jade!!!! i loved hearing your perspective on clothes and personal style, i think my closet is very much made up of pieces where it’s like only this shirt can go with this skirt and it’s difficult to style multiple ways. so you’ve inspired me to do some thinking too!! i’m a huge thrifter and vintage enthusiast too but wanting to be even more conscious in the way i interact with fashion now :-)))

im so happy you're back to posting!! I love watching EVERYTHING you share. you inspire me to start posting too. love ya jade!!

This spoke to me. I'm having the worst mental time right now, freshly living alone in uni in a different city. Everything is just so overwhelming and I don't know how to cope nor how I'm gonna cope when I'm supposed to be an "adult". Thank you for your honest videos, this helped me breathe

I’m a bit late to this video, but I just want to say that your feelings about having your citizenship revoked are completely valid. Some of the other comments feel a bit dismissive, like saying you don’t need ethnicity/citizenship to live your life and its not a big deal-but the truth is, your ethnicity and culture shapes so much of who you are and the way you experience the world. Citizenship can be such a meaningful representation of your connection to your roots, but it need not be the only one. I hope you know that with or without it, your culture and everything it has given you will always be a part of you, no matter where you are. Wishing you all the best. 💛

Crying is a good thing and what we need to do to release our big emotions. Also you have to remember as a girl our hormones are always in us and our periods really affect us more than you think. We really only have 1 good stable week. 1 is our body preparing for a possible baby then the next week is us feeling it mentally and the third is our period. Also did you make the floral thing on your doorknob? it’s pretty!

love the new format! and keep going, you're on the right track :)

loved this vid :-) and the haikus & collages !!

proud of you diva 🫧💕

loved this chat, i've been feeling so similar lately so i'm so with you. lots of love !! <3

its not that uncommon really. pretty much all the korean americans around me gave up their citizenships and honestly thats more of a privilege than not having an american citizenship at all…youre not special and its really not that deep

You don’t need ethnicity to live your life just appreciate yourself and move on with your life.

you're really wholesome

I stumbled upon this video by accident and subscribed. I will tell you a little bit about my story so you can maybe feel better, or at least have a different POV. I was born in the USA, raised in Latin America (two different countries), and then I returned to the USA for university and then stayed to work. I’ve struggled with the exact same issues you described in the video (with the exception of having to renounce citizenship). All of my life I have questioned… What am I? Am I American or a foreigner who just happened to be born in America? What I realized is you need to be proud of your story as a whole. Even though the USA has many Latinos, almost none of them lived in two different Latin American countries and speak perfect Spanish. I’m guessing you’re Australian of Singaporean descent and maybe you lived in Singapore for some time. Well, not many Australians have that story. So own it, because even if you don’t have the Singaporean citizenship officially, your roots are still there. Your family ties are priceless. I hope this comment made you feel or at least think differently! Don’t be sad, be happy :-)

Sending love 💌

Great video Jade thanks for taking the time to touch on this subject. And when things get better you'll feel 10 times better xD Cheers, and keep going forward 🥂

Think of creativity in terms of seasons. Sounds like you've hit a winter. Time to rest, reflect, and get rejuvenated <3. I'm glad you listened to your body when you were tired. Don't worry, you're not letting anyone down if you're taking care of your well being. Your friends will understand and there will be more social engagements in the future! Your lived experience cannot be taken away by paper. Keep expressing and writing your story, your history, and place all those stepping stones to get you where you want to go through your art and life! Home is where the heart is. Wishing you only but the best - auntie on the internet~

Sorry you are not Asian anymore and have lost your genetic identity. You are not a “Asian person of color” but rather a White Caucasian.

it was an inevitable 💕

Thank you for talking about this Jade ❤

Yo, your value isn't determined by your ethnicity. That's sweating the small stuff. The bigger question is, are you happy and content with who you are as a human being? All that other stuff is a distraction. If you are doing your best, that's good enough for the cosmos. Theres no blueprints to life or the human experience. Don't be too hard on yourself. The universe will cease to exist one day, so it's all good! Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel the same ways, at times, the exhaustion of existence and the guilt that comes with varying degrees of self-introspection. Its all good though, you're doing your best bud.

my beautiful jade, i so appreciate your vulnerability. you are so strong and i’m sorry that this revocation has hurt you so deeply ❤️‍🩹 i wish i could just curl up in bed with you and we could watch movies and talk. i love you jade and its hard right now but it wont be forever, your citizenship has nothing to do with the beautiful, talented, multifaceted loving human being you are today. ❤

totally understand where you're coming from, same as you, i have both australian and hong kong citizenship, and I cannot imagine any of them being taken away from me. I think for years, having both of them led to a lot of inner-searching of cultural identity and i have finally come to a point where i am happy with where i stand in them and how they define me. This must have been so difficult for you and my heart goes out to you ❤

it's very interesting that you establish your favourite day of the week based on the shows you watch haha

looking gorgeous as ever! that lighter is so julia!

love u jade! so happy youre posting again. <3

miss u sm

outfit is vibes interior decor is vibes EVERYTHING !!!!

one thing that helped me a lot in dealing with the feelings of failure is to appreciate how my frustrations could be a good thing, because solely focusing on the positives sometimes felt a bit like fleeing (to me), so I decided I had to do more and also deal with those feelings on inadequacy/failure. I think at the end of the day it's about finding the right balance, between being able to let go but also appreciating that being a perfectionist and wanting more CAN sometimes be a good thing because it keeps you moving forward, and in a way gives you purpose in a somewhat chaotic universe

💘💘

Love this chat, I feel so similarly to you in many many ways! I watched while I put my make up on too hehehe 🥰💌

I feel like we all go through this phase between our twenties and thirties where we don't want to go out as much, we learn to stop seeking validation from our peers (and so we can truly appreciate others' worth without feeling inadequate) and we understand the value of our real friends. Basically you're finding yourself and that's awesome! Also yes relating to songs through personal experience >>>

Love seeing you back on here!! Your process is inspiring me to be more hands-on with my written expression:)
