Last year, I really wanted to see a film in the theatre but nobody in my friend group wanted to. So I went by myself. It was a really small theatre and I sat there with like five other people that all went there by themselves as well. We didn’t talk to each other, just enjoyed the film and laughed together. And then I went home, marvelling in the post-theatre feeling in silence, just feeling, no talking. I still think about this day and cannot recommend it enough: If you want to do something nobody else wants to do, just do it by yourself!❤
You're so right, Jade - but unfortunately a lot of people confuse solitude with loneliness. To my mind it's only **unwanted** solitude that equals loneliness. There is nothing more satisfying than solo afternoon cinema trips, museum trips, book-shopping and sitting alone in cafés for hours just watching the world go by. 😊👌👌👌
My god you are good for my mental health
This is wholesome to see. Self love truly is a must these days.
Totally this, many people think you need to be in a relationship to be "truly happy", so they just focus on that as an objective instead of focusing on loving themselves (:
We love jade's solo dates it just gives such warm and cozy vibes her energy makes me feel happy!!..♡♡
I spend most of my time alone, I love my own company. at school I was called a ''loner'' and mocked because I preferred being alone
Jade, thank you so much for sharing your story about your first relationship. Your words touched me deep, it made me realize I’m not the only one having experienced this kind of relationship. It shattered me, but I always thought this was just me being weak. Thank you for telling, I wish you all the love in the world. ❤
This video could not have come at a better time, Jade. I just wanted to say thank you for posting this - I needed it. Your first solo date video was your first video I ever watched and it truly shifted my perspective. I was back home during my gap year and it helped me romanticize and fall in love with my life. Over that year I became so comfortable with solitude and felt so confident in who I was. Now as a senior in college, I’ve been feeling more lost than ever - craving that self-assured version of me who was inspired by your video. Hearing you speak today to your experience of growing and learning and you too craving HER (you from the past) made me feel so seen and understood and also normalized that this is all a journey and we never really lose that part of ourselves. We can always return to HER because she’s always been there.
Obviously the whole video is so meaningful, but as someone with audio processing issues (I’m autistic) I really appreciate the subtitles being on the video itself, as closed captions aren’t always accurate. Thank you for another lovely, uplifting video Jade ☺️💜
I feel you so much for the first relationship being the worst. Thankfully doesn't happen to everyone but my first relationship made me miserable and questioned my body image for years, (I was 15 in my first relationship, now I am 23). Whoever you find it should be someone who supports you all the way through.
I really love going on dates with myself and when I hang out a lot with other people for weeks and don't make time for it, I really miss it. As an introvert (kind of), it's so re-charging for me and I highly recommend trying it :) I feel like the best thing about hanging out with people is the conversations, the exchange of stories and thoughts, and the making of shared memories. But the best thing about doing activities on your own is that you can truly and - for a change - without any compromise or discussion do intuitively whatever you want to do, when you want to do it and at what pace. You have so much space to focus on and appreciate these activities, to slow down, look around and just enjoy them without anyone else's input. That can be going to the cinema, or going swimming or having a coffee in a café and reading and only leaving whenever you feel like it, or solo travelling as well. For me, that is so important, it makes me feel so free, and I love it as much as doing something with friends, family or my partner. It never occurred to me that it can feel somehow awkward for other people, I personally always felt really good about it, so maybe it depends on how you approach it. But the most important thing is always to do whatever you like and what you feel comfortable with, that is so personal and everyone's needs are different. :) Just listen to yourself and what you need, what makes you feel happy, and not so much to what you think society expects of you. :)
JADE you are so amazing we all love you so much and we're so proud of how far you have come, you are such an inspiration
yay a new jade video! my casual magic this week was having a chai latte and cake in the park before i revised for my geography exam! it was fab early autumn vibes :))
Jade, you are the sunshine and a blessing for everyone here! you are thriving, keep it up!! :')
I was cleaning my room while listening to your video in the background. When you started that little breathing exercise, I stopped in my tracks, sat down on the floor an joined in. Afterwards I couldn't stop smiling. It is so nice to see meditation and breathing exercises so wonderfully implemented in social media, it felt like, for a moment, all people watching and you creating were able to connect, beyond borders of time, a screen or language :)
Solo dates are absolutely gorgeous !!Keep doing such videos Jade in order to remind us the beauty of it!❤❤
Thank you so so much jaded🥹 you’ve really taught me a lot💖
Love it Jade, beautiful words and beautiful imagery to go with it!
Jade, are you a ray of sunshine? because you just made my day with this video
thank u Jade! This video came at the right time, im walking away from someone toxic and having doubts, thank u for the affirmations !!!
The beauty of this video, in returning my calm, my clarity and my confidence is amazing, and I always love that by the end of Jade's videos, I'm so uplifted that the outro music makes me dance ❤
TE AMOOOO
You are such inspiration Jade ❤
I reallly needed this!!! I'm sorry you had to go through a relationship like that, I had one too. Nasty times but very important teachings about boundaries and how you allow others to treat you. Lots of love Jade!!!
Jade, you're such an inspiring and amazing person! 💕
Jade, pls do your own guided meditations!! You’re the motivationally calming energy we need 🙌🙌🙌
Today I've been so miserable for a hard time due to a toxic relationship that ended up with a cruel betrayal. With this video you've brighten up my evening, thank you Jade, from the bottom of my tender, sad and still so strong heart ❤
Somehow this video made me cry and smile at the same time. I love your energy so much, you are a really inspiring person.
I love this video, you are such an inspiration
Not much of a commenter but just wanted to say, Jade, I've been following you since before your a-levels. You are one year ahead of me and so it's such a comfort to see you thriving and imagining how I'll be in a year's time! I am so grateful for my last year of uni and seeing you graduate and continue living so inspirationally is just awesome! Thank you x
I actually always loved your first date with your own self video where you even sang Genesis (yey!). It would always bring me a sense of peace when I needed it the most, having not gone on dates by myself that much yet in part because of the lack of really green spaces around me or even just being tooooo used to the online world but I do feel like I've grown a lot to care about myself and love myself and love being with myself!
Nice warrior 2!! and i loved the shot composition during the garden chats :)
Love you so mcuh Jade, thank you for always reminding us that we are enough for ourselves.
i´ve been having a rough week mentally so just thank yuo for this video. it made me feel a tiny bit better and more positive towards myself
What a beautiful video❤
So inspiring!
I have moved in my life twice to a new city or even new country completely on my own. But now that I'm fully comfortable in my new home with my partner, doing the dates with myself I find very difficult. However I was kinda committed to it and I always had wanted to go on a little trip alone, so I went 2 days alone to Prague (where I don't speak the language but had been once before with fam). And omg has this experience empowered me :)
I got to spend a every second of the day just observing what I want and listening to that. I had to go alone to restaurants and cafés and in just 2 days it has become way easier now. I hope I keep training the muscle of doing things alone for myself, to keep what I've learned in this trip forever with me❤🦋
Such an inspiring personality ❤
You grow so gracefully and into the most beautiful person you are 😭🤍🦋
I really enjoyed this video Jade❤ thanks
Loved this video!! Especially the end
Thank you so much Jade!! This inspired me so much at a time where I feel so lost with myself after a break up 🥺
This is so wholesome!!! Thank you for this! ❤️
I am actually doing the vipassana meditation you went to because it was so inspiring and I felt scared but ready to give myself a chance!! Thank you for putting your mind and feelings out there for us!! ❤️❤️✨
such a sunshine ❤️
Jade, at this point your videos, to me, feel like coming home. You have shaped my core values so much over the past few years, and I couldnt be more thankful for that! I am proud to say that I already enjoy alone time quite much, but ist is (and was) a long journey. Last tuesday I went on a big hike (in the alps, where i am for an internship atm) by myself for the first time ever, and it was beautiful❤
Sending you a biiiig hug,
Hannah
it is such an English Rose day! Jane Austen would have loved your day!
Jade, I go things on my own. I go to the movies on my own all the time. I even once saw an outdoor play in the park by myself in the evening. I do grocery shopping on my own. I eat in restaurants by myself.
Hi Jade, I absolutely love this video that you made. I personally find it so easy to be all up in my head, which makes me even more anxious than what I was, especially when it comes to school and studying for my finals in high school. Thank you so much for being so open about your struggles and helping me find better ways to cope with my own!
Awwn love you Jade 🩷
Your videos like this helped and still helps me so much to love myself and take care of myself little more......I see that meditations are so powerful and it helps me gain more clarity.........And you're so right "NO ONE KNOWS US BETTER THAN OURSELVES".......I love these videos so much🥰🥰 Looking forward for more..... Thank you so much SIS🤗🤗
Finally I'm seeing the type of video that introduced me to your channel! Off topic but in the morning i feel so nervous that I feel like I will throw up. Something I do to cope with this is just focus on my breathing. So I agree with you when you mention how breathing releases the tension and anxiety of your body.
JADE YOU ARE ALMOST AT A MILLIONNN SUBSSS!!
What a beautiful video ❤
Thank you for this video, Love u so much🥰🧡🥰🧡🥰🧡✨✨🍂🍂
Great video! I’ve been going out by myself a lot recently, I love it. I like to write and draw, as well as just do nothing and just look at my surroundings:)
I love this Jade!! I live near Edinburgh and every week go there on my own, and I always have a lovely day!! I bring my book and my lovely classical music, and just enjoy it. I feel proud to enjoy my own company and I’m so pleased you make these lovely videos! xxx
I've been watching your videos while I'm in the shower because I'm trying to shower again after years of not being able to because of epilepsy and its reallyyy scary!! just as I was about to get out I got to the part of the video where you asked me to breathe and omg u are so so helpful
7:49 This was the first video I saw of yours and it was so good! You looked so confident in yourself and found myself wondering how I could be like that. I'm so glad I subscribed and followed your journey!
I love you so much jade🎀🌸🌼🌻🎍
Breath is such an amazing book! I’ve implemented some of the practices and it’s definitely changed my life for the better :)
Jade, breathing is so important for me and my well being that I like to do it by the trees.
You have taught me so much Jade..... basically transformed me from a negative pessimistic person to a positive one....thanks alot...stay blessed
Love this Jade ❤
Big big love!! 🥹🦋
Hi Jade! You are a wonderful human, and I always feel light and inspired after watching your videos. Do you happen to have any podcast recommendations for self care/development?
I actually wanted to try headspace, but didn't feel like paying straight away. So glad I get to try it for 60 days instead thanks very much!
Thank you 👍 very much for adding subtitles 🙂🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
amazing video jade
A sunshine ☀️
Just made a solo trip to australia and girl I loved every moment of it ❤
I’m sorry you went through such a toxic relationship, no one deserves that
Have you ever thought of making a guided meditation? Bc your voice is just sooo 🥺🌻🌠🌿 I luv it
ahh living alone rn for the first time! this video really helped
I remember your early self date from 3 years ago !!!
I had to adapt years ago to being alone and doing solo activities. It is a way for powerful growth! 😊
I missed these solo date videos 🥺🥺🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍
They’re one of my favourites to make 🥹✨
It can be helpful to carry a self-defence device when going to certain places alone. 💡
I have full time carers. And I struggle with my lack of independence and not being able to do stuff alone. But I’m trying to be creative in finding ways that I can do things independently. Today I managed to go for a 10 mile walk alone in the Peak District and keep safe and well. This is HUGE for me and I feel so empowered right now. This video came at a great time when I’m still on a high from realising I can be my own best friend,
Jade, please, please, u should start a meditation podcast, I just would love a guided meditation with the sound of your voice❤️🥺😍
I'm early finally 😭🤍
aaaah hiiii 🥰🥰🤍✨
I am going on a solo date myself tomorrow ! It will be a museum and park day all for myself 🌸🦋
I'm in a similar situation as you Jade. A former extrovert and people pleaser who was forced to come back to my hometown to reevaluate my life and plan my next steps. Mine was due to an illness that zapped my body (betterish now with medicine), but still the same circumstances nonetheless. You know what? I have learned to enjoy my Introvert phase and my Exile On (Name Removed) Street, and have really loved getting reacquainted with this person named Jason. Finding out my likes and dislikes away from a relationship or friend groups or team work enviroment . You and I will make it through this phase (as well as anyone else not quite where they wanna be) and come out better people for it, but only when the time is right.
How come you always manage to turn around my day?
I just booked a trip to Madrid for next week. I have never been anywhere on my own for longer than a day and while I am very excited to see this city and go to a ballet I am also pretty scared because I don't know what will happening. The only thing I could think about while booking was why wait? and I think that's stronger than the fear. Thank you for encouraging us to love ourselves and do things on our own.
I’m about to finish university and the anxiety is definitely peeking 🙈
first time being this early omg
omg you’re so on it hiiii 🦋🥰✨
I think you Vegan is great. My roommate at work for the summer was Vegan. It was difficult for her to eat. She made it happen. I feel being alone solitude is blessing in disguise that people connect to be alone is bad. I made my own decision to study Chinese in Taiwan for 9 months went there by myself. Going to meet people. Nice don’t have to rely on parents 24/7 to do something independent.

Hi, my friend, It's very Interesting video, thank you a lot
🔥
Jade, your videos are reaching so many people so fast, please consider making educational videos about why a person goes vegan (animal activist) I know you know you can reach alot of people, veganism begins in our hearts not in a book, please let it grow
Just a reminder, always where a helmet when you go out on a bike ride. Safety first.
Cool video
Im an infj personality.
*TH-cam should ban ALL food content🤤🤤 even vegan!*
_You deserve to not question your worth around others_ - Jade. I needed this.
13:01 I ha,te how most bath tubs have one side glued to a wall so you can't put the other hand out. They ought to be in the middle of the bathroom.
First!
i from germany and do many thinks allone its better =)
Me who’s been alone since the day I’ve been born :🧍♂️
You could not do so in 80s and 90s coz you had no social media to have in backdrop to not feel the lack of social interaction
