Your video reminds me of a quote from your book: 'To be honest, I'd rather have two more miserable days with you than two okay days without.' It got me thinking-if living a 3-star life is just okay, I’d rather embrace the ups and downs of 1-star and 5-star days with my whole self. It’s about truly living and putting myself out there, rather than letting the fear of rejection hold me back at the expense of authenticity.

Just noticed another 60 something year old who commented on your video and I thought Jenny really has a quite a following of more senior followers (myself included at 63!) I always enjoy your thought provoking videos. Keep doing what you do and being your 5 Star self. Merry Christmas to you and David. 🧡🎄

Accchhhhh - i cannot pretend. I am almost always my sharp-witted self. Some cannot stand me; others gravitate AND with a few, the reaction changes over time.

I had this same realization this year, and there is a freedom to that. OddlyI have never thought of myself as someone who cares what others think but apparently I did. I think a lot of times it is something that you realize when you finally feel safe. There is a certain privilege to being able to afford to not care about others opinions as much.

this is a really interesting take on rating art that i haven't heard before!! i feel like personally i've always been my 3-star average self, especially where i am now - new job, new friends, etc. i think my 3-star self shows up when i'm out of my comfort zone, which is pretty often! i'm not even sure what my 5-star self would be, so i have a lot to think about, thanks for sharing jenny!

I love how you explained this, Jenny! I am 69 years old and I lived a three-star life for far too long. I am trying out life now as a five-star/one-star person. Thanks for being one of those people inspiring me to do so and for putting words to it. You have given me another boost to my confidence. 🩷

Thank you for sharing this evolving perspective, Jenny. ⭐This is one area that I love about time. It is the gift of growing older. ⏳That the deep need to be ourselves shines through. Those who don’t ‘get’ me… I send well wishes and move forward. 🙏I believe we are here to be fully ourselves surrounded in compassion for others to do the same. ✨ Happy Holidays, Jenny and David. 🎄

Jenny, what a wonderful friend you must be! I miss having friends, but the best ones have died or have embraced ludicrous conspiracy theories that make friendship exhausting. Too many responsibilities in my old age. I enjoy my own company?

It's sad when you lose good friends, but it's very comforting and self-assuring If we can find joy in being by ourselves. It's bittersweet, I know the feeling. Sending you virtual hugs if you want them :)

I needed this today, maybe even earlier haha. This year's theme for me seems to be about just this--friendship and finding real kinship with people. I had a rough end-of-year last year and, because of a relationship ending, my inherited friend group fizzled out. These things happen, but it made me realize all of the ways I had bent myself in order to fit into a group I never really vibed with and whose values didn't fit mine. I could have saved my emotional energy, but it was difficult in the moment to discern if it just wasn't working or if there was something wrong with me. It's OK to not give everyone 5 stars; not everyone will give me 5 stars haha. Like you mentioned, I find when people are open and show me their flaws, I am more endeared to them and it makes me feel like I can be flawed with them too!

Those Whiskey workout items look awesome. I have 5 star friends but in categories…my ski friends, my book club friends, my cycling friend, my lunch friend, my shopping friend….no one friend fulfills everything. Otherwise, people are acquaintances,neighbours, work colleagues…great people but don’t fit a friend category.

People get overwhelmed by all the input at a certain point in their life. It's a sort of numbness and neutrality that comes with age. I remember LOVING or HATING things more passionately and intensely when I was younger and less experienced. At 44 it's just not the same and I don't think it has anything to do with the artists and authors I come across. It's nearly impossible to surprise me now. The kind of love I experience now is slow burning but also more lasting. It's not bad. There is simply more objectivity and a sense of balance that plays a role in the overall experience. In other words "it's me, not you". Does this make sense? ❤

I love this take. Been thinking a lot on this general topic lately too, and I think I prefer to be remembered for being me over being someone I think I should be. It’s also much more enjoyable. (btw the video editing is so good!)
@katr81855 сағат бұрын
So true. I remember when I was putting on an art show for graduation, we kept thinking about choosing a theme for the show that would appeal to all audiences. We realized that this was an impossible task without being boring, so we decided to be bold with it. Be authentic, have a vision and a voice - and you'll attract the kinds of fans you're looking for

We were just talking with my otherhalf (me without knowing the topic of your new video) about ratings. I came out with a new concept: The Ragings! Instead of telling how good is something we should have only negative scale. Having a few rage fireballs is kind of ok not having any is 100% worth your time and having a lot is again, probably edgy and peeps may just not vibing with it, so that doesn't even matter. (The same way as you described, matters, but should not hurt) 😅

Why would you not read the reviews?
@leoniep92314 сағат бұрын
Because every single review will express a different opinion and you will inevitably be influenced by that, maybe take it to heart, and if you want to consider everyone else's taste you'll lose the bit that's special about your individual writing style. That's my interpretation anyway. If you know what your writing style is, have found what works for you, and are confident in your style and ability, you can maybe read the reviews without being affected by them, I guess that's why the guy said she specifically should not do it for her first book so she won't be dissuaded from writing more. Criticism by the editorial team and possibly good book critics are probably more useful than random reviews.
