Draw My Life | Kassie

People are starving. They may not know it because they're being fed mass produced garbage. The packaging is colourful and loud, but it's produced in the same factories that make Pop Tarts and iPads, by people sitting around thinking, 'What can we do to get people to buy more of these?'

And they're very good at their jobs. But that's what it is you're getting, because that's what they're making. They're selling you something. And the world is built on this now. Politics and government are built on this, corporations are built on this. Interpersonal relationships are built on this. And we're starving, all of us, and we're killing each other, and we're hating each other, and we're calling each other liars and evil because it's all become marketing and we want to win because we're lonely and empty and scared and we're led to believe winning will change all that. But there is no winning.

What can be done? Say who you are, really say it in your life and in your work. Tell someone out there who is lost, someone not yet born, someone who won't be born for 500 years. Your writing will be a record of your time. It can't help but be that. But more importantly, if you're honest about who you are, you'll help that person be less lonely in their world because that person will recognize him or herself in you and that will give them hope.

I initially didn't want to do this video, but I've been reflecting a lot lately and this was a very helpful exercise for me. Maybe it will help you too. My life story isn't exactly happy, but life is not perfect, and you have to live to learn. I hope this inspires you to keep fighting through anything that life throws at you.

When she talked about her sister... I'm so sorry about that..

[iristreul]

Kassie I am so sorry about your sister.

[mariagiordano]

I can hear Kassie’s voice trembling when she talks about her sister🥺🥺🕊🕊

[steviej]

At the end it really touched me because nobody ever cared that much about me


And Kassie,






Everybody loves you and is here for you, no matter what.

[lexusk]

Just hearing Kassies voice treamble like that just makes me cry and I'm so sorry about your sister she saved other people with depression when they were done but she saved a lifes but it took a price her life cause she didn't prioritize herself rest in peace

[elizabread]

I started crying when she talked about her sister. I struggle with depression and anxiety and as a 13 year old I know I shouldn’t want to die. The way she talks about her sister I realize there’d be a few people who might miss me.

[ayesharehman]

omg i literally started sobbing when she was talking about her sister

[huihui]

Your sister sounds like was amazing person. My best friend took her own life two years ago and I know how it feels. She knew me, like no one else did, and nothing can change that. I am so very sorry, and I will support you in any way I can.

[jwil]

I wish Kassie's sister never died because it seemed like she was the light in every darkness for kassie

[nino]

I'm normally tough and i don't let people hurt me. But when i heard about your sister i automatically started to cry.

[onisonion]

My friend's sister took her own life.. it's actually really sad how depression can kill so many people. :(

[arumikahaven]

Oh Kassie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just started watching your Gloom channel and you've made me smile and laugh so much this week, I suffer from severe PTSD and anxiety, along with autism and I've started my own Youtube Channel. Your sister would be so proud of you and what you've accomplished <3
