Hi Jade, I love that you want to engage in relationship with spirituality.. I believe the only, best and peaceful way to is to come to Jesus Christ. You're a sweet soul and Jesus has made a way for you and everyone to be their best self and also have a wholesome loving relationship with Him. I hope you reflect on this and also study and seek to know Jesus as well ❤
Jadeeeee you neeed to make a video about EVERYTHING about friendships: how to make friends, how to grow friendship, how to let go. You inspire me so much ilyyy❤❤
You have SUCH a gift with words Jade. That written piece was mind blowing, vulnerable, and gorgeously articulated. Keep journaling!! And keep them documented!! Thank you so much yet again ❤💎
what i heard was hilarious....I heard "we had pizza, we had sex and then...." and I was what?? 5 people who did not know each other?? I never mishear things on your channel but i went back and realised it was snacks !!! not sex....
I was reunited with my favourite word recently, "sonder", which means: "The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it." I think we can all find strength and community in our collective yet individual struggles ❤ Always reminds me of the power of kindness.
You dated someone for three years and then ended it over a phone call? You didn't talk in person? And this person did not hurt or betray you? They did not mistreat you? And you still love and miss him? And you feel like it was a dream relationship you always wanted? I feel like not all the details have been provided. Otherwise, this is some real narcissism modern relationship stuff. It's almost like because our generation lives in the safest time, that we have to go and create dramas to feel important and busy. And if there was a reason for a relationship break down (you fell out of love, or they mistreated you in some way, or there were clashes that were not going to work etc), then you should probably disclose that. Otherwise the idea that people are 'randomly' going to be broken up with by people who 'really love them' is a dangerous notion to normalise. Masquerading discarding someone and running away as self development is a joke. Did you two try couples therapy? Did you talk it out? Did communicate with the person you invested 3 years into? That's self-development. That's growth.
9:25 "i craved my independent 16-year-old self, hidden safely in her books, heart untouched and whole." JADEEEEE PLS THIS MADE ME TEAR UP😭i am seven months post-breakup and also a year since discovering that i too, am queer (nonbinary & aroace!). with the help of medication and determination, i have found myself now, at 23, feeling drawn to the things i devoured prior to romantic relationships and even technology, like reading again, going to the library, the desire to volunteer at places. i had to let the leech as you put it, drain me, and it still is, but i think it's almost done. thank you for being so vulnerable. sending you so much love💎
Can I just say it is amazing that you wrote that in an hour, you express your thoughts do beautifullyy, my diary is just full of 'lols and whatevs' 😂 also it felt like listening to my own life, being 16 driven and independent and then 22/23 in a loving relationship but feeling trapped
Hi Jade, I have to say that's as the most honest and transparent I have seen anyone be online and I truly appreciate it. Im a 30 year old Irish gal about to move to London in September for a 2 year MSc in Physiotherapy. I first truly experienced the loneliness of London last summer during an internship, and I am feeling very nervous and apprehensive about moving there again to experience the loneliness all over again. Isn't it astounding that in a city packed full of people, we feel the loneliness! Anyway thank you for your honesty in your videos. It's so refreshing and just what I needed to hear today. Stay safe and well. Perhaps il bump into you on the pearly streets of London ☺💕
💎 As a person who has English as a second language, omg, your writing is stunning. I love that as a British, you use various vocabulary and use the language in such a beautiful way. I saw your story about John O'Donohue's interview on his book Beauty and immediately listened to it. It touched me so much when I needed it most. I bought Anam Cara and Beauty. I really can't wait to start reading them. Thank you for inspiring us in the most authentic way, Jade. ❤
Vulnerable videos are great; but I felt I should comment on this... I think the idea of "feminine energy" and "masculine energy" is the opposite of feminism. There's a dangerous strand of "spirituality" that looks like empowerment but it's actually just reaffirming sexist ideas about gender binaries as if they are inevitable, whereas they are just our current social order, and part of gender liberation is getting rid of these notions that put people in a box. (There's more nuance than that but this is just a short online comment so that's the best I've got.) 💎
I can definitely see this argument!! But I see it as more of a yin (traditionally feminine) and yang (trad. masculine) that we all possess and isn’t connected to one’s gender. Everyone’s goal, regardless of their gender, should be to balance feminine and masculine energy. I don’t think one type of energy is dominant or more important; they’re both powerful and necessary. To me, femininity is about embracing softness, healing, play, creativity and courageous vulnerability, while masculine energy is about challenge, striving, healthy competition, motion etc. Men need to cultivate feminine energy just as much as women need to own masculine energy. I’ll definitely think more about how they perpetuate existing gender binaries!! I’ve also never resonated with the strand of spirituality that talks about “dark femininity” or how it shows up in relationships etc. But my current definition has served me in my thinking so far 🦋 thank u for sharing!! x
Thank you! I felt like that too. Terms like "feminine and masculine energy" can be so dangerous. There's nothing wrong with wanting to rest and not wanting to hustle. But labelling rest as feminine and work as masculine just upholds sexist, patriarchal stereotypes. These terms get used by the alt right to promote the opposite of feminism, we shouldn't use them.
@@UnJadedJade Thanks for giving it some thought and a reply :) Here's my further thoughts, about separating what is good and what is oppressive from what you say. I agree that we should balance different types of energy, and that neither are more important, and agree with lots that you say! Lots of thinking is like this, some good and some bad, or a good surface hiding something rotten underneath. It's the gender essentialising nature of it that I think is bad. The idea that men need "feminine energy" and women need "masc energy" -- I agree with what it's about. Women should be strong and courageous and so on; men should have calm and caring and so on. So this aspect of it is good for empowerment and challenging gender norms and move us to a better place. But at the same time, this masks entrenched sexism. why is being dominant seen as "masculine energy", why is being gentle seen as "feminine energy"? This treats the gender roles that we have as being essential to gender. But we see cultures where women are typically strong and commanding, and cultures where men are more calm and gentle. It's our social ideas projected onto "nature" to reinforce our social ideas. (And also it reproduces the idea of the gender binary, instead of more fluid and free ideas. Opposite of queer, in other words) So I think we would do better to think of these different types of energy and finding balance without gender essentialising nonsense! Take the good ideas and shed the bad. Hope those further thoughts are welcome :) x (There is also a difference between what this thinking means for men and women under patriarchy, but this has become too much of an essay as is...)
this is something I thought about too - I've been seeing so much of this language of "divine feminine", "feminine energy", etc being used to explicitly say that women's natural place is in submission to men, and that rest = feminine and work = masculine, that women = private, men = public. it just doesn't quite sit right, and it feels like a weird rebrand of really harmful gender roles that we just managed to start freeing ourselves from. Would be super curious to hear Jade chat about this aspect and this nuance in a future video, since I know it doesn't represent spirituality as a whole - it'd be interesting to hear her perspective on it.
This entire rude awakening from hyper-independence and the hurts that come with living, really living, in touch with your needs and feeling and all, I relate to it entirely. It is extremely humbling, extremely painful as someone who's been nearly identical to you as a teenager. Thank you for sharing this. It made me feel connected, especially being surrounded by people who never seemed to have this jarring curve ❤💎
he richness of life does not come from being alone FOR YOU, but for some prefer being alone, always remember you are speaking from your own perspective, your opinions and perspectives are not facts, for me i am happiest when single, i have been in many relationships, very happy ones where i was so in love. however for me and many women proabably older than you, we prefer to be single, i dont even have friends but i am so happy, with me my cats, my art. studies have proven single childless women are the happiest and healthiest demographic. however society conditions women that we need men to be happy, this is false
In the realms of beauty, she shines like a star, Her radiance surpassing, near and far. Her eyes, like pools of celestial light, Draw hearts closer, igniting love's might. 🧿❤
Hey Jade! I'm only 16 right now, but whilst watching this video I got the urge to put down a comment for the first time - it actually makes me a bit nervous. But I just wanted to say that watching your emotionally frank and humane videos really help during the stressful time of taking GCSEs right now. You inspired me to be self-compassionate and you allowed me to acknowledge the importance of honouring my emotions! So thanks sm! :)
I moved alone to Australia at the beginning of this year and the homesickness has really been hitting me lately. I was literally writing yesterday about how it's so hard sometimes to be an adult and be expected to always pick yourself up. Some days you're thriving but others you just want a hug and to be safe with people who know you. Thank you for being so vulnerable, just opening up and talking about these kinds of experiences can bring a lot of comfort. Sending lots of love from down under!! 💎🩵✨️
“Is iomaí bláth a chuireann óige di” is an old Irish seanfhocail (proverb) that my Irish teacher gave me before leaving school 2 years ago and one I often think of. It roughly translates to “There are many layers to youth”. I am currently in a similar situation to you Jade, battling between being independent and dependent. To me, this proverb reminds me that we can be both, and that that’s ok!🦋☘️
💎 Aarrgghh sweet Jade. You just.... inspire me deeply. As a 24 year old -in her post burnout, heartbreak and spiritual era I resonate to your content so much. Your realness, rawness and your vulnerability in sharing these bits of yourself are so valuable. You've mentioned before how you feel the internet needs more realness (agreed) and I feel like you're a prime example of being the change you want to see (slay). As someone who creates content too (on a VERY different scale and a different genre) I often overthink too on what to share, how to share that etc., how things are being perceived and if I'll be understood. But you're a beautiful reminder to me on how this intimacy can bring so much connection. Honestly.. can we just exchange digital friendship bracelets, sit on a bed in dim lighting (salt lamps & fairy lights) with hot tea, read tarot cards, philosophise about life, meditate and share our feelings?
Hi Jade!! I've just seen this video and I felt the need to write. I've been following you for a while and having discovered this little corner of the internet is one of the most healing and beautiful things that has happened to me this year. You know, we live in a society that wants us to believe that living fast, following new trends and doing what the majority does without even reflecting about it... is the right thing to do. If you want to act differently, just to be original and yourself is very frustrating sometimes. My intuition tells me not to be like that, but then I ask myself, "Am I the only one who doesn't want to follow the mass?". Then I see your videos, and I see this beautiful person you are and I just feel so happy because it proves that I am not alone and that there is people like me, who think like me and want to show their true selves to the world, not a mold that the masses have created. Jade, you're a VITAMIN PERSON, you make others feel better because you radiate positive energy, but most importantly because you are unique. You have helped me so much these last few months. I feel more conscious and spiritual, not afraid of embracing and loving my authentic self. I still can't believe how brave you were in sharing this with the world. It's amazing. And this channel is art, you are art. We love you, Jade💜🌻🦋 PS: your smile has healing powers, don't ever stop smiling!💎🥰
Jade your timing is soo good! I was just having a bad day , i totally lost all my motivation to keep going....... feeling very low today for some reason! .......but then you posted this video , i needed to hear this! You inspire me soo much ! 💗✨
jade!!! your piece was so so beautiful. you are so good at articualting your pain. as someone who has experienced something very similar recently, i relate to you on such a spiritual level. i just wanted to come on here and i say i am so proud of you. it takes so much strength and courage to take the step that you did. i also find it so crazy that someone living on the other side of the world somehow so perfectly encapsulates all of my fears about adulthood. so much love and power to you jade. you make me feel less alone in this arduous journey.
The way you’re true to your emotions during this period in your life is so inspiring to me. Having recently broken up with a serious partner, I often feel that parasite within me as well. Thank you for your vulnerability. ❤️
Jade, your videos feel like a warm safe hug. I feel so seen, so human. I appreciate you being so vulnerable with us more than anything, creating this wonderful lovely welcoming corner of the internet. This is a safe space that i hope we can all come to when we need that sense of comfort and encouragement. We are never alone in what we are going through . We are so proud of you. You are a gem 💎!
I don’t usually comment on anything but you are such a beautiful and special person and I’m sure you know that but it needs to be said! This channel is my safe space and I’m learning that whatever happens in life everything will be okay. Thank you for sharing your journey of life 💕
Jade, you are THE gem, you have no idea how much i needed this! 💎 It's crazy, because i'm on a long car ride rn (not driving myself) and i was feeling the post-breakup blues so intensely, and then my thoughts moved on to "i wonder how Jade is coping" and next thing i know, i get the notification for the most relatable video...! Thank you ❤️
💎i've been seeing you on youtube since last 5 years, i've seen all of those journeys via this small corner of internet, and i feel like i myself went through soo many phases and glow ups and glow downs all these years, but however the times were, i always kept coming back to you, and this place. Kinda felt like i grew up with you..all along this journey. And i just wanna say this that you always makes me strive to become the better and most authentic version of myself. I never go empty handed from any of your video you make. Thanks for being one of my most unjaded casual magic of all time on this internet!!🌻
Jade showing off her crystals and tarot book is so cute and wholesome 🥰 spiritual girl era is here!! 💖✨💎 P.s. this is my favorite type of content of urs everrr
14:50 No offense but i think building things , learning new things and getting out of comfort zone is not just masculine trait . All these can be feminine trait also . Stating them as masculine trait would be inappropriate (No hate towards Men) 😊. Anyways i love your videos and i hope you have a great future UnjadedJade😊.
Hi Jade! As always, such a beautiful video! The piece you read was mind-blowingly beautiful. It was raw, it was beautifully written, it contained bits and pieces of normal life layered with deep emotions and reflections. It was absolute art. I think it could even maybe deserve a whole video of its own. It was truly, truly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you so much for this video. My breakup is 2 years ago and I still am not over it. Thank you so much for sharing. It helped me so much to accept my own feelings more. When I broke up I feel like a lot of people were like “yes but you are young …” “yes but you have your whole life before you …” “yes but but but …” I feel like partly why my healing process is taking so long is that I have the expectation that it should be ok by now. Which it is not. Actually I’m kind of proud that it’s taking so long, because it shows that I took this serious and it’s not as easy as everyone says. Actually kind of proud of myself
Hey! You may not hear this a lot, but how you feel is valid. Break ups are super hard, and to be honest, we can't control how we feel for someone else. It just happens. I bet you are doing great things for yourself and trying your best! I personally broke up with someone who I knew I loved more than they loved me. It's been 5 months. Today is her birthday and it really sucks not to be with her. I think you have a wonderful perspective on how you feel, and I fear I may not be over this for a long time as well. I know I took my relationship very seriously for sure as well. Getting over a relationship that meant so much to you is so hard. I hope this can get easier for both of us.
Your writing is beautiful and felt really relatable in a way that made me feel both sad and happy simultaneously. Thanks for your vulnerability, I think you touched a lot of people in a positive way 💕
As someone who lives in London, same age as you and someone who sees themselves as similar to you, I want you to know how strong you are❤️ I love how you embrace your vulnerability and there’s tremendous beauty and strength in accepting it and growing from it. We are all proud of you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Jade, You might not ever read this comment or maybe this has been on my heart for anyone else who needs to read this so I will share it. I am so grateful to have found your channel and for you sharing your beautiful and your vulnerable moments with us. It seems like you are looking for something to fill a hole inside. But neither can tarot cards, nor cristals, nor any other things fill that 'something' within you. Only Jesus and his unconditional love can. As I decided to follow him, this will be the last video of yours I watched, since tarot card reading or any other practices like this do not align with a living God who set us free. You may not believe in his existence and I might be an alien in this community for anything that I am saying here but regardless, to anyone who's reading this: I want you to know that Jesus loves you so so so much! I know that he is with you all the time and I am praying for you that he heals your broken heart. May you be reborn as a new creation in Jesus. Love & be blessed! 💎
I was crying watching this. There are moments in life that make you question a lot of things, a lot of possiblities. And there are obstacles and hardships too. I want you to that I love you Jade. You’re so strong. And although I am only 17 I feel you ❤
Hi Jade! It really does feel like I am catching up with my friend when I watch your videos. I loved listening to your writing, the way you use words, it was so beautiful and powerful.❤ It also brought me so many thoughts on my on life and dealing with both break-ups and loneliness. 💎💎❤
These are my favourite kinds of videos from you jade! I love your honesty, it makes me feel so heard and understood. I've learnt how to sit with my uncomfortable emotions and find beauty in the fact that life is never constant. Thank you
Omg Jade you don’t know how much I needed to watch and see this video I’m going through the same same thing. I had this calling to break up with my ex because I was so stuck and stressed in life and the relationship was not going anywhere and things started to fall apart as expected. I went on long journey of healing and after a while I have visited family and I felt better as soon as i started living alone the blues were crazy and I blamed my self for feeling sad and I started regretting the decision again and felt so alone and I thought I’m not normal and something is wrong with me but after seeing this video I cried and cried feeling so relieved and supported. Thank you Jade and I’m sending you so much love 💎❤❤❤❤
Jade, you beautiful, kind soul!! You are a light in the world!! Thank you for sharing the deepest parts of you. You have no idea how many people you help unconsciously… sending you so much love❤
I love Jade, but I'm whole hardly heartbroken for the person she dated. In life, we have to break someone's hearts sometimes, but oh boy I hope he's not watching it, because that would be tough.
Hi Jade, I was waiting for your new video and can’t wait to watch it! ❤️ You helped me through a life changing journey the last few months and my little journal is full of quotes that you said. Your videos mean a lot. 🦋
💎 jadeeeee thank you so much for sharing these parts of your life with us!!! every time i watch one of your videos i feel so seen :)) i currently dealing with a question of spirituality and faith, but as a stem girlie it feels so counterintuitive to lean into that! it’s so nice to hear that we don’t have to pick one or the other but that whatever makes us happiest is the best choice
💎 hi Jade! This is such a beautiful video (I’m obsessed with your writing!), thank you for being so genuine & open. I’m 20 and I’ve never been in a romantic relationship, so while I can’t relate to the roller coaster of going through a breakup, I can relate to the struggle of wanting to be simultaneously independent-to care for yourself-and to be cared for. I think your content really has a way of helping people feel connected through these types of shared experiences, and I hope reading the comments helps you feel less alone too 🫶🏻
Hi Jade. Thank you, first of all, for opening up to us. You are a true inspiration for out generation, an make the internet feel like a safe space, and not such a draining place. I am going through a tough growing up process (according to my psychologist) and it's so hard. I feel seen by you, and I love watching your videos. Would love to hug you right now. Thank you for everything, our jewell ;) 💎
Gosh Jade, hearing you read your journal was so emotional and confronting but so beautifully written and cathartic. I’m dealing with so many big emotions as I’m going to university in September, and I’m not ready to leave school or my friends or my support system here. It’s so hard to process but you have made it so much easier. Now I’m off to find a journal, and buy some tarot cards. Love you! 💗 💎
💎 I totally get the logic -vs- spirituality dilemma. I'm a PhD researcher, my entire way of working 9-5 is to think critically, logically, rationally... But when you go through seven years of cancer and a divorce at the same time, the woo-woo inevitably gets ya 😆 and I agree 100%, both can exist concurrently, and make the other more beautiful as a result. You are so wise, Jade. Thank you for being brave and so generous in your vulnerability. X
Jade! This is the first video of yours I've watched. I got goosebumps when you mentioned receiving The Artist's Way. Just while I heard your journal entry I thought to suggest this book to you. I have started the programme once before and abandoned it but I have just started it again this morning. One month ago I had a stroke; I'm young and it's been tough but I'm recovering well and decided now is the time to do the Artist's Way oncemore. I also love to write and I can not recommend it more to you or anyone how wants to start creating consistently! The fact I picked this book up again during a hard time and hearing how it arrived on your doorstep again shows me that this is a magical book. There is so much meaning to be found in the toughest stages of life. Good luck to you and everyone who is struggling 💜
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story. I can’t imagine how difficult the stroke and your recovery has been 💛 I’m so glad The Artist’s Way has been so healing for you and this is even more inspiration for me to start the programme!! Lots of love
I recently broke up with my boyfriend for similar reasons. He is an incredible person (emphasis on incredible) but this part of me kept getting louder and louder. I am having difficulties trying to not regret my choice to leave this person but to move forward and your video helped me put words on so many emotions. Thank you so much jade 💎
💎 I am in day 2/3 of breakup that I initiated and I miss him so much. I so agree with the line how did I dare let go of someone who cared so much about me. and am constantly craving updates on how hes doing. which I have no right to know and shouldnt know. I hope hes ok
Jade, you are right that being an adult is quite stressful because you have take many responsibilities such as careers, shopping, and doing chores. I know because I find being an adult extremely stressful. I wish that I could go back to childhood years where I did not have to take any responsibilities and just be happy and play and not worry about getting diseases such as cancer. What you wrote was beautiful.
Hi Jade, gems here 💎 I really love this video. 5 years ago I went through a brutal phase of my live in which I was forced to deal with both a breakup (he left) and two family deaths (my grandma and my cousin). It all happened in a matter of 3 months and it was horrible. I was a completely different person then that I am now it was trully q rebirth. He left in may and by october I hopped into annother relationship because I was feeling sooo lonely and broken. I don't even remember a lot of that time, sometimes I even forgot that it happened. That whole year I was trully and honestly scared to be happy (and that even now brings tears to my eyes). Because everytime I was happy something was taken away from me. I was scared to attach myself to something or someone that will eventually go away, that I went into all my relationships since then with one foot in and one foot out. And that looked different in every situation. Sometimes all I did was falling in love with someone I knew didnt love me or couldnt love me so I didnt have to commit. I'm not that person anymore and even though i still have that "leech" (its a great metaphore btw), I have grown around it and not instead of it. All this is to say that I trully love how conforted and safe I feel watching your videos. It makes me feel less alone always. Thank you Jade 💗 Tight hugs from Spain 🫂
4:27 how do you write so poetically in your journal? It’s awesome! You can even publish it like a book someday. I write in such raw language and use so much abbreviation that I sometimes forget myself what they mean 😭.
The part about craving your 16 year old independent self, heart untouched, safely in her books- felt that one back when I walked away from a tough relationship many years ago.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing you post breakup written piece. That was truly something special. Your use of language is so skilful but accessible, you truly have a gift!
Watching your videos truly encapsulates my own feelings towards my recent breakup. It was the right thing, but the loneliness and self-doubt that comes with it is so difficult. I found that because all of my friends are in relationships, it’s so hard to get away from those feelings of loneliness and like you’re missing out by not being in a relationship. You just have to remind yourself that this is a time to nurture yourself, and that in itself is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us 💛
💎💎💎 I've been here since before your graduation journey and at that time i was graduating from high school, i graduated years later than most of my friends, they were already in their university era and i feel so behind in life ashamed and also that was when my depression started to worsen. After finishing high school i should have started university but i didn't, i spent a whole year rooting in bed speak to no one and processing a break up that I realised I never truly processed. It was devastating, it still feels like that most days Thank you for being you and creating this space ❤
❤thank you for the video and bravery to be so open and sharing personal journey online. Also, I just love how you make even things completely outside of my interest, seem fascinating. I never thought of being into it, but hearing you talk I can see what you see there - how beautiful and unique natures creations can be. Architecture of color and light 💎
💎Wow! This is just an amazing video, it really feels like we are sharing life updates through FaceTime. Thank you for sharing Jade! The words at the end made me almost cry. As I'm now less than a month living on my on for university I understand certain feelings you are going through. The loneliness is sometimes unbearable but this little corner of the internet and your past videos have made me sit in de moment en take the time to feel all the feelings life throws at me right now. Thank you for being here💙
hi jade🦋 thank you for your honesty and willingness to share your thoughts and feelings so vulnerably - your words were beautiful and the leech metaphor was brilliant. you‘re such an inspiration to me and remind me to be kind to myself. sending you so much love and patience and good energy
I definitely feel the same way about journaling, and this video really is just reminding me to take the time to sit down and let my thoughts flow onto the page
💎💎💎 hiya jade!!! Oh my gosh I love you and your videos so so much!! I was on a trip and i was so excited, but when your video came out that was the highlight of my trip 🥹🥹 i am currently struggling with a sort of friend break up and it’s been so hard because like you said, some days we feel sad and guilty sort of and the next we feel like it’s the right choice so hearing someone else talk about this made my day. I really really appreciate you and i hope you are able to overcome this and p.s. I’m also in my spiritual era and we’re vibinggg ✨💓 love you jade, xoxo Charlotte from cali
💎💎 I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’d love to know how you are so sure that you made the right decision breaking up despite all the difficulty and emotions you’ve had since? Amazing video xx
Hmm for me it was how hard I tried to make things work. I persistently wanted our relationship to be the right thing for me long-term, but my niggling sense of not-rightness never left me, even after over a year of the trying. If your feelings are persistent, even when tested, it’s probably a sign that you’re denying the need for change. 💛 I also love tarot cards etc because they’re a great tool for reflection - whatever it reveals about what you “should” do is an opportunity to see how you react; often that gives you the answers you need
💎I absolutely adored this video Jade… the vulnerability you give us Jade, like we’re your close friends, is so honouring And I just feel so deeply connected to you, and learning with you…. The whole section on spirituality and how you are entering this phase of your life is so eye-opening and just enhances my creative juices ten-fold, just purely by how the topics you bring up just expand my perspective… I just feel like anything is possible when I see you Jade💎
The way you write is so special. I'm in grade 11 and I have ministry exam in June. I have the feeling its going to be this kind of text for my exam. Thanks for the example.
hiiiiii friends!! let's catch up like we're on facetime
Well, thats facetiming a lot of people!! Hah
@@joaodotcodes hahaha I love that whenever I meet you guys in person it feels so seamless to get to know you!!
Jade keep living✨
Ralph Smart says in his videos he’s Facetiming his audience from out in nature ☀️😎
Hi Jade, I love that you want to engage in relationship with spirituality.. I believe the only, best and peaceful way to is to come to Jesus Christ. You're a sweet soul and Jesus has made a way for you and everyone to be their best self and also have a wholesome loving relationship with Him.
I hope you reflect on this and also study and seek to know Jesus as well ❤
2:15 oh my god i misheard it as something elseeee and i was like whaaaaa
Me too lol
I genuinely can’t understand what she’s actually saying hahahah
hahahaa wait this is so funny, it's pizza and SNACKS gurl
Nah but what did she really say??
Sameee
Jadeeeee you neeed to make a video about EVERYTHING about friendships: how to make friends, how to grow friendship, how to let go. You inspire me so much ilyyy❤❤
She already did one video on friendships :) th-cam.com/video/zE2V0QkVByc/w-d-xo.html
You have SUCH a gift with words Jade. That written piece was mind blowing, vulnerable, and gorgeously articulated. Keep journaling!! And keep them documented!! Thank you so much yet again ❤💎
what i heard was hilarious....I heard "we had pizza, we had sex and then...." and I was what?? 5 people who did not know each other?? I never mishear things on your channel but i went back and realised it was snacks !!! not sex....
HAHAHAHA this is too funny
😂😂 I rewinded it twice to make sure what I hear. And I still hear ‘we had pizza and sex’
I also had to rewind 😂 I wasn't prepared for THAT level of evolution😂
@@kullererbsenbucher4672 exactly, it is one thing to say British people are open minded and another for 5 strangers to have ....
I was reunited with my favourite word recently, "sonder", which means: "The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it." I think we can all find strength and community in our collective yet individual struggles ❤ Always reminds me of the power of kindness.
there’s a cafe I really love in Cape Town South Africa with that name 🥹
You dated someone for three years and then ended it over a phone call? You didn't talk in person?
And this person did not hurt or betray you? They did not mistreat you? And you still love and miss him? And you feel like it was a dream relationship you always wanted?
I feel like not all the details have been provided. Otherwise, this is some real narcissism modern relationship stuff. It's almost like because our generation lives in the safest time, that we have to go and create dramas to feel important and busy.
And if there was a reason for a relationship break down (you fell out of love, or they mistreated you in some way, or there were clashes that were not going to work etc), then you should probably disclose that. Otherwise the idea that people are 'randomly' going to be broken up with by people who 'really love them' is a dangerous notion to normalise.
Masquerading discarding someone and running away as self development is a joke. Did you two try couples therapy? Did you talk it out? Did communicate with the person you invested 3 years into? That's self-development. That's growth.
I can't agree more with u. I hope there was a real reasonable reason behind her decision
9:25 "i craved my independent 16-year-old self, hidden safely in her books, heart untouched and whole." JADEEEEE PLS THIS MADE ME TEAR UP😭i am seven months post-breakup and also a year since discovering that i too, am queer (nonbinary & aroace!). with the help of medication and determination, i have found myself now, at 23, feeling drawn to the things i devoured prior to romantic relationships and even technology, like reading again, going to the library, the desire to volunteer at places. i had to let the leech as you put it, drain me, and it still is, but i think it's almost done. thank you for being so vulnerable. sending you so much love💎
🥺🥺🥺 wow, thank you for sharing
Can I just say it is amazing that you wrote that in an hour, you express your thoughts do beautifullyy, my diary is just full of 'lols and whatevs' 😂 also it felt like listening to my own life, being 16 driven and independent and then 22/23 in a loving relationship but feeling trapped
Jadeeee your voice, it is so therapeutic, your gifts of creativity are truly flowing, your energy a blessing
bless you, thank you for sending *your* gorgeous energy my way
that piece had me sobbing, crying and it felt like someone was speaking my heart out!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love you jade. we got this
🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
2:15 am I hearing that right?? 😭
bruh i said pizza and snacks 😭
Hmmmm… yeah i had to replay that too. Of course you can have that thing with others but still with people you dont know anything about…
LMAO i didn't even notice how that sounded-
Hahaha same I had to replay that 😂😂😂
@@UnJadedJade OMG I WAS SHOCKED 😭
Hi Jade, I have to say that's as the most honest and transparent I have seen anyone be online and I truly appreciate it. Im a 30 year old Irish gal about to move to London in September for a 2 year MSc in Physiotherapy. I first truly experienced the loneliness of London last summer during an internship, and I am feeling very nervous and apprehensive about moving there again to experience the loneliness all over again. Isn't it astounding that in a city packed full of people, we feel the loneliness! Anyway thank you for your honesty in your videos. It's so refreshing and just what I needed to hear today. Stay safe and well. Perhaps il bump into you on the pearly streets of London ☺💕
Agreed, love your authenticity Jade! Such a great quality, making you relatable :)
💎 As a person who has English as a second language, omg, your writing is stunning. I love that as a British, you use various vocabulary and use the language in such a beautiful way.
I saw your story about John O'Donohue's interview on his book Beauty and immediately listened to it. It touched me so much when I needed it most. I bought Anam Cara and Beauty. I really can't wait to start reading them. Thank you for inspiring us in the most authentic way, Jade. ❤
Truly! In the most authentic, uplifting way. Your writing gave me goosebumps!
Vulnerable videos are great; but I felt I should comment on this... I think the idea of "feminine energy" and "masculine energy" is the opposite of feminism. There's a dangerous strand of "spirituality" that looks like empowerment but it's actually just reaffirming sexist ideas about gender binaries as if they are inevitable, whereas they are just our current social order, and part of gender liberation is getting rid of these notions that put people in a box.
(There's more nuance than that but this is just a short online comment so that's the best I've got.)
💎
I can definitely see this argument!! But I see it as more of a yin (traditionally feminine) and yang (trad. masculine) that we all possess and isn’t connected to one’s gender. Everyone’s goal, regardless of their gender, should be to balance feminine and masculine energy. I don’t think one type of energy is dominant or more important; they’re both powerful and necessary. To me, femininity is about embracing softness, healing, play, creativity and courageous vulnerability, while masculine energy is about challenge, striving, healthy competition, motion etc. Men need to cultivate feminine energy just as much as women need to own masculine energy. I’ll definitely think more about how they perpetuate existing gender binaries!! I’ve also never resonated with the strand of spirituality that talks about “dark femininity” or how it shows up in relationships etc. But my current definition has served me in my thinking so far 🦋 thank u for sharing!! x
Thank you! I felt like that too. Terms like "feminine and masculine energy" can be so dangerous. There's nothing wrong with wanting to rest and not wanting to hustle. But labelling rest as feminine and work as masculine just upholds sexist, patriarchal stereotypes. These terms get used by the alt right to promote the opposite of feminism, we shouldn't use them.
@@UnJadedJade Thanks for giving it some thought and a reply :)
Here's my further thoughts, about separating what is good and what is oppressive from what you say.
I agree that we should balance different types of energy, and that neither are more important, and agree with lots that you say! Lots of thinking is like this, some good and some bad, or a good surface hiding something rotten underneath. It's the gender essentialising nature of it that I think is bad.
The idea that men need "feminine energy" and women need "masc energy" -- I agree with what it's about. Women should be strong and courageous and so on; men should have calm and caring and so on. So this aspect of it is good for empowerment and challenging gender norms and move us to a better place.
But at the same time, this masks entrenched sexism. why is being dominant seen as "masculine energy", why is being gentle seen as "feminine energy"? This treats the gender roles that we have as being essential to gender. But we see cultures where women are typically strong and commanding, and cultures where men are more calm and gentle. It's our social ideas projected onto "nature" to reinforce our social ideas.
(And also it reproduces the idea of the gender binary, instead of more fluid and free ideas. Opposite of queer, in other words)
So I think we would do better to think of these different types of energy and finding balance without gender essentialising nonsense! Take the good ideas and shed the bad.
Hope those further thoughts are welcome
:) x
(There is also a difference between what this thinking means for men and women under patriarchy, but this has become too much of an essay as is...)
this is something I thought about too - I've been seeing so much of this language of "divine feminine", "feminine energy", etc being used to explicitly say that women's natural place is in submission to men, and that rest = feminine and work = masculine, that women = private, men = public. it just doesn't quite sit right, and it feels like a weird rebrand of really harmful gender roles that we just managed to start freeing ourselves from. Would be super curious to hear Jade chat about this aspect and this nuance in a future video, since I know it doesn't represent spirituality as a whole - it'd be interesting to hear her perspective on it.
This entire rude awakening from hyper-independence and the hurts that come with living, really living, in touch with your needs and feeling and all, I relate to it entirely. It is extremely humbling, extremely painful as someone who's been nearly identical to you as a teenager. Thank you for sharing this. It made me feel connected, especially being surrounded by people who never seemed to have this jarring curve ❤💎
he richness of life does not come from being alone FOR YOU, but for some prefer being alone, always remember you are speaking from your own perspective, your opinions and perspectives are not facts, for me i am happiest when single, i have been in many relationships, very happy ones where i was so in love. however for me and many women proabably older than you, we prefer to be single, i dont even have friends but i am so happy, with me my cats, my art. studies have proven single childless women are the happiest and healthiest demographic. however society conditions women that we need men to be happy, this is false

gahhh thank you for being here and for your lovely words!! 💌
@@UnJadedJade thanks to you jade for being with me supporting through your videos. 🧿❤
your ring is so so lovely. it compliments your eyes in the prettiest way!
eeeep thank you so much!! my mum got it for me for my birthday and i love it so much
Hey Jade! I'm only 16 right now, but whilst watching this video I got the urge to put down a comment for the first time - it actually makes me a bit nervous. But I just wanted to say that watching your emotionally frank and humane videos really help during the stressful time of taking GCSEs right now. You inspired me to be self-compassionate and you allowed me to acknowledge the importance of honouring my emotions! So thanks sm! :)
I moved alone to Australia at the beginning of this year and the homesickness has really been hitting me lately. I was literally writing yesterday about how it's so hard sometimes to be an adult and be expected to always pick yourself up. Some days you're thriving but others you just want a hug and to be safe with people who know you. Thank you for being so vulnerable, just opening up and talking about these kinds of experiences can bring a lot of comfort.
Sending lots of love from down under!!
💎🩵✨️
I'm also in Australia! Although I've lived here my whole life. Which state are you in, if you don't mind sharing?
“Is iomaí bláth a chuireann óige di” is an old Irish seanfhocail (proverb) that my Irish teacher gave me before leaving school 2 years ago and one I often think of. It roughly translates to “There are many layers to youth”. I am currently in a similar situation to you Jade, battling between being independent and dependent. To me, this proverb reminds me that we can be both, and that that’s ok!🦋☘️
💎 Aarrgghh sweet Jade. You just.... inspire me deeply. As a 24 year old -in her post burnout, heartbreak and spiritual era I resonate to your content so much. Your realness, rawness and your vulnerability in sharing these bits of yourself are so valuable. You've mentioned before how you feel the internet needs more realness (agreed) and I feel like you're a prime example of being the change you want to see (slay).
As someone who creates content too (on a VERY different scale and a different genre) I often overthink too on what to share, how to share that etc., how things are being perceived and if I'll be understood. But you're a beautiful reminder to me on how this intimacy can bring so much connection. Honestly.. can we just exchange digital friendship bracelets, sit on a bed in dim lighting (salt lamps & fairy lights) with hot tea, read tarot cards, philosophise about life, meditate and share our feelings?
💎 Aww your content looks so cool! 🧡
When you said that the leech might be reborn as well I cried. You were so nice to a dark part.
Hi Jade!! I've just seen this video and I felt the need to write. I've been following you for a while and having discovered this little corner of the internet is one of the most healing and beautiful things that has happened to me this year.
You know, we live in a society that wants us to believe that living fast, following new trends and doing what the majority does without even reflecting about it... is the right thing to do. If you want to act differently, just to be original and yourself is very frustrating sometimes. My intuition tells me not to be like that, but then I ask myself, "Am I the only one who doesn't want to follow the mass?".
Then I see your videos, and I see this beautiful person you are and I just feel so happy because it proves that I am not alone and that there is people like me, who think like me and want to show their true selves to the world, not a mold that the masses have created. Jade, you're a VITAMIN PERSON, you make others feel better because you radiate positive energy, but most importantly because you are unique.
You have helped me so much these last few months. I feel more conscious and spiritual, not afraid of embracing and loving my authentic self. I still can't believe how brave you were in sharing this with the world. It's amazing. And this channel is art, you are art. We love you, Jade💜🌻🦋
PS: your smile has healing powers, don't ever stop smiling!💎🥰
Jade your timing is soo good! I was just having a bad day , i totally lost all my motivation to keep going....... feeling very low today for some reason! .......but then you posted this video , i needed to hear this! You inspire me soo much ! 💗✨
jade!!! your piece was so so beautiful. you are so good at articualting your pain. as someone who has experienced something very similar recently, i relate to you on such a spiritual level. i just wanted to come on here and i say i am so proud of you. it takes so much strength and courage to take the step that you did. i also find it so crazy that someone living on the other side of the world somehow so perfectly encapsulates all of my fears about adulthood. so much love and power to you jade. you make me feel less alone in this arduous journey.
The way you’re true to your emotions during this period in your life is so inspiring to me. Having recently broken up with a serious partner, I often feel that parasite within me as well. Thank you for your vulnerability. ❤️
Thank u for sharing your journey with us my cutie Jade. You're glowing and I love you so much💕✨
You're a gem! 💎
no YOU're a gem!! you're always the cutest, thank you ily
Jade, your videos feel like a warm safe hug. I feel so seen, so human. I appreciate you being so vulnerable with us more than anything, creating this wonderful lovely welcoming corner of the internet. This is a safe space that i hope we can all come to when we need that sense of comfort and encouragement. We are never alone in what we are going through .
We are so proud of you. You are a gem 💎!
You should become an author 😃, your journal was so good like a proper novel.
I don’t usually comment on anything but you are such a beautiful and special person and I’m sure you know that but it needs to be said! This channel is my safe space and I’m learning that whatever happens in life everything will be okay. Thank you for sharing your journey of life 💕
Jade, you are THE gem, you have no idea how much i needed this! 💎 It's crazy, because i'm on a long car ride rn (not driving myself) and i was feeling the post-breakup blues so intensely, and then my thoughts moved on to "i wonder how Jade is coping" and next thing i know, i get the notification for the most relatable video...! Thank you ❤️
💎i've been seeing you on youtube since last 5 years, i've seen all of those journeys via this small corner of internet, and i feel like i myself went through soo many phases and glow ups and glow downs all these years, but however the times were, i always kept coming back to you, and this place. Kinda felt like i grew up with you..all along this journey. And i just wanna say this that you always makes me strive to become the better and most authentic version of myself. I never go empty handed from any of your video you make. Thanks for being one of my most unjaded casual magic of all time on this internet!!🌻
Jade showing off her crystals and tarot book is so cute and wholesome 🥰 spiritual girl era is here!! 💖✨💎
P.s. this is my favorite type of content of urs everrr
Please publish this into a BOOK!!! Omg. Seriously Jade...

14:50 No offense but i think building things , learning new things and getting out of comfort zone is not just masculine trait . All these can be feminine trait also . Stating them as masculine trait would be inappropriate (No hate towards Men) 😊. Anyways i love your videos and i hope you have a great future UnjadedJade😊.
JADE you are truly a blessing 💎 You deserve a comment section that feels like home because you genuinely inspire each and every one of us.
Hi Jade! As always, such a beautiful video! The piece you read was mind-blowingly beautiful. It was raw, it was beautifully written, it contained bits and pieces of normal life layered with deep emotions and reflections. It was absolute art. I think it could even maybe deserve a whole video of its own. It was truly, truly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it!
2:15 the way she said it so casually I was like wow Jade is spicy now ;p
Pizza and SNACKS
Thank you so much for this video. My breakup is 2 years ago and I still am not over it. Thank you so much for sharing. It helped me so much to accept my own feelings more. When I broke up I feel like a lot of people were like “yes but you are young …” “yes but you have your whole life before you …” “yes but but but …” I feel like partly why my healing process is taking so long is that I have the expectation that it should be ok by now. Which it is not. Actually I’m kind of proud that it’s taking so long, because it shows that I took this serious and it’s not as easy as everyone says. Actually kind of proud of myself
Hey! You may not hear this a lot, but how you feel is valid. Break ups are super hard, and to be honest, we can't control how we feel for someone else. It just happens. I bet you are doing great things for yourself and trying your best!
I personally broke up with someone who I knew I loved more than they loved me. It's been 5 months. Today is her birthday and it really sucks not to be with her. I think you have a wonderful perspective on how you feel, and I fear I may not be over this for a long time as well. I know I took my relationship very seriously for sure as well.
Getting over a relationship that meant so much to you is so hard. I hope this can get easier for both of us.
Your writing is beautiful and felt really relatable in a way that made me feel both sad and happy simultaneously. Thanks for your vulnerability, I think you touched a lot of people in a positive way 💕
As someone who lives in London, same age as you and someone who sees themselves as similar to you, I want you to know how strong you are❤️ I love how you embrace your vulnerability and there’s tremendous beauty and strength in accepting it and growing from it. We are all proud of you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bet you're a really nice person too💜💛💜
@@RikkeGade ❤️
Hi Jade, That piece you wrote and read..... I'm almost in tears right nowww.... Can relate to the feelings of a semi fresh heartbreak 😭
Dear Jade,
You might not ever read this comment or maybe this has been on my heart for anyone else who needs to read this so I will share it. I am so grateful to have found your channel and for you sharing your beautiful and your vulnerable moments with us. It seems like you are looking for something to fill a hole inside. But neither can tarot cards, nor cristals, nor any other things fill that 'something' within you. Only Jesus and his unconditional love can. As I decided to follow him, this will be the last video of yours I watched, since tarot card reading or any other practices like this do not align with a living God who set us free. You may not believe in his existence and I might be an alien in this community for anything that I am saying here but regardless, to anyone who's reading this: I want you to know that Jesus loves you so so so much! I know that he is with you all the time and I am praying for you that he heals your broken heart. May you be reborn as a new creation in Jesus.
Love & be blessed! 💎
I was crying watching this. There are moments in life that make you question a lot of things, a lot of possiblities. And there are obstacles and hardships too. I want you to that I love you Jade. You’re so strong. And although I am only 17 I feel you ❤
2:15 THE WAY I SPRINTED TO THE COMMENTS
2:15 *snacks. I checked the comments! 🙂 Nice one Jade. A thoughtful insight into the turbulence of life and how it does get better after a setback.
Hi Jade! It really does feel like I am catching up with my friend when I watch your videos. I loved listening to your writing, the way you use words, it was so beautiful and powerful.❤ It also brought me so many thoughts on my on life and dealing with both break-ups and loneliness. 💎💎❤
Beautiful writing 💙Thank you for sharing your human feelings in such a poetic way
Rebirth leech can be reborn too omg wow it's a flow wonderfull
02:15 "We had pizza and had sex" I cannot hear anything different from that. Go girl
These are my favourite kinds of videos from you jade! I love your honesty, it makes me feel so heard and understood. I've learnt how to sit with my uncomfortable emotions and find beauty in the fact that life is never constant. Thank you
that writing touched me so beautifully thank u for sharing jade
Omg Jade you don’t know how much I needed to watch and see this video I’m going through the same same thing. I had this calling to break up with my ex because I was so stuck and stressed in life and the relationship was not going anywhere and things started to fall apart as expected. I went on long journey of healing and after a while I have visited family and I felt better as soon as i started living alone the blues were crazy and I blamed my self for feeling sad and I started regretting the decision again and felt so alone and I thought I’m not normal and something is wrong with me but after seeing this video I cried and cried feeling so relieved and supported. Thank you Jade and I’m sending you so much love 💎❤❤❤❤
Jade, you beautiful, kind soul!! You are a light in the world!! Thank you for sharing the deepest parts of you. You have no idea how many people you help unconsciously… sending you so much love❤
I love Jade, but I'm whole hardly heartbroken for the person she dated. In life, we have to break someone's hearts sometimes, but oh boy I hope he's not watching it, because that would be tough.
Hi Jade, I was waiting for your new video and can’t wait to watch it! ❤️
You helped me through a life changing journey the last few months and my little journal is full of quotes that you said. Your videos mean a lot. 🦋
jade, to see you embrace the process makes me loves u more, you're doing an amazing job !! loads of love ❤
💎 jadeeeee thank you so much for sharing these parts of your life with us!!! every time i watch one of your videos i feel so seen :)) i currently dealing with a question of spirituality and faith, but as a stem girlie it feels so counterintuitive to lean into that! it’s so nice to hear that we don’t have to pick one or the other but that whatever makes us happiest is the best choice
💎 hi Jade! This is such a beautiful video (I’m obsessed with your writing!), thank you for being so genuine & open. I’m 20 and I’ve never been in a romantic relationship, so while I can’t relate to the roller coaster of going through a breakup, I can relate to the struggle of wanting to be simultaneously independent-to care for yourself-and to be cared for. I think your content really has a way of helping people feel connected through these types of shared experiences, and I hope reading the comments helps you feel less alone too 🫶🏻
Song recommendation: "I know it won't work" by Gracie abrams. This song helped me massively in the ending stages of grieving the breakup
Hi Jade. Thank you, first of all, for opening up to us. You are a true inspiration for out generation, an make the internet feel like a safe space, and not such a draining place. I am going through a tough growing up process (according to my psychologist) and it's so hard. I feel seen by you, and I love watching your videos. Would love to hug you right now. Thank you for everything, our jewell ;) 💎
Gosh Jade, hearing you read your journal was so emotional and confronting but so beautifully written and cathartic. I’m dealing with so many big emotions as I’m going to university in September, and I’m not ready to leave school or my friends or my support system here. It’s so hard to process but you have made it so much easier. Now I’m off to find a journal, and buy some tarot cards. Love you! 💗 💎
You write so beautifully! 💎
I wish you were my special friend jade
I work in greggs in a dismal northern town
Can only dream of London and glitter
Help me Jade!
Thank you for your radical vulnerability, watching your videos is so healing in so many ways, every time. Thank you Jade
💎 I totally get the logic -vs- spirituality dilemma. I'm a PhD researcher, my entire way of working 9-5 is to think critically, logically, rationally... But when you go through seven years of cancer and a divorce at the same time, the woo-woo inevitably gets ya 😆 and I agree 100%, both can exist concurrently, and make the other more beautiful as a result. You are so wise, Jade. Thank you for being brave and so generous in your vulnerability. X
2:15 pizza and SNACKS oml 😭
I was like "Damn girl, not judging, but we're two minutes into the video.."
I heard the other thing so many times I was like wait wait what. I HAD to check the comments to see if anyone else picked up on it

Jade! This is the first video of yours I've watched. I got goosebumps when you mentioned receiving The Artist's Way. Just while I heard your journal entry I thought to suggest this book to you. I have started the programme once before and abandoned it but I have just started it again this morning. One month ago I had a stroke; I'm young and it's been tough but I'm recovering well and decided now is the time to do the Artist's Way oncemore. I also love to write and I can not recommend it more to you or anyone how wants to start creating consistently! The fact I picked this book up again during a hard time and hearing how it arrived on your doorstep again shows me that this is a magical book. There is so much meaning to be found in the toughest stages of life. Good luck to you and everyone who is struggling 💜
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story. I can’t imagine how difficult the stroke and your recovery has been 💛 I’m so glad The Artist’s Way has been so healing for you and this is even more inspiration for me to start the programme!! Lots of love
I recently broke up with my boyfriend for similar reasons. He is an incredible person (emphasis on incredible) but this part of me kept getting louder and louder. I am having difficulties trying to not regret my choice to leave this person but to move forward and your video helped me put words on so many emotions. Thank you so much jade 💎
You always appear at the right time💗🦋✨Have an amazing day Jade🤍✨
💎 I am in day 2/3 of breakup that I initiated and I miss him so much. I so agree with the line how did I dare let go of someone who cared so much about me. and am constantly craving updates on how hes doing. which I have no right to know and shouldnt know. I hope hes ok
Jade, I'm saying this out of concern. Please go and see a therapist.
hahahaha i do
Jade, you are right that being an adult is quite stressful because you have take many responsibilities such as careers, shopping, and doing chores. I know because I find being an adult extremely stressful. I wish that I could go back to childhood years where I did not have to take any responsibilities and just be happy and play and not worry about getting diseases such as cancer. What you wrote was beautiful.
Hi Jade, gems here 💎
I really love this video. 5 years ago I went through a brutal phase of my live in which I was forced to deal with both a breakup (he left) and two family deaths (my grandma and my cousin). It all happened in a matter of 3 months and it was horrible.
I was a completely different person then that I am now it was trully q rebirth.
He left in may and by october I hopped into annother relationship because I was feeling sooo lonely and broken. I don't even remember a lot of that time, sometimes I even forgot that it happened.
That whole year I was trully and honestly scared to be happy (and that even now brings tears to my eyes). Because everytime I was happy something was taken away from me. I was scared to attach myself to something or someone that will eventually go away, that I went into all my relationships since then with one foot in and one foot out. And that looked different in every situation. Sometimes all I did was falling in love with someone I knew didnt love me or couldnt love me so I didnt have to commit.
I'm not that person anymore and even though i still have that "leech" (its a great metaphore btw), I have grown around it and not instead of it.
All this is to say that I trully love how conforted and safe I feel watching your videos. It makes me feel less alone always. Thank you Jade 💗
Tight hugs from Spain 🫂
4:27 how do you write so poetically in your journal? It’s awesome! You can even publish it like a book someday.
I write in such raw language and use so much abbreviation that I sometimes forget myself what they mean 😭.
The part about craving your 16 year old independent self, heart untouched, safely in her books- felt that one back when I walked away from a tough relationship many years ago.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing you post breakup written piece. That was truly something special. Your use of language is so skilful but accessible, you truly have a gift!
Watching your videos truly encapsulates my own feelings towards my recent breakup. It was the right thing, but the loneliness and self-doubt that comes with it is so difficult. I found that because all of my friends are in relationships, it’s so hard to get away from those feelings of loneliness and like you’re missing out by not being in a relationship. You just have to remind yourself that this is a time to nurture yourself, and that in itself is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us 💛
💎💎💎 I've been here since before your graduation journey and at that time i was graduating from high school, i graduated years later than most of my friends, they were already in their university era and i feel so behind in life ashamed and also that was when my depression started to worsen. After finishing high school i should have started university but i didn't, i spent a whole year rooting in bed speak to no one and processing a break up that I realised I never truly processed. It was devastating, it still feels like that most days
Thank you for being you and creating this space ❤
Did you say you had pizza and had sex? 😄 I'm confused but also good for you!!!❤
Wow, Jade. Your writing is beautiful and really transports the listener into what you're feeling. Great work
❤thank you for the video and bravery to be so open and sharing personal journey online.
Also, I just love how you make even things completely outside of my interest, seem fascinating. I never thought of being into it, but hearing you talk I can see what you see there - how beautiful and unique natures creations can be. Architecture of color and light 💎
💎Wow! This is just an amazing video, it really feels like we are sharing life updates through FaceTime. Thank you for sharing Jade! The words at the end made me almost cry. As I'm now less than a month living on my on for university I understand certain feelings you are going through. The loneliness is sometimes unbearable but this little corner of the internet and your past videos have made me sit in de moment en take the time to feel all the feelings life throws at me right now. Thank you for being here💙
hi jade🦋 thank you for your honesty and willingness to share your thoughts and feelings so vulnerably - your words were beautiful and the leech metaphor was brilliant. you‘re such an inspiration to me and remind me to be kind to myself. sending you so much love and patience and good energy
Oh my Jade .. you write so beautiful
I think you are a beautiful person and I want to thank you for sharing this vulnerability:)💎
You are such a beautiful writer Jade, and thank you for sharing this, it will be relatable for so many people 💌
I definitely feel the same way about journaling, and this video really is just reminding me to take the time to sit down and let my thoughts flow onto the page
💎💎💎 hiya jade!!! Oh my gosh I love you and your videos so so much!! I was on a trip and i was so excited, but when your video came out that was the highlight of my trip 🥹🥹 i am currently struggling with a sort of friend break up and it’s been so hard because like you said, some days we feel sad and guilty sort of and the next we feel like it’s the right choice so hearing someone else talk about this made my day. I really really appreciate you and i hope you are able to overcome this and p.s. I’m also in my spiritual era and we’re vibinggg ✨💓 love you jade, xoxo Charlotte from cali
💎💎 I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’d love to know how you are so sure that you made the right decision breaking up despite all the difficulty and emotions you’ve had since? Amazing video xx
Hmm for me it was how hard I tried to make things work. I persistently wanted our relationship to be the right thing for me long-term, but my niggling sense of not-rightness never left me, even after over a year of the trying. If your feelings are persistent, even when tested, it’s probably a sign that you’re denying the need for change. 💛 I also love tarot cards etc because they’re a great tool for reflection - whatever it reveals about what you “should” do is an opportunity to see how you react; often that gives you the answers you need
💎I absolutely adored this video Jade… the vulnerability you give us Jade, like we’re your close friends, is so honouring
And I just feel so deeply connected to you, and learning with you…. The whole section on spirituality and how you are entering this phase of your life is so eye-opening and just enhances my creative juices ten-fold, just purely by how the topics you bring up just expand my perspective… I just feel like anything is possible when I see you Jade💎
This video was kind of like my own tarot deck, so thank you so much Jade 🫂🤍
The way you write is so special. I'm in grade 11 and I have ministry exam in June. I have the feeling its going to be this kind of text for my exam. Thanks for the example.
💎Love the raw honesty! I am not going through the exact same, but its a sort of break up with a lifestyle and community. Sending you a hug! 💎
love 💎
You're a writer, Jade.
