It might sound silly, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear you say, "I love you very much" to yourself. I think it's easy to be critical of the way we were when we were young, or to cringe at all the silly decisions and mistakes we made, but it's another entirely to look at that young person with a lot of love. Anyway, you are immensely talented, and very kind to have shared this with all of us. Thanks!
This is mirrored. Her adorable smirk/smile is on the other side, and so are her piercings. But this is still such an inspirational video. I'm so jealous of Kirstie's sisters for having this gorgeous, inspirational girl for a big sister. I mean, we all see her like a big sister, but to actually have her as one?
I hope I really do speak for this entire fandom with this : Kirstie...........all I can say is................I love the "little beautiful you" for everything that you are and everything that you do - you ARE a role model and a true inspiration THANK YOU
She's just as lovely in person, perhaps more so. Kind, generous, sweet, genuine. And oh so talented! We enjoyed a little private backstage song with the gang and it's so amazing to hear music that's not fake/autotuned. The sense I had was that the microphones, speakers, and other electronics simply aren't good enough to capture the purity of their voices.
So is this a letter she wrote to herself sone time ago, or is this a letter she wrote just now? Anyways, I loved it - it was absolutely beautiful and so authentic. Your voice is so different when you speak calmly than to when you speak in interviews! So pretty :)
It's so crazy to me that I watched this just short of a year ago and it didn't really mean all that much to me, but now I'm rewatching it and it made me tear up. Idk how to describe it... I love her so much. I couldn't ask for a better role model 😍😭
Kirstie your probably not going to see this comment but you are such a beautiful human being and this dear me video was especially touching, Thank you for striving to follow your passion and empowering all your fans along the way, I think all of us can agree when I say your quirky smile and melodious voice has affected us in a million different ways. Thank you ,and the rest of the gang, for just doing you :)
This was so inspirational... I want to do this too, but I'm still that #DearMe . Desperately wanting to be "someone", Trying to be the best of myself, Aching to be "perfect", Fighting to achieve my dreams... I hope that the future me will look back on this day, And laugh freely...Because my dreams have become reality.
ThatOneCrazy Fangirl I haven't become the "Me" to talk to my past yet, though I do want to change that I used to hate things in the past, and to be biased about some stuff. I hope never to hate anything ever again. :)
Trying to be "someone" won't get you anywhere except frustrated. Try to do something that makes a difference to someone's life, something worth remembering. That's success. That's as close to perfection as a human can get in this life. Blessings on you and your life! You never know what's waiting for you out there
Kirstin, thank you for this and for being the role model so many kids need to listen to, but probably won't. I have been crying, sobbing, crying since watching this since you posted. I am old enough to be mom, but your letter reminded me why I pulled through some of the more difficult times in my life and will continue to strive to do so. I honestly can't thank you enough. ❤
Crying so many tears. I needed to hear this for myself. Thank you Kirstie for everything that you do and who you are and what you stand for. I love you.
I love that Kirstie could stand out as an individual in PTX by doing this Dear Me video. This was so sweet and touching and something only she could do in the whole group as she's the only girl. (Not that guys can't do this but this trend has been for International Women's Day) Love you Kirstie x
I've loved watching kirstie grow as such an incredible individual. on ptx's early days she always seemed to keep to herself and not really enjoy the spotlight. but in the past year she seems to have grown so much, professionally and personally. keep on rocking kirstie! and thanks for the inspiring words.
OMG IM CRYING! Dear Kirstie, You'll probably never see this, but you're the most inspirational person I've ever seen. You actually made me cry! I love you so much, and you've inspired me to try out for bigger parts, more fun parts, and even more. Stay who you are and keep making people happy! -Kenzie
Kirstie, as the only female in Pentatonix, I'm sure many girls turn to you for inspiration. You're doing a fabulous job in being a great role model for your female fans. Thank you for being there for us girls and we love you :)
She looks so much like Elsa, and she sounds so deep and truthful, it's too much. Kirstin, you're so gorgeous and you have an amazing personality. We can't get enough of you, and even though this is a reflection on your past, we love you just fine in the present.
Kirstie is truly a great role model! I love how down to earth she is! Every time she makes me smile! Thank you Kirstie for letting people Know that it's okay to love themselves and let them know it's okay to be themselves! I hope Kirstie is proud that she can make so many people smile:)
Why was I stupid enough to not realise that PTXVlog existed?!? And why have I JUST watched this when it came out ages ago !?!? Nevertheless, Kirstie you are amazing! I might make a #DearMe video next month for my birthday.. Thank you for being such an inspiration💕💕
Kirstie, you are amazing for making this video and always inspiring and influencing so many young girls who look up to you in a positive way. Thanks for reminding us girls that always try to diminish themselves to accommodate others, to have the courage to love themselves and take charge of their own lives.
Kirstin is sooooo Inspirational, andd she is amazing she is underrated, peolple should respecked inclused her in cause she is a strong beutifull intelligence woman who needs to be more apreceated She is my idol ❤❤👍👍
She really is beautiful. Reminds me of Shania Twain. I find when people are beautiful on the inside it translates to a kind of ethereal glow on the outside. She has that glow. I hope she keeps it. Peace.
Omg, Kirstie! Thank you soo much for making this... When I listened to your letter I reconized so so so many things you talked about (let's just say everything) and you telling this to your younger self and all the people who watch this is truly amazing! I will watch it more often because I think I will need this to help me be comfortable with who I am and what I believe in.. Seriously thank you so so so much! I cannot wait till we meet on the meet and greet 28th of April
Even though you wrote this letter to your younger self, it is really giving me the inspiration and it's that little push I need to keep me going. Kirtstie, thank you so much for everything you have done to help me get through this rough patch in my life. Keep sl*ying the world and being you because you're amazing!
Honestly Kirstie you are my idol, I saw you guys in Orlando 2019 row 117 and you came down under my seats and I called out your name and you and Scott waved at me, you make people so happy, and you make a difference in peoples life, you are truly such a amazing row model for everyone 💖💖💖💖love you Kirstie the Pentatonix concert was and always will be the best night of my life and I’m determined to meet my idols one day! You guys!💖💖💖💖
jesus christ kirstie this made me cry its amazing :( i love how you've become, you're such a role model for me and i know i'm gonna be looking at this video often when i need advise :) i love you
Honestly, the most touching and inspirational video I've ever watched. Thank you Kirstie, you definitely inspired me. Keep doing what your doing, and being fabulous. Love you, have a great day!
KT you blow my mind- so wide open and honest choosing to put this out....I cried. You were raised by a single mom who obviously did well- just look at "beautiful little you"! I'm a single dad of a difficult 8yr old boy- raising him all alone- it's been soul-tearingly hard so far, I don't know how...and if...we will make it. That's one of many reasons you shine for me- your talent and wholeness give me hope. I'm a multi-instrument analyzer/savante type musician- painfully silent, not playing/singing presently coz of "life". (omg eyes tearing up in Starbucks) My kid liked your words. We are going to sit down together and listen again, maybe the format will help. We are Pentaholics and huge TeamKirstie fans... During the Sing Off you surprised me into shyness by answering me many times when I was defending/supporting your performances (on Mr.Duckbears RU-vid)...I was then..and am moreso now...in awe of your talent- I knew you would become the strong, confident woman we see now. *I am so proud of you.* ~Bud (maukabud66, 2011)
I know I can never understand your life as deeply as I can mine, but this video impacted me in a wonderful way. Thank you for making it. You are amazing!!
I feel like this is a letter to future me... I'm only just now starting high school (I'm 4 weeks in) and everything she says, especially at the beginning when she talks about wanting to be a singer, or an actress, applies to me. I love you Kirstie
#Dear Kirstin, you are so cool and so inspirational to many young teens and other young adults such as yourself. Keep doing you, you are so uniquely genuine and lovely, inside and out.
This really touched my heart. I feel like I've been stressing myself out lately and overthinking and it's like you were speaking to me, and you calmed me down. You are a wonderful role model... truly beautiful, inside and out. ♡♥♡
I cannot even process how helpful this was to me and how great you said these important things... Honestly, I don't even know if my words are coming out right but this is just perfect. Thank you so much, Kirstie
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.WHEN PEOPLES ARE ARGUING ME I REMEBER YOU AMD YOU ARE MY 'IDOL'. I SAID IDOL ,ROLE MODEL,WHATEVER.YOU ARE THIS.I AM SO THANKFUL BECAUSE I MET YOU KIRSTIN TAYLOR MALDANADO.THANKS A LOT.THANKS A LOT TO PTX.I LOVE YOU GUYS!
