Life Update - Where have I been? Am I still making videos? 

Okay your dog jumping up when you started crying is one of the cutest things I’ve seen omg

Two years later, you’re the happiest you’ve ever been. I’ve been following you since your green background days Kayley and I’m soo happy for you

Letting go of the idea of what you thought your life was going to be like is the hardest part of divorce. You mourn the separation of your partner but letting go of your dreams of your future is devastating in my opinion. Especially since it's part of us even before we meet the "one". It doesn't feel like it now but at the end of this chapter of your life you are going to love the women you will become even more so than before. Sending you a giant hug.

I have never commented on your channel but have followed it for many years. You are not a failure. Life takes so many twists and turns that you can never be prepared for what is ahead. I remember when I watched How I Met You Mother, Barney had a quote about marriage that stuck with me.... "This isn't a failed marriage: it was a very successful marriage that only lasted three years." The three years part was for the purpose of the show but you can apply your marriage years to it. My point is you are not a failure.

You getting a divorce in no way makes a bad person, bad role model etc. You respecting you ex side of the story not dragging anyone down that makes you a good role model. It is normal to feel that sense of failure you are losing something you loved and worked on, but it does not mean you are one or are defined by this. I hope you feel better soon, but it takes time so patience is key.

I've been here since the green background and I will stay for as long as this channel exists. I'm sending you all my love and support and positive vibes!

watching this after her coming out video hits so different I'm so happy Kayley got to grow and find herself, she deserves nothing but the best

Kayley, like many others have said, you’re not being a bad role model by getting divorced, you’re being an AMAZING role model by respecting someone you’re no longer with and not dragging him through the mud. Also, a great book to read to deal while in a tough situation is “It’s not supposed to be this way” by Lysa TerKeurst. Love you and your channel!

I have followed you since I was 13, and here I am looking at my role model and realizing that it’s okay to not be perfect. I am a older sister to a younger brother and two younger sisters and I’ve always strived to be perfect and happy. you have taught me how to braid and in return I’ve taught my sisters. you are an inspiration to me, I always wait for a new video and this one truly tops them all. keep your head up high and keep pushing because girl you are amazing 💖

OOOOMG I melt at your dog's reaction to your emotions. Dogs are seriously the best!!!! I wish you true happiness, Kayley.

Beyond being curious to what happened to you, I think everyone were more concerned about your well-being and safety (though I did notice you were still active on Twitter, so that was a good sign). I am so glad you decided to open up with us even though you don't have to! I recently went through a breakup which was hard, and I'm sure you've had it harder, but I can at least somewhat understand/relate to what you're going through! It took me a few weeks to function properly, and 3 months later I am only still starting to try and get my life together. So, take your time and please take care of yourself! Above all, welcome back! We missed you and we will always love and support what you do ❤️

This is the first time that I have ever commented. On anyone’s video. But this spoke to me on such a personal level that I had to say something. I split with my husband of 13 years in October. I cried every day for weeks after I made the decision to leave him and move my son and I in with my mom. Divorce is very much like a death and you have to give yourself time and permit to grieve. I so empathize with everything you said here. I felt like a failure and that I was going to end up screwing up my son. But it gets better. I am happier now than I have been in years and I know you will get there too. Your channel was the first channel I subscribed to on RU-vid 8 years ago. I have loved your content since then, even when I cut my hair off and couldn’t do most of the styles in your tutorials. I still loves watching them because of your genuine joy in doing what you love. Keep it up, girl!

The way your dog comforted you when you started crying 😭...he truly loves you! Wishing you much happiness in the future

And 2 years later you’re finally at peace with yourself 🥺🤩

Literally JUST thought of you, you are deeply missed! Please don't lose sight of the value you bring to RU-vid! We love you, sis. 💖

just came back to this after today's video and can i just say congratulations for getting out of your previous situation and finding one that's so much healthier and kinder to you. 😭💕

Love the Support your dog gives you and you can be sure that your viewers will support you too 😘😍

Girl you had me in tears. I just felt all your emotions during that video and I hope you know I think you are incredibly brave for coming here and opening up. Giving us a piece of your heart and just being so vulnerable. You’re a light in this world and I’m so sorry to hear about your split but you’re gonna get through it and come out the other side so much stronger. I love you. Keep your head up, we are all cheering for you!

No judgment at all sweet lady! This must be so hard for you! So sorry for your pain. 💛 Praying for your comfort and healing dear lady. There is such FREEDOM in realizing we do not have to be perfect. I hate the pain that you have had to go through, but I deeply appreciate thIs Video and YOU!

Kayley.. here comes big sister talk. I'm older so that works. I hope you'll read this. You don't have to be perfect, life isn't perfect. Letting go of the plan that you had for your own life is the HARDEST thing! It feels like disappointing your child self. I've been there, I am there. My concrete plan was to be a missionary with a husband and 4 kids. Now I'm in a gay marriage and it couldn't be more different. But that's OKAY! You'll grow SO MUCH from that. To see that you're not perfect and that life isn't. It's actually so librating! And exiting too! Just live one day at a time!! Be yourself and don't judge yourself for being human and vulnerable!!!! I'm so proud of you for the way you made this video, not throwing shade and just being such a kind human! You are brave and strong! And amazing the way you are!! Don't let yourself tell you otherwise! You'll come out sronger, just take my word for it

KAYLEY my heart. We have missed you so much and I am so glad you're back on your own terms! I also got divorced in the last year (after having gotten married around the same time as you) and moved back across the country closer to my family. (twinsies) Every situation is different, but I definitely understand the difficulty of having to explain when there was no clickbait ~event~ that signaled the end. You should be so proud of yourself for making the right decision for both of you, and you should be extra proud of yourself for having the courage to open up to us. I can't imagine what it's like having these fans who feel like we know you and definitely love you, but you don't know us as individuals. That's a scary crowd to be vulnerable in front of! You are amazing and strong. Keep taking care of yourself. We're not going anywhere! Also PS I am so happy you have Pippin and your sister. You deserve all the support you get and more!

Rewatching this after the engagement video because I remember my heart breaking when you first posted it - as someone who has learned so much from you to the point where actually caring for my hair and feeling pretty helped my mental health and my social anxiety. And now knowing that two years from when this video was posted you finally found happiness and love and a relationship that makes you feel good and appreciated? It's a real testament to 'It does get better'. Also your lil pup continues to be the most emotionally intelligent dog I've ever seen!

I went through a really really horrible divorce. It gets better. I at first hated the fact that it happened. But staying in a marriage that shouldn't be would be the true failure. And now I'm married to an amazing man and I am so glad. Don't be so hard on yourself. 💖💖💖

Your dog is precious! Literally just knows that you need comforting at that time😭😭😍

Oh, Kayley. 😢 I have watched every video of yours since the green sheet days. I went through a divorce about 3 years ago and it was so, so hard. I lost so much hope. But it got better. I grieved and healed and met the man of my dreams and we just got married and we are SO better matched than my ex and I were. You are a passionate, beautiful, successful woman and you WILL find love again. Divorce is not failure. It is learning and growing. It is going to be okay, sweetheart. 💕

I've been following you for ever, you taught me to braid my hair all those years ago 🤭 I hope you overcome this hard chapter, you are so great and full of light, keep your head high!!!

Oh, girl. I noticed that you weren't wearing your ring but I didn't want to push the subject. *hugs* You are such a big role model to me. That hasn't changed a bit. You did the right thing by respecting his privacy. You're not a failure! I miss you and I hope you will feel better soon! I really hope to meet you one day

I've honestly been thinking about you for the past couple of days. You were one if my first discoveries on RU-vid back when you had the green background. I'm sorry this is happening to you and I'm sending love and positive energy your way. Just remember that you're exactly where you're supposed to be even if it's not where you want to be and that's okay. You're loved and not alone 💛💛💛

I don't know even how to start... I cried with you the whole video - not because i'm sad, but because i'm so, so, so proud...! I don't know you, but for some reason I really love you in a level that see you hurt makes me wanna go there and feed you with love... And ice cream! These moments in life make us grow, and i have to believe that is for the better, as I know what is like to be depressed, to be hopeless, to struggle to get out of bed, have to come back to the family nest and re-build the life from scratch. It took courage to put this video out here, we can see it, and don't worry about us, we are loyal, and you deserve the loyalty for being this amazing beam of light in the world. When I am down, few things put me back on my feet like your videos, how long and I'll wait as you rise again, supporting you in everything. By the way, I am a child of divorce, and like with many friends of mine, the rupture made both mom and dad to flourish into happier and better people. Oh, and I loved your ideas for the channel, can't wait to watch!

From one recovering perfectionist to another... the most liberating thing I've experienced in my 28 years was loving myself enough to unlearn the BS myth that perfectionist exist and see it for what it is: an unending trap that sets us up to be chronically dissatisfied with yourself, and be stuck in a place of "never enough". You DO deserve support. Perfection isn't human (and also pretty boring, haha); who you are in this video is HUMAN and beautiful, and so much more relatable. We think the armour of perfection protects us, when it really weighs us down, down, down. We're here as digital sisters to help each other learn all the way we will never be unloveable. Now as Meryl Streep once said, "Take your broken heart, and turn it into art". Don't doubt if its good enough. It is.

When I saw the thumbnail I knew you were going to announce a divorce. I saw myself on that bed. I'm not divorced but I went through a terrible breakup. You are an amazing person and a divorce doesn't define you. You are still a role model for so many girls. And now even more, for standing up for yourself and doing what's best for you. Be strong, the pain will pass. Looking forward to new videos ❤️

Hey Kayley! I first came across your videos when I was in middle school. I really wanted a French braid but didn't know how to make one and my mom was too busy to do one for me. I decided to take it to RU-vid and found your channel. I absolutely loved watching your videos when I was in school and yours was one of the very first channels I ever subscribed to. And I went from zero knowledge about hairstyles to the girl in class everyone asks to do their fancy hairstyles for. I can't tell you how many times I was told that I should open a hair salon when I grew up (I didn't, I went on to study medicine but I hope that's a testament to the skills I acquired watching your videos) I haven't watched a lot of hair videos since school to be honest, but I just came across this and I thought I should write something. It really saddens me to see you cry. So I suppose I'm writing all this (rambling, really) to let you know how absolutely amazing your presence in my life was. I hope you're feeling much much better now, and if not that you will soon! Lots of love!

Sending much love. As the oldest sister of four girls I have deep sympathy for the feelings of being a good big sister, but you are one. You help me with my hair, you're super kind, respectful to all, and full of the character that makes you a good role model. I know it's hard when life shakes us up hard, but please know the best parts shine through, and imperfections are something we all share too. Much much love!

3:39 "My entire life I've been a by the book, goody two shoes, do everything perfect, color inside every line, follow every rule kind of girl... I could have written my life 500 times and I would have never written it this way." Love this quote... completely relatable as hard as this time was for you, thank you for sharing. You are helping so many of us

Dogs are the cutest. As soon as you started sobbing Pepper seems so concerned. I lowkey want to adopt him ❤

Kayley, don't apologize for what has happened or for taking time to heal. Your true fans/ friends will remain true... views and followers come and go... you need to take care of yourself and be healed. 💕

Nothing can keep a good channel down! We will always love your channel. We love your videos whenever we can get them thank you for all the videos you’ve given us already!

Man, it must have been tough. I’m glad you took the time off to recenter yourself after all you’ve been through. I will admit I was like “hmm … it’s been a while. I hope everything is okay.” Something tells me you wouldn’t want to do this unless you had to. I’m sorry to hear things didn’t work out and in some cases, divorce is a solution. I know you tried and I know it’s not ideal but it may be best for both of you to be better people apart then together. I thought it was very professional when you decided not to go into the details and truly appreciate it. It must have taken a lot of courage and inner strength to come to this conclusion and then to go back to doing what you love. My heart goes out to you and I look forward to your next video when you’re ready.

Kayley, Kayley, Kayley, Kayley! I'm middle-aged and one thing I have learned is life rarely ever works out the way you think it will or should. Right now I'm dealing with my mother having dementia and I never imagined she would because no one else in her family had it, that I'm aware of. I never married or had children. I don't have a career or any savings because life keeps throwing curveballs at me. I've learned to see it all as an adventure and to be flexible with my plans/goals. I've also learned that there is something good in each difficulty and that the quality of my life depends on focusing on the good rather than the bad. I know how you feel about hating to make mistakes because I've always been that way, but guess what? Making mistakes is inevitable. So, embrace it all and be kind to yourself. God loves you more than you know regardless of what happens in your life.

Also, being real and showing vulnerability is the bravest thing you could possibly do, and so powerful. I think just posting this video alone makes you a fantastic role model to anyone scared to deal with darkness. Your strength is inspiring 🦋

I never comment on videos, but I feel it's time to make an exception. I've been watching your videos for the past 7 years. I started when I was in the middle of a depression, and learning how to have fun and be creative with my braiding really helped me focus on something else. You came across as a such a lovely person and you almost felt like a friend. I especially appreciated when we got to see a glimpse of you life, like when you decided to go in to cosmetology school, got married, moved, told us about your depression, and now this. There isn't such a thing as a "perfect" life, and I think you're incredibly brave for sharing your story and I think that is a big part of why I've almost consider you as a friend for so long. I sure I'm not talking just for me when I'm saying, don't be scared of being yourself in front of the camera! I'm really looking forward to watch your videos, just make sure you don't get too stressed about it. We can wait if you're not feeling well! Lots of love from Sweden

You deserve support :) I wish you all the best! You don't have to be perfect, no-one is!

Meh, my sister has been divorced 4 times. I’ve learned more about marriage from her than my siblings who haven’t divorced. It’s not being a bad role model, a bad role model stays in a bad marriage. Take time, lick your wounds and you’ll get there when you get there. ❤️

I found your channel about three or four years ago and I was in the deepest point of my depression after my dad died. It was a very rough moment, hard to wake up and do things and found no reason to take care of myself. Finding your channel gave me motivation and a reason to try new things because I always loved my hair so through your tutorials I started to remember how much I loved styling. At first, I was only watching your videos, then started trying the styles (and failing hehe), kept going, bought a curling wand, bought an iron, sooo many bobby pins and finally, after months of feeling terrible I started to look at myself, feel pretty and capable of doing something well, like I actually liked myself a bit again and at that moment that was HUGE. So I am forever grateful to you and your channel. We all go through painful moments in life, moments when we fall and find it harder to stand and that's ok. It doesn't make us weak, just reminds us we are humans facing life and that is never easy. You are not alone and again, thank you forever for being here and sharing yourself with all of us. :)

Omg i just want to hug her trough the screan this is so heart breaking 😔😭💔

No one is perfect and I don't think anyone expects you to be. To be honest, I really love the bloopers at the end of your videos. And what a sweet puppy. And what a good sister you have too. Sending you love during this time of transition.

I really appreciate the “transparant” you and am looking forward to the wednesday video’s. Please dont try to be perfect and please take enough time to heal! As we say in Dutch: sterkte! (Translates as wishing you strength/support)

After such a huge life change, a recovery period is definitely much needed, and with all the hard work you put into building this channel, was a well deserved break. Your videos always give me joy and inspire me to try new things with my hair, and it's because of you that I can do some really beautiful hairstyles that give me confidence. I'm so glad you're back, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

So, i've watched your videos since the forrest green backdrop you had.. :D and did see you get engaged and then get married...then move to LA.. Yes, been following for years.. :) and when you posted on IG yesterday that a "life update" video will go up tomorrow... i just knew.... It is indeed a devastating thing..divorce, i mean... unfortunately, i went through a divorce too and know all to well how you feel.. :(( When you said that you "could've written your life 500 times and would've never written it this way" i burst into tears... It just hit home so hard for me... Anyway, it's been years for me now.. and i'm ok for the most part.. it's just seeing videos like this really brings back the emotions so hard, because i can actually relate... Kayley, i wish you a speedy recovery. You did the right thing moving back closer to home - i did the same and it helped a lot! Sending big, bear hugs your way. You're not alone.

When you started to cry and Your dog looked up at you like that….. omg

I also divorced young, and I identified with so much of what you said -- Being a perfectionist, everything "by the book", never in my life imagining something like that would happen to me, and consequently feeling like a failure on so many levels. But what I can tell you is that it is so hard and will be painful for a long time, but it DOES get better, you WILL heal, and you are NOT a failure. This doesn't define you even if it feels like it right now. Praying for comfort for you during this time ❤️

Pippin is such a good pupper. You have been through it my girl. It’s okay to not be okay sometimes. You are such a sunshine filled, beautiful person and you have changed everything about how I do my hair for the better. I lost more than half of my hair due to a medication and since then have struggled to feel alright about my hair but a lot of your videos have helped me cope with that and love my hair again. You are so pure and sweet and that is so hard to come by on RU-vid, and honestly the internet in general. There is very little you could do that would make us love you any less. I’m glad you are healing and I’m happy to see that you are being loved and taken care of by your family and your excellent pupper. Love.

Awww, your dog is so sweet & knew right away you needed support! It is hard but you are a woman & stronger than you know! This moment will pass and it will get easier every day. 💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻❤️🙏🏻

Take your time! We’ll always be here for you💕

You know I watched Captain Marvel yesterday, and I thought she looked familiar. I couldn't figure out why, because I had never seen her before. I see you now, and I saw you in her! Stay strong! It's okay to be hurting, it's okay to not be okay!

I hope you get to feel better and move on. You deserve it SO MUCH! I’ve been here since the braid enciclopedia hahaha and I’ll be here always 💙 I’m sending all the best vibes possible and I’m praying for you!

Oh Kayley stay strong! You dont have to always be the big sister or the role model, be yourself and happy :) im sending you lots of love from Slovenia Also Pippin is amazing, props to him

Kayley, PLEASE don't see yourself as a failure! Everyone has curveballs thrown at them in life, and they don't define you in the slightest. What does is how you handle them, and from this update, you seem to be handling everything with so much maturity and grace. It took me a long time to work up the courage, but something that's really helped me with the rough patches in my life is seeing a therapist. It has helped me a million time more than I ever could have imagined. Since August, I've learned not to shoulder all the blame that I've been carrying, and I understand now how much better off I am when I leave unhealthy relationships (of any type) behind. I can also tell her the things I'm too embarrassed to tell my friends and family about, which has been so nice to get off my chest. I've looked up to you since I started watching your videos in 2012 (back in the green sheet days!), and that has never changed. I wish you the best, and I look forward to sticking with you in the years to come!

Amidst the painful parts in life, family and God are always with you. And so are we, your subscribers, we love you! ❤️

One big hug is only thing I want to give you now. Take a good care of yourself

So brave of you to share this with us. Take your time to heal! No pressure to come back straight away. Looking forward to see more of your videos once you’re feeling better. ❤️

"to my let my channel die a little so that I could heal, that in itself was a hard thing"....Thank you for being a role model for so many out there, and taking time for yourself when you need it!!! That's what people need to see more of, and I always have admired your continuous authenticity. My heart is with you and I'm sending a big hug + so much love to the beautiful, strong woman that you are!!! Thank you for sharing Kayley ❤️

Hi Kayley! You are not a bad person, life happens and sometimes things don't go the way we plan them. If getting divorced was the best thing to do for yourself, that's ok. Stop saying you don't deserve support, you do and we got you. Lots of love from Italy💕 P.s Pippin is the sweetest 😍

Stay strong. Thank you for your honesty. You didn't need to bare your soul but since you did, I'm sure it will help a lot of people going through a hardship.

I havent even finished watching tje video, but dont feel like a failure honey, you are not. You are strong and the fact that you decided to open up this much makes me happy and proud. You got this.

I actually found you today and have binge watching them. I think you seem super talented, your videos look awesome and they are some of the most inspirational hair videos I've ever seen. This video is now at least 2 months old so I'm sure you have healed a bit. I just want to let you know that people still stumble upon your channel and follow you cause' your videos are good. So it is good to give yourself time and make better quality content. Thank you for this video even tho idk much about your ex and life at all. It still shows you're a human.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It's not easy for anyone, and all I can say is that do what you know is right for you. It's not an easy path, but you can. Don't lose sight of who you are Kayley.

I've followed you ever since your channel started and loved you since then. You'll get through this and I hope you can see us as a way of support. We don't personally know you but we love you.

Im so so sorry! Please take care of yourself first, we can wait. You are perfect the way u are,u are good enough!!!! Pippin! You rock puppy🐶you take very good care of you're mommy.

Hey, no worries sweetie. In fact, not posting allowed us to rewatch favorites and catch up on ones we missed. Only with you for 4-5 years now. But as your students, we are collectively better and ready to move forward with you. 💕 from a single mother and little girl

You’ve got a whole bunch of people rooting for you and that will be here whenever you’re ready. Take any time you need. We are here for you.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kayley, I'm so so sorry. My heart breaks for you. My condolences.

I've been watching you for years I still remember your olive green background. You are amazing and I am sending you lots of love ❤❤❤ the most important thing is for you to heal and be 100% ❤❤❤

healing takes time. there are no short cuts. grieving is a process, and the best thing is to deal with it. moving back home to be closer to family and friends is a very wise move. i think you’ll be fine. looking forward to your next video. 😊✌🏼❤️❣️😊

When I first discovered your videos hoping to learn a few hairstyles I never saw it coming how much I would end up caring about you as a person, and how each video would be like catching up with a good friend. No matter how long breaks you take for whatever is going on at the moment I will always be there so so happy to see you again. Sending you the biggest possible hug from Denmark

You ARE going to be okay! I am PROUD of you! P.S.: make something that makes you and us laugh. Keeping the serotonin-level up. 😘

Everything will work out in your situation, you are beautiful inside and out!! stay positive and do what makes you happy.

Hi Kayley, how are you doing now? You have taught me so much. Your so genuine xxx

Your dog loves you so much and it melts my heart when it looks at you!!! Stay strong girl! You’re very clearly a fighter and beautiful inside and out ❤️

you are Kayley Melissa the most amazing hairdresser on youtube don't let anyone show you otherwise you got you're 1.6 Million subs behind you. I know it hurts but I'm here

Sweet beautiful Kayley Melissa. I have been with you on your channel since you started it and I have to say that you are one of my favourite youtubers. Your video made me cry with you. Not only because I feel your pain but also because you make me feel so so proud. You are way stronger than you think you are. And that you sit here infront of the whole world telling such personal things shows just how brave you are. You and your husband met when you were so young. And so many people just grow apart. That doesn’t make you a failure or a bad rolemodel. In fact in my opinion I think that people that stay together just because they don’t belive in divorce are very bad rolemodels. You and your ex husband had the courage to want something better for your selves. And that to me that is so amazing. Know that your followers will stay with you thrue thick and thin. I am sending you all my love, support and very good vibes all the way from Denmark. Can’t wait for your new videos.

I'm so so proud of you Kayley you have no idea Love you mwah bye 💗

Hey Keyley you’re a beautiful human, inside and out. You deserve all our support and more! Wish you to feel better soon ❤️

I just started watching you and subscribing. Watched numerous videos and came upon this. Take it from a 47 year old woman who has been there, done that. You got this! Divorce sucks. It is a death to what you thought life would be. But trust me. Be you, get to know you and what you want in life. The forever is out there. You will make it through. I notice you have a wild following and so much support. Allow yourself to mourn. But make yourself move on. Fake it too you make it lol. Look forward to watching so much more of your hair and oh my goodness the organizing/crafty videos, yes yes yes! Good luck!

I just want to hug you! Life is a journey, with many roads and bumps along the way. Keep moving forward :)

I feel like I've grown up with you! When I lived overseas in my late teens I used to use your hair tutorials for crazy nights out, when I moved back I still used them for job interviews and such now when I'm going out on dates you're my go-to tutorial person! It might sound silly but I grieve with you, all the way from Australia, from someone who will never meet you, you're in my heart and I'm wishing you great, great, great peace and all the lovely things in life like family time, deep sleep, good food and fresh air. Love, love, love and more love xxx

Kayley stay strong！You are doing great！😘😘Everything is gonna be fine.

I found your channel not long after my divorce 6 years ago. You were the reason I got out of bed on the days I didn’t have my kids home, the reason I felt human when everything else felt like it was stacked on top of me. To that I say, thank you. Divorce is hard, finding your new normal is hard. But in 2, 5 or 10 years from now, you’ll look back and be proud of yourself for overcoming every adversity that was thrown your way. Hang in there, it gets easier.

Aw Sweetie. I have been watching since the days of the green background. Please don't feel like a failure. Going through something this hard, and making the right choices for you makes you a strong role model, demonstrating what to do when life just assaults you with as much as you can handle. I know it feels like the channel is dying because of how youtube and modernity work, but we are not leaving. We are waiting. Thank you for sharing this with us and being vulnerable. Heal. Take good care. Be well.

your videos have always been so professional and helpful to me, but I had no idea the amount of pressure you put on yourself behind the scenes to create that image. You're an amazing person and have SO MUCH to be proud of.

Perfect is overrated 😀 you’ve got this! Hold your head high, strong lady .

😢 So sorry to hear you had to go through this! Praying you will heal. Give your pup a hug from me, awesome sweetheart.

You're one of the first people I ever subscribed to, and this was yeeeeears ago. I'm so sorry for what you've been going through, but you're so strong for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh I am so sorry! I have watched you for yearssss, love you! I too have gone through a divorce, i have 3 kids and I never dreamed my life would be where it is 💔, but God will give you strength, I know it feels distant right now, but He has given you the tools and talent to find your direction. Youre a beautiful, wonderful, and talented woman, dont loose sight of that! Your videos helped me to find my passions when i first went through my divorce and I was in such a deep place, they reminded me to love myself, something I had completely forgotten💗 you're in my thoughts!

I'm so sorry you're going through this darling. I can see you're really hurting, and I am sending you all the love and light. Your dog loves you so much and is trying to remind you as much as possible every moment how wonderful you always are. I am inspired by your strength and grace i this situation. I've gone through a similar divorce, but you are handling it the way I think is the best way. I'm proud of you. Time will bring healing, you will come out of this stronger and happier. I promise. Don't give up, love you!

Kayley you are the first youtuber I ever followed because you helped me learn how to braid my hair, and 8 years later you still inspire me with your kindness and genuine spirit. I am so sorry you've had to endure this pain and heartbreak and will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

I cried through this whole video. Sending so much love your way ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you will heal eventually, love. And we’ll be here for you through it all!

Kayley, I've been following you since the Green sheet days. I'm talking high-school-me, trying to learn some dope braids to do for the girls on my basketball team. I'm pretty sure I've watched every video. You've taught me so much. I'm still here, watching your videos even though I shaved my hair off last June (I have braid envy quite badly, I'm at like almost-not-quite-a-bob length now). Though the hair tutorials and information have helped me immensely, you are the reason I watch. You are a lovely human and we can all tell. I'm so proud of you for being to put yourself out into the world so girls like me can connect with you, and share your story. Long story short, we love you. Please do what is best for you! I can't wait to see your videos more often. Reach out if you ever need anything ❤️❤️❤️

First, thank you for the update. Second, as someone who works in divorce, I have to say, you are one of the most composed individuals who is able to talk about this subject. Now, you will be okay. See this as a brand new chapter in your life and smile. Do what you feel is best and right for you. Focus on you. You are strong and you will be okay. Sending you lots of positive vibes.

omg this is the most amazing thing i've seen in a long time... when the dog looks at you when you start crying. another proof that dogs notice when you're sad and want to help you. i can't get over it how he acts when you get really emotional. i wish you all the best and thank you for sharing your story.❤️
