My ex divorced me behind my back in 2009. I stayed with a friend until my apartment was ready and cried the first night… But I grew to love it and yes the divorce “diet” is something else. Let me tell you ! I accidentally joined theater and now I’m a constant performer and I love it. It’s everything I didn’t know I needed.
Hi Jodi! I am so sorry for what you went through ❤️ that must have been so painful. I am so glad you had a friend to help you through such a hard time and that you found something that could bring you some joy and maybe even some healing ❤️🩹 and goodness do I relate to crying in my apartment. It’s just such a change, I think we needed some time to process it before we could really enjoy it? So happy you are here and I look forward to connecting with you on here more. Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️
@jodischoolcraft9188 I totally get it. The best gift that type of person can give is the gift of leaving us alone so we can reignite the light in us they put out.
I think that once you are settled in and cozy, you will gain weight. Stress is a factor now and that causes weight loss. Good luck. It will all come together.
Hello Nancy! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment ❤️ Stress can definitely play a part for me regarding my eating habits. I am the type of person who finds it difficult to eat when I am anxious 😬 But it is getting better! I look forward to connecting with you on here! 😊❤️
There is alot of value in your content, please know that. Somewhere there is someone in your situation that needs to see that they are not alone. I feel like a good # of people need to start over and feel anxious and apprehensive and or isolated. You posting will help someone. I am subbing and I dont know why you have so few subs. Keep up the good work!!✌🏼😊
Oh…my…goodness. This is the absolute nicest most encouraging comment I have ever received. You have completely made my day, my week, my month. I really needed to hear this, as it’s tough putting yourself out there and just hoping your videos will be helpful to someone! Because that is all I want to do; for other people to know they are not alone, and together we can get through this! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. I can’t begin to explain how much this really means to me. ❤️
I've stayed in an apartment for 20 years. When I had issues with neighbours and music etc I would say "hi, I just thought I'd introduce myself. I've moved into the apartment below /above you". I found that would always make people a little more 'aware' of any noise they made. After that it would be a kind reminder etc. Love your apartment and it's open space, light and view etc. New sub xx
Hello Tara! Wow that is amazing! Were you in the same apartment for 20 years or different apartments? Either way, you have a lot of wisdom to share 😊 I love your approach to letting the neighbors know you are there. It is much better than waiting until we are super annoyed and then banging on their door lol 😂 Kindness goes a lot further ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing and for becoming a sub! That means so much and please share any other tips for apartment living you have on any of my videos. A lot of first time apartment people on here looking for some tips 🥰 So happy to have you here and I hope your day is wonderful!
Hi Tawni! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! These really make my day 🥰 I am so excited for you to have this experience of having your own place. I grew so much in this season and so did my confidence of what I was capable of. You got this!!
Hello Sherry! Thank you so much! It is the beginning of a great adventure and I am looking forward to the future ❤️ I have family in Florida (Tampa area) and it will be so great that I will be closer to them now! More opportunities for family visits! ❤️ I hope your day is wonderful and thank you so much for the encouraging comment!
Hey Jess! With regards to driving I lived in the US for a year and I’m from South Africa. Getting used to driving on the other side of the road was hard, but what I suggest is drive during peak times. Open Waze and just gps to somewhere where you know you will have a bit of distance and then select leave later. You will be able to see the peak times. In that way you will be able to see where other people drive and get used to the roads a bit more. Also when you get takeout, drive there, don’t order in, so you can get more familiar! Good luck! 🫶🏻
Hello! Thank you so much for this comment! This is such helpful advice ❤️ I agree There is no better way to learn than with practice practice practice! I am finally starting to know the roads a bit better and I celebrated when I could finally go to one location without a GPS 😬❤️ I admire you for living in another country for a year and really putting yourself out of your comfort zone. That is the best way to grow and the best way to live! Thank you again so much for sharing this ❤️
Hello and welcome! So happy you are here! ❤️❤️🥰And thank you so much for the encouraging comment. That really means so much to me as I am still a newbie at vlogging. ❤️
Hi Jess! When I relocated from one town to another and got into my apt - I had a hard time falling asleep. It was too quiet and in a new place sure was different. I just had clothes and hygiene products when I moved in. Had to go to Walmart and get food and cleaning supplies . The apt was partially furnished. My Mom and Grandma went and got things to help me with apt. Which I gratefully appreciated. They remodeled the apts. I had to move from upstairs apt to apt on ground floor. I was blessed with the first apt remodeled. I got to know my neighbors and they are all friends of mine now. I have 9 neighbors. Only 10 apts here. I know my way around. Near me there is a. Aldi and Dollar Tree and Walmart. The Aldi and Dollar Tree opened up after I had moved in my apt. I love living alone . Sometimes I get lonely . I then hang out with my friends. My apt is full now. Have tv laptop Roku DVD player. I got a new dining room table from Rooms To Go. Have a new bed set from Ashley's. Have alot more since I moved in. If I ever have to move it's going to be a huge undertaking. So very blessed. God gave me a new home and nice new things.💜
Hi Melissa! I think it is so great that your mom and grandma helped you with your apartment. It is so nice when you don't have to make that transition completely alone ❤️ Thank the Lord for family! Also that is such great news that you have your apartment full and just how you like it. It really is such a great thing to see the progress of gradually adding more things. It makes you really appreciate what you have. ❤️ So happy for you🥰
Oh my goodness 😭❤️ thank you SO MUCH!!! I can’t tell you how much your comment and just your overall support means to me, especially as a new vlogger just starting out❤️ so happy to have you here! Your encouragement is such a gift!
Hello Rachael! That’s awesome! Are you from TN or did you also move from out of state? Either way I am sure you have great wisdom to share about Tennessee and I look forward to connecting with you on here! So happy to have you! 😊❤️
@@jesslookingup Thank you! I'm from here. I will help you anyway I can. 😊..I did move away for a few years when I was in my 20s but came back...looking forward to your adventures!
Aww yay! I am so excited for you! This whole experience is really stretching and growing me in ways I never thought possible! It is a great adventure and I am so excited you will be experiencing this too! Please keep me posted on how it is going 😊❤️ I would love to know!
Hey there Jess 👋🏾 Saw Your Content on My fyp & thought, let Me see what She’s about & as You were talking I’m like She comes off as such a Sweetie & then decided to become a Sub 😊 Here’s praying GOD’S Blessings upon You & all of Your Endeavors 😇 🙏🏾Be Blessed🙏🏾 ~MsSharon J~
Hello Ms Sharon J 😊 Oh my goodness what an encouraging comment! 🥰 This really made my day. Thank you so much for giving my video a chance and for your support and prayers. It really means so much to me! ❤️ I hope your day is amazing!
New subscriber here. I have the same problem only I'm too fat. I have all the same experiences and feelings. You are going through a huge change. But you will be successful. Take care ❣️. Peace 🕊️
Hello Amy! I am so happy you are here! ❤️❤️❤️ It has definitely been a struggle to shut out what the world tells me is supposed to be normal and beautiful regarding my body. I am working to get better at just being healthy and at peace, whatever that looks like. It is easier said than done! Thank you so much for your openness and encouragement. That takes a lot of compassion and courage and I am so thankful you took the time to leave this comment ❤️
Amazing! I vlogged my drive out there with the route I went and the hotels. You might find that helpful. That video should be on my moving playlist 🥰 Excited for you!!!
I have horrible upstairs neighbours they are loud, and heavy footed and have a dog… I cannot tell you how much noise cancelling headphones have changed my life
Hi Rebecca! Okay we totally have this in common. My neighbors are also heavy footed with a dog lol. I can tell when it gets the zoomies. Sounds like a horse 🐎. Noise cancelling headphones are so great and have helped me too! Great tip 😊❤️
Oh baby girl i feel your pain regarding your weight i am underweight due to chronic ill health i have been trying for over a year to gain the weight but it is so difficult if i take my eye of the ball. I also dislike how i look now and i refuse to go out much as i am so critcal of myself and self conscious . I am interested to watch your progress and get some tips. I am a psychiatrist by trade but its so difficult maintaining your own mental health . Stay strong jess u can do it look how far u have already come going through a divorce and relocating ...px
You are my people Paula! It is so refreshing when someone understands. ❤️ so happy you are here 😊 thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I think it is one of the many admirable traits to be able to give encouragement to strengthen and uplift others even when you are going through your own trials and hardships. I am so sorry you have been through what you have, and I really hope things start looking up for you ❤️ You are right, it is hard to take care of our own mental health, and in my opinion, harder than helping someone else with theirs. It can seem like a monstrous and overwhelming thing. But please know you are not alone. There are so many people like us that are going through things which is why I started this channel…to find a community of people that need encouragement and give encouragement, to build hope and courage to have new beginnings and see the light even when we are surrounded by darkness. ❤️We can do this❤️

I say it was the absolute best gift that abusive alcoholic ever gave me he just gave it to me in the worst way, if that makes sense !

You need a white noise machine to help block out the neighbors. Lol
Eventually it’ll be better. Hopefully.
Hello! You and I are on the same wavelength lol. I got an air purifier for my room that doubles as a white noise machine and I love it!
