  • I still come back to this video every once in a while. The best video on all of YouTube

  • This made me cry, but in a wonderful way. I am 16 years old and I have been struggling with dysthymia and major depressive disorder, "double depression", for many years. I feel I'm getting better, but I still fight suicide everyday, and this is nothing compared to what it used to be. But this is so incredibly encouraging and amazing, makes you so greatful and makes you realize you can find that true happiness if you truely work for it.. it's a lifestyle, a thought process. We love you Kandee.

  • this actually made me cry....thank you Kandee <3

  • @atewote that's not true happiness .

  • You are so beautiful, inside and out-3

  • I favorited this video months ago when it first came out. I have no idea how many times I've watched this, but it only seems to grow in value for me. Thank you so much for being such a bright light in people's lives and for reminding me that it's worth it to hold on another day or another week or another month. Your ability to smile every day is so inspiring to me and every time I watch this video, I just feel so encouraged to continue living and smiling. Thank you so much, Kandee <3

  • Kandee, you've just taken some weight off my shoulders. And it hurts to smile even though I want to when you encourage me to, my heart doesn't ache as much anymore. You brighten up my day whenever I watch you on youtube and these tears I'm crying are drying after watching this video.

    Thank you so so so much Kandee and I love you so much! You're such an inspiration! xox

  • Thank you.

  • Such a beautiful person with a beautiful heart/soul =) Thank you for this video, Happy Valentines Day and God Bless You & Your Family

  • Kandee you are amazing, it takes alot to make me cry, but this made me cry,, I was a strong believer in god, until 2 years ago when my son was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, I became bitter and resentful, especially when I seen so many young life's been taken, from babies to teens, but watching this video has really inspired me, thank you for helping me to realise, that we were put on this earth for a reason, and that is to take the rough with the smooth, the good with the bad, love

  • Because Jesus suffered, suffering is actually good. Human suffering makes us stronger and brings us closer to eternal life. I totally agree with you, Kandee. This video absolutely made my day. I didn't really have a good day today, but I came across your video and you made me so happy. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to watch this like everyday until graduation day because I hate high school so much. You make my Kandee, thank you so much!

  • thank you so much Kandee! i was one of those people about a year ago who contacted you. im only 13 and i have tried to kill myself 3 times and been in the hospital 4 times too.... you give me so much hope! we had to cut off the cable a week ago because we have hardly any money to live.... i get bullied every day too. every day i wear jeans a tank top and a sweater to hide but now you give me hope! im going to defeat the bullies and make friends with them. forgive them. thank you so much Kandee.

  • <3

    

  • Youre beautiful, Kandee.

  • I was never taught religion and for a few years I've been saying that I'm atheist because I've never really grasped the concept of God. When it comes down to it, I want to learn and I want to be a happy person. I don't want to be someone who doesn't believe in the beauty of this world and this life.

    Thank you for making this video, Kandee. It has really helped me. Whenever I feel worthless, hopeless, or depressed I will think of these words of inspiration to get me through the day <3

  • Life is like an apple, you never know how great it is until you get to the core, and with that core you're able to make another apple (: Kandee, you put a light in me that will never burn or dim, I thank you for all the inspiration you have given me in so many prospects of my life. You truly have helped me wake up breathing the next morning, thank you so much for being so beautiful and showing me that there are amazing people out there, I will be forever greatful that I found you.

  • Today is my birthday. I have so many wonderful blessings in my life. I have had however many things weighing on me. Fear, and sadness, and then I stumbled on this video. Somehow today, I find it, of all days. Thank you.

  • Maybe you kid is going though terrible twos...

  • Thanks for this Kandee. I recently converted to Christianity after being a staunch Atheist for many years. I've already become a happier person over the past month because of it. :-)

  • WOW!!!:D

    

  • please be my best friend? :)

  • I saw this cause I'm subscribed to you and I so needed to see this. I've been going through a really tough time lately. So much drama that I try not to be apart of and people who are close to me, I feel that they have been mentally abusing me. I've been under a great deal of stress and it's beginning to affect my health. Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been on edge for a while and you just made me feel so much better. Thank you so much, Kandee. I love you. <3

  • I love you

  • i need this sooo much ttoday. i didnt know what to do so i looked at this video. thank you sooo much! i love you! :)

  • you are the best person ever

    

  • I dont know what to say. I started tearing up almost as soon as the video started. I needed to see this video this week.

  • Kandee, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. Today's just been awful and I feel like my whole life is a waste. I know that I have family around me that loves me but I guess I just needed your help to see that. Thank you so much Kandee. You are such an inspiration! :)

  • After the last 19 month I have been in and out of the hospital and everytime i feel like giving up Your Videos manage to make me smile and brighten up my day, so I need to say thank you Kandee!

  • This is like a lil Kandee cult!

  • this is great and all. but ...do you really still care about someone just as much if they dont believe in god? I dont believe i've ever met someone who honestly didnt care. Like in the back of their mind they just think "well maybe if you believed in god then your life wouldnt be so shitty" or "maybe if you prayed, you might get some help". I cant tell you how many people ive met who have told me..to my face, that if i dont accept jesus christ then i'm not shit.

  • iii really hope so kandee. like.

  • This makes my DAYS i love you

  • Thank you(:

  • THANK YOU KANDEE !!! <33 This message made my day !! I was so sad when I decided to watch it again, and now I feel soo good !!! Thank you !! I love you !! And I love God !! :D

  • My friend, no scratch that. My BESTfriend, was pushed beyond his limits, everything went wrong for him. He felt hopeless and lost, he shot himself in the spot we met up at every day and just talked for hours. He was such a positive person, but he was hurting. God only gives people as much as they can handle. The stronger the person, the more things they get thrown at them. But he lost it. Rest in Peace Troy, I miss you and love you <3 3.17.93-12.6.11

  • how can anyone dislike this video???! XX

  • She's so sweet

  • Amen! This was such a beautiful message. :D

  • I LOVE YOU

  • @ElenaMemole ...ok I'm no Kandee Johnson ...but I do have the best answer ever..JESUS just ask for forgiveness and ask for Gods help! He loves you and I no it feels like he doesn't but everything God does is for Your good! If you are already a Christian GREAT but if not please except Jesus . I'll see you later if you do ...ETERNAL LIFE in Heaven with the God that made everything! Thank you for reading this and I hope you feel better. :)

  • when your soulmate leaves you...what can you do? what can I do? It seems that all around me doesn't have value... I can't live without him. Please help me!

  • kandee you are an angel .

I really hope you see this and i want you to know that you are a blessing from God and this touched a lot of people. I'm sorry to hear about the loss

  • What a positive video. :) I am not depressed, personally anymore, but I have scars that will be there forever to remind me of that terrible place I was for years. I wish I had a video like this when I was younger. Very inspirational. 3 beautiful Kandee

  • Kandee I am a Muslim and absolutely loved this video, thank you so much!

  • :)

    Thank you Kandee.

  • Kandee you are amazing, no matter of your believes or religion, your message is universal. And its really nice to see someone so positive and so optimistic to cheer ppl up and just tell them they aren't alone and that there is hope for them too. Thanks for doing that <33

  • thank you so much for this message .saved my life.

  • Thank you Kandee for taking time out of your day to encourage others and share the love God has placed in your heart. I'm definitely going through a rough season right now but as you said, joy comes in the morning! I have been following you for a couple of months and you have been so inspirational especially in the low moments I've experienced this year. Thank you again and I'm sending love and blessings your way everyday ..love you XOXO -a single mommy in AZ :)

  • Kandee you are sp amazing, and have a huge heart, you are def an inspiration to so many women and men that enjoy your videos. I always watch one of your vids when I am feeling ne self esteem, you make me smile and apreciate my hubby and daughter. My life is not going as planned right now, but I have my two loves right here with me and They keep my hope and my strenght up. growing up I was abused mentally, sexually, and phisically, and I keep moving through life picking myself up, and having hope

  • I decided that I had enough of being sad everyday so I went to seek help. I went to a group meeting where a lady teach's us to understand our emotions and learn how to deal with them. I really feel like this is going to help. It's comforting to see others that are struggling just like you and see that there is hope! Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, you need courage to accept that you need help and go for it!!

  • Thank you for this message your beautiful

    Amen

  • Girl, it is so inspiring as a Christian woman to watch you say these things. You really put yourself out there for the world to see and hear. I sometimes wonder how I should carry myself and what I should do or say to be to live right. You've just govern me an amazing example of the attitude I should always strive to have. Thank you so much for being so courageous.

  • THIS IS ELLE, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH KANDEE. YOU SAVED ME.

  • I wish I could be happy ...I don't have a job and have a feeling that everything around is falling apart!

  • Candy, youre such a bright ray of sunshine!

  • Joy for me is..being grateful no matter what happened to me. God is always with me. So, I have no reason to be not happy. I am a survivor cutter. But now, I left my dark life behind and live my faith in God to be a better-happy person. Thank you for this video Kandee! God bless you! *God is a perfect healer and an ultimate heartbroken "fixer" !!! *

  • I'm not depressed anymore. I'm shining like you. God has put so many good people on my path. But it started with you and your happiness. You are amazing person. Thank you for being you and the best example for girls like me (or boys).

    Thank you for sharing the love of God. Because of God and his people like you I'm sooooo happy. I'm saved and I'm not living in a dark world anymore. I love youuuuu xxx

  • Kandee about two years ago I was feeling so depressed and I was over weight. It was the lowest time in my life. Nothing good was happening for me. I was living in so much pain from my past. I could not let go. Then one day I was searching for I don't know on Youtube and there I met a super happy positive shiny girl. She was so happy. So positive. I watched her story and I thought how can she be so shiny? I want that too. That was you Kandee. Sinds then I prayed so much. I lost 52.91 lbs.

  • Why would ppl be so stupid and ignorant to "dislike" this video. Kandee lives her life trying to look out for others. She's selfless. A great human being.

  • God bless you Kandee! =)

  • Kandee u r amazing! Thank u so much for being such a wonderful unselfish person that u would make this video just to help someone else's life & I love u!

  • I love you, Kandee! :D

  • thanks for this Kandee! truly motivational. you're a blessing to the world!

  • Thank you.

  • Kandee you should be the pope. You'd make lots of people happy ...and pretty. Lol this video helped me braced the waved that hit me today. Thank you Kandee :D

  • My absolute soulmate just left me, and I feel like I really can't go on... It hurts so much, I feel like he ripped my heart out and crushed it... I haven't been to school for over a week now, because every time I even think about facing other people who know about my problems and having to tell them about what happened, I get so sad...

  • @fanniemelander I'm sending you a hug. I promise you, things will get better, you will smile again and find someone who truly loves you

  • @vinnymax01 Thank you so much! For about a week ago I also wrote a comment on another one of Kandee's videos, desperate for some calming words, and almost all the feedback I got was negative. I'm glad that someone is such a good person as you are! God bless you..

  • @fanniemelander well, that is terrible. I believe we all go thru having our hearts broken. I do believe that people are so negative because they hide behind a computer screen. It's going to be ok, I promise, just give yourself time to heal, focus on you!

  • @vinnymax01 yes, I can't believe that some people think that they can just say whatever they like to other people, just because the other person can't see them or probably don't know who they are.. you are truly angel, thank you so much for the support, I need all the help and uplifting words I can get right now... I'm so glad that we can turn to our Kandee-family for calming words and help.. god bless Kandee Johnson!

  • Kandee, I wasn't one of the people who contacted you, but I'm pretty sure you're talking to me. I really needed this....and I'll probably have to watch it a ton of times before I finally get it, and I wanted to thank you for it. You are a blessing to me....and I'm sure to all of us here!

  • Wow you help me sooo much!!! I LOVE YOU

  • Kandee you are amazing, God speaks through you in beautifull wayys. God bless you kandee.

  • Every time I have a bad day and I feel like my world is crumbling around me, I think of this video and watch it and it makes me realize how amazing and precious life is and it reminds me that no matter what I go through I can keep joy and beauty in my heart. I will stay strong throughout whatever life throws at me and I will spread joy to others constantly. Thanks for inspiring Kandee. :) God bless. All my love, Alana

  • Ms. Kandee, Hello. I have been watching your videos ever since your Marilyn tutorial, and I gotta say how happy your attitude for life has made me. I watched this video just now when I havent been feeling too well about myself, starting to question what kind of person I am, and I know now. I want to be happy. Thank you so much for your sweet words, they mean a lot more than you know to people you've never met before. :-)

  • :,) 1000 thumbs up! Your an amazing woman

  • part3: but i told eventually, so far he hasn't found me, and he has no clue where i live!... i suffer from depression and i'm scared every day he will find me, i have seriously been thinking about killing myself and then i came across this video, you made me cry! you made me realize i'm worth more then that and that one day my life will get better, and before i saw this video i have been starting to lose my faith because i feel like everything just gets worse :( but after i watched this video

  • part2:i was waiting for marrage to have sex, and after that happened i was just about to kill myself and then i met my fiance he is my whole world, he saved me from killing myself, but i recently took my dad to court about the sexual abuse, i lost the case because there wasn't enough evidence for him to go to prison and the reason i didn't tell sooner was because he threatened to kill me, my mom, and my sister, and i didn't want that to happen

  • part1:hi, i just watched that video, and i don't know you but i love you for making this! it was like i sign from god that i came across this video. here is my story, when i was little (i'm 19 now) my dad was abusive sexually, mentally, and physically toward me and i never told anyone about the sexual abuse until i turned 17 and that's when i told my mom, well since then i have been cheated on by basically every guy i've been with, my ex boyfriend raped me...

  • I think I might share my story. It might help me find my brother.

  • You are an amazing person Kandee. You touch so many lives and it is so refreshing to have someone out there sending so much positivity. We love you Kandee!!!!

  • Thank you so much for this video kandee! I love you too! :) I have been going through depression for a while now and was once at the stage where I thought I couldn't go on. I couldn't take the pain anymore but I got through that! Even in your darkest days where there seems like there is no hope there is and it will pass! I'm so glad I hung in there for the people that love me! And they and god give me strength!

  • Thank you so much for posting this! You really made my day!

  • God bless you Kandee <3 (:

  • I love you

  • I look up to you so much. For a long time I was very depressed because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I was going to college for something I didn't like and would cry every night because I knew I wasn't happy where I was. But then a week before I was going to go back to school I had this realization that I want to become a make up artist and make people feel beautiful. I believe hearing your story and your videos really helped steer me in this direction. I'm so happy now.

  • your amazing :)

  • kandee, whenever i am in pain i always turn to your videos, &&believe it or not i dont l leave your videos without a smile on my face :) thankyouu kandee<3 i love you!

  • Kandee you are my inspiration to go on. I was suicidal for a while and this just helped me 100% and you are just amazing.

  • I just read your son's paper in defining a hero. Thanks to him, I'm adding one more quote to my list of inspirational reminders--"You have to always look at the good side of things, and if you don’t see one, look for it. "
