Slow Living in London

[@eveklinger4134]

I never usually comment, but now I feel like I have to. Jade, I have really enjoyed your content recently. I moved from Berlin to a small town six month ago (by choice) and it’s been necessary, but very challenging and I’ve been mourning after the loss of friendships, my family and past or dreamed versions of myself. Your representation of feeling your feelings, being kind with yourself and simultaneously building your life in a new city is so so brave and strong and I want to thank you for sharing that online. However, As someone who has realized that I’m autistic within the last months since I moved out, I want to share from my perspective that settling in a new place and building friendships as an adult is a lot more nuanced and difficult than „putting yourself out there“. It took me a long time to build my safe space in this city, and I was only really willing to meet people when I had done that. If you are disabled by a world that is generally not interested in accommodating your support needs, but also if you are an introverted person, it’s not just about mindset. Believing that we are worthy to be loved and being confident in ourselves is really hard for some of us, including me. I feel like the whole individual mindset vs. the systems we live in question is too complex to accurately cover in a vlog of less than 15 minutes. So if you are reading this feeling shit, sad or just numb: you are allowed to feel like that. Life is hard and I’ve thought before that it would be easier to leave and never return. But at least from my experience, there’s always someone out there who appreciates you more than they have told you. You are worthy to be loved just the way you are. You don’t need to earn that value, because you are a human, so you are inherently worthy. Sorry for this long comment, I hope this helps someone.

[@juliette336]

Thanks a lot for that comment. I think it is really important to remember that sometimes its not all about the mindset. For example, living with depression, you often cannot feel happiness/joy, because your brain just does not let you. It doesn't matter how hard you try, sometimes it's literally impossible. I know that it doesn't concern the majority of people, but for those suffering from mental disorders it is so important. It is not your fault, you just have it so sooo much harder. Hold on there, you're doing great just by surviving the day. Better days will come

[@estheraneke232]

I just broke down rn. Like really shaking and crying because this lovely comment triggered that emotion.

[@eveklinger4134]

I honestly don’t know how to respond to this. Just wanting to let you know that expressing your feelings is so strong and healthy even if it feels shit. Sending you a hug into the world if you want that right now ❤️

❤❤❤ wow she’s still uploading while being in Coachella! Now that is SERVING.

[@UnJadedJade]

gurl the fact you noticed this makes my heart HAPPY! i am sitting here in my bed at 4am to get this live hahaha

[@mimii694]

I rediscovered you recently (I used to watch you while I was in sixth form) and it's been tough for me since then. I dropped out of uni twice due to anxiety issues, ended up commuting from home, but I didn't attend classes for a lot of my first year and had to get therapy to help me leave the house. Even now I don't have any friends at university, but I'm hoping to join some societies next semester. I sometimes kick myself for wasting so much time hiding away, not talking to friends, but you've made me realise that nothing is lost, you just need the right mindset to pick yourself back up. I needed time to find myself again and figure out what kind of person I want to be. I unintentionally gave myself time for self-healing which I didn't realise I needed. You inspire me to push myself in spite of feeling like I've wasted time. Here's to 21 being one of the best years of my life, because whatever happens, happens for a reason. So much love for you, thank you

[@ciaraoshea7246]

U literally just described my life! Thank u so much for sharing, sending love ❤

[@HeyItsMe_Chris]

These videos make me feel so calm

[@UnJadedJade]

this makes me so so so happy 🥺✨

[@123canadagirl]

What you’re going through is completely normal. Almost all of us. Went to university met a lot of great people and then we moved away and started our lives. Some people we stayed in touch with and other sadly we didn’t. It takes effort to maintain friendships over decades. Your 24 young healthy and living in London. London is at your feet. Your whole life is ahead of you embrace it! go out and live your life. Enjoy it! You only get one so live it! I’ve almost died twice and I’m in my 50s and that’s a lesson that I learned from cancer is that life is short so make the days count! do the things that you want to do! live your life. Yes you have responsibilities we all do but make time for yourself and your dreams as well. They do matter. be glad you have the agency that you have because there are people in the world that don’t have as many choices. It’s a blessing to have agency not a curse.

[@Salted_Caramel-kb]

I love the fact that you are embracing volunteering in the community garden. It's really interesting seeing the skills you picked up in Minerva, around community and connection, being used as you start this next chapter. Well done!

[@emielou]

The little birthday party was my whole heart, how absolutely delightful. I've just gone 42 and can only wish I had these sorts of friendships in my life. You are a wonder Jade, teaching all of us to appreciate more and stress less:)

[@roshinisudhaharan5808]

This is such a wholesome one. “Be the kind of friend you want to attract”❤️✨

[@salsarin3502]

It’s actually so validating to hear that you also find yourself exploring volunteering and leaning into community during a time when you thought you’d be “corporate girlbossing”… because that is also my exact situation currently post-college! It feels strange and unorthodox but I love it.

[@shesfullofbubbles]

When I get bogged down in the doom and gloom of being a disabled person, your vlogs and videos really do make me feel so much brighter and more mindful. Your most recent chapter has been so important not only to you, but to this community that you have fostered too. Growth and change is always happening, and it is so easy to get lost in the dreariness of it all - especially in an abled world when you're a disabled person - but mindful moments and reminders to refocus on ourselves, our intentions, and the energy we want to hold can make a world of difference. I have no idea when to expect your podcast Jade, but I do know that I will be listening to every episode religiously, and hope that one day I get to hear/speak to you about living intentionally when you aren't able-bodied or there are societal and systemic barriers that try to keep those gates closed for you. Your friendship with Mik is so wholesome, and she sounds like an incredibly inspiring person too. Stay true to yourself, it's when you are most beautiful and shining! ✨

[@CharlieWard98]

The music in your videos is always so beautiful and fitting, thanks for making this.

[@UnJadedJade]

this means so much, thank you!! 🥹

I’m in a similar chapter of life and you have no idea how much your videos are bringing me comfort 🙏🏼

[@federicade6382]

Jade, I've read Mikaela's book thanks to your recommendation and I want to thank you so much!! Since I was a kid I've always loved nature and cared about our little planet, but the book gave me such a new insight into capitalism and racial injustice and planted the seed to do more research and find my way of making a difference in that area! I've also been slowly reading "All we can save" tearing up at every chapter and I've started "Ministry for the future", soooo weird and interesting, I love them all so THANK YOU for being so awesome and always inspiring us all 💖

[@priya5427]

You have such positive/ healing energy and a good vibe! You're a kindred spirit who radiates warmth and lightness ; a butterfly. Few things give me as much real joy as seeing your stories & videos. It inspires me to be myself even more!! This video gave me such deep hope and happiness, I was in tears by the time you went to the ocean, in it. I spent my birthday alone and crying, too because am going through a similar transition...i did receive cake and love, afterwards and am grateful x

[@Uhhit67]

Life has been very tough, your videos bring me comfort and a bit of hope. Thank you Jade

[@madelainebutler1514]

Jade, your constant growth, curiosity and love is infectious. I find myself so inspired by not only how you talk about your dreams and aspirations to change yourself and your community but how you actually go out and DO them, make them a reality. I aspire to have the energy and zest for life that you do

[@leat7738]

I just signed up for volunteering in my city!!! You inspired me to do so many new things, thank you 🩷

[@emibud1055]

I've been going on a binge the past few days of your death/ rebirth cycle videos, from the past year or so. I just moved to Scotland with my husband and our new (only) baby. We are the same age (24) so it feels a bit crazy to say that haha. But I feel I've been going through a similar death/ rebirth cycle of my own, from a single woman to a young married one and then unexpectedly to a mother. That's like two or three deaths in a row. And now I'm moving from London to a new country (yes, Scotland is independent in the minds of Scots) without my family and my childhood/ uni friends and I feel lost and unsure and lonely and I also don't get a lot of time to process things either. So watching your Brighton moving vlogs (which is basically my hometown) and then going back to see your joruney for most of this year has been so... Illuminating. And rfreshing. LIke chicken soup for the soul. Please never stop posting

[@anngladyo5668]

Jade, you're such an inspiration! Thank you for being you!

[@andyguzman2526]

Jade thank you so much for your last few videos on your move. Thank you for being so raw and affirming how normal it is to feel so much, particularly when so many components of our life are in the process of becoming. I moved to Granada, Spain back in September and my first two weeks were just like everything you had experienced at your start in London. It's been a while since then and I understand more now why so many things have shifted the way they did. The sadness and loneliness seem now like old friends that were only there then to push me to who I am now. It feels really nice to have processed that time looking back at it now, your videos serving as a mirror to allow me to reflect. Thanks for reminding me today how beautiful it is to feel. Sending so much love.

[@christiebecerril8113]

Yesss this is so lovely! I'm living for your friend throwing you a birthday celebration, how wonderful and special!

Yes, indeed, life can throw lemons at us and derail dreams, plans and ambitions. It’s up to us though, to find our way through or around the obstacles we face. I’m proud of you Jade, for being resourceful - by doing the work and taking chances to improve yourself and your circumstances. Adulting is very hard sometimes! Sending hugs across the pond.

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

some obstacles we cannot or are not in the privelged position to over come, not everything is up to us, we live in an extremely unfair world and society

[@tr9066]

@@maneskinnnnn7190 my comment was specific to Jade and her video content. I am not naive to the true suffering and hurt that exists in this world, especially due to circumstances beyond our control and I do hope that you can experience true happiness in life - you deserve it.

i just cried for almost the whole video. currently i am a full-time traveler and in a constant state of a missing people but also a indescribable gratitude. seeing you navigating your life, being so gentle and open hearted helps me not to close my heart after a painful goodbyes and experiencing grief. thank you for showing up authentically and showing us that sensitivity is a strength! sending you a lots of love and joy!

You have showed me that I am my own life, and can steer it in any direction I choose. You have saved me in more ways than one and for that, I thank you. ❤

No but your make up slays. It's really really helping me to get out of my only wearing male clothes just because it's the total opposite of female. The pearls, they're just, giving.

So I agree with you - being authentic allows others to be authentic too, even if it means separating and taking different paths.💕

so if we feel sad and depressed, and we should feel our feelings you say, but if the sadness doens't pass can we still choose happiness? is that not supressing our emotions? i have ocd and i cant choose happiness, i cant afford therapy so sadly its not in my control to change my life at the moment. some people are stuck in jobs they hate just to pay the bills, yes they arent happy with their life but they have no choice for now to work there if they genuinely cannot find another job

[@pepsicolla123]
