    I met this girl at Imagine around 2018. I was alone by myself and wasn’t having a great time. She was my first experience with the PLUR community. I went to EDC 2021 by myself because of this girl. Because of her I’ve been to so many events. thank you :)

    I am so sad to hear this but I am happy you are putting your health in first place. I honestly cannot thank you enough for all the content and information you put out there. You were the first person I started following when I started going to festivals. Because of you, I have been able to go/ plan for Tomorrowland, EDCLV and Escape. I wish you nothing but the BEST in life and I hope happiness is present every single day in your life. Take care ❤

    Thank you So much Cotton Kandi. You've made a difference in this community. I'll never forget when I met you super drunk in the restroom of EDC 2021. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZING. CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE BEST VIBES. I'll always miss you!

    Girly I’m glad you’re putting yourself first! You were definitely one of the main reasons I was so well prepped for all my festivals I’ve ever attended. Thank you for everything you’ve done and created for us all! I’ll be camping at EDC for the first time! I hope you still have a great time at EDC! Wishing you nothing but the best in the future!

    Being a content creator feels extremely fake and it completely changes the way you enjoy real life because you are doing it for the enjoyment of others. Its ok to step away, you're allow to enjoy other hobbies. I've enjoyed many of your videos and they have helped me out with my rave experience. Hope to see you one day at EDC Orlando if you're ever in attendance!

    So great to hear from you, and I support you in every way. Please let me say - you have done SO MUCH for me! Your content has always made me feel so good, so connected, and brought so much joy. During pandemic lockdown, you and your content literally kept me alive! You helped me feel so not alone and gave me hope that we would rave again, and we are! You’ve always been so kind and awesome and fun when I’ve been able to see you at festivals, I do hope I get to see you again at EDC this year. So thank you, and please know that you have helped and carried me through some stuff! If there is ever anything you need from me, you’ve got a friend. Peace out for now, and cheers to whatever is next! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I went to edc for the first time in 2019. I didn’t know what to expect or how to prepare for it until I came across your vids and I’m so happy I did. Your wisdom got me through those 3 days! It would’ve been rough without all that info. From the bottom of my heart thank you, god bless you on your journey🫶

  • @ivorysiren22
    @ivorysiren22 Год назад +2

    I'm happy you're putting yourself and your health first, I discovered your content a couple years ago and it really helped me get that "push" to attend EDC this year for my first time❤ I appreciate everything you've done and I wish you the ultimate best in your life 🥰🥰

    Hope it isn't your last! Your videos helped me get to EDC 2023 without a hitch. It was a surreal experience. Stacked lineup, craziest fireworks I've seen (it'll be really difficult to beat, if ever!). Made so many new friends and had the most mindblowing experience. So thank you and hope to see you some day!

  • @danielledostaly7342
    @danielledostaly7342 Год назад +3

    I think we as humans can put pressure on ourselves to be all in or out , I really don’t see the harm in leaving it “open”! If you want to go to a festival and create content go for it! If you don’t ! Just don’t! You’re a very talented vlogger and why limit yourself and say “never” and “goodbye” ! But the choice is yours! Thank you for everything over the years!

    Hello Cotton Kandi, I just saw your final video on YT and I just want to say as a natural born mexican who was raised in the U.S. it's been and pleasure seeing you throughout all these years. As a younger kid I would watch your videos hoping and praying I could one day experience all of these wonderful adventures as you have. It's the end of an era and I'm so privileged to have stumbled upon your videos that have helped me a lot actually, with my own adventure and travels throughout the u.s. I hope I finally get the chance to meet you in person at EDCLV this year for your final hoorah and say all of this face to face. THANK YOU & I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors! And all the PLUR physical possible, I've suffer through depression and its definitely not easy! I really wish you best and hope you find that spark again and fan the flame until it burst into a raging fire. With love....💕

    Dear Kandi, thank you so much for your videos.
    Last year i attendet my first festival (Tomorrowland) at only 20 years. Because of covid i wasnt able to go to a festival before That or Even Go clubbing.
    You really helped me to prepare in the best way possible for it. So i had everything i needed because of your Videos. Also it was really good for me to See how the vibe is at an edm festival and how the people behave. Im an really introverted Person so for me it was a really Important to know That before i go there.
    I had an excellent First festival attendence and i will go there this year again. And maybe one day i will Make it to edc las Vegas or ultra Miami.
    Greetings from Germany and thank you very much.

    Hey girl! First of all, that's great that you're honoring yourself and your new chapter. Social media is exhausting!! I try to use it with intention and set boundaries. I had to make the tough decision of not going to EDC this year so I could focus on my long term goals. I still have footage from fests 2 years ago I plan to post eventually. Doesn't matter if it's "late," someone will want to watch it eventually! Crossfit seems too intense on the body. Take good care of yourself!! Thanks for your contributions to the community. ❤❤ wish you well on your journey! Have a blast at EDC 🎉

      When one goes, another one will take it's places in raving content creation. She was my 2nd inspiration to do my own channel. Hope she goes well. I will carry the raving stick from here on out on my channel.

    Hi friend. I’m so happy to see a last video. I definitely see a difference in you here from your previous videos. You energy in this video seems more zen, relaxed, calm. So I’m proud and happy for you that you are doing much better. Yes social media is very toxic so I think you are doing the right thing.
    I hope to see you at edc. I hope that although you won’t be doing social media anymore, it’s okay to come up to you and say hi :)
    I’m happy to hear you’ve been working out. Sorry you’ve been getting injuries though.
