Shaving my head, Taraji saying what we all feel, linking w/ famous friends, etc [VIDEO DIARY #4]

[@iamjadefox]

THANK YALL FOR THE HAIR LOVE

[@lovelivenic4606]

I love your hair this way. Once you keep brushing it , get a shape up, and put some hair lotion. You will be good.

[@mmowec8159]

Lol

[@ELmayberry]

cold up top 😂😂

[@marou55ia_]

You're fiiiiiiiiiiine girl

[@vanessachandler9235]

Welcome to the balds Jade!! We’re so excited to have you!! You might get addicted, especially when the waves really start coming in. I recommend learning how to cut your own hair sooner rather than later for the most freeing bald experience. You already look incredible, and if you REALLY trying to do something? Consider a skin fade with a natural hairline. Gagged

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I shaved my head three years ago and I don't think i'll ever look back. It's so easy and I look so good! I shave my head every couple of months (my hair grows slowly). Might eventually grow it out but I feel the most 'me' with it shaved.

[@ThugRoyalty]

Yessss!!! Welcoming more Baldhead Baddies!!! 💕🤞🏾💕🤞🏾💕

[@ZenitsusFurry]

The BALDS?!?!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@WhereisJhoo]

​@@Lisa_Flowers I'm still trying to wrap my head around why I feel the most "me" every time I go bald. Idk what it is but I love it here. I feel so dope lol

[@GeekyLaTanya]

That is a solid recommendation! I have that cut (tho I don't have baby hairs so it looks cut at the hairline) and then gracefully land into a more Grace Jones cut as time passes. Happy New Year everyone!

[@xdhamodeld]

Jade. There is something about your videos that makes me feel like it’s a cold day and I’m being snuggled up under my soft blankets drinking a hot cup of tea. I love your videos. They are so intimate and encouraging and funny all at the same time. I’ve been watching for years and you just keep getting better and better! I love it here continue to do this kind of content please.

[@Itsmyrap]

Mal: “im not gassing you” *as she’s currently gassing and hyping you up* lol gotta have those people around you ! 💕

[@someonesomehow379]

20:10 SO REAL like we as individuals ARE FUCKING CAPABLE of having an impact like look at all the individuals that changed shit when everyone told them they dreamt too big..

[@malaykav]

Jaaaade. The way your face is glowing. Your eyes. Your hat and jewelry game bout to hit like never before. Like everything is poppin right now. Beautiful decision.

[@TheSonNamedSet]

Recently shaved my head after growing my locs for 3 years. I had them through some pretty traumatic times and now that I'm the safest I've ever felt, i felt it was time to let them go. Definitely wanna grow it out again, but for now, i love being bald.

[@somebodysmom818]

❤

[@loganw4686]

that last video...actually helped shaped the end of a very hard month for me in such a beautiful way. even this one, i've never presented as masc before despite having a lot of painful gender feelings around my femininity. but seeing you rock the bald is soothing a wound i didn't even know i had! keep putting out shit u like! it lands.

[@EricaVain]

JADE the way you literally spoke so many of my own thoughts and feelings in this video! The articulation is BRILLIANT becaise "2023 was like a whole YEAR OF BRAIDS TOO TIGHT" is EXACTLY IT!!! That Metaphor slapped the hell outta me in the best way! And what you say about confidence and vulnerability!!! Babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! You spoke a WORD with this one!!! Thank you so much! I feel seen and hope you feel emboldened in the beauty that is your mind! You are a treasure!

[@BbyPigeon]

I love love loved being bald. It was a bit shocking at first. But I felt myself move around the world differently. I felt powerful. I shaved my head just for me. One of my fav things I've done for myself.

[@sivgreyson]

soft black masculinity is truly extremely comforting for me. i think that’s why i’ve watched you for so long; even if i was quiet about it. that kind of community is truly _life-giving_

[@sivgreyson]

also, i’m really loving the video diaries! between this, TikTok, and madeyoulooks (which i only discovered today wth) i’m EATING. i was a yt creator once upon a time and i stopped for so many reasons; mainly i found it hard to have a private life and an audience. i also struggled to fight for my vision over the ever-present hunt for views. but you seem to be showing me (us) how to do this platform right. and i’m just thankful to be witnessing an artist do their art. whether you post or not, whether it’s personal or based on your work; i so appreciate what you share with the world.

[@sivgreyson]

ok so i have more to say after watching more and i wanna affirm that frustration of “i was enough when you came to me, but now that i ask for fair and ethical compensation, i have to prove myself”. i spent a lot of time in academia which is basically just white liberal hell. and i’d watch my lecturers and colleagues only value me when i wowed them in ways that didn’t make them uncomfortable. so ofc, as i grew into myself as a person and cared less about performing some sort of palatability, suddenly my ‘shiny bright brilliance’ was too much. needed toning down. was too unreliable (because how dare i need rest????). came with too many consequences (because white liberalism isn’t interested in actual change, right. it’s just being radical enough to get published). and the day i stopped pandering, my world like fell apart. but since then, i’ve been able to build a world that is truly for me. a world that sees all of me and welcomes them and holds them and is gentle with them. this is all to say, a lot of what you said struck me. and i’m as proud of you as i am of myself for not only surviving but finding our own way to thriving. [edit: grammar]

[@8infinite8possiblities8]

I think going with the flow and being more present will help me let love flow and get closer to the people that matter most to me.

[@olnoname2297]

A month of Sundays 😂 haven’t heard that one in a minute Welcome to the baldie crew what’s crazy is I just started growing mine out looking at your hair styles for reference Thank you

[@tiawood3806]

Watching you and Mal was a beautiful experience!! That's the type of community I am hoping to create!

[@marou55ia_]

One thing I can do to let love flow in my life this year -- value things about myself that I don't usually value. For example, 2023 for me was the year I comitted to therapy and my mental well-being. I am a taurus and I love to eat and I don't usually care about my appearance because I have always valued eating well and doing nothing (which is truly what I love the most) BUT, this year I need to start valuing "things of the exterior" a bit more. I need to learn and remind myself why it's important to care for myself physically. Mind you, I LOVE myself. I do. I don't care for "losing weight". I love my fat. I'm phat! I really don't agree or relate to people like "I need to lose weight/get in shape" cause b, my shape is my shape! But it's not just that. My skin, my hair (I am bald by choice and loving it), my clothes, all of the things of the exterior.. I never really gaf about cause it has no value, I was born the way I am. And also, this is gonna sound vain, but my whole life people have been telling me how beautiful I am. I always disliked hearing that cause there is no merit in "being beautiful", also it's subjective. When people say that, I wonder wtf they mean like.. what is beautiful? What do you find beautiful? I think I can appear beautiful to people who value white looking traits cause I am biracial and people will say things like "your nose is straight" "your hair is wavy" "beautiful complexion" and it's SOOO triggering to me cause wtf, what are you saying, what do you mean. Is a big nose not beautiful? What do you like about my "exotic" looking traits and what you are really saying is you love the hhhwhite in me. And I hate that. I think over time I started to make myself "less attractive" and caring less about appearance because truly, it has no value to me. Compliments about my appearance are so meaningless because people are born the way they are born, I never earned my looks. It's not like "you are intelligent" or like "you have a big heart" or "you're generous" no, it's like.. you wanna give me credit for something I have no agency over?! That has no value to me. So I think over the years I just stopped caring about things like physical selfcare and I started loving not appealing to the public eye. But truly, that is my body that has carried me here. I am so mean to my body. Meaning, I will over indulge and neglect it. I have always battled with addictive behavior all my 33 years of life, whether it's food, alcohol, weed etc. I stopped smoking weed 11 days ago and this is big for me, because I've been a heavy smoker for over 10 years. What triggered me to care is that someone close to me had a baby, and it forces me not to think only about myself anymore. I wanna be optimal for baby especially since I'll be around them a lot. This put things into perspective and gave me a bigger motive than je-me-moi/me myself and I. I started valuing "the body" and existence through seeing that child's birth. The body is important. It is my vessel, and it's making me care more about my body, my exterior. I hate shopping, I hate doing my hair, I hate caring about things like that. I do the bare minimum. Mind you I have great hygiene but I simply don't value others perception of me. But now this year, it's time for me to realize that my body is FOR me. I can't control how people see me. I HAVE to care about myself still. So now I'm learning to have skin care routine and I am learning that it's okay to spend money on clothes and appearance and it's really hard to do. I am learning that it's not money wasted. I am learning to care about my body and appearance and I hope to find value in that, for myself. I feel like 2023 was a lot of internal work, which was easier for me to tackle because I am introvert and I am used to being introspective. But finding my "outside" identity is going to be hard. That's my challenge and I think once I find harmony in the inside/outside, it will provide me a different harmony that I have never felt before.

[@downbytheC]

I'm working on the way I talk to myself when I'm learning something new. I want to be great immediately at everything and that happens sometimes, but if I want to learn new things I have to be willing to be a novice. These video diaries are a balm to watch. Thanks for sharing them here :)

[@papi_manny]

What's one thing I can do to let love flow this year ? Make room and let myself be seen .

[@WhereisJhoo]

You got this!

[@jorrdiiii]

No way! Lmao i remember watching the ultimatum and thinking how Mal had the same energy as you Jade! Love that you guys are hanging! You should put out how yall met

[@Elloashan]

"Constantly creating things that are 100% in your vision and not getting detered from your vision based off of public perception" A WORD! Always resonating with your authenticity and honesty!!

[@lenaf7758]

When I was bald, I did like how it allowed ppl to focus more on my face, and esp with your badass brows and lashes, your face shines with this cut! Go slay!

[@FeistyPisces31984]

I am learning to accept the help, in whatever way that looks. For instance, the person I’m dating brought me lunch to work, after having to ask me three times for me to accept, and when I was unbagging the food, there was money in the bag. I asked what the money was for and he said, “I know you’ve been running your family around, so that’s gas money.” I’m not used to anyone being kind to me, wanting to help me, just because. I’m aware I deserve it however I’m not used to it. So, moving forward, instead of putting up resistance in accepting kindness, I will just be and allow the kindness.

[@BeingTiffany]

Your purpose is much much bigger than chick-fil-a, Jade. We're all so grateful you're still out here doing the thing. You're doing great, sweetie!!

[@Charmane73]

Love the cut on you! I’ve chopped off my hair several times in my 51 years of life. But my last chopped was an emotional thing. Like 4 days later I ended up in ICU. That was in 2014 and I work I would never grow it back. I lied. I’m approaching my 1 year anniversary of my sister locs this month. ❤

[@Purpleppleater42]

Really feeling this format Jade. Feels so fresh, authentic, and original.

[@aerihumphrey3892]

i recently shaved my head too and the confidence u get after is through the roof!! you saying you didn’t “look complete” without your glasses stunned me because i immediately thought wow she looks so good! this video really resonated, especially when you spoke about how black women are conditioned to think they’re asking for too much when it’s basic respect! to let love flow more freely into my life 2024, i decided to value my peace more than other people’s concerns!! i hope you practice the same 💗💗

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I feel like I really struggle with the balance between 'all you can do is all you can do' and 'do the hard thing because it needs to be done'. So often it feels like because of my own specific challenges (especially with basic shit like functioning as a human being with my severe mental health issues and toxic family) and own specific capacity, something very easy or very doable to everyone else, is almost impossible to me. So I am doing the hard thing that needs to be done just by being alive and taking care of body and basic needs and somehow finding reasons to live to the next day. But it is never viewed as 'hard' or even really effortful by anyone else around me. Enter guilt, feeling weak because my 'best' is not extraordinary or exceptional, and the desire to do what other people view as 'enough'... followed by the inevitable burn out because I was actually right about my capacity to do things, and now I have even lower capacity than before because I went too far. After 7 years of this cycle, I think I'm actually getting to the point where I am at least somewhat able to trust my own ability to know what I can and cannot do, instead of automatically defaulting to everyone else's assumptions and the ableism inherent within them about what constitutes easy and hard for everyone. Like...it's my body. I live in it. I live with the severe consequences when I go too hard and I can feel when I am stagnating and not doing enough. I have direct feedback that other people simply do not have. I know when I am underutilising my abilities, or when I am hitting a wall, or when I have broken past that wall and it's causing me to fall apart. I know when I need care and how to give it to myself because currently if I don't, i just won't recieve it from anyone. I'm essentially overcoming a lifetime of gaslighting specificallt from my parents, who made me feel like mt emotions were worthless unless they directly reflected and validated their own and fucked off the rest of the time. *TL;DR* So I guess my message to all you lovely people is - be honest with yourself about whether you are genuinely doing your best with what is in your hands, even if it's very little (and doing your best doesn't always mean doing more - it sometimes doing less because you're doing an unsustainable amount, or assessing how you can spend your energy more efficiently, where you are losing energy to things that don't matter to you). But also, be kind to yourself and realistic about what you are actually capable of with all your personal limitations and challenges. Don't let other people determine what you are capable of, whether that's because you can do more than they think you (or they) can do, or if you can do less than they expect from you but YOU know it's your best. Don't discount work or effort that is not commodifiable to capitalism but IS important, like coping, or healing, working on interpersonal relationships, setting boundaries, confronting hard truths, etc. Don't discount work that is 'invisible' but tantamount to your or other people's survival or growth (especially if you have a mental or chronic illness and can't consistently engage in highly visible or labour intensive work). We can do this ❤

[@MissShaneice]

love the cut. welcome to the balds! short hair is it!! i'm telling you. it's been 16 years for me, and it's been short ever since. trust me, you'll love it. the glasses go great with your whole aesthetic to.

[@BrandyAHyatt]

I really want to join a dance class. I love dancing and it makes me feel good and at peace. The addition of doing it with others is also great because I can bond with new people.

[@kiragreen95]

Bald is the best!!! I'm thinking of going back! One thing that I can do to let love and joy flow in my life is not begging for it. If it comes, great. If I have to give it to myself, I'm going to work on showing up for myself. Another amazing diary!! ❤❤

[@MakedaNieare]

I'm here for this baldhead era!

[@mofutures]

one of the ways that im letting joy flow by spending more time offline & only watching content and media that are actually fulfilling to me! love these video diaries, enjoy your bald head & happy 2024 !!! also wanted to say that the second to last part about curving people & everyone thinking that the way you're talking is flirting is exactly what ive been experiencing!!!!! i would love a full video on that cuz its kinda stressful idk how to handle it lol and a video about letting love flow is also very welcome.... anyways thank you for sharing again!

[@Kelistar84]

"LETTING IT FLOW"...in the way I see the world, situations...see it through a different lens to allow for "favor" in my life.

[@nova6808]

honestly...ive been finding my joy in makeup again. it's been such a useful way of art and i love it everytime.

[@jriooisas]

Answer to your question: Let people know more openly how much affection and love I have for them. I feel like it’s become cringe or uncool to let people know how much you love them. But it genuinely brings me joy to tell my friends and family how much I appreciate and love them. And hopefully if i do it enough for the they’ll feel safe enough as well to communicate it back.

[@cnalozie]

two months ago i shaved my head, I started with a taper (like your previous look) because I was too scared to go all the way. like a week later, i bought a set of clippers and just went to town in my mom's bathroom. it really was so freeing. for a long time I was going to wait until 30 so i could start that chapter of life in one go. but it felt too much like I was waiting for my life to start, so i said f it. and saame on finding out you fine fr, like stripped back. i'm realizing so much is hidden with hair. ive been hiding for so long without realizing it. it's even influenced the way i've been dressing. i am funky glasses and baubles bald. and I truly thought that was going to be me in my 60s or something. not to be weird, but im glad im experiencing this at a similar time..

[@jab0623]

Here to confirm that you did,in fact, make the correct decision to get those shades, Jade! You look fire!🔥🔥🔥 Happy New Year! I can be less critical of the person who wants to help me.

[@magpielvira]

love these diaries and i loooove that they’re something sincere to return to. so much content is just escape and distraction from reality

[@Cassadilla3]

I was thinking...why does Mal look familiar. Lol. Oh yeah The Ultimatum show. She was one of my favorites.

[@DomWasHere]

I will let love and peace flow easier this year but limiting how often I spend time scrolling on social media, getting out of my head and truly being present when engaging with others, allowing myself to take up space; be heard, seen, and felt. Therapy!!! After years of contemplating it, I think I’m finally ready to embark on my journey of starting therapy and deep healing. Jade, I live for your video diaries and look forward to more. Also, bald look is IT for you. I love it!

[@frankieee1204]

This has to be one of my top favorite videos of yours. Thank you for existing.

[@iamjadefox]

ty ❤️ i’m glad you liked it

[@Naioki4]

The "oh lord" I let out when you said "I was raised by a Virgo and Capricorn" A Capricorn alone is rough. AND a Virgo? Chile 🫂

[@ucleigh]

To let love flow into my life I could listen and respond to only what feels right in my body more often. There are times when our body knows before our mind does, so I feel I can benefit from honoring that gut feeling.

[@TheKymberly13]

Love listening to your videos while crocheting ✨ - one way I ll let love/joy flow this year is by trusting myself more, being more present (which is pretty effing hard as an overthinking aquarius) and just ACCEPT love.. stop feeling undeserving and like I need to earn it to enjoy it.

[@lana20173]

2024 I am self healing and letting forgiveness flow. I want to let go of grudges but value my comfort too. Great vid Jade! Hair eatsss

[@lavenaze]

2024 is for letting love and joy and ease flow!!! i almost teared up, your words resonated with me so deeply. thank you, thank you jade

[@soilgrasswaterair]

The sensation on the scalp sans hair during a shower, that is something else🥰

[@medorakea7327]

one thing i can definitely do is work on noticing when i’m feeling myself starting to pull away from a relationship that’s barely started & bring the other person into how i’m feeling and being in relationship together about it instead of just letting myself fall away

[@billiedoesbeats]

Your channel is hitting its stride. It’s giving depth and fun at the same time.

[@bizzadams]

I had the opposite experience being bald, I felt like it made every outfit. Something regular became a look when I was bald headed

[@fudgecmq]

JADE my word for 2024 is Flow!!! Everything you were saying from 27:51 on resonated with me so much. We've all learned to protect ourselves through covid, to try and work from a place of being centered in ourselves in the aftermath - but it feels like the time is ripe to be able to reach back out into community and intentionally create ease. I'm so with you and flowin with you!

[@MakedaNieare]

Omg you and Mal eyeglass shopping is everything y'all the cutest 😍😍

[@gallivantingchrissy]

This has to be one of my favorite videos of yours. Here for this energy!

[@LovingSoul61]

"I like things to feel big and sexy" I felt this in my soul❤ I adore you and this series!!!

[@NiCholeMoody]

Check it...I paused again at the end to say....My motto for 2024 is: Don't Steal Your Own Joy! I feel like that sums up what you are saying. At least from the therapist conversation, that is how I interpreted it. I could be wrong but, the advice is Solid.

[@ELmayberry]

ooh... love that. don't steal your own joy, is both a good motto and good advice 😊

[@IAMPRETTYPHX]

27:44 so relatable… I avoid eye contact altogether let alone talking🥺 something about my aura is inviting/ flirtatious 😮‍💨

[@someonesomehow379]

13:38 it's CRAZY how much this spoke to me- unreal fr + I'm proud of u for that jade! 🫂

[@Baitlynbeez]

To release expectations and therefore disappointment about how things “should” work out

[@BlairsBehavior]

Your growth & self-reflection has been astounding to watch. Looking forward to seeing more of you in 2024 and following your journey!

[@Cydchelise]

I’m so happy for you! Being bald was one of the best era’s of my life. Very freeing. I can’t wait to see how you evolve with it

[@floridianic]

I shaved my head about 10 years ago because it was a security blanket, and I've been buzzing it myself (1/2 guard) for about a year and a half. I love it so much the way it is. To each their own, but you couldn't pay me to grow it out again. I learned to love myself with my hair this way and I feel like I'm my truest with it short.

[@luvpurple95]

i love you jade your channel is so peaceful. you are on the peaceful side of the internet

[@Abundanc3beats]

I cut off my hair the last week of December too. I had been growing it for like 8 years. I was tired of the process and the haircare. It’s so freeing to have like 2 inches of hair! You look great Jade!

[@adreinlobby9826]

Blessings on your way Jade! I can't wait to see what you're going to cook up on your channels! I'm a young black creative and it's a bit hard for me to express myself how I want, especially since people are used to me as a certain person but your vids bring me so much comfort. Big ups to you, all the love and light

[@itsthebullinmelove4478]

Almond milk studs… I like that😂. Love the new look. Love you and Mal chilling together. Were the frames Akila? The brown ones I’m asking about

[@chantemcnish92]

Jade, been here since the beginning. Just a quiet subbie, but I do want to say that I appreciate this new transition in the video diaries truly helped me through what my life looks like right now. I know it’s mostly for you, but if you decide to keep it up, we love it over here.

[@Sunzstar]

In order to leave love, peace and harmony flow I will cut off all attention I don't want like hate, judging myself and others, overthinking about the past and future. I will just focus on what I can control and my dreams.

[@bluecoatboyy]

i'm loving this video diary series. it feels so lovely. hugs to yew jade xoxo

[@AikoAvielle]

"you don't have to feel any way about accepting love." I NEEDED THAT. I've earned it.

[@Megnificentness]

loving everything about this video and this era of Jade

[@SomeRandomBlackWoman]

I’m femme and I finally cut my hair off again in Oct. I’ve been wanting to wear wigs and so now I do when I wanna change it up. Also, great for winter lol. I was so concerned to cut it again for some reason like I hadn’t done it before lol. It’s so freeing. I love having hair but I hate the maintenance. It looks great on you, Jade. Those with platinum face cards can go sans hair 🤷🏾‍♀️. I’m glad to be in that number 🤌🏾🫡

[@shannoncoopershell]

I personally have wanted you to cut your hair like this for years. You look as beautiful as I knew you would! You have been such an inspiration, and I could honestly listen to you speak constantly. Congratulations on your growth, Love.

[@jubiterr]

This series is eye opening. I watched your videos on your other channel and I had no idea you were so cool INSIDE out. Keep it up girl 💫

[@aworkofart.92]

Happy New Year! I really enjoy watching this video diary as well as the others. You spoke to me in so many different ways. BIG BALD! I love it. I did the same thing after I cut my dreads off but I’m currently growing it out. Let it Snow is a staple every year for me. Been playing it since I was a kid. This year, I want to let joy and happiness come to me in whatever form it does. I want to try and not worry about the future or milestones that can hinder my current happiness. Thank you for your content ❤

[@blythecoleman-mumford2934]

Yup, once you know you a baddie bald, there's no looking back...."it's vulnerable to be a confident person"..sheesh the relatabilityyyy.

[@flazay_da]

I don't usually thirst on this channel but omg Mal!!

[@Osher-ov6ej]

I will let love flow easier this year by letting myself be seen and heard. Love hearing about your journey and thoughts, I hope this year will bring all your wishes come true in the best ways

[@moody2415]

my aunt asks us for a word for the year every year and this one was peace for me

[@papi_manny]

This haircut is really bomb on you and the more I look at you. I'm like ayyyeeee get it Jade

[@RespectfulCicada]

OMG that last bit is so relatable for me. My wife has been teaching me so much about just accepting love ❤️🥰💝

[@saintc7790]

OMG congratulations! That’s a hell of a way to start 2024! I hope it feels as refreshing as it looks!

[@HealingInsideMyMind]

Jade! You and Arrows served me tonight and I love you two for that! ❤️

[@oooladip]

My answer to how to let joy, love and peace flow is say yes to the adventure

[@iamjadefox]

oooo 2024 boutta be real fun lol

[@daminicat]

I'm really glad you didn't cave into any pressure to record your hair getting shaved and that you let that moment be for you and not for an audience. You are lookin so gorgeous and you know it! 😆🙌🏽 Happy New Year Jade 💖

[@bombshelb1289]

Soooo excited that these video diaries are going to continue. This is definitely some of your best work Jade - all your work vibes in some way, that's why I'm subscribed, lol - but this series coming from a more consciously intentional You is *chef's kiss* Loving the bald, loving the energy. And to answer your question, my plan to let love flow more freely is to work on catching triggers and releasing that tension before I react to them. Finding ways to decompress before I become compressed. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

[@nishabeeda]

I love the new hair and also Mal!!!

[@magpielvira]

always proud of you and SO ecstatic to see who you’re growing to be

[@emilyonizuka4698]

yes! sometimes you just need a fresh start with your hair! I shaved mine last year. it has grown back now (still experimenting with it) and it's such an experience.

[@Xpporrtata]

Love the format with the mix of clips + commentary. Happy New Year 🎉

[@lovelight8722]

I love me some Mal, from what I’ve seen they are such a lovely person.

[@hillaryc2903]

To answer the question of the week, I know that I can simply be more publicly available to let love follow more into my life. I am currently in school getting my second degree, & for me, its been very easy to lock myself into getting school work done & self improvement task work. That idea of being productive all the time. For example, whenever I'm walking to classes I always have my headphones on. Usually on full blast lol. I've had multiple friends come up to me during different parts of the day & say, "Hillary girl?! I saw you this morning & yelled your name & you didn't even turn around? You aight?" I can be so tucked away in music, a podcast, an audio book or my own world sometimes that I miss out on the love that I've been asking to receive. Whether it's friendly, platonic or romantic.

[@ratinthehat_]

You look 🔥🔥🔥 Jade. What a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing with us and giving us insight into your thoughts. I really like watching your channel:) thank you for the great content.

[@kappagrealy9040]

I will let joy, love & peace flow more easily to me by believing in myself that bit more

[@1hanakimi]

I love how I just knew the R&B version of Let It Snow was gonna be the Boys to Men version!!! 😂😂😂 It has no business being that sexy!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts for this past years Jade! Let’s make 2024 even better!!! 💜💜💜

[@damedench]

Jade, you look GOOD! The cut is everything and then some!

[@bluebutterflyofdoom]

This looks sooooo good. I can't go bald because I have a really big mole on the side of my head but I might cut it really short if my hair dye adventures go poorly this weekend.

[@mlhun92]

This haircut is absolutely it!! I love love love it!
