Who Is Kayla Nicole 999?
So who is Kayla Nicole 999? Well, before 2020, I wasn't very well known. I was a very quiet and introverted girl, that desperately tried to just keep to herself. That all changed back in 2018. My life took an unexpected turn for the worst, that turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to me but I wasn't able to see that at the time... Fast forward to today, 11/17/2020 and I have 2.1K subscribers on an adult website, that I NEVER planned on being on but I'm glad I took that leap of faith.

The Miscommunication Situation
We all have a point to make, we have something of virtue and value to express to another. We all don't know how our conversations start, and think "well maybe if I said the last part in the first place, then they wouldn't have made that remark about me that isn't true."

My Journey
My Journey Through Language I was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and was adopted and brought to America soon after. I do not know how I was cared for as an infant there or if anything happened to me there that would affect me later in life. But as a child, I was always shy. In elementary school, I was good at making friends with my peers but, I always had a problem talking to adults. Maybe it was because I had a slight lisp or even just because I'm an introvert, but it got so "bad" that my mother, a 3rd-grade teacher at the time, felt I should go to speech therapy. From my perspective, that didn't help. My journey through language has been rough. I’ve been pushed around a lot. Being taught to do one thing and then later on in life told it was wrong, to being silenced for months because it was the way of stripping my identity. My relationship with language has taken me down many different roads, but I feel like I’ve finally found my voice.

Are You Toxic?
Let's get something right straight off the bat: Just because you may exhibit toxic traits does NOT make you a bad person or a bad partner. Toxic traits can be subtle and passive or they can be blunt and loud. Finding success and happiness in your life depends on ridding it of toxicity in as many forms as you can, and the first step has to begin with yourself.

2020: A Year We Never Thought We'd Be A Part Of
This year didn't start off very well for anyone. People were dying, people were tired, working to keep others stable in the hospital, the government officials aging before our eyes because they were feeling the stress of trying to keep their people informed and protected. The pandemic of 2020 was something that the common people never saw coming. To start with, the world isn't all lollipops and unicorns, and as humans, when we have people in our lives that we care for, we can't get rid of the worrying feeling of when they get sick, or they go out for a night on the town with their friends in the car for the first time, or they have a sleepover with their best friend for the first time. It's ingrained in us to worry when we're away from our loved ones, and covid-19 really put that human instinct in overdrive. All you want to do is be there with them, and it was difficult to admit that the only way to keep them safe is to keep space between you and them. Thank goodness we live in an age where technology is accessible to so many people that we could talk on the phone and hear each others' voices, we can video call and see the excitement of grandchildren seeing their beloved grandparents after months of being apart. Every generation has its challenges during this trying time. The younger children were missing their social time with others their age because the schools were closed for part of the year and now, many students are doing virtual classes. It's a great option to keep the kids home, but no kid should be on the computer for that many hours at a time, although the teachers really are doing a great job of acclimating everyone and making online school more enjoyable for the kids. The kids have probably lost some of their structure of normal life with being in the classroom and having a bedtime, but we aren't in old normal times anymore. Then, we've got the parents. The parents who have to work have to worry about being in the office and possibly bringing something home, and those with small children had to take time off work to be home with them. The seniors, those in homes were prone to the sickness because of their immune system, a lot of them don't even know how to use technology to communicate with loved ones if there wasn't someone there to help them.

Life is perfect due to setbacks
There is no need to regret in life, things that pass away are like a gust of wind; life does not need regrets, and what should come is still to come after all; life does not need to be annoying, and it is difficult for the gray hair to be black again; life does not need to be lamented, loss of self-confidence will lose everything! With an optimistic attitude towards life, traveling will also become a troublesome trip; without strong perseverance, a short journey will become a difficult trek; life is not a race, but a journey. The race cares about the end, and the travel cares about the scenery along the way.

Hey You
I've been on this journey for the last probably five or so years. A journey to love and accept myself, even if I'm not where I want to be with my body. I've done diets galore, exercise routines that made me cry, binge eating episodes that made me hate myself even more. All of it failed every single time. And I'm a big walking cliche because it was 100% due to the fact that I hated myself so much that I wanted to change. I sound like every other fat positive v/blogger and I'm okay with that. Credit for my mind changing about myself goes to The Fat Author (@thefatauthor on instagram) and her podcast Beached Whale. She isn't there to give some philisophical crap about finding inner peace with some essential oils and a yoni egg (?). It's all just honesty. She just talks about herself and her path to loving who she is, even when she doesn't like parts of her. It's incredible, I love her, and if you see this, HI DESTINY, I LOVE YOU!
