2025-02-18 00:48:17 +0000 UTCAlso not to mention January has to be the LONGEST MONTH. Like I’m seeing this in February and it’s already the 3rd…like

2025-02-04 00:43:46 +0000 UTCI got COVID for the first time a week ago today. I got the vaccine in 2021. It was AWFUL. I’m still stuffed up and have an obnoxious cough. I missed my second week of classes and my one teacher still hasn’t responded to me. I feel like she’s acting like it’s MY fault I got sick. I also feel like things keep going wrong for me this month on top of everything else. Not just me, I feel things are going wrong for EVERYONE.
Alexis
2025-02-02 22:59:39 +0000 UTClove that for you

2025-02-02 02:02:46 +0000 UTCI had this stomach bug earlier last year when I told people the only way I felt normal was to strip and lay down in the shower and throwing up everything I ever ate in my life. When I’m sipping water out of a shot glass I knew it was bad.
Monica Williams
2025-02-01 02:17:07 +0000 UTCDid I have good things happen? Yes. But overall January could go to hell
Catlady972
2025-01-31 17:42:40 +0000 UTCThis spoke to me!!! Every January is bad for me but THIS YEAR…January needs to let me go like please girl

2025-01-31 16:37:05 +0000 UTCJanuary hasn’t been so bad to me. I started a new job this month and I got into my top choice grad schools. But now I’m concerned about the federal grants ban and school so yeah, very sinister times.

2025-01-30 23:10:13 +0000 UTCThank you! This was over 5 years ago; today my immune system feels closer to what it used to be. I don't know anything for certain, but I do believe I had a cocktail of infections potentially including Covid, and it was the combination that did me in. And you're absolutely right about the TDAP vaccine. At the time I was overdue for another dose; had I been more on top of it, things would have gone a lot better lol.
Efrain
2025-01-30 21:30:04 +0000 UTCThat’s so scary! I wonder if pertussis makes people more susceptible to other illnesses. Good reminder to all of us to get our TDAP vaccine!! Hope you get back to your old self soon ❤️

2025-01-30 19:22:03 +0000 UTCKenya Im gonna have to blame you. I get mildly sick often but it’s never anything that I can’t just put a mask on about and keep it stepping. I kid you not, the DAY after I watched this video, I woke up with the most debilitating headache, body aches, and sore throat. I went to the doctor and I tested positive for both Covid and the flu. I didn’t even know you could have both at the same time but when I tell you that I feel worse than I ever did when I had cancer, I mean it sincerely.

2025-01-30 14:09:08 +0000 UTCI got covid on NYE and had to use my sick time 3 days into the year 😵💫 and that was only the start
Eboni Haynes
2025-01-30 05:28:47 +0000 UTCMy birthday is January 1. The first three weeks of January everyone in my home was sick at some point. The flu got us. I’m glad you are feeling better.
Olga Llamas
2025-01-30 03:25:54 +0000 UTCI used to be one of the strong folk who never got sick. But then I got whooping cough a CHILDS disease and I legit have never been the same since. I now get nervous whenever people around me are sick cuz I know I'm going to get it and its going screw me over.
Efrain
2025-01-29 19:40:16 +0000 UTCJanuary has not been super kind to me either. I had to change my car insurance because a clerical error caused my rates to nearly double, my car is in the mechanic for unknown electrical issues, I’ve lost connections I was excited about, me and my bestie have been at odds. The only positives: My sister and homies had a birthday I have read 2 books (plus some manga) this month - with hopes to finish a third before the month is over (I wanted to commit to reading one book a month bc I got inspired by your rant about how people pretend they want to read)
Riffy
2025-01-29 14:49:07 +0000 UTCI’m sorry you had such a rough January (and reading the comments it sounds like everyone else did too 💀). I consider January the perfect time to rest and recover so I’ve been really intentional about doing things I love (spending time with friends, baking, etc). I also started the new year reading evergreen by Lydia Millen and I recommend it (it’s an easy and basic read, but I found the lessons helpful). Praying that everyone has an amazing February ✨
Chey
2025-01-29 14:47:54 +0000 UTCyou’re actually the best storyteller in game LMFAO. glad you pulled through, boo. we’ll all survive another chief’s super bowl together 🤝🏾
anaisja
2025-01-29 12:43:39 +0000 UTCSo glad you’re feeling better! January was absolute trash over here too. Trump has us all STRESSED. Would love to hear your thoughts on DEI rollbacks, Tabitha Brown, and Black Capitalist foolishness.
Taylor Washington
2025-01-29 10:56:57 +0000 UTCYou just needed to get all the bad karma out in January so that your 2025 could be IT for the rest of the year. Only good things that happened in my January: -Started my Youtube Channel!! (It’s ‘Words With Amber’ if you wanna check it out) -My birthday (Jan 10th) -My boyfriend’s birthday (Jan 16th) lol Also, i also got some weird ass stomach bug that took me OUT the first week of January so I feel u Kenya!!!

2025-01-29 04:04:20 +0000 UTCNo I couldn’t agree with March, is a random at best month for me

2025-01-28 20:33:44 +0000 UTCI am glad you are feeling alot better. I am also very glad you had a community willing to care for you and worried for your well being. May the rest of the year be as good to counterbalance the bullshit of your first week 🫶🏾
Arie Tv
2025-01-28 19:10:47 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry your 2025 got off to such a rough start, Kenya!! I’ve been seeing reports that Norovirus is absolutely everywhere right now, maybe that’s what you had. Be gentle on yourself as you recover, the body needs about a week for every feverish day before getting back to regular exercise. Love how goal oriented you are, it’s funny in this context but always inspiring! Thank you for sharing, I was wondering if you were sick earlier this month, just had a feeling something was up when you weren’t around on here. Wishing you a happy and healthy February/Black History Month!!
Jennifer B
2025-01-28 17:18:26 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry you been going through it and i’m wishing you good health! Januarys for me have always been a drag cause its cold out so i don’t wanna leave the house but then i be bored as hell just being at work and home all the time 😓 and i don’t start my new years goals until February so the month is just a limbo period until then

2025-01-28 16:38:31 +0000 UTCJanuary is the worst… I’m glad started my New Year Resolutions in mid December so I wouldn’t feel pressured by having to start on the 1st
Jasmine F.
2025-01-28 16:05:59 +0000 UTCAs someone born in Summer, I also hate the Summer (it’s too damn hot) I prefer Spring 💐 (luckily not affected by allergies) and Autumn 🍂 — that’s my "I‘m outside, let’s travel during shoulder season“, let’s hike all the time, let’s hang out etc
Jasmine F.
2025-01-28 16:04:12 +0000 UTCI was sick as he'll the same days as u it was terrible😟I didn't throw up but I had a terrible fever and cough I even took a covid test and everything. And I had gone to get my hair treated the same day I got sick and was in bed for 6 days lost solo much weight

2025-01-28 13:21:49 +0000 UTCJanuary has been okay just loooooong like I really felt every day, every week of this month and it’s still not over. Since I got a head start of my New Year’s resolution in December I can’t complain too much. Just glad it’s almost over, enjoyed the snow but I need it to go now!
Lavender1495
2025-01-28 12:50:35 +0000 UTCKenya I’m so glad you’re okay omg what a shit show of a month fr 😭❤️ I left my toxic job and started another one (WFH!) and I’m doing hella overtime so I can have money to start investing into my Healthcare business plan bc I can’t work for the white man forever omfg
Tia
2025-01-28 11:30:39 +0000 UTCBut I’m glad to see you’re doing better now and nice to know you have great family around you for support. You will hit your goals again don’t worry! But don’t put too much pressure on yourself to bounce back right away🙏🏻💕

2025-01-28 11:06:31 +0000 UTCThis has been the worst January yet omgggg..... what is going on
shandog
2025-01-28 11:06:13 +0000 UTCJanuary had my birthday but it still sucked. Had the worst assignment ever leaning over me that I was trying to finish while working full time. Leaving the house it’s dark, coming home it’s dark :(. But now that the pain is over I’m also looking forward to a fresh start in February, and especially for pancake day❤️
Chloé
2025-01-28 11:04:06 +0000 UTCMy January was so bad I had a pylinidal cyst (do not look it up) the first week of January and I started nursing school the second week of January.
Jenna Jackson
2025-01-28 08:45:46 +0000 UTCnope, january is a miserable month

2025-01-28 06:48:39 +0000 UTCI feel you girl I been down since November too especially cuz most of December I was sick including on Christmas and this month has not been better for me I also think the weather’s affecting me even tho I like winter too lol but I can tell already February will be your month :)

2025-01-28 06:44:36 +0000 UTCGirl I have a January birthday and I can’t even get excited bc it’s always a blizzard outside and I haven’t seen the sun in 3 weeks
Abby Adams
2025-01-28 06:41:16 +0000 UTCGirl, I am too a person who never gets sick, but just like you I was on my deathbed for the first 1,5 weeks of January, and I still have not fully recovered. On top of that, I had a situationship that crashed and burned. January kicked my ass and I am DONE hahahaha
Raoul Christian Carlos
2025-01-28 06:40:51 +0000 UTCJanuary is like the dead month. Literally nothing happens and I think that’s why things feel so slow.
Gabriel Benton
2025-01-28 06:08:18 +0000 UTCJanuary is unequivocally the worst. Here is South Africa it’s summer, the hottest month and driest, no one has money. The year really starts in March for me😂 love you Kenya

2025-01-28 04:41:02 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry to hear your misfortune Kenya, but unfortunately this was like one of your funniest videos in a minute 😭😭😭😭 like i was crying laughing for 30 mins straight
Taylor Haynes
2025-01-28 04:40:30 +0000 UTCgirl you so goal oriented you tried to set a schedule and send an eviction notice to a virus, i ain’t never heard of that before 😭😭 in all seriousness, imma keep you in my prayers! i’m glad you didn’t have no other symptoms bc severe weight loss in a three day period and such a high fever is already a huge burden on your body and immune system, im happy you’ve come out the other side of it relatively okay. and you better than me bc i wouldn’t record a damn thing, let alone a podcast or video, if i was in the throes of it like you were. thank u for ur service 🫡

Treena Mathieu
2025-01-28 03:48:13 +0000 UTCI feel like I've been in a slump since Thanksgiving and this month hasn't made any improvement to that. I was playing catch up from 2024 for most of January, so I haven't made as much progress as I wanted to yet in 2025. I think the weather has been affecting me more than I realized this year so far. if it's too cold outside, I won't be motivated to do anything all day, which isn't useful (and I'm a fan of winter, so that's weird). on the bright side, I've seen three movies this month, which is more than I could say for most of last year!!! I'm also excited bc I'm getting new tattoos in February, so fingers crossed that next month is better!!!
rudi!!!
2025-01-28 03:06:50 +0000 UTCGlad you're feeling better, Kenya! I'm currently watching this with the flu after going to the emergency room with chest pains. Felt you 100% with the patrick mahomes bit. January needs to unhand us NEOW!
Makenzie
2025-01-28 02:28:36 +0000 UTCAww poor Kenya. I know vomiting sucks :/ soo happy you’re feeling better 💕
Korli Bridges
2025-01-28 02:28:10 +0000 UTCunrelated and haven't started this vid yet but just saw that I've been a member since Jan 2022?? like how do this woman make content that both 22 year old me and 25 year old are invested in? I been knew but damn, Kenya is good as fuck at her job
Elan Williams
2025-01-28 02:25:25 +0000 UTCI cannot relate to any of the sentiments towards January bc my birthday is January 17 so I be having a timeeee and I wish the month would actually last longer because I love my birthday real bad 😭🤣
Korli Bridges
2025-01-28 02:23:08 +0000 UTCI just from back from Puerto Rico for my birthday trip! It was littt
Korli Bridges
2025-01-28 02:20:55 +0000 UTCI, too come alive in the winter and ALSO caught the norivirus. End of the year was on my ass real tough. Woke up to bake on thanksgiving for a Friendsgiving just to find I couldn’t taste my frosting and had covid. Then my baby was sick with either the bug or teething hee molars which apparently is the WORST. Then I had norovirus then get this— I got the FLU on top of already having norovirus. Where they do that at? I’m not a big sickly person but I barely started feeling better the middle of the first week. I felt decent and alive enough on NYE to take down my tree then it was back to pepto, pedialyte and heating pads for me. Then I had less than a week to get back on track, clean my house, do laundry, take my baby to daycare which she started on the 6th and prep for me going back to school for the first time in 10 years a week after 😭 I am still recovering fr. Also— Kenya, don’t pmo. Needing electrolytes is HARDLY half adding your dry January. But in the future if it means that much to you , bc I don’t always want to juicy Gatorade either, get an electrolyte water like essentia. But pedialyte will always do it too. I’m so glad you felt better, I half popped a blood vessel too. Nothing worse than starting the year ugly and decrepit
FRIDAY
2025-01-28 02:11:55 +0000 UTCBaby January was on your ass baddddd. January made an enemy out of most of this year. Everyday we lose more rights under Trump’s tyrannical reign. We in hell
Jayden Brown
2025-01-28 02:01:18 +0000 UTCThat's awful Kenya! What a rough start to the new year. I am glad you are much better and ready to indulge in what brings you joy ! I look forward to Oscar season with you.

2025-01-28 01:28:51 +0000 UTCThat is terrible, I’m glad you’re better now. I only remember having the flu one time in sixth grade. It was terrible. I almost died because of all the mucus in my throat. I didn’t know how to cough it up lmao. I rannn to the kitchen to get some water to swallow it back down
Diedra
2025-01-28 01:06:05 +0000 UTCKenya January was kicking my ass too! End of last year wasnt doing great feeling down had a migraine and bad period was looking forward to the new year. Got something similar to what you had on new years just in the inverse. Was feeling down but was like im going to try being more fit was doing good for a week but did something to my neck and couldn’t move so there went working out. My bday is in January and i was feeling down bc i feel like i should doing more with my life. i was stressed planning a joint bday party w/ my cousins. Had the party this weekend. I had so much fun! Depression i don’t know her!!! it was great seeing my friends and cousins we were out all night. now my feet are still killing me and so is my body but im not letting that keep me down. my actual birthday is on the 29th i got a little itinerary of just cute stuff to do around town for the day. January beat my ass but it can only go up from here!
Liz Huerta
2025-01-28 00:49:48 +0000 UTCI really needed this today, I've been feeling quite melancholy and nervous + there's a legitimate reason why but it's still just so strange and annoying, you put the January-ness so perfectly in a way I never even thought of. Anyways, I have something exciting coming up in a couple days so I'm just gonna try to have a positive mindset moving forward. Wishing you all the best for the last couple days of this cursed month and then February onwards! 🤍
Ray
2025-01-28 00:07:58 +0000 UTCSo glad you’re better, Kenya! I think the worst time I was sick was when I got a severe case of strep throat in college. I didn’t eat for a week and I lost like 10lbs. I was ready to end my shit.
Keith Primas
2025-01-27 23:57:59 +0000 UTCHonestly January is usually pretty chill/ mid for me, the only up part is the week I take off for my birthday! 🤣 chileee take me back to Puerto Rico NEOOOWWWWWWW!!!
CatrinaSmacks
2025-01-27 23:38:38 +0000 UTCI am also a person who does not get sick. Ever. So when I first got food poisoning?? bbyyy I thought I was dyinggg. A stomach bug, any sort of sickness is bad for anybody but for ppl who do not ever get sick.. idk it's like the sickness but also the shock of what the hell exactly is happening to me right now??? It's hell but I'm glad you feel better now!
Diana
2025-01-27 23:33:31 +0000 UTCI only tolerate winter because my bday is January 28th but this month has been rough for me too. I'm glad you're feeling better though!!
Deidra
2025-01-27 22:58:06 +0000 UTCI also had the bug. Similarly my day started off completely normal and then my stomach started to feel queasy. It came from both ends. I am still so disgusted in the things my body produced that day. Not being able to hold down medication or even water is an experience I wouldn’t wish on the worst of them! Luckily it only lasted a day or two. Sorry it lasted longer for you. Glad you’re feeling better Kenya!
Ola Ogun
2025-01-27 22:15:50 +0000 UTCI was like this ! Try honey and cinnamon put it in the microwave for less than 15 seconds. It really helped my cough disappear and stopped that dry cough specifically

Eboni Haynes
2025-01-27 21:33:35 +0000 UTCKenya, you are brave, because if I threw up that much in that span of time, I would’ve called an ambulance and sent all my passwords to my youngest sister. The way I decide that I’m living my last day when I have to vomit! Please! 🙅🏾♀️

carly gill
2025-01-27 21:21:40 +0000 UTCThe title got me to click so fast! My oldest sister’s birthday is today, (January 27th) and it’s the only day of this long ass month that I’ve forced my spirit to walk in positivity; so that I could speak with authenticity when I sent her well wishes. » I decided around January 3rd that I wasn’t even going to attempt being productive until February. My friend reminded me that it’s hibernation season, and that was all the confirmation I needed. » I love winter and hate summer as well.

2025-01-27 20:49:59 +0000 UTCI’m not a winter girlie, fall is my preferred season…. I only tolerate winter and the month of January bc my birthday is January 21st 😂 but once my birthday is over I’m ready for spring 😂😂😂 Kenya, cousin, I am sorry you felt so sick, that sounded horrible! And I’m glad you’re feeling better 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿
