sometimes the person we see in the mirror...isn't who we wish was staring back at us....we wish we were different....had different features...
I know my nose has always bothered me...I don't like that it looks like a pig nose to me...but I do like that I can breathe through it just fine...
I don't like the bump on my lip...where my tooth went through my lip when I was little..but I like that my lip is still there...(i won't bore you with the rest of the things that bother me..ha ha ha)
sometimes we wish our personalities were different, or improved in areas...
I used to be incredibly shy...I never felt comfortable enough to speak up....
thank God, that has changed...ha ha ha ha
and again...I won't bother you with all the things that I want to improve...ha ha ha..we could be here a while! ha ha ha
The thing is, we can hold back all the great things that can be in our future, but not believing in ourselves. If we don't believe we are good enough..we will never even step out to do the things we'd like to!
Please don't let yourself, our your lack of confidence...hold you back. If we keep telling ourselves we aren't good enough...we'll never make it! We have to be our first line of encouragement...our own team of cheerleaders, our one-man (unless we have anyone else to cheer us on) team of "you-can-do-it-ness"!
Things I want you to do today:
Tell yourself...
"I am beautiful"
"I was born with incredible talent"
"I am going to do great things in this life I've been given"
"I am going to go after my dreams, because God gave them to me for a reason"
"There is only one person like me in the world, and I am awesome!"
"I love my body, and I'm going to take care of it and feed it healthy food"
"It doesn't matter what people say"
"I am loved"
"My thoughts, style, and personality, are special, unique, and I'm not changing to be like anybody else"
"I will stop telling myself I CAN'T.....and only tell myself, I CAN, and I WILL"
......I will go after my dreams
......I will dress in clothes that make me happy, no matter what anyone else thinks!
......today I will choose to love myself, and do something to make me happy today...
......today I will take some time to think about my dreams, my future, and day-dream about what my "dream" life would be...so I know what I need to go after!
When you visualize something..the style clothes you want to wear, the career you want to have, the home you want to live in...the person you want to be....
it gives you a target or goal...then you just need to build the road to get there!
You build the road by your choices...
decide to buy a book or magazine, or research online about the dream career you want...
Make small steps to build the road to your dreams, by making one small choice...
decide to look into schools, design a business card for yourself, start learning on-line...start just with thinking about it and encouraging yourself!
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind."
Today be the you that dances in your heart...
the you that says funny things in your head, but doesn't say them because you think someone will think it's dumb.....they won't...those are the things that make people fall in love with you!
Be the you, that dresses how you want...because you like it and it makes you feel confident and like the real you!
Be the you, that says, "yes I am an (actress, artist, singer, dancer, designer, painter, photographer...teacher...) even if you've never made a dollar from it! Just because you make money at something doesn't mean that's what you are....you are what you are by doing....not by dollars!
I believe in you! You can do whatever you put your thoughts to! Be bold, brave, and do things that you are scared of, and soon, they won't scare you at all!
this was typed with love and so much encouragement and thoughts of your heart ans dreams!
huge love and hugs....kandee

Thank you so much, Kandee! I told one of my best friends yesterday that I had such a problem with rejection, it was almost if I had refused to try. Life and all of the circumstances that go with it can really do a number on you, if you let it. I suppose I had. Thank you so much for reminding me that I don't have to accept rejection, defeat or what another says about me. Thank you for your encouragement and your love for us, your fans. You have no idea how much you blog means to me, especially today :)
lots of love to you, my dear!
heather from 'bama :)
This is just.... beautiful, so true, so well said... Thank you Kandee for reminding us about this... Wish you lots if love & happiness! :*

♥♥♥You Are SO Encouraging!! Keep It Up Kandee!! We Love You!!♥♥♥

this reminded me of a song, True Reflections, by the dave matthews band, here are the lyrics
When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you?
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Remember the time you hung out with the boys, now
Remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
But after all that was yesterday
But you've had time to go out in the world now
But you chose to run away
Well, people ask you what you're doing now
You don't even know what to say
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
You think your life is like a movie
Where it all works out in the end
I think your life is like a desert
Where does it go, where does it begin?
When you look into a mirror
(When you look into a mirror)
Do you like what's looking at you?
(Do you like it?)
Now that you've seen your true reflection
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration...
It's down deep inside of you.
I La La La Lovee You kandee! You really inspire me to be ME. In school we had to do an Essay on Someone you look up to and admire and I did You :) Thank you for all Your kind and uplifting words of encouragement.. I just want to share this with you also...
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" sooo Much Love squeezed into this comment for you Hehe <3 :D xxx
Beautifully said Kandee.
Your such an inspiration.
: )
LOVE you kandee! <333
thank u for ur amazing words...its late night and there's nothing as comforting as reading ur words filled with love and giving hope and strength...
btw, u are beautiful no matter what you think :) i would love to have your nose ;) lol...i've always been insecure about mine, which i feel is asymmetrical...and one day, the prettiest girl at college girl randomly tells me that i have the nose of an actress;) it lifted my spirits for a whole week!
but your post will keep my spirits high for a long time :) when there are days i feel down, i will always come back to read your words..lots of love,xoxo
ugh!!!! I heart you, Kandee. totally what I need to hear...though I have no direction, no passion...none that I can think of at least. I see you as someone I want to be, but I dont know if I'd be good at make-up. support-idk if I'll get that from my family. Thank you for all of your words, I will read them over and over for encouragment <3
-Ashley Lujan
Thank you Kandee! I need to hear some words like that because i begin to not believe anymore in my dreams...It's so hard here in France to "be that someone you want to be"... Your words are just what I need to hear today! 'make a small choice to built my dream'...Bisous from France, Je t'adore Kandee, you're the best "guru make up" on youtube! Sweet juste like a candy...Bisous ;)
thank you kandee! i love you so much and i can feel your love!
Hey there!
I really like this post, its a great idea to create it and just helps a lot since it concerns pretty much everyone.
thank you so much kandee!
Love from Germany
Marie
Kandee you are BEAUTIFUL!
And you are blessed with the features that you have :D
Love you <3
Kandee, you have absolutely no idea how much I have been needing to hear these words!!!! I want to thank you so much because this truly helped me in so many ways! I am a senior in high school and I have been shy all of my life. Most of the time I just don't even say things because I'm afraid that people will think it was "dumb". I have been wanting to change this about me for so long now and your words just encourage me to want to do it that much more!! I love you so incredibly much, Kandee! You are absolutely AMAZING!!!! :)
Kandee, thank you for everything you do. :)
You say the truest and nicest things. I love reading your blogs and they've become quite inspirational. Thank you. Thank you for being you and I'll strive to be more me. Have a fabulous week!
Wow. that was extremely encouraging, thank you :)
Thanks for the inspiration kandee, you are awesome!!!
You say the most perfect things every time I need to hear them!
MUCH LOVE
<3Kyndal
Thank you for this post Kandee! Your positivity always helps me try to be more positive myself. :)
What a great and ecouraging blog, thanks kandee, i was having a crappy day anr then I read this, and now I feel like a superheroe, Thank you for the encouragement and inspairation, THANKS!!!
PROPS TO KANDEE!!!!
zerotaper@yahoo.com
Kandee! You truly are one of the biggest inspirations in my life! Thank you so much for everything. Everytime I read your blog I end up smiling [even after a bad day], or I end up thinking 'Yeah she's right! I WILL do that'
Again, thank you so so much! =]

Oh-my-gosh! That post made my heart do flip-flops and cartwheels. You have inspired me to my core. I love you and your beautiful soul. I totally needed this post today. I actually put this post in word and made it all pretty and it is hanging from my mirror. Thank you, Kandee Johnson. You have truly changed my days, and my life.
Holy cat...really? You are gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. I think you have a perfect nose and great lips. What makes you most beautiful is you are so loving to others. I know we are our worst critics but you must know that to us you are beautiful - Inside and out!!
Oh Kandee, you're so fantastic. I can't even begin to tell you how many times your blog posts have been the helping hand to pulling me out of a puddle of mud... You're so fantastic, you have such a sweet spirit and personality! You are loved by so many! Keep it up girl! You rock!
Oh.. ;( You brought tears to my eyes.
I'm gonna write down those things you wrote to my notebook, to remind them to myself every day! Tell a huge thanks to your mama for giving the birth to the most precious DIAMOND girl in this world - YOU, KANDEE.. I'm gonna cry..
Yours Giedre. (huuuugeloveandhugs)
It's funny how people see themselves so differently than others see you. For example I have always envyed your nose and I think it's just beautiful (unlike mine which is quite big and not very symmetrical).
You inspire many women and girls around the world and you're a great example for every one of them. Stay just the way you are.
Halauksia Suomesta! (Translation: Hugs from Finland!) Haha
Thanks so much kandee <3 and the same to you! Xox
Yes! You are so good to express these things! Kandee, I know like many... I love your blog. You are an inspiration! Don't ever stop. I was given a blog award and I would like to pass it on to you. Take it or leave it. You are one of my faves! Love ya Kandee!!!
Kandee!!
Thank you so much for these encouraging words! Lately I have been feeling really insecure about myself and have constantly been comparing myself to other girls and have been really down on my self. I just wanted to thank you for posting this and giving me some words to go by. I have written down all the things we should tell our self and posted it on my mirror!
Hey Kandee!
Thanks! You're amazing. I recently discovered you, and you already mean a lot to me. And I have to say that I'm entring in this make up world and you've been so engouraging to me!! so... thank you again!
(My eanglish is not that good yet, hope it's understandable!)
Big hug and kisses!
Cecilia.
You are so awesome Kandee!! this is so inspiring and don't let the negative comments bring you down, just like you wrote "those who mind don't matter" and that is so true! have a wonderful and happy day!! :)
This made me feel better,thank you!
That was a bad day for me! Now, and because of you, i feel so much better. Thank you! You are, we are and i am beautiful etc etc :D
Kandee
Somedays i think that God has placed on your heart what i need to hear. (or read) you always inspire me and encourage me to keep going after my dreams. I am a mother of six and only 32 so i have given up a lot , but i have amazing children that i love more than life, but somedays my life is very hectic and i forget to think positive . I also forget that i matter my dreams are important. you inspire me and make me smile. thankyou! you are awesome kandee!
Hi Kandee,
I woke up this morning with less confidence than I had the day before. Your words of encouragement are very inspirational. I just wanted to ask how did you get over your shyness? All the things you have said are something I am trying to achieve, but I feel like those goals are hard to reach. Well, thank you for your words of wisdom. I hope you have a great day =).
Kandee u are amazing! thank you!
Hi Kandee,
I just had lunch with a friend and was talking about this exact subject and how I was feeling. It's nice to know that someone so beautiful like yourself feels like this sometimes too. Thanks for your positives words and thank you for taking the time out of your day to send us all a little note of inspiration.
x's & o's
Amanda
Just...THANK YOU.
Amazing Kandee - Thank you!
Hi Kandee. This blog totally made my day. I've been struggling with my weight for a long time and your blog totally gave me a good kick in the butt to start reaching for my goals. You are such an awesome and inspiring person. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Thanks for all your encouragement and kind words. Your cyber buddy, Jesie.
you truly inspire me Miss K xxx thank you
YES Kandee!!! Your words are full of wisdom. It's all about being capable of loving ourselves the way we are <3 because its the scariest thing if we do not love ourselves. Scarier than if others scrutinize us. Love yourself and the others! Make our world a brighter place <3
This post is very encouraging, especially for those who are going through a rough phase. And I think that's just what it should be - a rough PHASE. Don't make it into a big issue. You will make it through & the only person you need to get there is yourself. So believe in yourself, darlings.
I know whenever I was down or didn't feel confident, I didn't rely on anyone. Not because I didn't want to, but because I couldn't.. for most of my teenage years I moved a lot, I wasn't that close to my mum & my best friend who I once lived 2 doors down from was now over an hours ride away. I had no one but me & I'm kinda glad I had me, myself, & I to rely on because it has made me a much stronger person today.
Oh, & the song Beautiful by Christina Aguilera helped a lot too. It may sound cheesy, but I do believe that certain songs/lyrics, motivational quotes, etc. can help you feel better.
& yes, I am a blogger & damn proud of it even though I haven't made a dollar from it. I enjoy doing it & it's a part of who I am :)
I love you so much Kandee! I could feel my eyes tearing up as I was reading all of that.. you are certainly without a doubt beautiful too and I thank God I have you in my life! xoxoxoxo
You are amazing Kandee. Thanks for inspiring me. You should feel good that at my MAC interview i stated that you are my favorite inspiring makeup artist when they asked :)
Love this post! Can you do more hair style posts? I have alot of hair and have no idea what to do with it I did use your tutorial on how to cut a sweep bang and LOVE it!
Kandee. Thank you! You're a gem! Much happiness, love, and success to you :)
Kandee- thank you so much for your great blog today. Everything you mentioned in it was exactly perfect and led me to a better day. I have been looking for schools to become a makeup artist. I am only 15... and I know the direction in my life I want to take, already. You are so amazing and I love you so much!! You r the absolute best! So thank you for making my day tons better. LOTS OF HUGS! Love you Kandee ♥ Sarah (pirategalmakeup, pirategal456 on youtube)
Oh wow Kandee, this is an awesome post!!! I think sometimes I get lost in all the things you dislike about myself and care too much about what others think of me, I forget to inspire myself. This post was very inspirational and a good reminder of things I often forget to think of. :)
You ARE A M A Z I N G! Love it! <3
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement Kandee! For the longest time I have been obsessing over my weight, but I have realized that that was the way I was made and I am going to embrace it! Love you lots!
Really great post.
you are incredible person. You serve as inspiration to me and so many others. God bless you !
Very inspiring Kandee. :)
I really needed to read something like this today. Thank you. :]
your are such an inspiration girl! I really needed this today, thanks for a great, uplifting blog. Keep up the good work!
Kandee you are so awesome! You're the reason I stopped being afraid to try new things and push myself to do better and be more. I am SO GLAD I found you!
Love you TONS and BUNCHES!!!
Sarah
You are so inspiring and I totally understand what it is like to be super shy...it is so debilitating...but I got over it too and I am so much happier. It is just something you have to get over. It releases so much tension when you choose to show the world who you are!
Kandee,
I know if one of your best friends was telling you all of the things they hate about themselves you would probably reassure them and tell them they are wrong. Well, I want to be a friend (whom you've never met, but a friend no less!) And tell you, you are extremely beautiful, inside as well as out. Women would do all sorts of illegal things to look like you (Myself included). I know a lot of our insecurities about ourselves (not only physical) are difficult to accept. I don't know you well, though have been following your videos and stories, but I do know you are such a pleasure, whether you are talking about your difficulties or how you are trying to overcome, your son or just makeup, you mean everything you say and say all that you mean. Your qualities that we have only been able to see through videos, are why we love to watch you. You have such a strong heart and soul; people love to watch.
~Idaliz
love, love this post!!!
I would never thought you used to be shy!!!
It's great to hear that!!!!!
I'm still working on not being shy, loving myself... & making friends.lol
Thank you, Kandee. Everyday, I walk into the halls of my high school wearing what makes me happy, sporting amazing make up looks (supplied by the amazing Kandee Johnson, of course), and with this big (imaginary) tattoo across my face saying "FEARLESS", all thanks to the help of God and one certain angel, you. :)
Thanks for helping me change my life. :)
Perfect time of this post. Thank you :)
Oh Kandee, stop complaining ! You're so pretty :) but you're 100% right :)Be yourself - I'm trying, but sometimes it doesn't work ;)
I wish you all the best :)
I am a firm believer in self motivation!!! Love the message today.
YAY Kandee!! I am forwarding this over to my wonderful hubby. We have a website design/graphic design company and he has been struggling with feelings of inadequacy and fear. He has the education, experience and me and our customers know he is super awesome, but he needs to start cheering himself on! I hope you are having a very blessed week and thanks so much for the great post!
Ok to be honest I LOVE YOUR NOSE!!!
hehe you're such an inspiring and amazing person!

Your post made me think of this Josh Groban song... hope you like it!!
Thank you Kandee! You're always an inspiration for me. I'm incredibly shy, and it makes me sad because I don't talk to many people because I'm always scared of what they're thinking or what they could say to me. Every time I read your encouraging posts, it makes me want to break out of this prison and slowly I've been getting better at being social, all thanks to you! You're giving me the courage and confidence to break out of this shell and talk to people (even if its indirectly, lol). Your bright and bubbly personality makes me want to be happy like you. I just want to say thank you!
Thank you Kandee.
Without your words I would probably be ... I dont know..I just feel you and your words lead me to the right way.
And I love you just the way you are!
Angel Ramirez
This is exactly what I needed to hear. You are always spot on. I do not believe in having "idols", but if I did you would be it. I adore you! Keep up the hard work.

kandee, today is a weird day it started out with my horocscope and it was good and went with the thing I did today and it was fine til the end it went down hill and I like to hear what people have to say. When I read this I was like wow I really needed this.

KANDEE :) you rock!!!
Thank you Kandee. I needed that. I have 3 kids...and felt somehow that was just it. All the dreams I had are gone now. Thank you for encouraging me to dream again..(this is my motto) one of those dreams is for me to emerge from this shy introverted person to some one who can affect the lives of those around me..someone who i confident in the gifts that i've been given. Thank you for going after your dreams. it is such an inspiration.

Kandee your such a beautiful person, inside and out! im sure people always tell you that aswell! i love you so much you are such an inspiration to me! you were who got me into this beauty internet vlogging on youtube/blogging here on blogspot. i love you!!!!
Love this post and I really agree. Life could be so different in a negative way. We are so focused on all the negative stuff, when we have so much to be thankful for.
I love these words, written by someone in Denmark;
"People will forget the things you said and the things you do, but they will never forget how you made them feel".
Love from Norway
Kandee you are such a beautiful person inside and out. If only there were more people in the world like you. Thank you so much for your encouraging words.
Jenny
This was the best post of encouragement for me! Thank You!
BTW I have always loved your nose and wish I looked like you and had your nose, your beautiful..
You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Honest. Inside and outside.

Ptaxx
aww that was beutiful..!! love you kandee..!! whenever I feel sad, I see one of your videos and I feel much better, you're the best..!!!
Thank you Kandee. Not only are you beautiful outside but inside and you help bring out the best in us. I was just looking the other day in the mirror and being critical...your post showed me that what I see perhaps others don't...keep pouring out your inner and outer beauty tips: because this is your calling girl friend...
I think everyone should sign this!

Kandee, I really needed this positive inspiration today; thank you for being beautiful and encouraging and filled with such spiritual grace. You've been so blessed to be a great leader and encourager and I thank God for you and you for your words! :D
- Stephanie
I totally understand what it feels like to be super shy...I still am. It's very difficult to get over, and it's esp. hard when people make you feel bad about it. Sometimes it feels like people just don't understand. Hearing that you were once shy gives me hope that maybe one day I can come out of my shell.
Thanks for your inspiring words Kandee!!
How are you single???
I see nothing wrong with you in that picture... Although I need the full body shot to really be able to tell. So email me a full body shot? :D
You're a cool chica. Stay that way!
Your nose is SO CUTE!
I always thought it was your best feature and I even thought it was 'redone'!!! Haha!
Round and so cute and it make you look young!
I think it is the cutest..
Funny how we perceive ourselves ain't it? :D
Have a great night Kandee! :)
I never comment on posts but I just wanted to let you know that you're truly an inspiration. You probably hear this a lot but it's true. I, like a lot of people have been battling with my self image and who I want to be. Each post you write encourages and motivates me more and more to take that one little step to reaching my goals and overcoming my shyness and fear of rejection. Thank you for being such an amazing and beautiful person inside and out! Also much love and blessings to you and your family!
I agree, thank you so much for putting that out there and helping girls feel better about themselves every day!!! You are amazing Kandee! What you said was so wonderful! *hugs*
~Cassidy Z.
Kandee, thanks for the encouraging words. I am working to encourage others as well. :o) You're great and I appreciate what you're doing!
I've been really hard on myself lately. You reminded me the hardships we go through only lead us to where we want to be. Thanks, Kandee! You really lifted my spirits.
More of the world needs to hear that.
I write for an online newspaper about fashion photography and am trying to send the same message.
Thank you :)

Kandee, this was an amazing blog!! This really made my day and I really needed to read this today.. it was so perfect! Thank you for inspiring us all. You are truly an amazing and positive person that I look up to!! Keep sending us amazing blogs like this, they are sooo helpful! You mean so much to me even though I've never been able to meet you! Thanks again and we love you!!! <3 Love Kimee
This really gives another sense to my day that is not as good as it should be...
Anyway, let me tell you that I would give anything to have your nose (I have problems with mine since I was a child and I should have surgery to fix it).
Thanks so much for your encouraging words, have you ever thought putting all the content of this blog in a book? I'm sure at least all of your fans would buy it!

Thanks Kandee,
I have woke up so much times telling myself I am not beautiful and my shape isn't good. I have learned to cope with that and be who I am. I am beautiful no matter what.
I am crying because of this. THANK YOU. I want to shout out loud that I AM A MAKE-UP ARTIST even when it is not my everyday job. Even not knowing when it will become my everyday job. Thanks a lot. Really. Greetings from Spain
Thank you for all this encourgaement Kandee! I'm going to write these out and put them on my mirror so I can remind myself those things! Definitely a struggle!
Thank you!!
I pray that God blesses you even more abundantly then He's used you to bless so many!!
Ok so that is funny that you say you dislike things about your nose because I have been jealous of your nose ever since I have started watching your videos! I have always wanted a small little nose like yours:) Love your site and love your videos, they make my day:)
Hallo Kandee,
and your nose is absolutely beautiful:)

Hi Kandee,
I never comment on blogs but I had to comment on yours. I accidently found your blog about 2 months ago through youtube and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your encouraging words and help. I think I have read every post and watched every video of yours. I hope to be as positive and happy as you. You truly are a great example and a breath of fresh air to a lot of us that are going through hards time or just simply having a bad day. I love the blogs you post like the one you posted today! I know your busy but keep them coming please. Love from all your grateful and loving fans that wouldnt change a thing about you!!!

Hi...
you konw what you have done for me today? You have made my day! And I love you for that! An remember to belive in yourselves too!
(I am very bad in English, but when I think I'm good, I'm good right? ^^,)
So thank you, and from this day on I will start live my life, because of you! So thanks again! <3 =D
I was having the worst morning, the kind that makes you want to crawl back in bed and give up for the day. But after reading this, I feel much better, and I'm going to tackle the things I need to do. Thanks, Kandee, I really needed this. xox <3
Thank you. Lovely picture of yourself. Nice nose too. ;-D Amazing skin.
Big hugs and even more love from me for you.

I know you don't have time to read all of the comments everyone has written you, but I want you to know that you are wonderful. You always leave me with a smile on my face, even when I think I'm having a not-so-good day. I hope that you can inspire yourself as well and as much as you have successfully inspired thousands of complete strangers. You're amazing, Kandee Johnson. I hope YOU know you are. <3
i found this in Audition by Michael Shurtleff
"There's only one person like you in the entire world, trust yourself to use that with truth and imagination."
fits right in with your post
have a day filled with smiles.
You are so right, i think people hear it so much from people but, they do not believe that they can do it like me. It is funny how i came across this blog tonight because i am trying to figure out what i want to go to college for, have oblivious reasons why i really want to go and that is because i owe it to my self and my family to better my self. I am just afraid to go and do something that i might now like but, reading your blog tonight has really helped me and encouraged me to do something. I am i very shy person myself and i hate that i am that way but, i dont want to know that people are thinking about me. I try to tell me self that it doesn't matter but words that people say can and are very hurtful. I have tried many times in my life to come out of my shell ( what my mom says )but i have been hurt with words to many times. I am so glad that you are willing to put your self out in the world on you tube none the less and let people know how you feel because there are many people like me in the world that would rather keep in every emotion inside and thinking about it all day everyday but never say anything because you don't want people to know that you are not perfect, while on the outside you crack a smile that doesn't feel right. So thank you so much for being your self your blogs and videos help me get threw the day.
I love this Kandee! xoxo Maxi
