im tellin you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alleycatfire]

I mean, context clues (new place with just your stuff, lots of social events with no shawty, etc.) - I thought "Jade wants us to mind our business, use our brains, and keep it cute." Glad you made whatever announcement feels good for you and on your terms/timeline. Keep living your best life!

[@the_fynethyme]

exactly this

[@smome777]

Exactlyyyy this

[@brownstudios5379]

yeah i was think the same

[@HealingInsideMyMind]

“Just because I’m not the choice of a partner, doesn’t mean that I don’t deserve to be chosen wisely” JADE DROPPING BOMBS!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@magpielvira]

and it’s been EXACTLY what i’ve been thinking!!! with everyone contributing different takes to dating / hookup culture right now, that part was ittttt. people need to be intentional!

[@amycolley8750]

" I'm tired of being me" the relatability for me in this season. Totally OVERstood you in that moment. Let's normalize black girls being unapologetically vulnerable

[@VLJ10]

I love that you said you’re single and instead of going into why and what happened, you showed you navigating being in your own space and world. The way you put this together I didn’t even care to know why.. it’s like hey it happens ppl break up man and you pick up the pieces and move forward. Much love Jade 🫶🏾

[@RaijeneMurchison]

“I don’t live as big as I could out of fear of REGRESSING” SPEAKKKKK!!!

[@maybekiara]

“how do I?” “how do I?” “how do I?” in a room..or in a world where it seems nobody else is asking themselves that question. man … felt.

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

felt all the way thru

[@malaykav]

When the KZbinrs I watch take a break and come back it feels like I’m catching up with an old friend like yessss tell me what’s been going onnnn I’m all ears.

[@dearempaths]

that "I wish I could be a mess" rant made me cry. there's so much resentment that comes with self-respect, security and aiming for a healthy outcome. I'm working through that myself

[@Legallyhaitian]

Shout out to the singles out there. Embrace this time. Love it for what it is.

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Yes! I absolutely love it and I’m addicted to the peace, safety and space for self growth and self love!

[@obscurity87]

I miss being single some times enjoy it

[@jadedvisions26]

The portion in the bathroom.. too freaking relatable!! Omg I want to hug you and all of us that have ever felt tired in the way that you spoke about.

[@elizabethlillystudio]

i’ve felt this way my whole life too! always capable, always taking care of things, family, partners, and i can’t ever fall apart. tired on such a deep level. oof.

[@monicacooks4874]

This comment! I just erased what I was typing and liked yours! Felt all of it!

[@ShesS0Weird]

fr fr fr... most people give the absolute bare minimum. Life always seems to take care of them too. We who struggle, keep struggling. We tread water daily. We do for us, and them, and them and them, for everybody. And when we ask for a little bit, just a little...🤏 people switch up. It's so tiring being a black woman who strives for excellence.

[@Tatiana1451]

“I’m over being the bigger person” is so relatable. Too relatable 😓

[@BWAcolyte]

the post-breakup glowup is GLOWING. Also always being the biggest person in the room is exhausting. can someone bigger please come along and just hold me in everything i'm going through frfr f*ck its so isolating sometimes

[@Housewarmin]

10:24 The "Im over it" speech needs to be it's own video because baby you are PREACHINGGGG

[@aprilb9755]

As everyone else has said in these comments, the clip from in the bathroom is EXTREMELY relatable. I have also said many times "why can't I just be a bad person" because like you said so many other people out here are just not trying, not giving a shit, and being generally bad people and they still succeed and no one stops them. It is so frustrating but again, I am like you in that I cannot stoop to that level because I won't let myself.

[@SylentCommotions]

Thanks for being real without all the mess and drama that comes from most KZbinrs. Hope this reaches and helps many people while processing breakups and life changes

[@magpielvira]

it’s definitely reaching. even sending this to a close friend going through this across the country from me

[@ezratheangel9214]

im at the part where you say "i would i could be a bad person i wish i could be allowed to fall apart" and GOD thats so real the constant fear of needing to have control over everything when everyone else doesn't. you have to keep it together for everyone else and its EXHAUSTING. you have to let yourself feel your emotions and fall apart tho bc otherwise you WILL burn out and just...break down. And you just won't be able to hold anything together and just be stuck in this stagnant exhausting limbo of barely keeping yourself alive source: my current state as someone who has control issues like that and now is barely functioning

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

I didn't;t have a breakdown but I'm burnt out and guess what? I still have to keep it together. I hate it here. Adulting is for fools.

[@BigMayaaaaa]

Been watching Jade since she was in college & I was in high school. I’ve since graduated college, moved out of state, started my career & got married. Started beautiful to see her through the many phases of life (that she shares). Being black & queer and from VA Jade made me feel so seen. So happy for her growth & success Jade if you happen to see this is a link up with your college friends possible 👀

[@JUNOtheArtist]

This is so raw and real and I really appreciate you sharing. Resonates in so many ways, I can’t even begin to explain. Thanks for being brave enough to put this on the internet cuz I know it’s not easy

[@elledoesmusic]

I have to give you props on your ability to be entertaining while going through a heartbreak😭

[@Abstractash]

Noooo, I knew it 🥲 I wish the best for both of you 💕

[@abdullahtk33]

the being tired of puttting ur best foot forward is so real

[@MostlyMoselei]

Nah, Jade be speaking from a place we all have visited, have property in or currently reside at ❤❤

[@createdcreative1061]

🙋🏿‍♀️ Currently residing and hating every second. Hope you are ok.

[@midorigemini3014]

I’m going through a break up too, this is relatable aff. I love my solitude but it still feels weird sometimes. I can’t wait to build a better routine and daily/weekly self care rituals

[@midorigemini3014]

also felt on the tired of picking yourself up and standing in your integrity :/

[@kayoconey7198]

That voicenote was really sweet

[@nathanscore]

11:43 damn. i think what you said around that time in this video hits so hard for so many of us. thanks for sharing for all these years, we appreciate the work you put into all of this content. i think it's so hard to be vulnerable and real online and it probably costs you a lot of energy to be this kind of creator but i think this video was needed for so many people. love you jade ❤

[@ashleysartattack5600]

I’ve been watching since 2014. Thank you for sharing how you’ve been feeling and doing with us. It is a privilege. And some of us can relate.

[@taw11x]

Yoooo, the beginning of the “I’m Single” segment (April) felt like a little Spike Lee Joint. Go Jade. Pure talent. Loving it.

[@monicacooks4874]

Yes, same!! I was feeling a Mo’ Better Blues vibe!

[@BlackandProud33]

14:52 “I’m tired of picking myself up”… is so real. I’m sorry Jade 🙁Being unwavering in being your best self everyday is definitely tiring. Commitment, Self-Control, Optimism, Consideration etc. Especially when those around you don’t share these qualities. What goes around comes around💯, you’ll get everything you need and are looking for in the end. Sometimes a step back/knock down is all you need to consciously remain true to yourself despite the situation. Keep pushing and stay you🤙🏾

[@SomeRandomBlackWoman]

‘Tired of being the most efficient person in the room!’ - my Capricorn stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Neptune all in 3rd House) FEEL YOU SO MUCH ON THIS OMG🙂‍↕️😅. The whole bathroom scene is something I’ve felt my entire life. I’m 38.

[@etvenus_]

I’m in a similar place in life Jade, thank you for sharing and reminding me to live life and not just to heal. It is indeed exhausting being a good person but we’re still human after all

[@aworkofart.92]

You know what I appreciate about you? How RAW you are. You aren’t sugar coating things. You gave us raw emotions, raw feelings, raw life. Doing it in a way where you can still keep your things personal but letting us know about you at the same time. I love that. I know it’s hard to be that person to share things to the world. But it has helped so many of us. It has definitely helped me. I get to see another brown woman show her face, represent, and let us know that we can still chase our dreams and be authentic to ourselves, however that shows up. Thank you so much Jade for this video and being true to you. I’m ready for the next one ❤️

[@streetsh1]

This golden honey-blonde hair looks so good on you. And yes, your skin is glowing ✨️

[@taykendall910]

I'm sorry to hear your relationship ended, but not sorry if that was needed for you further grow and evolve! I wish you happiness, wholeness, wellness, abundance, and Love on this new chapter in your life! You know what's best for you! 😉

[@lexusdean9400]

I am only 17 minutes in and I keep pausing the video because I feel like I am looking in a mirror right now. Watching you publicize every portion of what this chapter of life looks like for you is comforting and scary because I had so many journey entries and videos that say these exacts . From a view point of healing and embracing life this really speaks to the notion of healing not being linear. This speaks to how life truly looks when you embrace all of your emotions and live in your truth. I am 1 year into life after a breakup and I am watching someone go through the same process that I have gone through and am still going through. Thank you for allowing us into this very vulnerable portion of your life.

[@magpielvira]

i’m two years post-major breakup and it’s still so real! especially with what she feels when trying to feel new people out and wanting attention specialized to *youuuu*

[@ripley2995]

I was listening to this in the car and fully was responding to you when you shared how tired you are. So real. I have been confronting my own perfectionism and obsession with getting everything just right lately. And what has helped me is to really release the pressure I put on myself to get everything right. Allowing myself to be messy has been so fucking hard yet so rewarding. We are our own worst critics fr

[@nicolesnyder401]

The venting sesh in the bathroom was so raw and so relatable

[@oliviaridley2912]

girl the COLOR GRADING!!!

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Her and the Sony are carrying ok?!

[@TestorshiaTheeOne]

I had that same bathroom talk with myself a few days ago. It's really hard to be the one picking your own self up, especially after showing up 100% for everyone else and every thing else. My own integrity is why I do the things I do and to see others seemingly without it...? Like, how?! It's...phew.

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

There's a particular exhaustion to taking on the responsibilities that others neglect and/or remain unaware of.

[@kristinhartman9729]

What a well crafted statement. Applicable in work life and family life alike.

[@LeOhio817]

Amen. Say that.

[@Perennielle]

Capricorn thoughts ~ I think it’s really important to expand our understanding of healing because I’ve come to find it is so much more than we often think of. Fun, play, and being present are wonderful parts of healing. It’s not about trying to be perfect and just sifting through the heavy stuff. It’s a life long journey and getting messy and living life are what it’s all about ❤️‍🔥✨✨✨

[@jadedvisions26]

Always always appreciate the vulnerability!!

[@jclimb5958]

These type of vlog-style videos make me feel so at peace. I love getting to see how you think about and move through life

[@TatyanaMorena]

The bathroom rant is soooo relatable. Thank you for this masterpiece of a video and happy healing!

[@vernise11]

Taking care of you and loving you is the best route to healing and feeling your best!

[@HellaReckless]

I’m sorry I laughed with you when the camera fell and that was the last straw cause that’s how it really is. Sending love.

[@cooki3monstrrr]

I appreciate you as a human Jade. Everytime I watch your videos, I come away with something that helps me along my journey. I'm so grateful for what you choose to share with us! Thank you & thanks for the clips from the concert! I'm clearly missing out & need to go see Missy asap lol

[@loreisalepine7586]

The way my whole being needed someone else to put into words… the part about wishing you could be the mess but you know you can’t. This whole video is truly a gift. We here for every version of Jade. ♾️✨

49:13 - "Rejection is an example of that cut that you got when you were playing with a skip-it and you tripped... It's like a bruise that you get along the way." Love this quote, and this whole video! Thank you for sharing Jade :)

i love your editing style, storytelling if that's what you even call it and your skin. the glow baby!! come on skin!!! melanin is melanating!

I can not express how much I love this vlogging style raw yet put together so well! Jade, this is why I will literally stop what I'm doing to watch every single video. Also congratulations on your new Journey this chapter looks good on you.

[@ericaatkins7088]

The fact that you open up to your viewers the way you do, even though you don’t have to, is why I will always be a fan, and a follower. BTW that hair is killin it! I love it 😊

[@kemizehabib-mohammed8791]

This video was everything. In every way. The openness, the humour, the filming and editing. I’ve been watching it for a whole day now, but I knew I'd watch the entire thing, and I did. "Ooh baby, I’ve been spending money" - flinches in the haunting memories of debit alerts 😂 Stay living, Jade 🙂‍↕️

So much love to you for struggling and being honest about it. “How do I get through every day” is such a relatable feeling whether it’s from a breakup or just trying to keep yourself afloat. 💜💜

This touched me from the tears to the laughter.

[@lonniewoodslll7305]

Loved this vlog! highlights: Hotel icks felt! hate touching them curtains, " deep canals" had me weak, thanks for the vulnerability about being the person who "has it together" and is emotionally mature, it's hard but we bare the heavy cross!

[@caramo790]

the section in the grey highland hoodie. giirrrllll. heard. felt. i felt so seen because yes girl me too . the duality of that whole conundrum, um yeah.

[@ArtichokeHunter]

i got into my first adult relationship toward the beginning of the time in this vid and had my first breakup partway through. it puts things in perspective and i appreciate yours

[@amyjanemade]

wowwwww comparing a moment of rejection to a cut you get from tripping is such useful reframing, thank you!!

[@DanniGNaturals]

The video I needed today. You really just made me feel like I’m not alone in how I feel. That whole talk around 12 min is everything. I had to pause the video to type this lol I’m like “yessss, Jade is spitting bars” Thank you for the vulnerability, I appreciate you.

[@enbyunicorn]

the openness & vulnerability of this post is so beautiful. ughhh. thank you

[@zhaygagnon8060]

Thank you sm for sharing this and for the piece on desirability. 5 year relationship ended about 7 months ago, can definitely identify w so much of what you're saying. Good to see the ways you're healing and growing w yourself, I hope u have a fantastic b day celebration ❤🎉

[@Repelly]

Went through a bad break up off and on in the beginning of this yr and i relate to you so much. I wish I saw this the time you posted, but I'm here now and I feel for you. Things will get better, I promise (from my experience(s), at least). Sometimes I get tired of being myself too and picking myself up, but we strive to make our circle filled with peace. Stay strong, Jade ♥

Your thoughts starting at @10:27 perfectly summed up my frustration/struggles with life and working in corporate Amerikkka. I am tired. I am tired of having to be better to only get a fraction of what the mediocre people get around me. I am tired of having to take the high road when I wanna drive the bus straight to hell. Just tired!

[@elizahcreates]

I am you and you are meeeee Yeah all of this resonates. Keep living and loving and feeling every emotion. It’s a beautiful thing to return to self and realize that your well will always be full and those who get to experience you, will pour into you and not drain it🫶🏽

[@smome777]

As much as I know you didnt have to make this video, i selfishly wanted to hear from you bc i could tell y'all had seperated and you have the best takeaways and summations of transition periods. Your content always speaks to what i need to hear the most and I appreciate your vulnerability. Its truly an art to be so authentically yourself. ❤

[@saragilbert1164]

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable with your people. And thank you for letting someone out there know that it’s ok to be in that space. We tend to hold it IN! Mercy! Gotta let it out. Sending mad love your way in the new era/season!

This was such a beautiful episode. It was raw and honest. Gut renching, motivating and refreshing. At about the 13 min mark I was crying like a baby and by the end I couldn't stop grinning.

[@SZS27]

The how do I conversation… thank you, relatable affffff

[@SapphicKnits]

The monologue about too much healing at the end is a word. I've been feeling similarly. I quit my job almost a month ago with no set plan, and it was the first time I just let go and did the "irresponsible" thing for my own sake. I truly feel like a different person and it's almost distressing feeling less weighed down by the sense that you need to do everything right. But I feel like so many parts of my life have suffered from me holding on too tightly to "the right thing," and indeed some of the best moments in life come when you allow yourself to do things you might regret simply because you wanted to.
