hiiii sweet friends! 🦋 I hope this video reminds you that sometimes life throws us new surprises that are out of our control, but it’s up to us to ride the waves and trust that everything happens for a reason. It took me so long to finally feel at home in this flat in London and I had envisioned building longer-term roots here, but I really believe that everything’s meant to be and that for whatever reason, I’m meant to move onto something new. I'm also so aware of my privilege as I move through these moments of uncertainty and I'm grateful to have a family home to go back to. I think about people who are displaced all over the world who don't have the same luxuries. Soooooo yes it's been a hectic month, but it's also only a flat😌✨lots of love and thank you for your sweet words
Jade, this is exactly what happened to me this summer. A person owning the flat decided to sell it. I work at school, so during my summer break suddenly, when I was supposed to be resting, I had to deal with looking for something new and especially with the stress connected with change. You also said that you finally felt like you are adjusting. I had the same. Right now, I'm in a new flat, but the change is the hardest I've ever done (I already moved a couple of times). I really liked my precious flat and neighbourhood. I don't know if it makes you feel better. But you're not alone. Somebody in Poland, had the same expedience😂❤
Good luck, there's always better yet to come, and you'll find something beautifu l outta this. Thanks for haaving the courage to share this and I pray you'll make it outta this mess soon
Just the fact that this flat in Brighton came up the moment you had to leave London makes it feel like London was the place that held you in your death phase and now Brighton is here for the Rebirth part ❤
Brighton is a GREAT choice, they are SO many great people and positivity. Such a great vibe and energy, you will florish for sure and be your must better self. I wish you all the luck and I am sure that you made the right choice... the coincidence was a bit... well perfect
I also being kicked out of my old flat just for one year, and just thinking about I would go back to house hunting I felt so despair, but then I found my current flat, made new friends, and it's so much better than my old one.
Hi lovely Jade💖 I remember what you said while you were travelling in Germany, that you craved a more tranquil place than London, and more connected to nature and possibly by a lake or something...and here comes Brighton😍😍 how amazing life is🫶 l'm so happy for your new chapter. Thank you for spreading your love and casual magic on earth💕💜
I lived in London for a year and a half and for someone coming from a small town in a small country, the no smiling no eye contact no chatting to strangers was killing me from the inside. I had my worst depressive episode there. I lived in other cities like Paris but London just seemed so grim and so hustle-focused compared to anywhere else. I was so happy to leave it! I once visited Brighton and it seemed so much lighter and brighter! I hope you enjoy it!
Oh Jade this is so beautiful ❤ I understand you 100% because I lost both my job and my flat over the past few months. Focussing on finding both at the same time was absolutely wrecking my mental health, but then all of a sudden I had a new housing opportunity come my way in an unexpected manner. I took the plunge on the flat, even though I don’t have a new job yet and I already feel SO much more energised and more like myself. I hope you have the most incredible time in Brighton - what an amazing place to move to. Onwards and upwards xx
I love this for you. Following my gut has never lead me astray. I recently had the gut feeling to move back to the country I was born, but to a city I had never been to before. It's. been terrifying and exilerating, but once I made the decision, I couldn't imagine my life any other way. My old life ended to make way for my new life here.
omg feels like you just moved in!!! and she’s kicking you out?? this is tough, sending you all my support and love 💕 i know you’ll find your stability but looks like the universe wants you to move… yet again 🥲💗
The best of lucks in this new chapter Jade! I'm sure Brighton will bring you so much joy and happiness. Thank you for you authenticity and your brave voice. I wish u the best! Greetings from Argentina!
Jade, I am glad that you found a new place in Brighton. Living in Brighton is better than living in London because it is a much smaller town and you can find your way around places very quickly.
Hi Jade! Thank you so much for helping me feel more happy, seen and…understood. Especially since I’m 11 and a half, going through the pre teen difficulties. Sending lots of hugs! P.s I’ve recommended your channel to a couple of my friends and you’ve really helped them too.
I was rewatching your video about how to make a new city your home a few days ago (I just moved to study in Madrid), and you said to focus on our daily routines and things that ground us to feel more at home. And watching this I realized that your videos have been such a big part of these past few years, hoping from country to country to study. Just like, as a way to stop panicking and make a plan to move ahead, because other people are also lost and lonely and freaking out when they move to a new place. Watching you being honest about your feelings and still doing all these amazing things just feels very reassuring haha… so just wanted to say thanx for the past few years Jade
@@UnJadedJade thanks for the feedback. I'm an ex-Maths tutor and I'm about to come out of retirement. I've used your "How to Study" book to help me reactivate some unused brain cells !
Jadeeeee this is so beautiful! Your journey over this past year gives me so much hope. 🥺 I can't thank you enough for sharing. All the best for your next chapter and sending you so much love!! ❤🦋
I lived in Brighton for a linguistic travel years ago, and honestly I had the best time there, it was the coolest, more open-minded and chill city I ever lived in! This city suits you so much, I really feel like this was meant to be!!
I've had to move 4 times in this year itself - this video was super relatable. I don't know a lot of people who have had this hard of a time house hunting. You've got this!
I haven’t thought of tarot cards as a tool for reflection before, but the way you explained it in this video I’m ready to get my own set to use them as way to navigate similar challenges I’m facing in my own life. I love your reflective nature you have on life and you have really taught me to be more self reflective and present in my own ❤
Jade, you are hands down the most inspiring person on the internet!! The way you approach problems and life in general has taught me so much and is exactly how I wanna be living my life. So thank you for all your work and all the love you pour into these videos, they have become my comfort content over the last few years! I wish you the best for your journey in Brighton❤ also I can't wait for your podcast:)
just a few mins in but i had a thought - you know the butterfly metaphor you mentioned a while ago, maybe this flat was your cocoon where you could heal, process everything so it makes sense that now that you feel better, you can move onto new things and places. of course it is annoying and frustrating to be kicked out!
this made me cry!! i spent the whole summer looking for flats to move into but gave up in the end because it just seemed never ending!! ive recently decided to try again but im SO SCAREDD!! its honestly just super stressful :( your video made me feel like im not alone in this struggle thank you :)
Omg, Im so happy for you Im crying! Ive been following you since the start and I am so proud of you and your journey! When you said that you got this invitation I immediately felt that this is where the "big" life starts for Jade! Congratulations to making an amazing choice!
I'm moving out of choice & AAAARG my last few days here are amazing! Thanks for confirming that change is hard & reminding me that everything is temporary.
Hii jade, I just wanted to say that you are the most beautiful soul ever, I’m much younger than you and you are such an amazing role model, you are so inspiring!! You just seem like such a wonderful person and you spread so much joy, I’m super grateful for your RUclips channel 🥰🥰
Omg gurlll you will LOVE Brighton!!! 🎉 I lived there for 4 years and miss it sooo much, it's the best most magical loving and special place ever ❤ soak it all in, life is about to get even sweeter!
I live and study in Brighton and think you will flourish here, I never feel judged for being who I am and feel fully welcomed and it’s so nice to be near the mountains and oceans, the only downside is the renting prices lol, hopefully I see you around ❤
Honestly, I love how you the took lemons that life threw at you and literally made the sweetest lemonade out there for yourself. Love how you open your heart and embrace the signs by the universe to guide you always. And it always brings you to the right path. The way you handled this situation and tuned into your feelings, intuition and your needs is truly inspiring. The way you live life is truly inspiring, Jade. 🥹 Wishing you luck and love for the new phase.🩷
I lived in London for a bit and really loved it there, but as soon as you mentioned potentially moving to Brighton I was like omg Jade would really fit there so well! I’m so happy for you how everything worked out in the end 💖
OHMYGOD I live in Brighton!! I have felt this way about this place and i've lived here for 3 years now and it is one of the best places I've been in. the people here are fairly nice and the beach even on a windy winter evening, will still be one of the highlights of my day. life can be so serendipitous and it leading you to Brighton will definitely be one of the best paths!! good luck Jade, I hope this city gives you as much as I know it's given so many (also the bus drivers can be quite friendly here and most people appreciate and give back a smile :'))
Brighton is fabulous & I can’t imagine anywhere that would be better suited. It’s hip, trendy, relaxed & so open minded. Enjoy & make yourself a new adventure & home ❤
Jade, your response to life is truly innspiring.I just moved to my new place that is so much more suitable for me but I was romanticising the very place I hated a month before I had to move out. The beauty of transience. Shows us we are capable of appreciating the very thing we once hated. You have articulated the thoughts and emotions that I also went through very recently so well in this beautiful video. Your videos are sometimes a mirror to me. Truly appreciate the impact you're having on people. Lots of love
I hope you enjoy Brighton - my cousin lives there - it's always felt to me as somewhere to visit but not to live. It's a small population (300k I think). Hope you like it. I think for some those sorts of place are the perfect size. I found London pretty overwhelming at times coming originally from an absolutely tiny seaside town. When I first moved to London "search gyms near me" - here are 87 results where as where I am originally from you have a choice of about 3. Seems like you'll enjoy it Jade.
I Live in Brighton, in my second year of university and it’s honestly just great. There’s so many lovely people and the vibe is amazing too. Hope you have a wonderful time here !!
Life always has us on the perpetual move like a flowing river, never really remaining rooted in one place. It is a constant movement that defies stasis, by way of Heraclitus, the pre-Socratic philosopher 🧡 Hope you find your footing
I never comment, but I was just looking if there would be one new video of yours. I recently started university in another city, and I'm having a really horrible time. Hope everything goes well for you (and me). Thanks for this internet space :)
It's a huge change and not all of it positive, but are there any aspects you can enjoy? I personally hated living in London initially, but then gradually acclimatised and made friends on my course. Hope things brighten up for you, but if you need help, please do let yourself ask!
As someone who has moved constantly for the last 7 years, I have bought my first house in May and I’m tied in for 5 years I fully understand how exhausting (both mentally and physically) moving is. It feels like restarting again and again but hold on to that feeling of fitting into an area/community again. I do think it also felt sooo daunting to commit to 5 years let alone longer so I would say anyone who is struggling with moving a lot hold on to the positives: to fresh starts, exploring new areas and getting to know new people. I love where I live now but it does just take time and patience ❤
Thank you for sharing. I'm not as accustomed to moving as you are, but your story & encouragement is helping me. I'm currently in the process of moving to a very different but also lovely place.
I know it can sometimes feel like you can't let a place (or a person) go because they helped you to grow so much or because it's the place where you overcame so many struggles. But the beautiful thing is: You get to keep all that. All the ways you developed to overcome those obstacles, all the strength you built and everything you've learned - you get to keep it, you can take it with you wherever you go. All the love from Germany and sending so many good vibes for your start in Brighton! Just goes to show (again) that everything happens for a reason ♥ Love and hugs - Jess🌻
I share your sentiments about tarot, Jade. I’m an INFJ and tarot feels like such a beautiful way to communicate with - and be guided by - my intuition. ✨ GOOD LUCK with your move to Brighton. I hope that it will make a happy home, x
I think Brighton will suit you perfectly! It's such a welcoming, bright, lively yet peaceful city, and definitely very open-minded :) less hustle culture, more living. And the seaside 😍 I wish you all the best with the move, and I hope you'll thrive there just as much as you imagined it! Maybe it helps not frame it as "loneliness again" but as "new opportunities arise". I'm sure it'll be easier to find community in Brighton in many ways because it isn't so overwhelmingly huge, and because it draws in different people!
I lived in Brighton during my years of uni. I had to move back home because I couldn’t afford to live there anymore, and I’ve never missed a place so much. Jade I’m telling you, you’re gonna love it.
Jade… your videos have been a safe space and inspiration to me through some very formative years. In a way you remind me of the older sister I never had. Likewise, you’ve helped me find the courage to listen to my intuition. Thank you for everything, and I can’t wait to watch you thrive in Brighton!!!
Gosh, I just have the sweet feeling that the Universe takes us in mysterious paths, and our heart lead us, may September, and all the upcoming months, and years be soft, kind, and gentle with you! Hope you get that safeness you always give to all your followers!
Hey Jade, thank you so much for showing us headspace! My doctor told me to start meditating for my health. So for the university students of you all: I discovered that you can get headspace for 9€ a year!! So after your free trial this may be a great affordable option ❤
The issue is of course, in the end, these homes are owned by someone and who are we to tell them what to do? It's a hard issue to solve, i think the solution would more housing, in parlicuar, more social housing
@@lukesavage3067These houses are owned by someone yes, but that someone decided to rent it out. That should come with some responsibily towards the renter/renter protection, otherwise renters are dependen on the whims of the landlord. I live in the Netherlands and here if your landlord wants you out before the end of your lease withour a valid reason they can't just do it. They either have to provide a different place for you, buy you out of the contract or have to wait until the contract is over.
@@lukesavage3067giving someone, who has done nothing wrong, a month to find a new place, pack up their things and leave is seriously messed up in my opinion. You can agree to disagree.
Thank you for this video Jade! I have also been struggling to come to a decision of leaving one country where I'm currently working abroad to go work in another and your video has made me feel more confident in my decision to leave and start a new chapter. I also started to feel that there is still so much I haven't explored in the current city where I'm working, but have also realized that it's only when something feels temporary, that we start to appreciate it. Therefore by staying longer in this city, nothing will change. But by taking a risk and starting a new chapter, I will grow more into the person I want to be and I'm excited to see how it unfolds:) All the best for your new journey
you would like brighton its like camden on a beach. you can always come back if you don't like it!! it's your vibe. you also need to do the hike on seven sister.
Jade your videos never fail to make me smile! I admire the way you deal with change and difficult situations - thank you so much for creating this space of honesty and vulnerability 💌 I wish you the best for your new chapter 🤞🏽🌻
I moved to Brighton for university and it was the best decision I ever made!! The coolest city and it rlly has everything you need. So easy and relaxing to live here and is the best place to find yourself!
All the best for Brighton Jade!! I love how you aren't afraid to show the struggles of life, instead of pretending everything's perfect all the time , which people tend to do online. I'm heading into a period of uncertainty at the moment (leaving high school, going to uni etc) and you're a real inspiration with how to deal with these things and stay true to yourself. Sending love from New Zealand! ❤
I have just went through Section 21 and the last 2 months were hell and I feel you so so much! But when I finally found the new house I truly believed it was meant to be. I am in a way better situation than I was which I have never thought would be possible. So there is hope. But I am sending lots of hugs because it is hard and it should have never happened. P.S. I love Brighton! Brighton was the first place in the UK where I felt at home. Sadly I have just had to move away from (fortunately not far from Brighton so still can visit) it but trust me you will love it! Brighton is such your vibe and you feel at home within minutes! Btw I highly recommend visiting Egg Spoon Cafe in Kemptown is my absolute favourite!
Jade you’re gonna fall in love with Brighton. I lived there for my Masters degree (2018/19) and it is such a vibrant, diverse and creative town where everything is walkable and the community is just lovely. ☺️ if i would ever move back to the UK (I’m German) I would choose Brighton again and again ☺️. I used the app ‚meet-up‘ to find likeminded people/new friends and it was amazing!
I saw a story saying you were going back to your parents house, so i was watching this thinking u wouldnt find a place and would have to go back home.... The Universe rly holds us dear and knows wut we need, i feel like the london flat was a place to shed the hurt, to heal wounds, and in august (which u said was your happiest month) the universe saw your healing and authentic living and guided u into the place u need to be right now❤❤ wishing u the best Jade, Brighton sounds wonderful and i hope it serves your highest self❤️❤️ lots of love from Portugal 🇵🇹
wowww jade this is so exciting :’) i’m always so inspired by the way you handle adversity & your optimism towards life 🫶 also, your storytelling is incredible!! so many gorgeous shots - wishing you magic in this new chapter 💖
Gah Wonderful Jade! I am moving out of my family home for university this year and feeling so many mixed emotions. The bit you said about the beauty in finally making a decision resonated so much with my current timid heart. I am so excited for this new chapter and all the beautiful opportunities and moments it will inevitably sprout. Wishing nothing but the best for you. Thank you, you gem
Ow, Jade 😭 I wasn't kicked out but I moved to a shared house for uni, and it's HARD to think abt money all the time so I'm considering moving out again soon It's time to learn some lessons and go where we're supposed to be to learn them ❤ as you said, everything happens for a reason It's funny how our lives and yours, even if they're SO different, can always be related in a way TwT. I wish you the best, Jade!!! 💕💐✨🐝🌻 Lots of love and hugs, we got this!!
Brighton is amazing. I lived there 10 years ago for just 3 months, but I loved it and I still miss the vibe of that city! London is good for visiting, in the end it's incredibly beautiful and has so much to offer. But living in Brighton would be a more relaxed, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience. I hope you will understand what could fit you better🌠
I just found out that im being made redundant from my job so this video really resonated in terms of letting go and trusting that everything happens for a reason 🥰
I can't wait to see your adventures in Brighton. London is great but I have heard so many cool things about Brighton and wish you a safe and happy place there!
How Jade? How did you know that I was going through these feelings? I just stopped crying because I’m finally feeling at home in my place and I’m terrified of being asked to leave by my landlord like my last place and I’m so scared of having to find a new home all over again! I know it hasn’t happened and I’m ok for now, but landlord’s circumstances can change at any point and unless you own your entire sense of security is in someone else’s hands! I was a military kid and moved every year or 2, then went to uni and moved every year, and then have moved twice in the past year since leaving uni housing! And that craving for a home and stability is insanely relatable and unite us all! But you’ve got this, I’ll be fine if it happens to me too, and it’ll all be ok! Love you Jade, keep being you! 💕💕💕
@@UnJadedJade stoppppp I’d acc love that lmk if you’re about and wanna meet up my flatmates are both queer and always looking to meet new ppl in the community 🫶🏻
My mom moved 18 times in her life. Mostly as a kid and a young adult. BTW, if I sit on the for too long, I can barely get up again. So I admire you for eating on a floor table👍
I am beyond happy for you that this opportunity to move to Brighton presented itself right when you needed it most. So excited to see where this new chapter and journey of adulthood takes you!
Hi Jade, I cannot tell you how perfectly timed this video is. I am coming up to 1 month studying abroad on exchange in Amsterdam. I love it but it is overwhelming at times navigating a new place in a new country by myself. It's strange on so many levels but I've been following your journey for a while and know that this was absolutely the right decision for me at this time and I thank you for being such an inspiration and sharing your experiences to us all. Thank you Jade, I wish you all the best in your new adventure in Brighton!! XXX
Congrats in making it to Amsterdam😊 The housing market there is crazy and it's even harder for foreign students. I hope you enjoy your time in The Netherland and be sure to visit some places outside of Amsterdam❤
Hello Jade ✨️ Last month has been quite rough for me, and I found myself watching your videos a lot. I recently read a comment I left on your breakup video saying something like, "just know you are seen and held". The truth is, the one who feels held is me. This channel has become a safe space for me to come to when I need guidance. I am not a spiritual person at all, I've never meditated in my whole life, and I don’t see myself changing anytime soon (even though I know I should 🙄). I feel your content helps me with self-reflection in a way that’s manageable for me and my life. Once again, thank you so, so, so much for sharing your experience in such a sincere and vulnerable way. I am so grateful for this channel and the opportunity you give us to witness you grow and change. It truly is a blessing. Good luck with this new chapter of your life 🍀
My philosophy in the last two months at least has been that there's so many more places to explore and live in than just the capital city of a country, but luckily there are shorter distances in the UK so it's easier to travel for a day or two. In my country there are bigger distances and I recently moved back to my small hometown to work for a while after living and studying in the capital city for 5 years. During the transition of moving I had BIG fomo for the future and sure I would move back, but now having lived in my small town for a while I've felt the pros and cons of living in both places, which I guess the people reading this can understand, like economy, housing, ways of travel inside the city, everyday stress, noise levels, nature, social life, culture opportunities etc. Now I've changed my mind about living in the capital and would rather go there on vacation instead to enjoy everything it has to offer and experience many things in a shorter period of time. At last I'm now looking forward to move to another city soon which is the perfect size for me, not to big to burn me out constantly but not too small in regards to culture and things happening. I'd assume Brighton is the same!
Am so excited to see what Brighton will hold for you!! Hope it will be the oasis of calm and creativity that you are looking for!! Also just have to say - you have been hinting at a podcast now for a couple of videos and I am just so excited for it💖 I am currently backpacking europe for 3 months which is kinda crazy but I am either very much looking forward to listening to it on long train rides through new places or maybe listening to it on midday walks when I am home again in December🌟🌟
Hey darling, just watched this video and soooo excited for you to move to Brighton! I moved there in February 2022 and have had such a lovely time. It is such a vibe! I have just a month left here before moving to Europe but if you would like to grab a tea or walk along the beach sometime, let me know! x
brighton is cool....and you get to live by the sea....although there is no better place to be in summer than beside the river Thames...good luck with your future
Your videos always strike an emotional cord in me! I’ve just moved from London to Berlin and am also trying to find my stability and peace. Can’t wait to see how Brighton nurtures you :)
As much as this sucks it feels humanizing... sometimes it's hard to not take life personally, at least for me. I got unfairly fired from my job, as I believe and so do others and I make it all about me. It's me who's unlucky and this and that when... no, it's just life happening. It's up to me to make the best out of every unfair and crappy situation. Best of courage Jade. Been accompanying for years (with another account) and it feels odd growing up with you.
I’m in a very similar situation and I loved this video so much. It really helped me to change my perspective 🫶🏻 thank you so much for your honesty and authenticity ♥️
this video was just what i needed, just settling into freshers week and its crazy overstimulating but I love every single thing about university life. this video was just beautiful jade, I think brighton would be incredible for you!
First, big hugs to you! Being thrown out of your flat is the quintessential London experience I'm afraid 🥲 this video was kinda magical to watch, I am travelling full-time at the moment but I am already thinking about the time I'll move back to London. I love London more than anything but I am also thinking about an option where I can afford a place on my own, I want to be closer to the sea but also close to London, and ideally a place with a vibrant queer community... so Brighton is literally the only place that fits the bill lol Best of luck for your future! ❤
hiiii sweet friends! 🦋 I hope this video reminds you that sometimes life throws us new surprises that are out of our control, but it’s up to us to ride the waves and trust that everything happens for a reason. It took me so long to finally feel at home in this flat in London and I had envisioned building longer-term roots here, but I really believe that everything’s meant to be and that for whatever reason, I’m meant to move onto something new. I'm also so aware of my privilege as I move through these moments of uncertainty and I'm grateful to have a family home to go back to. I think about people who are displaced all over the world who don't have the same luxuries. Soooooo yes it's been a hectic month, but it's also only a flat😌✨lots of love and thank you for your sweet words
Jade, this is exactly what happened to me this summer. A person owning the flat decided to sell it. I work at school, so during my summer break suddenly, when I was supposed to be resting, I had to deal with looking for something new and especially with the stress connected with change. You also said that you finally felt like you are adjusting. I had the same. Right now, I'm in a new flat, but the change is the hardest I've ever done (I already moved a couple of times). I really liked my precious flat and neighbourhood.
I don't know if it makes you feel better. But you're not alone. Somebody in Poland, had the same expedience😂❤
We are with you
I live in Brighton and I love your content and have similar interests to you! Count me as a friend in Brighton if you ever did want to connect! 🥰
🇿🇦 Ha! You're moving to the Cape Town equivalent of England! Your visit to CPT confirmed your new cycle, didn't it?
Good luck, there's always better yet to come, and you'll find something beautifu l outta this. Thanks for haaving the courage to share this and I pray you'll make it outta this mess soon
Brighton was the nearest city to me growing up and it is JUST YOUR VIBE. Honestly I think you’ll shine there.
just what I was thinking!
Totally agree - definitely your vibe Jade xx
Just the fact that this flat in Brighton came up the moment you had to leave London makes it feel like London was the place that held you in your death phase and now Brighton is here for the Rebirth part ❤
Devine timing I would say!
Brighton is a GREAT choice, they are SO many great people and positivity. Such a great vibe and energy, you will florish for sure and be your must better self. I wish you all the luck and I am sure that you made the right choice... the coincidence was a bit... well perfect
I also being kicked out of my old flat just for one year, and just thinking about I would go back to house hunting I felt so despair, but then I found my current flat, made new friends, and it's so much better than my old one.
I’m SO glad everything worked out in the end!! Thank you for sharing ✨🦋
Hi lovely Jade💖 I remember what you said while you were travelling in Germany, that you craved a more tranquil place than London, and more connected to nature and possibly by a lake or something...and here comes Brighton😍😍 how amazing life is🫶 l'm so happy for your new chapter. Thank you for spreading your love and casual magic on earth💕💜
I lived in London for a year and a half and for someone coming from a small town in a small country, the no smiling no eye contact no chatting to strangers was killing me from the inside. I had my worst depressive episode there. I lived in other cities like Paris but London just seemed so grim and so hustle-focused compared to anywhere else. I was so happy to leave it! I once visited Brighton and it seemed so much lighter and brighter! I hope you enjoy it!
Me too. Ugly, dirty, stressful, lonely place. A joy to leave!
Oh Jade this is so beautiful ❤ I understand you 100% because I lost both my job and my flat over the past few months. Focussing on finding both at the same time was absolutely wrecking my mental health, but then all of a sudden I had a new housing opportunity come my way in an unexpected manner. I took the plunge on the flat, even though I don’t have a new job yet and I already feel SO much more energised and more like myself. I hope you have the most incredible time in Brighton - what an amazing place to move to. Onwards and upwards xx
I love this for you. Following my gut has never lead me astray. I recently had the gut feeling to move back to the country I was born, but to a city I had never been to before. It's. been terrifying and exilerating, but once I made the decision, I couldn't imagine my life any other way. My old life ended to make way for my new life here.
In every challenge, there lies a hidden blessing. Let's see what this one has in store!
omg feels like you just moved in!!! and she’s kicking you out?? this is tough, sending you all my support and love 💕 i know you’ll find your stability but looks like the universe wants you to move… yet again 🥲💗
it really does!! 8 months went so quickly :') here's to new chapters thank u friend
The best of lucks in this new chapter Jade! I'm sure Brighton will bring you so much joy and happiness. Thank you for you authenticity and your brave voice. I wish u the best! Greetings from Argentina!
Jade, I am glad that you found a new place in Brighton. Living in Brighton is better than living in London because it is a much smaller town and you can find your way around places very quickly.
I was at Brighton for uni and I couldn’t think of a place more you. It’s a little London but so much more quirky and friendly imo❤
Hi Jade! Thank you so much for helping me feel more happy, seen and…understood. Especially since I’m 11 and a half, going through the pre teen difficulties. Sending lots of hugs! P.s I’ve recommended your channel to a couple of my friends and you’ve really helped them too.
I was rewatching your video about how to make a new city your home a few days ago (I just moved to study in Madrid), and you said to focus on our daily routines and things that ground us to feel more at home. And watching this I realized that your videos have been such a big part of these past few years, hoping from country to country to study. Just like, as a way to stop panicking and make a plan to move ahead, because other people are also lost and lonely and freaking out when they move to a new place. Watching you being honest about your feelings and still doing all these amazing things just feels very reassuring haha… so just wanted to say thanx for the past few years Jade
best of luck to you. Thanks for all your hard work, and contributions. You've helped a lot of people.
💛💛💛
@@UnJadedJade thanks for the feedback. I'm an ex-Maths tutor and I'm about to come out of retirement. I've used your "How to Study" book to
help me reactivate some unused brain cells !
Jadeeeee this is so beautiful! Your journey over this past year gives me so much hope. 🥺 I can't thank you enough for sharing. All the best for your next chapter and sending you so much love!! ❤🦋
🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much!! It’s been a rollercoaster year but I think I’m at the cusp of something beautiful
I lived in Brighton for a linguistic travel years ago, and honestly I had the best time there, it was the coolest, more open-minded and chill city I ever lived in! This city suits you so much, I really feel like this was meant to be!!
eeeeep okay this massively validates my decision thank you so much!!!
I've had to move 4 times in this year itself - this video was super relatable. I don't know a lot of people who have had this hard of a time house hunting. You've got this!
I haven’t thought of tarot cards as a tool for reflection before, but the way you explained it in this video I’m ready to get my own set to use them as way to navigate similar challenges I’m facing in my own life. I love your reflective nature you have on life and you have really taught me to be more self reflective and present in my own ❤
Jade, you are hands down the most inspiring person on the internet!! The way you approach problems and life in general has taught me so much and is exactly how I wanna be living my life. So thank you for all your work and all the love you pour into these videos, they have become my comfort content over the last few years! I wish you the best for your journey in Brighton❤ also I can't wait for your podcast:)
just a few mins in but i had a thought - you know the butterfly metaphor you mentioned a while ago, maybe this flat was your cocoon where you could heal, process everything so it makes sense that now that you feel better, you can move onto new things and places. of course it is annoying and frustrating to be kicked out!
🥹🥹🥹🥹 the fact you remembered the metaphor. it really was my cocoon
this made me cry!! i spent the whole summer looking for flats to move into but gave up in the end because it just seemed never ending!! ive recently decided to try again but im SO SCAREDD!! its honestly just super stressful :( your video made me feel like im not alone in this struggle thank you :)
Omg, Im so happy for you Im crying! Ive been following you since the start and I am so proud of you and your journey! When you said that you got this invitation I immediately felt that this is where the "big" life starts for Jade! Congratulations to making an amazing choice!
I'm moving out of choice & AAAARG my last few days here are amazing! Thanks for confirming that change is hard & reminding me that everything is temporary.
Hii jade, I just wanted to say that you are the most beautiful soul ever, I’m much younger than you and you are such an amazing role model, you are so inspiring!! You just seem like such a wonderful person and you spread so much joy, I’m super grateful for your RUclips channel 🥰🥰
best of luck darling, i'm sure you'll thrive and grow in Brighton, I'm so excited x
Omg gurlll you will LOVE Brighton!!! 🎉 I lived there for 4 years and miss it sooo much, it's the best most magical loving and special place ever ❤ soak it all in, life is about to get even sweeter!
I live and study in Brighton and think you will flourish here, I never feel judged for being who I am and feel fully welcomed and it’s so nice to be near the mountains and oceans, the only downside is the renting prices lol, hopefully I see you around ❤
Honestly, I love how you the took lemons that life threw at you and literally made the sweetest lemonade out there for yourself. Love how you open your heart and embrace the signs by the universe to guide you always. And it always brings you to the right path. The way you handled this situation and tuned into your feelings, intuition and your needs is truly inspiring. The way you live life is truly inspiring, Jade. 🥹
Wishing you luck and love for the new phase.🩷
I lived in London for a bit and really loved it there, but as soon as you mentioned potentially moving to Brighton I was like omg Jade would really fit there so well! I’m so happy for you how everything worked out in the end 💖
OHMYGOD I live in Brighton!! I have felt this way about this place and i've lived here for 3 years now and it is one of the best places I've been in. the people here are fairly nice and the beach even on a windy winter evening, will still be one of the highlights of my day. life can be so serendipitous and it leading you to Brighton will definitely be one of the best paths!! good luck Jade, I hope this city gives you as much as I know it's given so many (also the bus drivers can be quite friendly here and most people appreciate and give back a smile :'))
Brighton is fabulous & I can’t imagine anywhere that would be better suited. It’s hip, trendy, relaxed & so open minded. Enjoy & make yourself a new adventure & home ❤
Jade, your response to life is truly innspiring.I just moved to my new place that is so much more suitable for me but I was romanticising the very place I hated a month before I had to move out. The beauty of transience. Shows us we are capable of appreciating the very thing we once hated. You have articulated the thoughts and emotions that I also went through very recently so well in this beautiful video. Your videos are sometimes a mirror to me. Truly appreciate the impact you're having on people. Lots of love
I hope you enjoy Brighton - my cousin lives there - it's always felt to me as somewhere to visit but not to live. It's a small population (300k I think). Hope you like it. I think for some those sorts of place are the perfect size. I found London pretty overwhelming at times coming originally from an absolutely tiny seaside town. When I first moved to London "search gyms near me" - here are 87 results where as where I am originally from you have a choice of about 3. Seems like you'll enjoy it Jade.
I Live in Brighton, in my second year of university and it’s honestly just great. There’s so many lovely people and the vibe is amazing too. Hope you have a wonderful time here !!
Life always has us on the perpetual move like a flowing river, never really remaining rooted in one place. It is a constant movement that defies stasis, by way of Heraclitus, the pre-Socratic philosopher 🧡 Hope you find your footing
I never comment, but I was just looking if there would be one new video of yours. I recently started university in another city, and I'm having a really horrible time. Hope everything goes well for you (and me). Thanks for this internet space :)
It's a huge change and not all of it positive, but are there any aspects you can enjoy? I personally hated living in London initially, but then gradually acclimatised and made friends on my course. Hope things brighten up for you, but if you need help, please do let yourself ask!
Hi, sending positive energy your way ✨💕
As someone who has moved constantly for the last 7 years, I have bought my first house in May and I’m tied in for 5 years I fully understand how exhausting (both mentally and physically) moving is. It feels like restarting again and again but hold on to that feeling of fitting into an area/community again. I do think it also felt sooo daunting to commit to 5 years let alone longer so I would say anyone who is struggling with moving a lot hold on to the positives: to fresh starts, exploring new areas and getting to know new people. I love where I live now but it does just take time and patience ❤
Thank you for sharing. I'm not as accustomed to moving as you are, but your story & encouragement is helping me. I'm currently in the process of moving to a very different but also lovely place.
@@michellevdheever7619 I hope you learn to love the new place 🫶🏻
I know it can sometimes feel like you can't let a place (or a person) go because they helped you to grow so much or because it's the place where you overcame so many struggles. But the beautiful thing is: You get to keep all that. All the ways you developed to overcome those obstacles, all the strength you built and everything you've learned - you get to keep it, you can take it with you wherever you go.
All the love from Germany and sending so many good vibes for your start in Brighton! Just goes to show (again) that everything happens for a reason ♥
Love and hugs
- Jess🌻
I share your sentiments about tarot, Jade. I’m an INFJ and tarot feels like such a beautiful way to communicate with - and be guided by - my intuition. ✨
GOOD LUCK with your move to Brighton. I hope that it will make a happy home, x
Sending lots of love and hugs my dear Jade 💓
you always make me feel so held, thank you for your love ✨
I think Brighton will suit you perfectly! It's such a welcoming, bright, lively yet peaceful city, and definitely very open-minded :) less hustle culture, more living. And the seaside 😍 I wish you all the best with the move, and I hope you'll thrive there just as much as you imagined it! Maybe it helps not frame it as "loneliness again" but as "new opportunities arise". I'm sure it'll be easier to find community in Brighton in many ways because it isn't so overwhelmingly huge, and because it draws in different people!
gahhh thank you so so much!! 🦋
I lived in Brighton during my years of uni. I had to move back home because I couldn’t afford to live there anymore, and I’ve never missed a place so much. Jade I’m telling you, you’re gonna love it.
Jade… your videos have been a safe space and inspiration to me through some very formative years. In a way you remind me of the older sister I never had. Likewise, you’ve helped me find the courage to listen to my intuition. Thank you for everything, and I can’t wait to watch you thrive in Brighton!!!
Gosh, I just have the sweet feeling that the Universe takes us in mysterious paths, and our heart lead us, may September, and all the upcoming months, and years be soft, kind, and gentle with you! Hope you get that safeness you always give to all your followers!
Hey Jade, thank you so much for showing us headspace! My doctor told me to start meditating for my health. So for the university students of you all: I discovered that you can get headspace for 9€ a year!! So after your free trial this may be a great affordable option ❤
This is why we need to end no fault evictions! Sorry to hear this jade.
The issue is of course, in the end, these homes are owned by someone and who are we to tell them what to do? It's a hard issue to solve, i think the solution would more housing, in parlicuar, more social housing
@@lukesavage3067These houses are owned by someone yes, but that someone decided to rent it out. That should come with some responsibily towards the renter/renter protection, otherwise renters are dependen on the whims of the landlord. I live in the Netherlands and here if your landlord wants you out before the end of your lease withour a valid reason they can't just do it. They either have to provide a different place for you, buy you out of the contract or have to wait until the contract is over.
@@lukesavage3067the irony is social housing has been sold to these kind of landlords lol
@@emcabl333 Blame right to buy
@@lukesavage3067giving someone, who has done nothing wrong, a month to find a new place, pack up their things and leave is seriously messed up in my opinion. You can agree to disagree.
Thank you for this video Jade! I have also been struggling to come to a decision of leaving one country where I'm currently working abroad to go work in another and your video has made me feel more confident in my decision to leave and start a new chapter. I also started to feel that there is still so much I haven't explored in the current city where I'm working, but have also realized that it's only when something feels temporary, that we start to appreciate it. Therefore by staying longer in this city, nothing will change. But by taking a risk and starting a new chapter, I will grow more into the person I want to be and I'm excited to see how it unfolds:) All the best for your new journey
Life is maze of up and downs, after every downhill is an uphill....remember that girlie and WE ALL SUPPORT YOU....ILYSMM❤❤❤❤
you would like brighton its like camden on a beach. you can always come back if you don't like it!! it's your vibe. you also need to do the hike on seven sister.
Brighton is so PERFECT for you, I just know you’ll love it 😍
Jade your videos never fail to make me smile! I admire the way you deal with change and difficult situations - thank you so much for creating this space of honesty and vulnerability 💌 I wish you the best for your new chapter 🤞🏽🌻
Currently moving (out of choice though, mroe or less) and this just made packing up my stuff a little easier
I moved to Brighton for university and it was the best decision I ever made!! The coolest city and it rlly has everything you need. So easy and relaxing to live here and is the best place to find yourself!
All the best for Brighton Jade!! I love how you aren't afraid to show the struggles of life, instead of pretending everything's perfect all the time , which people tend to do online. I'm heading into a period of uncertainty at the moment (leaving high school, going to uni etc) and you're a real inspiration with how to deal with these things and stay true to yourself. Sending love from New Zealand! ❤
LOVE from Russia! Jade's attitude is best 🧡
I have just went through Section 21 and the last 2 months were hell and I feel you so so much! But when I finally found the new house I truly believed it was meant to be. I am in a way better situation than I was which I have never thought would be possible. So there is hope. But I am sending lots of hugs because it is hard and it should have never happened.
P.S. I love Brighton! Brighton was the first place in the UK where I felt at home. Sadly I have just had to move away from (fortunately not far from Brighton so still can visit) it but trust me you will love it! Brighton is such your vibe and you feel at home within minutes! Btw I highly recommend visiting Egg Spoon Cafe in Kemptown is my absolute favourite!
Jade, not to sound weird, but Brighton is so you... I'm sure you'll love it!
eeeeeep thank you so so much!!
Jade you’re gonna fall in love with Brighton. I lived there for my Masters degree (2018/19) and it is such a vibrant, diverse and creative town where everything is walkable and the community is just lovely. ☺️ if i would ever move back to the UK (I’m German) I would choose Brighton again and again ☺️.
I used the app ‚meet-up‘ to find likeminded people/new friends and it was amazing!
I saw a story saying you were going back to your parents house, so i was watching this thinking u wouldnt find a place and would have to go back home.... The Universe rly holds us dear and knows wut we need, i feel like the london flat was a place to shed the hurt, to heal wounds, and in august (which u said was your happiest month) the universe saw your healing and authentic living and guided u into the place u need to be right now❤❤ wishing u the best Jade, Brighton sounds wonderful and i hope it serves your highest self❤️❤️ lots of love from Portugal 🇵🇹
🥹🥹🥹🥹 my london flat really was the cocoon!! here's to all the beautiful new chapters ahead to flourish in brighton eeeep
wowww jade this is so exciting :’) i’m always so inspired by the way you handle adversity & your optimism towards life 🫶 also, your storytelling is incredible!! so many gorgeous shots - wishing you magic in this new chapter 💖
Gah Wonderful Jade! I am moving out of my family home for university this year and feeling so many mixed emotions. The bit you said about the beauty in finally making a decision resonated so much with my current timid heart. I am so excited for this new chapter and all the beautiful opportunities and moments it will inevitably sprout. Wishing nothing but the best for you. Thank you, you gem
YESSS, please come to Brighton. We would love to have you ❤
omg I love it. I hope you have a great time in brighton! maybe it will be your home for a longer while. :)
Jade, I am so impressed by how you navigate change and uncertainty with such grace
can't wait for a video in a few months about how you've found your community in brighton and all the things you love about it
Ow, Jade 😭 I wasn't kicked out but I moved to a shared house for uni, and it's HARD to think abt money all the time so I'm considering moving out again soon
It's time to learn some lessons and go where we're supposed to be to learn them ❤ as you said, everything happens for a reason
It's funny how our lives and yours, even if they're SO different, can always be related in a way TwT. I wish you the best, Jade!!! 💕💐✨🐝🌻 Lots of love and hugs, we got this!!
You're so lucky you have family. So many people don't and this is how homelessness happens so easily. It's a disgrace.
Brighton is amazing. I lived there 10 years ago for just 3 months, but I loved it and I still miss the vibe of that city! London is good for visiting, in the end it's incredibly beautiful and has so much to offer. But living in Brighton would be a more relaxed, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience.
I hope you will understand what could fit you better🌠
I am so excited for you! can't wait to see whats next in your amazing life :)
I just found out that im being made redundant from my job so this video really resonated in terms of letting go and trusting that everything happens for a reason 🥰
welcome to this new chapter! an end and a beginning just in time for the autumn equinox
I can't wait to see your adventures in Brighton. London is great but I have heard so many cool things about Brighton and wish you a safe and happy place there!
How Jade? How did you know that I was going through these feelings? I just stopped crying because I’m finally feeling at home in my place and I’m terrified of being asked to leave by my landlord like my last place and I’m so scared of having to find a new home all over again! I know it hasn’t happened and I’m ok for now, but landlord’s circumstances can change at any point and unless you own your entire sense of security is in someone else’s hands! I was a military kid and moved every year or 2, then went to uni and moved every year, and then have moved twice in the past year since leaving uni housing! And that craving for a home and stability is insanely relatable and unite us all! But you’ve got this, I’ll be fine if it happens to me too, and it’ll all be ok! Love you Jade, keep being you! 💕💕💕
I used to live in Brighton and felt instantly at home. I miss it so much!
oh my goodness jade! this is incredible! i just moved (back) to brighton at the start of september too you are going to love it 🫶🏻🫶🏻
wait no wayyy be my friend hehe 👉👈 thank you so much!!
@@UnJadedJade stoppppp I’d acc love that lmk if you’re about and wanna meet up my flatmates are both queer and always looking to meet new ppl in the community 🫶🏻
@@UnJadedJade heyy said flatmate here! You're gonna thrive in Brighton! It would be great to meet up and let us know if u want any recs for the area!
My mom moved 18 times in her life. Mostly as a kid and a young adult.
BTW, if I sit on the for too long, I can barely get up again. So I admire you for eating on a floor table👍
I am beyond happy for you that this opportunity to move to Brighton presented itself right when you needed it most. So excited to see where this new chapter and journey of adulthood takes you!
Hi Jade, I cannot tell you how perfectly timed this video is. I am coming up to 1 month studying abroad on exchange in Amsterdam. I love it but it is overwhelming at times navigating a new place in a new country by myself. It's strange on so many levels but I've been following your journey for a while and know that this was absolutely the right decision for me at this time and I thank you for being such an inspiration and sharing your experiences to us all. Thank you Jade, I wish you all the best in your new adventure in Brighton!! XXX
Congrats in making it to Amsterdam😊 The housing market there is crazy and it's even harder for foreign students. I hope you enjoy your time in The Netherland and be sure to visit some places outside of Amsterdam❤
so much wisdom in this video Jade! 🥹
Hello Jade ✨️ Last month has been quite rough for me, and I found myself watching your videos a lot. I recently read a comment I left on your breakup video saying something like, "just know you are seen and held". The truth is, the one who feels held is me. This channel has become a safe space for me to come to when I need guidance. I am not a spiritual person at all, I've never meditated in my whole life, and I don’t see myself changing anytime soon (even though I know I should 🙄). I feel your content helps me with self-reflection in a way that’s manageable for me and my life. Once again, thank you so, so, so much for sharing your experience in such a sincere and vulnerable way. I am so grateful for this channel and the opportunity you give us to witness you grow and change. It truly is a blessing. Good luck with this new chapter of your life 🍀
What a beautiful video and lesson! Good luck in your new chapter
i love that your videos are so calming and full of positivity even when you’re going through the hard times. wish you good luck with moving out ❤
🥹🥹🥹🥹
My philosophy in the last two months at least has been that there's so many more places to explore and live in than just the capital city of a country, but luckily there are shorter distances in the UK so it's easier to travel for a day or two. In my country there are bigger distances and I recently moved back to my small hometown to work for a while after living and studying in the capital city for 5 years. During the transition of moving I had BIG fomo for the future and sure I would move back, but now having lived in my small town for a while I've felt the pros and cons of living in both places, which I guess the people reading this can understand, like economy, housing, ways of travel inside the city, everyday stress, noise levels, nature, social life, culture opportunities etc. Now I've changed my mind about living in the capital and would rather go there on vacation instead to enjoy everything it has to offer and experience many things in a shorter period of time. At last I'm now looking forward to move to another city soon which is the perfect size for me, not to big to burn me out constantly but not too small in regards to culture and things happening. I'd assume Brighton is the same!
Change can be difficult but so rewarding ❤
Am so excited to see what Brighton will hold for you!! Hope it will be the oasis of calm and creativity that you are looking for!!
Also just have to say - you have been hinting at a podcast now for a couple of videos and I am just so excited for it💖 I am currently backpacking europe for 3 months which is kinda crazy but I am either very much looking forward to listening to it on long train rides through new places or maybe listening to it on midday walks when I am home again in December🌟🌟
Hey darling, just watched this video and soooo excited for you to move to Brighton! I moved there in February 2022 and have had such a lovely time. It is such a vibe! I have just a month left here before moving to Europe but if you would like to grab a tea or walk along the beach sometime, let me know! x
brighton is cool....and you get to live by the sea....although there is no better place to be in summer than beside the river Thames...good luck with your future
Your videos always strike an emotional cord in me! I’ve just moved from London to Berlin and am also trying to find my stability and peace. Can’t wait to see how Brighton nurtures you :)
Such a beautiful story telling in this vlog - wishing you well for the next chapter in Brighton
As much as this sucks it feels humanizing... sometimes it's hard to not take life personally, at least for me. I got unfairly fired from my job, as I believe and so do others and I make it all about me. It's me who's unlucky and this and that when... no, it's just life happening. It's up to me to make the best out of every unfair and crappy situation. Best of courage Jade. Been accompanying for years (with another account) and it feels odd growing up with you.
I’m in a very similar situation and I loved this video so much. It really helped me to change my perspective 🫶🏻 thank you so much for your honesty and authenticity ♥️
this video was just what i needed, just settling into freshers week and its crazy overstimulating but I love every single thing about university life. this video was just beautiful jade, I think brighton would be incredible for you!
First, big hugs to you! Being thrown out of your flat is the quintessential London experience I'm afraid 🥲 this video was kinda magical to watch, I am travelling full-time at the moment but I am already thinking about the time I'll move back to London. I love London more than anything but I am also thinking about an option where I can afford a place on my own, I want to be closer to the sea but also close to London, and ideally a place with a vibrant queer community... so Brighton is literally the only place that fits the bill lol Best of luck for your future! ❤
life is truly all about timing. I am so happy for you Jade ✨
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW FLAT JADE PLEASE MAKE A TOUR!!!
The universe is on your side 💗🌟
❤Jade, thanks for the video! It really feels like home!! send love and hope you'll be OK in Brighton xx
