- I will cherish this birthday forever.
Being alone is scary, but can also be so fulfilling. I'm so grateful I got to start off my twenties by exploring Paris, eating so much good food, and even meeting a subscriber/new friend. Also thank you guys so much for 100k subscribers 🥺 I hope you have an amazing week :)

I got so emotional when you talked about we just feared other ppl's views on us being alone. That's exactly my biggest fear of being alone. Thank you for letting me know being alone can be so cool and wholesome, and ppl around us are actually so kind. Happy Birthday Jing! Keep shining and being inspirational! ✨💗
🇸🇾
thank u 🥺 I appreciate this message so much
I literally cried when she said that. I don’t have many friends in college, so I’m often alone and am perfectly fine with it. I only don’t feel fine with it when I start comparing myself with other people. I really am my worst enemy 😞
If we could repost comments on RUclips I would, shes such an inspiration
Your little brother singing to you made me burst out in tears. This is the first video of yours that I've come across, but just know that you're inspiring. This helped remind me of all the people that guided (and are still guiding) me through my early 20s. The journey has only just begun; I hope many great people & opportunities come to you in this next chapter of your life :)
omg this is me too, my first vid and im crying so hard
@@evelynli2053 same here! turning 20 in 5 months i hope i'll feel this bold and more adult until then!
i learned how to be comfortable being alone after moving out and now really cherish my alone time too! this video gave me the same comforting feeling of exploring alone ♡ happy birthday jing 🎂 i hope your 20s treat you well
omg jessica thank u so much 💗 the first time I ever tried makeup was watching ur golden peach makeup tutorial 😭💗
@@jingsuuu aw 🥹♡ thank u !! im sure u looked stunning ^_^
OMG, I am obsessed with your makeup tutorials!!!
This video really made me emotional, I'm 17 turning 18 at the end of this month and I feel so overwhelmed with stepping into "adulthood" and the responsibilities that come with it. School is stressful, and balancing everything is hard. But I'm going to wait for the day when I'll be able to take as many solo trips as I want, be independent and just be happy to live in the moment. Thank you for being so inspiring.
1 was 17 just turned 18 a month ago. I feel you but. You will get through this. You've got thg is.
You've got this! 🌼
I also 17 turning 18 on 29th of dec(:
happy early 18th! growing up is both scary and fun (but hopefully more fun)
@@jingsuuu thank you ❤️🩹
This made me cry a little. You’re so so precious and inspiring. Happy birthday to you Jing 💕✨🤍
thank u 🥺
As a french person, i'm so happy that you enjoyed your to paris alone. Your video got me emotional, it is so well edited and the message vocals, with the views are so cute. I wish you so much happiness and thank you for being so positive and you really inspire me :)
God i loved this video soo much! I turned 21 today and to my surprise no one wished me, not a single wish even when i wish my friends. i dont have a lot of friends but the one i do i expected a small message atleast and this is 3rd year in a row no one did idk why... but this taught me one lesson today that only thing that matters and loves by all their heart is our family. my parents and my sister wished and danced with me and its so amazing that family loves us soo much. I hope everyone realizes this and even though some people may have very nice friends but family is something who will be by your side till the end no matter what.
This might be an unwanted comment but can I ask if they know your birthdate? I found that sometimes “friends” either don’t know, are not sure or just are too emerged in their own life problems that they forget. And I know it’s unfair if you remember their birthday. But what you could do is let them know the day or a few days before so it’s on their mind.
But if they actually know and choose not to wish you a happy birthday, then you’re absolutely right and I’m sorry it’s happened to you for 3 years. It means nothing and it’s a bit late but happy birthday to you ✨
@@sincerelyels thank you sooo much for such lovely reply!!! And yes they knew when my birthday was hell 4 of my friends evrn asked about my birthdate 30 dayd prior to it lol
@ExplicitWolf aww really sorry to hear they knew. Hope you’ll find more caring friends ✨
@@sincerelyels thank you so much🥹😀
This is late - and we are strangers…but genuinely, from my heart to yours happy birthday! 🎈
The voicemails made me cry lol. I am currently a premed student with a major in psychology. Next fall I plan to leave home for university and your academic drive is so motivating. I hope to meet a friend like you throughout this journey. I wish you continue to have all of the happiness.
Happy Birthday!
When I heard the voice messages I teared up a little bit...I'm so happy for you and I hope you will have a wonderful twenties 💖 Lots of love and light from France 💖
Why did I get so emotional at the voicemails wishing you a happy birthday. Your brothers is when I officially broke down, he is so sweet and loving. I’m glad you made the most of your birthday on your own and made a true come true that is so special. I’m planning to celebrate my birthday in Paris and this gave me so much joy. Wholesome + traveling content is my kryptonite so I will be subscribing. Keep posting we love to see your journey of growth and you’ll love to look back at it in a few years from now with the same joy.
i'm turning 20 soon, and feel completely alone. i don't have anyone to spend it with. this made me feel a little bit better, so thank you. i'll take inspiration from this!
Sorry to hear that, take yourself out and treat yourself to something nice, doesn’t even have to be monetary. A nice walk, a free museum, anything you enjoy!
Me too i'm turning 20 in August and I don't know how to celebrate my birthday, it's kinda sad 😂
I also celebrated my 29th birthday alone.Hugs to you all .I love y'all. Hope you enjoyed y'all birthday 🎂
@@Beauto093 Do something fun for yourself! Get a treat and walk around :) Happy early (or late) birthday!

What a perfect intro 🥺 Stepping into your 20s in Paris and hitting 100K subscribers ❤️ So proud of my girl. Happy birthday and Congratulations Jing 🧿 I'm truly happy for you
thank u so much
ive never cried watching a youtube video before but seeing how happy you are and how your family and friends support you is such a beautiful thing. I truly wish the best for you Jing, thank you for showing me that its okay to be alone sometimes
This was a needed emotional break, I really thank RUclips algorithm for introducing you to me, as I watched your videos for the past weeks I feel kinda ready to start thinking about leaving my family and start thinking about the real possibility of living alone without being a boring and scared person, this video made me so emotional and I literally teared up while hearing the voice messages..I thank you so much for simply existing and posting your life chapiter, it is such a blessing ♥️
100% i just turned 17 2 weeks ago and i’m terrified.. but watching her videos has me feeling less.. scared? i don’t want to live in fear forever. i want to be able to adventure and blossom either on my own or with a person who wants to tag along! as soon as i graduate and i have the right amount of money is when my journey begins.
I cried happy tears at the end listening to the birthday messages, i am happy for you Jing.
Such a beautiful video. You've made the ultimate time-capsule memory for yourself to look back on x years down the line, but thank you for sharing it with us too.
I literally cried when I heard the birthday wishes from your parents - that's so warm!😭
I just turned 19 alone in college, and I was watching this video. There's something so magical about reflecting on your past, present and future on your birthday, whether together with friends or alone. You're such an inspiration to me, I love your channel!!💖
Jing 🥺 This was such a touching video and I found the last part so emotional and omg I just can’t get over your beauty and kind hearted nature 🥺
🥺💗
Every video you make feels like a little gift! It's nice to see your beautifully made vlogs of you having fun but we also get to learn a little something with it!
watching this video made me think that maybe spending my birthday alone (21st Jan) isn't a bad idea. Your videos are so wholesome and inspiring and this is what we need for this generation :D. Your whole aesthetic, editing skills and the vibes you bring into each videos are immaculate. This is definitely what I needed to watch and hopefully other people feel inspired too. Thank you ! :>
happy birthday in advance! :)
@@nehaharikrishnan4346 thank you ! :)
Happy Birthday! I don’t know where you are in the world so I can’t predict when yours happens with time differences but congrats! I’m the same turning on the 27th!
@@anikag7198 I’m turning 21 in an hour from now from the UK :). Thank you for the wishes and I wish you a happy birthday in advance too !! 🥳🥳🫶
I can’t even remember anymore how did I found this video because it made me sob all of the time. I’m turning 20 this year and I grew up thinking that if other people saw me doing things alone they would thought that I was anti-social or whatever, and you made me realize that it’s ok doing things alone, live in your own world… these days I’m struggling with being alone because of the summer break (everyone is out of town and most of my friends work 24/7) and your video encouraged me to go outside and do things by myself AND for myself. thank god I found your video because it felt like a coming of age movie.
I dread the time when i will go to university abroad. because i am scared to be alone and away from my family. But seeing you going to places alone, motivating yourself everyday, celebrating your birthday by your own self, achieving so much at an young age, i teared up a bit. because you're GROWING, THRIVING, LEARNING to be HAPPY. Its wonderful ❤
This is my dream, turned 22 last week and felt so alone and dependent that i had to promise myself that it wouldn’t happen again. Celebrating your birthday has to depend on yourself because you are celebrating your life. So proud of you, hugs from Spain ❤️✨
as someone who finds peace in being alone, i couldn't completely relate to you but as someone who is extremely self-conscious, i could relate. what you did in this video is one of my biggest dreams and this is my motivation to work hard. i want to travel the world alone.
your video brought me to tears, i have no clue why. i felt like i was seeing myself. i cannot express how happy i am for you and how proud of you i am. this video was free therapy, thank you :)
and for anyone who is reading this right now, i hope you have a wonderful day/night ahead. i hope all your dreams come true!
I'm a senior in high school who dreams of being a fashion business owner, and I find your channel so inspiring to travel abroad alone. Unfortunately, a lot of my friends aren't planning to travel far from their home state at all. But where I live, let's just say in terms of fashion, there isn't much opportunity. So I knew I would have to eventually make a big change, and your channel really encourages me, so tysm!
As a girl who always dreamed of going to paris, also turning 20 in few months with a fear of being alone, watching this vlog felt like watching my higher self. So happy for you and congrats!!! I teared up from happiness to imagine myself living THAT life ;)
gonna turn 20 this month too, happy happy birthday!! i'm really grateful that you're part of my 2022 ✨ may you have more blessings to come. 💟 i loved hearing your stories, it makes me feel we're more closer each time. i'm touched with the outro 🥺
*to the majestic paris with the most beautiful view i know; it's you!*
🇸🇾
happy early birthday!! ILY
@@jingsuuu thank u, ily! 💗
this made me so emotional, im turning 20 next year and i am still so scared to be alone, but vids like this show me that it is actually possible to enjoy being alone and it gives me more courage to actually try, so i wanted to say thank you for sharing this portion of your life and giving your tips to us (im gonna try to think like that from now on). i got all teary listening to the voice mail your family sent you, so sweet. This was a very beautiful video, made me feel emotional in a nice way hahha, i wish you the best of the best!
everything by the black skirts paired with the voice messages made me cry. hearing your parents say they'll always support you in cantonese really hit close to home for me, thank you for your amazingly edited video!
Hearing your mom speaking to you in canto warms my heart makes me miss my parents 🥺🫶🏻
one thing i love about you is that not only you do solo trips but also it show how independent you are. hopefully one day i can do solo trips
Happy birthday!🥰
Thanks for tour videos 😘
i’m crying😿💞💞you are such a wonderful person
Recently found your channel and I’ve been loving your videos, it’s crazy that you only started posting recently and you’re already over 100k, it’s 100% deserved though, congratulations and I look forward to watching more!!!
i love your channel so much !! so inspiring and relaxing, beautiful videography and meaningful messages. thank you so much and happy (belated) birthday :)
It's beautiful vlog so much. Happy Birthday Jing! I hope you always happy 💐🦋
You are so comforting to watch!
This video made me cry...
The thought of being alone scared me a lot before, we're not always going to be with the people we are right now and that is completely normal, people come and go that's why is very important to learn how to do things by yourself and to love your own company. But now I've come to terms of doing things alone and not being scared to do them, sometimes it gets a little lonely and I cry a lot but I know that I have people who care for me and will always help me to get through hard times.
But of course smetimes it's ok to not be ok.
this is so so beautiful - all these moments seem so special and i love the intetionality of your videos! i’m so glad you share them with us! 😭 congratulations on 100k and happy belated birthday 🤍
Your smile is so wholesome and genuine love seeing you happy!!
Happy birthday to u🎉❤i feel so warm and get lot of feeling positive vibe from u. Thank u so much.
This is just beautiful and heart-warming❤ I hope you had a wonderful bday (as it seems in the video yay) and hope for more happiness in your life ahead:)
Happy Belated Birthday Jing! So great seeing your journey and wishing you more happiness and success in your endeavours. Funny how we saw your first vlog a few weeks ago and just to see your growth is amazing. Keep it up and can't wait to continue to support your channel!
Happy birthday 🎂 jing!!🙌
Oh how I love you and this video. Thank you
Happy birthday! I had a long tiring day, but I'm so glad to see your upload ^^ Your videos motivate me to study and helped push me to look forward to the future
Honestly, I’m planning on going to college in the US and have started my applications. Back then I mostly just looked at the bright side of things but recently I’ve started to question lots of things; will I make friends, how will I stay connected with family, will I be able to cook on my own…etc. seeing this video on my suggestions made me realize that at some point, as you’ve mentioned, we’ll live in solitude for the latter parts of our lives, but the real important part of being in solitude is how we take it in ourselves.
Definitely freaked out about the concept of adulting but at the same time am excited for the new possibilities a new country can offer!
Lots of love from the Philippines 💕
Your videos are so real ❤ thank you
Love your videos! You make me more productive when doing my studying and truly inspire me to be the best of myself ❤
Happy birthday Jing! As a French, it really makes me happy to see that you had a great time in Paris. I really hope that your trip went well. Do not hesitate to come back to visit other places! You are someone so inspiring. I will put a note in my head to come back to this video when I will be leaving alone in Japan during a semester, having to celebrate my 21st birthday on my own. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful reflections. I can't wait to follow your journey until the end!
I'm so glad that you've found a way to cope on your own!!! I went through a very similar situation when I got into an argument with my school friends and lost all of my confidence because of it. Over the summer break I lost contact with all of these "friends" and I was so worried that they were gossiping about me and I would go back to school the next year to find that everyone hated me. In my mind I made things seem so much worse than they actually were now that I look back. I ended up going back to school, a much more independent, confident, and overall happy person than ever. I even ended up making some friends and being a part of my amazing four person friend group. Never have I appreciated anyone more than these three girls, yet I find that I'm okay with the idea of being alone, whereas I used to be terrified of it. Ever since then I have been extremely socially anxious and always scared of what people think of me. It is comforting to think that even as friends come and go and sometimes I may be left alone, that I still have myself as a best friend. That is enough for me.
Anyways, I am so happy for you for reaching 100,000 subscribers!!! I hope these numbers grow lots in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Happy twentieth by the way! You are such an amazing inspiration for me and so many more!!
P.S. I think that you are very independent and cool, not to mention beautiful!!! 😊❤❤❤
I cried , amazing video , congrats ❤
I love the way u treat urself. Go girl💛lots of love❤️
this video brought me so much comfort, I turn 16 in a couple of weeks and its stressing me out - something about your calmness and happiness has just made me so relived. Thank you and happy belated birthday
Happy early birthday ❤❤
@@MinaKateReeves thank you 💕
I'm really thankful I've come across your channel last week. I was looking for a video to get me started on studying for my exams and the universe sent yours. You didn't only motivate me but inspired me to do better and be better myself. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This whole video is so touching and beautiful 🤍💗, i love how supportive your parents aree it really warms my heart! Thank you for this content

Your videos are so inspiring not just to me, but to everyone around the world, especially students, so I hope you can post them every day. I know it is difficult to live alone, but I hope the messages from your fans helps!.
I’ve watched this multiple times and it comforted me since I spent my 20th bday this July by myself- I had just moved out from my family home for college across the world and i was so depressed about it. The ending gives me goosebumps every time I watch this. Thank you for sharing. It made me feel positive about my experience 🤎
this made me cry, happy birthday beautiful
Loved your little brother’s message🤍🥺 Happy birthday and happy 20🎉
Jing, you’re such a precious person. I haven’t met you irl yet I know just from watching your vlogs that you have a good heart. I hope you reach your goals because I know for sure you deserve it . Happy Birthday Gorgeous !!
this video is so beautiful, it makes me so emotional because i’m so afraid to be alone but you inspire me so much, being alone sometimes is not that bad, i feel like i deserve that little part to be alone in my life, thank u for share this to us
I love this so much. I’m literally sobbing. So inspiring✨
this video is an inspiration to me, it came to me at the right time, happy birthday!
What an amazing trip! I hit 21 years this year and I also did solo travelling right after my birthday to San Francisco and Singapore! There is a kind of unique freedom to travel alone and do whatever you want whenever you like. Happy Birthday to you! ❤
You don’t get older, you get better 🎂 Happy Birthday Jing. 20 looks good on you 🎉!
i hope u had a wonderful birthday and a great year ahead!! im turning 20 in a couple months & theres a lot im scared of but so much more that im looking forward to. i want to try and overcome that fear of spending time alone in public!! you have such positive energy & are so clearly appreciated!!!!!
New subscriber. The way I cried when listening to the voice messages. Thank you for this video. Happy late birthday and congrats on 100k. May you be bless. 💘
Her eyes sparkle like the stars,
Her smile as warm as the sun,
Her beauty a work of art,
A masterpiece never undone.
The city may lose its glow,
But she is a beacon of light,
A beauty to cherish and know,
A treasure to hold in sight.
In the darkness, she shines,
Guiding us through the night,
A precious gem, so divine,
A gift of grace, pure and bright.
So let the lights of Paris fade,
For this girl's beauty will remain,
A shining example of what's made,
A true wonder to see again and again.
Happy late birthday! Thank you for the Cantonese. I’m a Hong Kong girl studying overseas alone so hearing the language was really really surprising and heartwarming especially when I haven’t spoken it for so long except when calling my family and friends back home. Wish you the best and I’m sure you’ll have a great future ahead.
You're living my goals 🥺 love you❤
this made me so emotional
This video is so beautiful!! I just randomly stumbled upon this video in my recommended and I am so glad I did! You captured the beauty of solitude perfectly. And the voice messages in the end got me soooo emo!! I am also 20 and doing a solo trip to Paris soon which I'm scared of but this gave me confidence! Best of luck in your 20s, you're doing great
If you want tips about paris trip or answers to your questions i can help you ^^

This a beautiful video and it has literally made me sob. Thank you for being so open and honest about overcoming some of the hard stuff we all go through as we grow up. I turn 18 soon and seeing this video has helped look at things in a different light.
Happy birthday, I love you!!
This video got me so emotional, the edition was so sensible and amazing that some tears appears in my eyes. I´m so happy for you even if we don´t know each other, I´m very grateful that you are having a pleasant time by achieving your dreams. I wanna study political science too, for that when I seeing your videos I get really excited about the future that is just about to reach me
just the felling of being in a beautiful country alone and celebrating my birthday there gives me butterflies-
that ending made me cry a bit 😅i always do stuff by myself, it's good to enjoy some time alone. i wish i can travel the world one day and find amazing new people, and make unforgettable memories
i love the music choices
The voicemails were so cute, I cried so much. I wish you the best to happen in your life, now that you are 20 years old. I'm so proud of what you accomplished and learned for the past few years away from you're family to study aboard. I am only 14 and I always wished to go to Paris, study in Cambridge university, and you're channel really inspired me to continue dreaming and make that wish come true one day. Thank you so much, maybe one day I will start a RUclips channel just like you !
happy belated 20th birthday Jing! I'm a new subscriber and I'll be turning 21 in 2 days from today,

This is the first video of yours that I am seeing on my for you page and I just have to say I love and admire you so so much. The voice messages were so sweet I almost cried. And you're so pretty, you're courage is amazing, you seem so sweet, and I love how you did your video and I can't wait to rewatch the old ones and wait for the new ones to come:)))
This makes me want to travel to Paris alone as well. Love seeing people striving to discover themselves
