Thank you all so much for every comment! I wish I could reply to every single on of you, but just know I'm reading and sending a little prayer for all your love and words of wisdom! Thank you for your unyielding support 💕
GIRL, I LOST MY FATHER ALSO AND MY MOM ALSO STRUGGLES W ADDICTION. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SUM HORRIBLE STUFF, having a miscarriage as well as so many others. I have twin teen boys and a younger son w Autism and I am a single mom. YOU R AMAZING, NEVER SETTLE, ALWAYS B U, AND I AM SO PROUD OF U. U R AMAZING, INSIDE AND OUT! And 1 of my fav. RU-vidrs!! With God, all things r possible!!
Thank you for sharing this with us Tasha. It takes a lot of courage to be completely open with others, and you definitely showed us your thoughts and feelings very personally. I wish I was one of your besties so I could tell you how amazing you are every day, you are seriously so thoughtful and genuine. So thank you. I love you and everything you've shared!
Tashapolis don’t worry about not liking kissing, I went through that, as have all of my friends who have had their first kisses 😂 It takes a while to get it right, but all of us have come to decide its pretty great 😂
What fallows are my experiences and oppinions , sorry for my bad english :) I can relate with you on many levels : I was obese , I lost my mother and went into debt , worked at life and I am in a much better place now . You can loose the weight if you work at it , I did , lost 56 kg in 6 months and keept it off , still didn't get over my mother's passing . It was very hard dating while obese , I had to be extremely charismatic to actually attract partners , and sadly I only like beautiful girls and never settle , in spite of that I experienced 3 fary tail relationships , they actually exist , you just have to put yourself out there , be lucky or blessed and do your best but never forget that " you can never make someone love you and you can never make yourself love someone " . I believe in God, don't really believe in some aspects of religion and in many passages of the bible , can undesrtand your approach to religion and support it (being spiritual betters all aspects of one's life ) , can't really support your view on sex tho (there is such a thing as being sexually incompatible with someone , and sadly it impacts ones relationship as badly as having different core values ) , can't really have a romantic relationship or even talk about romance without sex. Jobwise I am happy for you and wish you the best in all aspects of your life , be brave and never stop trying to get what you whant .
That's honestly the main problem with reading so much and consuming so many romcoms, it's not like real life which is so unfortunate! Loved this video and your honesty, it was so relatable. Also love YOU! 💕
Aw I loved this! Relationships are so scary and Romance is def dramatized in books. Romance is different for each person honestly. My husband is romantic in the way he taken care of our family, checking on me a ton and asking how I am and supporting me no matter what I do. He knows I love Romance a ton and he def tries! It’s all about finding someone who you can see yourself spending everyday with whether on adventures or just hanging out in the couch and having a family. You will find someone someday and they will love you for the amazing women you are!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I think it is okay to breakup with someone that you don’t connect with. You dated this person for almost 6 months and you weren’t feeling it and that is OKAY. You now know what it is you want. It was first relationship it didn’t have to be the only relationship. I love you so much Natasha!! ❤️
I totally understand! I'm 20, I've never kissed anyone, we have such a similar stories and honestly, you're so wise and I feel so much less alone now. You are just such an inspiration and I'm so happy for you and proud and this made me cry! I love you Natasha!!
@@genevieveking5078 uhm nope! Jesse and Emma from Emma Green (Emmareadsalot) dated for a while, let's be respectful, Natasha is sharing with us something very personal, stop trynna snoop and find out things she ommited from sharing
I am a Muslim and I connected with this video and the things you've gone through a lot. It's lovely and inspiring seeing people like you who celebrate their faith whilst also being relatable. I don't believe people need to be of the same faith to understand one another. Also, this video was exactly my kind of content! Chatty, calming and interesting. I can't give love and relationship advice because, girl, we are in the same boat! You are not alone! (I will defo be reading the comments for some tips) On a different note, what has it been like at your new job? How have you found adjusting to a new career and colleagues? I wish you the best of luck with everything! ♥️
I am 33 and just had my first kiss at 32. Relationships are so not like the books or movies, but I wish it was a little closer. lol What I would really love to hear from you is how you kept so strong in your faith after your dad passed away. I lost my dad last year and I guess I have been very angry and almost completely turned my back on my faith. It's hard to come back from that. It's hard to accept that the wonderful man I called dad is gone. I can't seem to find my footing in my own faith again.
I’ve watched you for years. YEARS. and this is my first comment- so proud of you for dating and keeping your Christian values. For publicly giving God the glory for your successes and being with you in your tragedies. What a breath of fresh air!! I hope you blow this world wide open with your outlook. God bless!
I'm an atheist but that doesn't change how I feel about your videos. Your one of my favorite RU-vidrs and you're such a kind person and whenever I'm watching your videos even if I'm having a bad day they always make me feel better. My two questions for your Q & A is is this your ultimate career goal or do you want to do something else in the future? Also is RU-vid still a job for you just not a full-time one?
Okay so I was in the same boat as you. I was 27 and had never been in a relationship. I'm a bigger girl so I always just figured guys didn't like me. And on the rare occasion that one did, I figured i should try to be into him even though i wasn't really, because he might be the only one. I kind of repeated this pattern for a while until I finally met someone who checked all the boxes for me. Also I'm glad you learned that romance in real life is nothing at all like books.. that's why they're a fun escape lol I definitely got caught up in that a lot (and still do sometimes....rhysand I'm looking at you), but it's important to remind yourself its fiction. Also....kissing is WAY better with someone you really really like and connect with haha
I initially wanted the tea on dating a famous youtuber, but now I love the tea on your new life in general, Natasha! I'm so happy for you and your new marketing assistant job! I'm also trying to get into the field; it's so creative and you have a lot of opportunities. It sucks that your first relationship didnt go out well, but it's ok, you know? It's ok, at least you've learned something from it and are not bitter. Your love for God shines through your videos, and again, I'm so happy for you!
Also being a youth leader is so rewarding! Over the years many things have changed, sometimes it's an uphill walk but the pros are absolutely worth every moment!
Honestly, this is my favourite video of your’s so far. It so refreshing to see people be real and deep, sharing their up’s and down’s with the world. I’ve been going through a bit of a rough time lately, and seeing this video has really helped me not to give up hope. I’ve also being struggling with church, faith, career/ job decisions, as well as relationships and when you talked about all of that, it made me feel not so alone; it made me feel like I had a friend who knew exactly what I was going through. Thank you for sharing all that you did. I’ll be praying for you! Never forget that you are loved!
giiiirl i feel you on this. almost every relationship ive been in has ended because i wasnt connecting, and i ended up hurting the other person (not intentionally of course) because they were more invested than i was, and idk i just get.... bored or uninterested, it's just so much easier for me to be alone and independent. there's comfort in being alone, especially when you're a book lover and avid movie/show binge watcher. you take comfort in the stories and the characters and you live vicariously through them. it's a great feeling and it almost beats reality. you're not alone!!
I honestly think it’s so brave of you to be able to talk so openly about a subject like this. I’m sure many people are in a similar situation but they don’t talk about that because the society have told us that you should have experienced certain situations at a certain age.
I love that you opened up your heart and shared your beliefs. It's very encouraging for me, especially the part in which you talked about saving yourself for the right person. I find that it can be awkward to talk about it with friends who don't really think the same way I do. Anyway, I appreciate you sharing this stuff! Keep going!
YOU INSPIRED ME TASHA 😭😭😭 i've watched your previous never been kissed video and now watching this made me tear up. 😥😥 You still inspire me and somehow I can relate to you, i've been stuck in a rut in life and feel like im drowning and lost but thank you for this video you encouraged me. So blessed to have youtubers like you with the same faith! ad astra per aspera and God bless you!!!
The part about drowning at the end is really resonating with me right now, so thank you for the reminder that I will get through it. I'm so proud of you. I tell you that and I tell others how proud I am of you and all you have overcome. You are incredible. I love you and I miss you too.
It's easy enough to work out if you go back and look through her instagram. I actually figured it at the time, just through a few little photos every now and then :)
i love you so much! i started tearing up watching this. i'm almost 27 and still haven't been kissed/ had a boyfriend. i get so much pressure from people about dating and it makes me feel so depressed. i don't really want to be in a relationship or date, i love being single and being able to go/do whatever i want. my best friend especially puts a lot of pressure on me to date because she has a boyfriend who's wonderful and she'll probably marry him. and i get depressed looking at their relationship and jealous because she's not really hanging out with me anymore. i put up all these walls though and just can't imagine letting another person get so close to me. its like society says if you don't have a bf/gf there is something wrong with you, you're considered a freak. i hate it so much. these personal videos you make really felt me and make me feel a little less alone. thank you
Love you so much Natasha - would LOVE to hear your salvation story!! Congrats on all your amazing successes- I know these blessings are just going to go exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think! God is so good. 🙏🏼❤️
Best wishes on your new job! It’s so inspiring to see someone who is a Christian like me sharing their story and struggles. It really makes me feel like I’m not alone in my own struggles. I’m also almost 30 now and have never been in a real relationship. It kind of makes me sad at times but I feel just like you that the most important thing is finding someone who you can connect with and share your life with, EVERY part of your life with and not just the parts that others are so used to seeing. Sending the best of wishes and love your way!
It's lovely hearing you talk about having faith! It's so true that everything falls into place exactly the way it should in all of our lives. I also found that this past year was one full of changes for me. Glad to hear things are going well for you!
Dated a guy for 4 months this year, it was the first consistent romantic relationship I ever had before. He was sweet but I wasn't particularly into it. I felt so guilty and it took me a while before I got the Courage to finally end things. Not only because I didn't want to hurt him, but because I was so terrified that no one would ever be that interested in me again. But I realized it was unfair to him and I sucked it up.
I had my first kiss 2 years ago at 21 and I also didn't like it. I felt kind of gross afterwards. But this year I had my second kiss (23) and that was MILES better.
you totally had me crying at one point. But WOW. I love this video. It is so crazy to look back and see even through all the heartbreak of this life, that heartbreak leads us to so much good. I loved hearing you talk about this. It's so great to hear your experiences! Natasha, you are GLOWING. You are so wonderful and such a great influence for younger girls! those youth group girls are so lucky. I did not know it until I was already writing this comment, but I totally needed hear this positivity. Always rooting for you!
This video is amazing! Your bravery is astounding. I was that person who settled for two years until I finally realized how terrible it was. Thankfully, I managed to meet the love of my life once I realized I wanted more from a relationship, and we got married today! There is someone out there for you who will love you for who you are. Congrats on the job and having everything fall into place with that!
It’s so refreshing to hear the positive changes in your life, and how you overcame the challenges. I’m also going through something that’s so hard, and I’m praying for the day that I’ll be able to overcome it too. Have a great day ahead! ❤️
Girl we love you no matter what. I’m so glad that someone at least saw the amazingness thar you are. And I’m sorry it didn’t work out but you know yourself ;)
Natasha you should be so amazingly proud of yourself, youth group leader, a new job and dealing with life struggles and you still managed to keep your head high and fully trust God (which is easier said than done) You. Are. So. Strong. 💜
So proud of you and all of your growth this year! I got so excited last week because your Sally video popped up on fb for me sooo many times. Things may get difficult, but everything is in His time. You've got this!
Also so proud of you for telling the truth about not connecting with someone. I’ve ended two relationships from it and telling the truth is the best thing you can do. It will only help you and letting the other person go.
Love this video! I completely relate to the relationship portion of the video. I think fiction kind of gives us a misperception of what a realistic healthy relationship looks like. When I had my first kiss I was so disappointed because it was absolutely nothing like I read/expected. But from personal experience, girl let me tell you that IT GETS BETTER...with the right person. I too am a Christian, am 23, and am saving myself for marriage, so I relate to you so hard lol. I know that it's not the most popular route to go, but it is so nice to see a girl like me, to know that I'm not alone. As for your work/new transitions in life, I too am starting a full-time job and my master's degree tomorrow. I can only credit the favor of God that I've been given these opportunities. Just want you to know that I'm rooting for you and do what you need to do to live the most fulfilled life you can! You're going to be an amazing youth leader, they are so incredibly lucky to have you. 💕
You're definitely not alone girl! I've had to end some relationships just because I can't connect with someone and it feels definitely awful, but sometimes it's for the best, not only for you, but for the person who you can't connect with. It's better to be honest when it comes to that :)
I'd love to hear your salvation story! I'm a youth group leader as well and it has really challenged my own faith in the best ways. I've been a leader for 3 years now.
Wow Natasha, been watching you for a long time and I feel like this is the first time that I am really getting to know you. You are a very strong woman and I am excited to see all of the things you accomplish in the next few years. I hope that you do more of these videos where you share more about yourself. I hope you know you don’t always have to be happy and throw on a smile in all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us. I wish we could be friends! I wish so badly I had friends I could talk about life with and cry with. Anyway, I’m so happy and proud of you! You’re doing amazing.
Tasha, I am SO proud of you. SO proud. You honestly are SUCH a beautiful woman. Not just because of your gorgeous skin, hair, and smile - I'm talking about your soul. I've always related to you because I've also had a really really rough life. Most people don't realize it because I rarely talk about it but I endured a lot of death, abuse, and pain and yet I am somehow -still here. And not only here - but grateful. You are the same way. I am so proud of you for always rolling with the punches. You always figure out how to survive and turn everything into a positive. You learn from your life instead of feeling like you have to be a victim to it all. A lot of people don't do that and a lot of people don't even know HOW to not do that. And yet, you are doing it every day. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am so happy that you took time to talk to us. I hate that RU-vid has been hiding everyone's videos because I barely see my favorite people either now. It's sad because I want to keep up but YT won't even show me the videos I WANT to see. It's horrible. I hope things get fixed but until then....I'll follow you on IG and FB as well! Also, I LOVE that you and Heather are BFFs.
I want to give you a giant hug! You are strong and brave to share everything. Happy new job time! That sounds kind of perfect given you’re love for fashion.
So grateful that you're willing to share your stories and experiences with us. I think you help people more than you know and hopefully we as a community can provide at least some support in return!
God is opening doors for u. I will be praying for u. I know what it's like to go through a bombardment of stuff everyday. We and others r survivors through Christ. ☺💜
I never react to videos. But wow this was one of the most honest and truthfull videos i’ve watched in a long long long time. I’ve been watching you for 3 or 4 years and this was like an end to an era. Youre up for great things and please continue to grow, eventhough that means to take a break from youtube. ThankYouForSharing
I’ve never commented on a RU-vid video in my entire life but after watching this video I would like to say thank you. I have had a really rough 2018 and 2019 is not starting off great which has left me so depressed but seeing that I’m not alone in my struggles has made me feel a lot better. I am truly inspired by your determination and strength, you are an amazing role model. After watching this video I started facing the conflicts in my life and just taking a deep breath knowing that the good times are coming.
I’m not surprised at all that you got that job! It sounds perfect for you! You seemed surprised that you got it without having gone to college, but you have tons of experience and valuable skills in the field. I hope you know that you’re not less than for not having gone to college
I’m so excited for you, Natasha! As someone who is also a devout Christian, I love these sit down videos and hearing about challenges in your life and how God has kept you afloat. I would absolutely LOVE to hear your full testimony. You’re already so amazing and wonderful. Keep going, darling. ❤️
Tasha, having you as a woman of faith in my life during my freshman & sophomore years of high school was so helpful and influential to my faith and to my personality. I am so happy that you will be able to touch all these girl’s lives in the way you’ve touched mine. ❤️
That decision was brave. You are being honest with yourself and that takes a lot of courage and self confidence. I really liked this video. Continue to be real with yourself.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. RU-vid life can seem so glamorous to a person looking in, and we often quickly forget that RU-vidrs are humans just like us, going through their own struggles and trying to live life the best that they can. I'm truly sorry for your loss, and you're such a great daughter to be taking care of your mom, especially in a society where people often sign off responsibility for their family members (those who experience having family members with illnesses of any kind) to other people or perhaps don't care at all. Continue to do what you do, as only you can do it best :)
Thanks for your honesty, from our side (as fans) all we get to see is the glamour part of RU-vid or Instagram and it sometimes sets unrealistic expectations of what our lives should be like. So it's refreshing to see a "real" video for once that we can relate to.
Kissing is incredible but sometimes the build-up can be the most intense part. Once you find someone you are super passionate about, it's incredible. I'm sorry you didn't like it at first, but it may be his fault and not yours xoxo
You are definitely not alone. When I broke up with my last boyfriend I struggled with finding a reason why other than he wanted to be serious with me and I just wasn’t connecting with him on that level, and it’s terrifying because you don’t want to hurt that person, but you also have to do what’s best for you x
Thank you so much for sharing your struggles and triumphs with us. I lost my mom a few weeks ago and the last verse she shared with me was “Yet I am always with you; you hold me by your right hand” (Psalms 73:23). Life’s been really tough lately but I hold on to the promise that god is here (and I’d also like to think my Mom’s still beside me cheering me on). Congrats on your position as a youth group leader!! I’d love to hear more about your faith and life as a youth group leader. :)
can you add how to use social media to your advantage towards a corporate job in your Q&A please? So glad you've found happiness and stability in your life, and well done on the job offers! Proud of you x
I really loved this video. It is awesome hearing just a simple honest sit down video. I would definitely like to see a video get out out of your salvation story! When you first said that you can look back on your life and see that there was a purpose to things happening I got goosebumps haha. I am pretty sure that was how you phrased things but I'm not absolutely sure. :p . So yeah, thanks for putting this video up! :)
This is so inspirational Natasha! At 22, I’ve had a lot of the same feelings you’ve had about where my life is going to go, with both jobs and relationships. This video has given me hope that great things are on the horizon. You are such a warrior. ❤️
You’re such a GOOD person, like really I can’t even find a better word I’m sorry, I admire you so much!!! I wish you the bestest future girl you deserve the world ♥️♥️♥️
I loved the last one of these you made. I'm very happy for you and I hope the coming years are even better and full of opportunities for you. You deserve all the best things
This was super relatable! I'm 23 and dated for the first time this year as well. I had the exact same thing happen where I had to breakup with a great guy because I didn't feel a connection. Just know it's okay to breakup because you're not feeling it. It doesn't make you a bad person!
Awsome video, it was very cool of you to put all those things out about whats going on with you. Sounds like your life is really turning out for the better for you and thats so Awsome! I can relate with the family issues, my father and mother are both addicts as well. Just in hang there and do whats best for you!
21:18-21:34 had me tearing up... Life hasn't been easy the last few years for my family and I, and it was something I needed to hear. So thank you. I'm sorry for all the stress and craziness you've been dealing with, but I'm so glad things seem to be falling into place for you. I love your videos and hope you'll continue to make them
Because of Faith I know something beautiful is always ahead. I'm so excited Natasha for all the good happenings transforming your life! . . . Btw... Where did you get that sweater!?
Natasha this video was so calming and relatable and I loved every second. You seem so humbled and wiser from your relationship experience and it really gives me hope that it will happen for me as well. I am 22 and in the same boat with no experience and want to be smart when having a relationship. You are seriously an inspiration and I am so happy that you are experiencing joy through your work and youth group! Thank you for being honest about the good and the bad of your life. You have a good heart and mind and I would be honored to watch a video about your salvation. So much love and support!
I'm so glad you have figures out what you want to do and where you want to be in life. I feel like I'm struggling a bit but my boyfriend has been my rock throughout it all and you sharing what you have gone though helps me a lot. I feel less lonely because I know I'm not the only one
I felt this on a personal level. Thank you Natasha for sharing your truth, it makes us who are similar to you feel better about what we are going through!❤️
I’m so proud of you Natasha. I’m so happy that you are figuring out what you want and who you want to be:) I’m so happy that I found your channel and getting to watch you! I’m so proud that you pull closer to God even when you feel alone and don’t know what to do:) I’m very sorry for your loss as well. I can’t even tell you how much I understand what you are going through. Keep smiling and keep your head held high:)
You are absolutely incredible. I feel so inspired by you and your stories and so thankful to have a role model that is so real, confident, and honest. I’m so so proud of you. Also, I think it is so cool that you are working in marketing! That’s what I currently plan on studying in college actually! My plan is to major in marketing/management entertainment or business. I’m so excited for you and all the cool things coming your way. And I have a question! What are your tips for potentially starting out on social media, especially if you don’t think you have time for it? Always sending lots of love your way
Natasha, you are so genuine and I'm so happy you've had so many great opportunities this year ❤️ I hope you continue to find happiness and growth in everything that you do.
I'm so excited for you Tasha. Congrats on your job, it sounds so amazing and I have never done anything like that but I am still super jealous ahahah. Wishing you the best of luck and can't wait to see you continue to grow and let us in on your channel!!
I freaked when I saw you pop up on my feed in Disney Style, that was amazing! Thank you for being so honest and sharing all this- I'd love to hear your salvation story! Praying over you and the girls you're leading 💕
There's a roald Dahl quote about beauty shining out of your eyes can't remember the exact quote but I think of it every time I watch one of your videos. Such a lovely soul you have I hope you continue RU-vid
