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.
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 🥲💗
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.
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.
@@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 !
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.
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!!
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!
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!
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!
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'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!
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.
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:)
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 RU-vid channel 🥰🥰
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
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 :'))
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 ❤
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 ❤
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!
In your case, because you have family in London, I would live with your parents and save any penny of money to have a deposit and apply for a mortgage. That way you buy a house, it´s yours and nobody can kick you out unless you stop paying your mortgage. It´s the easiest solution for who has family in the same city, contrary to people who moved to different countries and have no one.
I'm not entirely up to date with the London housing market, but house prices are sky high and since Jade is self employed/free lancing it would be very hard to find a bank that is willing to give her a morgage that would come even close to the amount she needs to buy. Saving up will take literal years
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 💖
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! ❤
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!
Come to The Hague! Really international, city and village vibes, beach, lots of people from all over the world. Or, find another spot in the UK. yea, thats prob closer. Easier. But THE HAGUE IS FUN! My Aussie friends told me that. Than its true. Goodluck with your journey!
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.🩷
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!!!
Jade you are truly an amazing and an inspiring person, I just love your videos. Lots and lots of love and support to you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤and virtual hugs 🫂 🫂🫂🫂🫂
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!
if we are going to keep this feudal relic around, can we at least give tenants a reasonable amount of notice before they have to vacate?? ughh but congrats on the new place though, Jade!!
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 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 🇵🇹
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
Dear Jade, please try ASMR Also, I'd recommend visiting the sorrounding areas of Brighton, such as Seaford and Eastbourne ❤ And... well done! Good luck!
At least in Finland you can't quickly kick someone out? I think it's three months if the landlord kicks you out, and one month if the tenant wants to leave.
She has to issue you with a section 21. It doesn't matter what it says in the contract. There are laws to 'protect you' Section 21 is a minimum of 2 months notice and even then you don't have to move out. The landlord would need to go to court to get you out. Move out at your own time scale. Would that 6 months plus to force you out
I believe they were protected under “live-in landlord” status that allowed them a month’s notice period but I’ll definitely look into this thank you! x
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!!
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!
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 💖
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.
@@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 🫶🏻
A month!🤬 If that were me I'd have no money for a current deposit, no money for moving furniture. Rentable property takes longer to find than 3 or 4 weeks. Work would be disrupted. This is how people lose their jobs and work. I could never tell someone they had a month. How disgusting. What a cow!
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 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🌻
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 ❤
Its so helpful seeing youre mindful and positive way when changes come in life 💛🌼 for me its not moving but leaving my work space; today im signing the new contract… im so fraking scared and i really dislike the unnknown and the conflicts im going to face at my old job when leaving.. but i know it does not serve me anymore and that perspective keeps me going - for my future self ❤ a few days ago i saw a graffiti saying „its either ‚one day’ or ‚day one‘“ and thats my sign of the univers to Go for it i guess 🌝
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
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!
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
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.
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.
Maybe it's not for you, but you could move to a commuter town that's 40 mins from London like Didcot or Bicester, where its easier and cheaper to find somewhere to rent, and still have access to London as well as things to do within walking distance
Welcome to sussex if you come! If you need any tips for nature around let me know. I run a womens forest group near by which is becoming a lovely community ❤
Her contract doesn't supercede the law - you have to be served with a proper Section 21 notice (two months) and even then she can't kick you out, you can make her go through the court and have months extra.
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 ❤
What kind of monster sets up a contract where they can kick someone out with a month's notice. Like, landlords like this are single handedly contributing to homelessness.
Very relatable feelings about London and flathunting. All the best with the move Jade! I've been following along since the studytube days and just wanted to say how aesthetically pleasing and beautifully creative you're filming and editing have become - just a small reflection and compliment I wanted to make. I watched a great video essay by Leena Norms today (TikTok Killed The Follower) which I would highly recommend! A great discussion of the role of social media and content creators' careers and follow/content consumer culture; she pointed out that often it's the negative followers who have the louder voice as many of us watch along our usual favourite youtubers/content creators with views and likes and silence. I'm trying to work on more mindful consumption and yours is an account I always look forward to seeing a new video from and to actually sit down and watch some longer form content from. So here's me actually engage in the comments for once and say how lovely your videos look and feel and sound. 🌟🧚♂Sending all the best vibes for Brighton!
Felicity? This means the world. Thank you for taking the time to pour your energy and love into my comment section today, and thank you for following my life journey with so much love and attention. 🦋✨ I'm so glad my videos resonate with you. i'll definitely give Leena's video a watch!!
this made me cry 😭 jade, your attitude really reminds me of my younger self and helps me reconnect with that mindset again of believing things work out for a reason. I truly believe you have it within you to make the most of anywhere you are and you will attract joy and love to your life :)))). Brighton makes so much sense:)))))). Good luck 🦋 can’t wait to follow your new adventure :)
