings you a new found joy and refresher for your channel ❤️
