Did I Leave YouTube? Life Update, Girl Chat!!

[@notsograceful]

YES. Tons of changes. Quality over quantity relationships. Healthy, true friends wouldn’t put you through that type of dynamic, just like a romantic partner. Relationships that don’t reciprocate authenticity aren’t worth your time. Leaving everything up in the air, vague... it’s fucked up. The confrontation can help with closure but at the end of the day, it’s gonna hurt either way. You’re slowly losing someone you thought was in your support circle. That lingering doubt is the worst part. May you find and nurture healthy relationships that celebrate you and ALL that you are. Celebrating you also means calling you out and being honest if they need to if they have your best interest in mind. Everybody go find an incredible therapist!

[@jackieaina]

Amen and amen! I also find closure to be quite overrated. Once I have made up my mind I don’t need the other person to validate where we stand. I feel like I give the power to them by doing that. I am responsible for how I react and how I feel, I’m not going to sit here and riddle myself with anxiety waiting for the other person to tell me what’s wrong while I’m strung along. We grown!

When Jackie spoke about being celibate really resonated with me because these days I feel like women judging other women for being or not being celibate is actually caused by the way society makes us view sexuality. Like the more I think about the more it makes sense, there is no other reason for straight women to judge other straight women for that. I think part of it is also s*x and women is almost like a competition, which is really dumb because it’s a competition you can’t win, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Just stay safe y’all

All this time, I had been there for all of them, listened to them when they needed a friend, helped clean their apartment when they moved, etc. One of them told me that they had been feeling a type of way for a while but they never gave me the chance to correct whatever behavior was bothering them.

It’s the “in a secret competition with me” for me 😭 the whole friend conversation was so relatable!! I’ve always had friends who just want to get close to me but genuinely don’t want to know me. They secretly don’t like me or are jealous of me smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ love your videos Jackie ❤️

[@sundeyknight]

It's the strategy for me. It's the cosmo interview for me. It's the being a loyal stan for amazing black women for me. I'm so proud of you Jackie! Thank you for your 12 years of effort, knowledge and BEAUTY. You're so wonderful and I'm fortunate to experience your growth next to so many other dark skin hotties. THANK YOU, BOO !

[@annasometimes]

I love that you just honestly say "I did not feel like uploading!" so many influencers keep just talking around the topic and feel like excusing for not being "on" all the time! I love that your relationship with your viewers is at that point where you are so honest. Love your attitude!

[@hopesneddon7426]

"Big Friendship" is a great book written by two friends about how friendship, interracial relations, and growing as a person. I listened to the audiobook and it was great.

[@LorissaNelson]

Whewwwwwwwwwww HONAYYYYYYYYYYYY THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT FAKE FRIENDSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The same thing happened to me last year and it hurt me SO bad and I’m still not kinda over it but still. Lol lord

[@ToyaEd.]

but it helps you to notice who is your friend or not

[@kaylakayla8713]

SAME GIRL SAME !!!! It makes you take a step back and really evaluate EVERYTHING and it’s hurtful when you’ve been genuine to someone for years

[@kiarawade]

Sometimes them friend breakups be hurting worse than romantic ones !!!

[@arreyah2671]

Honestly Jackie could only ever upload girl chats every now and then while she gets ready and i’d be so content 😂

[@rachelcochran3979]

Girl yes during quarantine I separated from my husband and lost a best friend but that was a beautiful lesson learned now.

[@Hershea1]

The friend situation part resonated with my spirit. I too have experienced “friends” like this every decade. I am no longer allowing this energy in my life. I am like you. I move on and I don’t ask question.

[@pillsorpoison7517]

Girl you are totally underrated in a major way. You are more authentic and genuine. And bring up a great point in these creator streets. I just started and already see it even though I’m not commenting from my channel. It’s tough for black creators. Thank you for being a great example to us black creators. Also make your own website people will go to your personal platform with videos products etc.

[@XxPinkGlitterGirlxX1]

I need Jackie showing me the bougie lifestyle. I need that kick in the butt to work for what I want. She doesn’t know, but Jackie’s my unofficial life coach! ❤️

[@zebrinasworld9833]

You’re one of the most realist & smart creator I’ve come across on KZbin. I am surprise you don’t have at least 10M subscriber’s. But I’m happy you. Keeps GROWING and making BOSS MOVES. God’s continued blessings.

[@aronc24]

This was suuuuch a nice moment. Never forget that other people choices and actions are not yours or your responsibility. If they be shady, that is their choice. They can have fun with that and I will wave like a good Christian. BYE.

[@jackieaina]

lmao! I feel you

[@newprincessofpop9208]

😂😂😂😂 Yess totally agree

[@ItsMeSafak]

Hey Jackie,i just wanted to remind you how big of an inspiration you are for a lot of young women all around the world, like myself. I love how you're so wise and mature but still know when and how to have fun. I looove your witty remarks and admire how smart you are. So thankful for everything you taught me and reminded me. Right now, in my mid 20s, i'm feeling kinda stuck in life but watching you flourish gives me some sort of strength. I'm motivated to grow into the smart,strong,radiant (and boujee) woman i am,just like you did! Wishing all the best for you and Denis 💘

[@LongBeachKelz]

I am PROUD to be one of the 3.5 million subscribers! 👏🏽 I don’t have ANY social media, so I don’t get to see all the greatness you’re doing elsewhere 😉 praying for continued success

I was just thinking about you!! So good to see you again ☺️

[@jackieaina]

hiiii bb how are you

[@clairegittins4046]

@@jackieaina omg I’m good!! I’m glad you had a youtube break, you definitely deserve one! I had to run over and follow you on tiktok and lavishlyjackie on ig so I can keep up lol☺️

[@JazUpMyStyle]

I totally feel you when it comes to black/brown creators on KZbin. I’m not known yet, but I do notice the lack of opportunities for creators who look like me. I’m still very small and I already experienced some discrimination within the beauty industry from well known brands so, I can only imagine how it may be for you. I’m still supporting you and loving your content on your other social media platforms. Keep shinning!

[@Fashionlifestyle_Official]

KZbin is getting really comfortable with these double unskippable ads

[@emilygarza8640]

i hope at the very least jackie makes more money off of them bc i keep my adblock on for everyone else

[@jessicavasquez148]

As a Hispanic/puerto rican young woman or girl if you will I come to Jackie because she offers a lot of great advice womanly and adult wise. She’s been so helpful for coming across difficult relationships and moving up the latter in the workplace also. I praise her to many of my friends and highly recommend her for her content. I thank her for all she’s shared and what she continues to share. Look forward to growing and seeing her share her lifestyle with us. Thank Jackie and love you!

[@darlacarpenter1224]

I have enjoyed this video thoroughly. It was like hanging out with an old friend I haven't seen for a while. Love your transparency !

[@lesleymarie7005]

It’s always to go directly to the person and get things settled.

[@jackieaina]

after the age of 30 I decided if somebody can't just be direct I won't do the work for them. I've done that for years

[@lesleymarie7005]

@@jackieaina you have to do what is best for you. To each his/her own. Wait, .............hold on.........I’m just carrying on like business as usual but I’m geeking because you responded to my comment.!!!!!! I have been watching you since you started and I LOVE you channel and your other forms of media. Your real supporters will follow you where ever you go. You are so inspiring and I understand, working hard and not receiving nearly as much as others with lower quality content. I really love your evolution. And may I say I don’t like how you are taking my money. I spend my coins regularly on your candles. If I were smart I would stock up at one time. Keep doing what you .💜 💜

That’s good.

[@chantelmoore3711]

I felt the nice nasty part. I've had some "friends" that have been that way and haven't had my back the way i had theirs and 2020 has shown me. Just let it go. You're on your way up no matter what!

[@iamsolia]

Watching this in 2022 and I’m moving into this year drinking water and minding my business. I’ve been the dumpee in friendships so many times that I learned to not chase friendships. It’s resulted in such high-quality relationships with the ones that are still around and I love it 🥰🥰

[@BubbieSquared]

Good to see you! I've never cried from a breakup from a boyfriend, but I've ugly cried from a breakup from a friend. It's the worst. Thanks for sharing, even though I'm still sad about a certain friend who I'll probably never talk to again, I'm glad to see I've been able to move on.

[@LottyDotty05]

Someone's rejection is God's protection. I feel like I can relate to you so much! Remember: you can feed someone but send them a to go plate. You can love from one but do it from the balcony!

[@alexpress5375]

I like that a lot. I will thank God for rejection now!

[@uncommonfavor674]

Let the false friends continue to fall off. Maturity comes to everyone at different times. Everyone is not equipped to receive the luxury of being your friend. Jealousy is a monster. Embrace you, at every stage and every age. I don’t watch you for makeup, although I love your expertise...I don’t watch you for luxury although I love to see all the places you go...I watch you because you’re you. If I see you everyday or once a year I know I’ll get 100 percent Jackie. Real is real, and I’m here for real 💜

Queen, you employing other black content creators. Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more. Good to see your face!

Shout out to you being vocal about celibacy. Everyone has their own journey, and it’s their own to walk. People should respect someone else’s choices that don’t affect anyone else. I’ve gone through some things as that’s where I am now.

[@Pielover45ful]

The fact that people still can't have direct conversations to resolve conflict IN THEIR 30s???? That terrifies me

Thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment it really shows things will always happen that you can’t avoid as time passes

I definitely experienced that friend situation. I actively reached to talk or hang out, yet she “cut me off” because I wasn’t there for her at one point... but I’ve been actively trying to talk. So I understand

[@7309alicia]

That friendship story triggered the hell outta me, cause that’s how my friendship with who I considered my best friend ended.

[@elvawest9489]

Girl Do You.... I have been watching you for a couple of yrs now and I love your energy. You are so funny and positive but know how to be on your grind. You are building a legacy. Honey You Are a TRAILBLAZER and an OG on KZbin. You have been the voice for African American Beauty and I love that about you. You speak up for us and a lot of brands have listen so that makes you a leader. Jackie keep winning, People get close to u because they want to do what you do, but they can’t and want u to dumb down your success because they feel some type of way that has nothing to do with you! Girl be happy and continue to pray for those who love disfunction. And if u need a break take it because if u don’t care for u no one else will. Love u love how u represent for the black woman. Continue to move the way you do unapologetically because you are A BOSS❤️

[@adaezeokeiyi3209]

Yes girl! I’m the same way. If they feel it’s important & that the friendship is worth a conversation, they’ll bring the issue to you. It’s THEIR problem not yours. If that’s how they wanna move, let em have it.
