Hearing Hayley talk about her struggle with masculinity and femininity hit a cord with me! I too struggle with that duality and I love that shes so honest about it

[luzelenaserrano]

I had no idea that Girls Like Girls was her coming out... That song was such a HUGE deal to me when I was just discovering my sexuality, so it holds a very special place in my heart :')

Stevie was NOT evil, she was just using her critical thinking skills. They tried to indoctrinate us that she was wrong for reasonably questioning the family wizard competition. I have ideas for a Wizards of Waverly Place reboot/spin-off with them and new characters fixing the wizard system

[jijitters]

I cried the first time I saw the Girls Like Girls video, but I think the What I Need video was what hit the hardest. It really captured the love I want for myself.

I just recently saw her in Pittsburgh.
Holding a conversation with her was an absolute dream. She’s so warm, kind, genuine, and caring. She even asked me why “Found my friends” was the song I related to. As I told her about my current journey. She mentioned of how proud she was of me. I even told her how proud of her I was too. This album is an absolute masterpiece, because she is too. Hayley expressing her emotions for this really touches my heart. I’m so proud to be a fan❤️

[Liv-xmjl]

Hayley Kiyoko is truly inspirational. I went to her concert in Montreal earlier this week and it was a night I will always remember. I wish I could express to her how much she means to so many people.

[lexthefreebird]

Lemonade mouth is one of my favorite movies! What a time I felt I could truly love myself and not feel I had to be what the people around me at the time was influencing me to be or to be like. Seeing what I saw and wanting to fit in was lame!

[freudsthirdcousin]

i am still waiting for that "Girls Like Girls" movie version.. i will do everything to make that happen, Hayley

[adrianacortes]

Does no one remember Hayley being in the Scooby-Doo movies before she was on disney or is it just me

[ajhopeworld]

„Is anyone going to watch this video, is anyone going to relate to it“
Girl i binge watched the music video when i was 12 and i still do

[amylea]

What a fantastic video! I’m late to the fabulous Hayley story and I feel more caught up now- I had no idea she acted in tv shows in her early teen days! I’m now even a more devout follower of The LJ. 🌈🔥

[Alexardelean]

I didn’t know she was on tv. I became a fan after she was releasing music years and years ago. Love her voice. She’s so talented.

[Kimmander]

I love this hairstyle on her! Looks amazing

[TheCorey]

They didn’t show her as Velma in Scooby Doo.

[rer]

I love her. I wish she talked about being Velma Dinkley

[mateicimpan]

the end made me tear up, we love you hayley!! :, )

[DollFacedMagot]

I just watched girls like girls again earlier today…I didn’t realize she was involved! I truly haven’t thought of her in a long time. I’m so glad I was reminded of her?❤️

[playlistonly]

I love that one scene in the girls like girls music video. That was fire
