ONCE IN A WHILE. 💌

Happy 2022! What I've been up to the past few days-- 🌷eating, chilling with friends, painting/drawing. 🌷
Thank you so much for being here with me :) I have missed vlogging a lot and I had so much fun making this one. I'm truly sorry for never updating you guys...It's really because I didn't know if I would post again. I haven't been on here for a long time and it's mostly because I'm not as comfortable as I used to be with having my life public anymore. I also want to live in the moment more with friends&family, and I would like to guide my focus mostly into tattooing. While tattooing does take a lot of time, it's something I'm passionate about!
KZbin always started out as a hobby for me, and I do love vlogging and looking back at them. I think that when it started feeling as a full time job to me, that's when I started to dislike it. Through my time in art school, it helped me stay focused and motivated a lot. I wasn't feeling the best mentally and youtube really helped a lot. Once I started my gap year, I panicked a little and added too many things to my plate, and ended up feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in a short amount of time (youtube, patreon, my shop, tattooing, etc.) Honestly, I didn't know how to handle doing nothing and I wanted to do everything. I'm learning how to take things slowly, day by day! I was also a bit scared to pick up the camera after such a long time but creating this vlog was very comforting and I hope you like this little surprise :) While I definitely won't be consistent at all with my uploads, I hope you all will enjoy little surprise vlogs from time to time. I do see all of your comments on instagram! Again, I didn't have a definite answer to when or whether I would post again so I just avoided answering them. I was very surprised to see that so many of you still care for me and I'm really grateful for all of you.
As for art school, it's something that I do miss from time to time and I do have my regrets for the time I spent there. At the moment, I do think that I made the right decision to take a break for college. My take is that since I found a job that I'm passionate about, I should pursue it. Who knows though, maybe I'll go back to school for something else in the future :D Just my thoughts though-- I fully support anyone that wants to go to art school or is in it already.
As for tattooing, I'm super excited and happy to start a private studio with my coworker/friend Kat (@katkatink)! I didn't say it in the video--but honestly there was some shared problems with the owners/the way that they are running the studio that I'll keep private. A bit paranoid about them watching this video haha. I know I said that I would document the process of the space but there's so much stuff we need to do that I feel a little chaotic/overwhelmed again, but we'll see C: I still have a lot to learn and improve on and I'm super excited to continue this journey :D
Thank you so much for reading this. I'm very grateful for all of the support you guys have given me and I hope you guys support this decision that I've chosen to make.
Stay healthy and happy c:
Love,
Jasmine

I MISSED YOU!! welcome back 🥰 i’m so happy you’re doing well :) take as many breaks as you need, we will always be here for you! 💖💖

[@teffile69]

Nothing more to say :)

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

It was great seeing you in Leah's vlog, and learning that you're doing well. From this vlog, it sounds like you've found a fulfilling place for yourself in the professional art world, and didn't need to finish at art school to do it, which is great!! You really excel at this vlogging stuff, and I'll bet you do wonders for the local restaurants you feature. It's great to see you back, but I get how you just want it to be a hobby now.

this is most definitely the longest vlog i've ever watched and i have no regrets watching it. i feel like i just watched a documentary of someones life after they went off radar for a while. it was amazing, and thank you jasmien for allowing us to see into your life

[@skyewong1460]

to say that this made my whole day is an understatement😭

[@sydneygerman4151]

the end of this video was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a while or maybe ever. it made me want to do more with my life, like have more fun, love more, do more, life more. thank you! best of luck to you in everything

[@catmafia4383]

I never really comment on youtube videos but I want to say that I'm really happy to see you back, you're the only vlogger that makes me feel motivated to continue working towards what I want, I truly do enjoy watching your videos and I found myself rewatching your videos a lot since getting back to school just to motivate myself to finish this year. Welcome back, I'm glad you took your time to rest and to think about everything!

[@umm2905]

I read you description and i’m just happy to see that your doing well, and I will look forward to whenever you upload in the future! :)

[@yichingwang2147]

omg what a nice surprise!!! You are my fav vlogger!! While you are not posting as often as before and I've been missing your vlogs, it is actually a nice reminder for me to focus on my own life too and prioritise my own health xxx Regardless, will always be here. Love your work! Hope can add your tattoos to my body one day if the travel is less of a covid risk!!!

[@crimson9738]

I'm glad you're back! Vlog and post whenever you feel like it, no pressure. It's normal to want to have some boundaries and to live in the moment. I'm sure all your viewers can agree that we'll be happy as long as you are ^^

[@Inucat9]

Jasmien! I thought I was hallucinating when I saw this update and I'm crying full genuine tears. Your videos are such a comfort and I still watch them often. Thank you for inspiring my own art journey but also setting your boundaries and taking the time to just live. Wish you all the best

[@maddster2376]

I’m glad you are doing well!! You are such an inspiration as an artist to me, I hope to get a tattoo by you some day!

[@jessiklovecine]

[@fabiennejahn5137]

I´m really in love with you, with your vibe, the videos and with your art. I checked every week if you did upload a new video. you helped me going through so many different moments in my life, especially quarantine, art blocks and depression, you were and always be my sunshine in the dark. I hope you are reading this. it would mean much to me and I just want these words to higher your self-esteem. ily

[@imsotired4701]

The cat has grown so much since the last time I saw him ❤️

[@leslieserrano6680]

seeing this blog reminded me of the hobbies that I've given up on. It reminded me of the old me, when I didn't feel so burned with highschool and thought we could all live that ideal new york life. I really missed the content

[@youniquelyy]

I SCREAMED!!!! So glad you’re back, i’ve missed your vlogs! They have comforted me thru many ways esp during quarantine in 2020! Thank you for coming back ♥️

[@rorysdiaryy8733]

[@elenawright2180]

i've missed you love, this 40 mins is the highlight of my day, i love your videos but obviously your mental and physical heath are so much more important. do youtube if you want to but we will support you no matter what, congrats on getting your own studio!!!

[@untitled_paintings]

It was lovely seeing you again, glad to know you’re well! And Miso has grown so much🥺 love from Italy

[@luiseyouknow]

i feel so good when watching ur vids. beauty in the everyday life of a 20something art person cuz sameee

[@inohaiz]

welcome back temporarily! Thank you 🥺

[@topoevavii]

I'm so glad you're back🥰 The video is very interesting as always🥺♥️

[@wlfrime]

OMGG!!! i’m so glad you came back! whenever you post next video we’re always happy to see you!

[@j_mapelle_nee]

So glad you’re baaack! Take all the time off that you need. You neither need our permission, nor do you owe us an explanation, apology, or justification. It’s your life. As a longtime follower I’m all the more happy that you stepped away to take care of you. Sure, I you were missed, then I started getting spiteful because you hadn’t posted in SO FRICK’N LONG! And then I pretended I didn’t care and “moved on” (even though I kept secretly coming back to check for new posts. Haha). So I had a pretty hectic grieving period 😁, but I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for! Super excited for you and your new studio. It’s a shame, as I’m all the way in Australia land. But well done, and all the best. And again, we need no explanation. I mean who are we anyway, mere strangers on the other side of a screen following another stranger. How well do we really know each other? But really, really happy for you (your fresh brown locks makes your look all the more youthful). Stay true to you X

[@trinemore2562]

the last part ugh tears I love you. glad you're happy and well.

[@estherd.b.16]

the way you casually create the most beautiful artwork. Wow, just wow!

[@camyruncan5112]

OH MY GOD I'M ACTUALLY CRYING. I just saw an old screenshot of my watch history and one of your videos was there and I immediately remembered how amazing your videos made me feel and how much they got me through 2020 GOSH, and I wanted to just check your account out, to see if maybe just maybe you posted any new videos (even though I doubted it because you said you didn't think you'd make new content) AND I JUST SAW THAT YOU DID AND WOW I ACTUALLY STARTED TEARING UP SO BAD

[@cheri8832]

excited for your journey as always jasmine, this was such a lovely surprise! 🌱💗 i can definitely relate to burn out, and a break has proved to be a great decision for you :) love ya jasmien!

[@Froggy.k1tty]

So glad to see you back!💗 it’s understandable that you got overwhelmed and burnt out from all of that, I’m glad you took the time to learn to take it slower and focus on the top priorities:) please never feel obliged to update often or share your whole life! Seeing these snippets of your work and outings is enjoyable but only share what you are truly comfortable with ofc 🌸

[@karlalovato1715]
