getting out of a rut
hello. after some new year reflecting, i realised that i was stuck in a rut for the second half of 2024. it was a horrible place to be filled with negativity, lack of self confidence and apathy. now, on the other side of it, i wanted to share some things that helped me get through this rough patch.

a love letter to january

end of year reflections
มุมมอง 509หลายเดือนก่อน
heya. it’s my last video of 2024! the year went slow but very quickly picked up pace towards the end. this video is very chilled and relaxed… make yourself a cuppa and get cozy! i reflect on the year that’s been and i’ve come to the conclusion that life is just like spotify wrapped… it’s all data. i want to use this data to learn and grow and that’s the attitude i’ll be bringing into 2025! see ...
alone but not lonely

hey! here is another chat and journal with me. lately i’ve noticed that i’m feeling very lonely in large group, social settings. it’s made me realise that, right now, i prefer to enjoy my own company and hermit away. i’ve been taking myself out on dates (i saw wicked by myself!) and it’s been really satisfying and rejuvenating! friendships ebb and flow, and right now i’m in my hermit phase, and...
fashion & personal style (wardrobe clean out!)

hi! bit of a different video… i’m really inspired by emma chamberlain and mina le’s recent videos. in part with travelling and growing up a little, over the past year, my style has significantly changed. i thought it would be a great opportunity to reflect on this while doing a much needed wardrobe clean out. time to say goodbye to things i’m not wearing anymore! enjoy my fashion ramblings and ...
putting myself first and saying no to things

hello! i’m still working on resting and recovering and this week, i’ve discovered a big part of that is knowing what i want and saying no when i’m not up for it. i think we all have a little bit of people pleasing in us but i didn’t realise how detrimental it can be when i really put myself out of the way. i’m loving this video format i’ve put together (chatting and then journalling what i’ve s...

omg yay! i have someone who gets it. grey hairs gang unite! 🫶 hny love, wishing you a magical 2025!

i can't believe how fast 2024 went omggg. i'm also pretty sure that everyone's spotify wrapped was wrong because they decided to use a faulty AI instead of hiring an actual team, so if it felt off it probably was sadly
it went by in a blink! ahhh that makes so much sense…stats.fm, that’s what i’ve been using and i love it 🫧🎶
gorgeous little video, hope you enjoyed twilight xx
thanks indya!!! twilight was the best (as it always is!) 🕯️🎀🫧
i feel you hard on the transitional period, i’ve essentially broken up or drifted apart/moved on from literally 6 friends in the span of a couple months which has been crazy. i felt really lonely or different somehow :-// anyway, i think the fact that you’re happy to hang out with yourself and be comfortable w your own company will rlly help bc you’ll always have you!! and if you enjoy you then so much the better :-)) proud of u! 💖
ALSO YAYY love your collage content 🍀
thank you bestie! your comments always make me smile. we have each other! can't wait for your next upload 🫶
jade!!!! i loved hearing your perspective on clothes and personal style, i think my closet is very much made up of pieces where it’s like only this shirt can go with this skirt and it’s difficult to style multiple ways. so you’ve inspired me to do some thinking too!! i’m a huge thrifter and vintage enthusiast too but wanting to be even more conscious in the way i interact with fashion now :-)))
OMG...leeann this made my day!!! please do a wardrobe / personal style video because i admire all the fits in your vids 🫶 can't wait for another lemongacha vid soon. big hugs ✨💕
im so happy you're back to posting!! I love watching EVERYTHING you share. you inspire me to start posting too. love ya jade!!
ahhh you're the bestest!!! can you pleaseee start posting so that we can do an epiccc vlog together!!! miss you so much and so glad to have you as a friend 🫶 love u xoxo
This spoke to me. I'm having the worst mental time right now, freshly living alone in uni in a different city. Everything is just so overwhelming and I don't know how to cope nor how I'm gonna cope when I'm supposed to be an "adult". Thank you for your honest videos, this helped me breathe
ty 🫶 adulting is really difficult at times! wishing you all the best and hope you settle in soon ✨💕
I’m a bit late to this video, but I just want to say that your feelings about having your citizenship revoked are completely valid. Some of the other comments feel a bit dismissive, like saying you don’t need ethnicity/citizenship to live your life and its not a big deal-but the truth is, your ethnicity and culture shapes so much of who you are and the way you experience the world. Citizenship can be such a meaningful representation of your connection to your roots, but it need not be the only one. I hope you know that with or without it, your culture and everything it has given you will always be a part of you, no matter where you are. Wishing you all the best. 💛
tysm for this heartfelt comment...it felt like a hug 🫶🏽 i really resonate with what you've said and i'm so glad someone understands where i'm coming from! after visiting singapore recently, i'm in a much better place about it all but i want to say thank you again for this comment 💚 wishing you all the best ✨🎀🌷
Crying is a good thing and what we need to do to release our big emotions. Also you have to remember as a girl our hormones are always in us and our periods really affect us more than you think. We really only have 1 good stable week. 1 is our body preparing for a possible baby then the next week is us feeling it mentally and the third is our period. Also did you make the floral thing on your doorknob? it’s pretty!
this is sooo true and something i didn't even consider!!! ty for sharing 🎀✨ i did not make it, my friend georgia did...she's so talented! you can find them on ig @geo_illo 💅🏽🫧
love the new format! and keep going, you're on the right track :)
thanks enzo :) hope you’re doing well!
loved this vid :-) and the haikus & collages !!
tysm !!! :)
proud of you diva 🫧💕
thanks diva :)
loved this chat, i've been feeling so similar lately so i'm so with you. lots of love !! <3
ahhh ty, miss you so much!!!
its not that uncommon really. pretty much all the korean americans around me gave up their citizenships and honestly thats more of a privilege than not having an american citizenship at all…youre not special and its really not that deep
You don’t need ethnicity to live your life just appreciate yourself and move on with your life.
easier said than done..
@@starrysara.xoxo2Exactly, especially looks.
you're really wholesome
I stumbled upon this video by accident and subscribed. I will tell you a little bit about my story so you can maybe feel better, or at least have a different POV. I was born in the USA, raised in Latin America (two different countries), and then I returned to the USA for university and then stayed to work. I’ve struggled with the exact same issues you described in the video (with the exception of having to renounce citizenship). All of my life I have questioned… What am I? Am I American or a foreigner who just happened to be born in America? What I realized is you need to be proud of your story as a whole. Even though the USA has many Latinos, almost none of them lived in two different Latin American countries and speak perfect Spanish. I’m guessing you’re Australian of Singaporean descent and maybe you lived in Singapore for some time. Well, not many Australians have that story. So own it, because even if you don’t have the Singaporean citizenship officially, your roots are still there. Your family ties are priceless. I hope this comment made you feel or at least think differently! Don’t be sad, be happy :-)
Sending love 💌
Great video Jade thanks for taking the time to touch on this subject. And when things get better you'll feel 10 times better xD Cheers, and keep going forward 🥂
Think of creativity in terms of seasons. Sounds like you've hit a winter. Time to rest, reflect, and get rejuvenated <3. I'm glad you listened to your body when you were tired. Don't worry, you're not letting anyone down if you're taking care of your well being. Your friends will understand and there will be more social engagements in the future! Your lived experience cannot be taken away by paper. Keep expressing and writing your story, your history, and place all those stepping stones to get you where you want to go through your art and life! Home is where the heart is. Wishing you only but the best - auntie on the internet~
Sorry you are not Asian anymore and have lost your genetic identity. You are not a “Asian person of color” but rather a White Caucasian.
it was an inevitable 💕
Thank you for talking about this Jade ❤
Yo, your value isn't determined by your ethnicity. That's sweating the small stuff. The bigger question is, are you happy and content with who you are as a human being? All that other stuff is a distraction. If you are doing your best, that's good enough for the cosmos. Theres no blueprints to life or the human experience. Don't be too hard on yourself. The universe will cease to exist one day, so it's all good! Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel the same ways, at times, the exhaustion of existence and the guilt that comes with varying degrees of self-introspection. Its all good though, you're doing your best bud.
my beautiful jade, i so appreciate your vulnerability. you are so strong and i’m sorry that this revocation has hurt you so deeply ❤️🩹 i wish i could just curl up in bed with you and we could watch movies and talk. i love you jade and its hard right now but it wont be forever, your citizenship has nothing to do with the beautiful, talented, multifaceted loving human being you are today. ❤
totally understand where you're coming from, same as you, i have both australian and hong kong citizenship, and I cannot imagine any of them being taken away from me. I think for years, having both of them led to a lot of inner-searching of cultural identity and i have finally come to a point where i am happy with where i stand in them and how they define me. This must have been so difficult for you and my heart goes out to you ❤
it's very interesting that you establish your favourite day of the week based on the shows you watch haha
atm it's thursday's cause new housewives of salt lake city!!!
looking gorgeous as ever! that lighter is so julia!
just for you cause you're so julia x

Love this chat, I feel so similarly to you in many many ways! I watched while I put my make up on too hehehe 🥰💌
thanks girly!!! can’t wait to see your next video 🩷🫧
I feel like we all go through this phase between our twenties and thirties where we don't want to go out as much, we learn to stop seeking validation from our peers (and so we can truly appreciate others' worth without feeling inadequate) and we understand the value of our real friends. Basically you're finding yourself and that's awesome! Also yes relating to songs through personal experience >>>
this comment made my day, like one big hug 🎀😁🫧 thank you enzoooo!!!
Love seeing you back on here!! Your process is inspiring me to be more hands-on with my written expression:)
