That is deception, dear friend. Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God. Do not be deceived. God is not a woman. I used to listen to Jhene when i was a teen, i was a fan but Jesus saved me. I was so deceived i even listened to taro card readings, what a deception of the devil. Alot of other things too. Jesus is coming soon receive Him as your Lord and Savior because He died on the cross for you, for your sins and my sins while we still hated Him. Now is the time to know true love. Not the love that comes from the world (which is no love at all) but love that is pure and comes from God Himself. Jesus LOVES you. Turn to Him while there is time!! As soon as you know this fact and believe in your very heart how much He loves you, you are a CHANGED person. Repent, call on Jesus and get baptized HE LOVES YOU, THE DEVIL DOESN'T ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She looks for a resemblance of her brother in every man that she encounters - hoping that they can/will fill his shoes. Her brother was her best friend and personal compass and she’s lost without him. A bond like this is hard to let go.
have you ever heard of the phrase "there cant be a rainbow without rain"? it is not possible to reach your full potential in any aspects of your life, if you have not undergone the many struggles that come with the party that is life. as cliche as it sounds, the struggle is real, and being in denial of whatever that may be will be your biggest factor from stopping you from overcoming it; embrace the emptiness. to be complete you have to be empty. face your fears, your problems, and allow yourself to become the person you're meant to be.
The saddest part is being afraid that you'll forget your loved one. It's a daily feel of guilt and what if's. Not sure what our purpose is in life. Still finding myself
Ty Cox GOD. He has all the answers. The guilt is a result of the fall. We aren't supposed to experience death, but now we do. It's ok to allow yourself freedom... 🙏💞
Jhené Aikos ex husband was a cancer, her brother was a cancer sign and passed away from cancer. Cancer will spread thru u and it can kill u. She’s a Pisces a water sign, they are quite spiritual and sensitive to their surroundings like all water signs. They are the sign of rebirth and resurrection they are the last and final sign of the zodiacs. I love this video and all the symbolism she’s so amazing 💙
@@Katiepurdy87 witchcraft is a form of spiritul walk like said Religions..if u read the bible instead of letting someone such as ur grandmother n pastor givin u they false representation of it.. The u would know the Bible itself is a book of spells written in parables only those understanding of astrology n zodiacs get this.. Sadly it was used, falsely misrepresented n used to keep people in line with the fear of the Devil, Hell, n Fear of Fire. None which exist in this realm no more than time does.... If u understood n know this then u know anything in the Universe is urs for taking.. Im spiritual reader, a Wiccan n Pisces n very close to the most high, angels, n my ancestors... Don't spew negativity without understanding us or fully researching us first. Statements such as this is the reason innocent people were burned at the stake n hide in seclution. No response is needed I said my piece..
"Are you in the stars? Is there a God? Do you walk with him? Is he a she? Is she a me? Will we ever talk again? Is it strange that I can't wait to meet my fate just to see your face again?" 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
My fiance passed away 3 months ago - a few weeks ago, I dreamt of him coming to tell he was leaving me as he smiled and handing a ring to my dad. I was so upset with him and begging him not to leave... I woke up in confusion and pain because I was so upset. Later that day as I reflected on my dream, he came to tell me he had to let me go because he was stuck here. He handed the ring to my dad because he made a promise to my dad to love and take care of me but he couldn't keep his promise because he has passed away. The part where her brother comes to tell her to let him go just touched me so deeply and I can't stop crying :(
I had a dream a week after my best friend of 17 years passed away. She was smiling and said she had to leave on a trip and I wasn't allowed to come but she loved me then hugged me and everything felt so real. I got chills immediately reading your story like our loved ones are definitely with us!
My boyfriend passed away 5 years ago. Just here to tell you that it gets better with time 💕 he still visits me in my dreams, but he’s always smiling. He’s safe.
I had dream my stepdad came to visit me … he came crying and holding flowers . He was crying, telling me how sorry he was on leaving us … . He died of COVID … I never really told anyone about this “dream”
@@anastasiajohnston6386 anastasia that wasn't a dream that really was her making sure she said goodbye ... I've had those experiences also ... sometimes right before the person has died .
Alina Alive If you listen to her and use common sense you'd know...it's all about her dead brother and spirituality. Always is. The problem is she ignores the fact we're all one and separation is an illusion. Therefore she constantly brings up her brother instead of getting over it. She either doesn't get what she preaches about, or uses it to make $. Seems like she hasn't actually done any psychedelics, or maybe just not enough. And I don't know why she wouldn't have found a Buddhist to help her astral travel yet.
Nearly 5 years later and I'm still grateful for this project or MAP rather, It got me through the toughest times and it still doing that today.To whoever is reading this never forget the beauty in pain or grief and embrace every change knowing that it will work in the End.Thank You Jhené for putting this put and healing us through your pain.You truly are God Sent.❤️❤️❤️Too Much love for you Queen.
I thought that song was mostly about her being with a guy and he ended up pretty much playing her while she was vulnerable. He gave her a shoulder to cry on when her brother died and she thought they were in love but it turned out he was messing with other women and the relationship she thought she had with him was one sided.
“I was a sunken ship.. a drunken sip of something thick.. and then I took a trip. There was no captain but you were my anchor.. there were poisons and demons and rhymes with no reasons.. and strangers but there was no danger.. Grampy named me penny but you taught me I was plenty.. And you taught me that to be complete that you have to be empty.. And free from all the miseries and energies that hinder me.. You brought me to my inner peace.. you taught me it was meant for me.. But it ends how it begins my friend.. until me meet again..”
Cant actually stop crying. Why do I feel like i'm watching myself in her. Why can I hear me in her words. Insane. The relatability is insane. What a Queen.
I thought she was a queen. But she's more than that, she gives life, life comes from her. She is life. She is mother I know it sounds weird. But I had to put it out there.
wow me too, i never identified more with a video/short film. This is so profound and i come here every now and then when i need a good cry and then im good again
My son died 26yrs ago. My wife died 5yrs later. I struggled with drugs, alcohol, and anger issues for YEARS afterwards. Eventually I had to get help. I learned in rehab that I didn;t have anger management ssues after all. I had grief and loss issues. They sat me down, and helped me write goodbye letters to both my son and my wife. That eased the pain dramatically. I still struggle. But I have found coping mechanisms that do not include self destruction. Keep your emotions purged, and you can cope. We NEVER forget those we love. But with time, we do learn how to live with loss. I am brand new to seeing this film, and listening to her music. I feel her pain in every word. Thank you sharing your heart with us.
I used to have a deep fear of losing an immediate family member. I've come to accept that when we have to go we have to go. I know that shit is still gonna be HELLA hard but this mini movie confirms how not letting go can cause you more pain and can even effect those that have transitioned to the other side. I really enjoyed this. I love Jhene's artistry.
Your so right my dad has stage 4 colon and liver cancer, and although he is alive and I have time, the only thing I can think about is losing him, and wanting to indulge in drugs just to get by, but seeing this let's me know I'm not alone
Angel pooh it isn't a human and personifying and actually putting a gender on a god is just a ridiculous idea to me. The whole point of being a male or female is to have a sex organ to reproduce. It is a silly concept that the creator of all things would actually need a penis or vagina if they are the creator of all things.
@@isabelgutierrez3658 yes they watch over us 💙 I’m sorry for your loss he’s in a better place with my brother 💙 stay strong he wouldn’t like to see you sad…
I lost my brother on April/30/2018 and that part hits deep every single time. I’m not seeking it out but making peace with death if it means seeing him again soothes me. I refuse to believe we won’t be reunited, siblings bonds can’t be broken, through life or death. I hope you’ve been healing and though grief never truly leaves I hope you made room for peace and happiness. I think our brothers would’ve wanted that for us. ❤
I watched Jhene performing her whole album Trip live. I was on acid & it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I felt her pain, joy, and trip.
This album and era pulled me thought my gramas passing and a lot of the difficult things that I’ve swept under the rug for years as a young adult. I needed this album
I just lost my brother recently and the only words that I can relate to are hers. Trip has always meant something to me. I just remembered this video and it was as if I was watching it for the first time again, actually understanding what it felt like in her shoes. Her brothers words felt as if he was talking to me. This touched my soul and this album will forever be one of my favorites 🤍
Since Chilombo has been released I am still stuck on TRIP. I don't know why though Chilombo is good but have to listen to it more. Jhene is the best!!!!!!!
I think trip will always be my favourite from her because it has helped me through so much but all of her music is amazing and she's definitely a blessing to the industry
A bit of a spolier, don't read if you haven't watched yet: I feel like this was therapeutic for Jhené. She and her brother were very close. I recommend this short film to anyone who's struggling with moving on with their life after the loss of someone close.
I love Jhené. I feel as if though we were meant to incarnate here on this planet, at the same time. I always believed that our soulmates don't have to be close to us in physical form, they are souls who we connect on another vibrational level. I discovered her music from a cover of The Worst here on RU-vid when I was around 10 and my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her music was so different to me ! I played those songs on my guitar and sang, because she had a voice tone similar to mine and I felt comfortable and thrilled to explore my unique voice. When I was 17 I revisited The Worst when my Cancer childhood crush broke my heart. That's when I wrote my first song, for the boy who told me first that I had an amazing voice... When I had my first dream about my true love I discovered Stay Ready and to that piece of art I wrote my first full notebook of poems and random thoughts. She taught me so much without ever knowing me. When I was 18 I started going deeper into tarot and astrology. I was ecstatic when I learned that Jhene is also a Pisces who is all about spirituality, self love and growth. For the past 2.5 years I was lost, depressed, anxious. 18-20.5 has been an intense period for me. I forgot my roots and I was swimming in unknown waters. Little by little I was approaching... 3 months ago my step - grandfather, an amazing,loving individual passed wa diagnosed with cancer. In the spun of two months I lost him and my grandmother's sister, a small fragile lady who told me that she loved me on every visit and I told her back. That's when I first listened to W.A.Y.S. Just yesterday I found out about your brother Jhene, I never knew. My faith grew stronger and in a dark and twisted way all that pain and sorrow moved me closer to peace. Now I'm getting ready for another trip, to finally get there. To anyone that may read this: Sometimes, you got to anchor yourself, but know that you are never alone. Each individual has its own struggles, but the Universe, God, Angels, Fate is always there, holding your hand. Create, sing, laugh, cry, dance, read, love, write, kiss, touch, eat, experience and most importantly swim ...
@@koshersalt951 Thank you for commenting and reminding me of this comment I made here, I needed to read it again ❤️ Happy New Year ! I wish you health, happiness and love 💕
For someone who's buried her mom @ 19 and everyone else by 25...and who's grown so numb, Jhene is an angel who speaks our unknown unspoken language of lost and found. It is a journey to find your smile back and to live on.
I cry every time I watch this. I lost my brother in 2014 and we both loved Souled out and been fans of Jhené since ‘03. Never knew the same album we played over and over again together, would be the one to help me through this death. Trip really dug in deep for me and it was hard for me to still accept him being gone but I’m glad she gave me this because it helped me stop running away from the pain and focus on the path of healing. Jhené- you are an angel sent from the heavens above thank you for everything you have done for this generation. We hurt. We run. And we inflict pain. Thank you for being the voice💕
The first time I Iistened to any of Jhene’s albums / mixtapes from start to finish was recently when I smoked weed for the first time in two years and got super stizoned. I planned on watching some pokemon episodes and a couple of RU-vid videos and to work on some RU-vid videos at the peak of my high but every time I tried to pause Trip, my mind was telling me “nothing is going to be better than just having full focus on this art.” It was the first time I really found a connection and divine appreciation for Jhene and her music. Before, I’ve been following her on Spotify and knew she was one of the most beautiful people in the world from photos - but now I see that it’s like her albums tell her situations so beautifully through her positive melodies and voice, even if she’s singing about a sad or low vibe circumstance. Her art is so angelic and pure. I appreciate her lyrics and creative vision more than any artist right now. The day after I got high, my intuition decided to skip down a research rabbit hole learning about her life and personal situations to get more perspective and clarity to her music. After learning more about her daughter and the intimate relationship she has with her, it makes me cry a bit every time I hear “Sing To Me” because it’s so beautiful shows how great her alignment is as a parent. It made me reflect on the relationship that i have with my parents and see that I don’t think any of us would write something like that about each other, and reminded me that a lot of people have awesome, close, relationships with their families and I love Jhene’s songs about her brother (like For My Brother) and family because it’s so different from mine. Her stories bring me hope and joy that people connect so well, even when I’ve never felt a connection with any humans as strong as she’s had with Namiko or her brother (i love my dog like that though haha). The day after that time I got stoned, I felt like a feeling of inspiration and liberation towards working more on my own art, similar to how Jhene and other artists are always focused on creating more. I filmed a few different RU-vid videos in the same day (they aren’t out on my channel yet) and even came up with an idea to challenge myself to stay consistent on my art for 30 consecutive days (i’ve struggled with daily consistency this summer a lot after ‘burning out’ a lil bit from my hustle and passion projects / art a few months before this). A couple of days after I got stoned that night first night, I listened to her song “For My Brother” again 3 times in a row (and the first time I heard it was the night I smoked. The first night I felt like I should be crying to it and like I’ve never heard so much passion and clear delivery in any song before. Her lyrics are so easy to understand which creates a a lot of deliberate intentions through every song.) The second time I listened to it I was sober and it was 2am. I started bawling and crying harder than I have in years. Maybe even harder than I ever have, and definitely the most I have in my adult life. “For My Brother” made me feel like I wish that I was close enough to someone in the ways that Jhene was best friends and siblings with Miyagi. In the moment i didn’t want to make the song about me, so I tried to focus on her lyrics but whenever I heard this “And I know it was for a reason, I won't stop believing, I won't And if the angels call your name Baby please tell them you're staying And if the angels call your name Baby please tell them that you're staying I know that you can hear this I know that you can Don't give up, don't give up on us,” I couldn’t stop crying. In the moment I wished that I have felt the love for someone, that she has for him. It just made me appreciate her music so much and to help me see how deep love can be. It put me in her situation for a second and me me feel love in my heart for if I actually lost someone that close to me. I love some people, but my whole life i’ve been pretty alone and independent, always finding love within myself and making myself my everything, and not expecting anything from others (but internally knowing that relationships are valuable of course). She is one of the only people / artist that I’ve wanted to actually get to know through researching her. Like usually I don’t know too much about someone’s backstory unless I’m a true fan (me towards Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Tupac, etc). I feel like I’m supposed to be living near LA just to meet the people that live there like Jhene so it inspires to create more and to get recognized so I can one day collaborate and converse with them. I remember I went to a spiritual concert type event in Downtown LA a few months back this year and Jhene visited the concert / event a couple of hours earlier than me that day (@CommunityHealing on IG - event). At the time, I didn’t really mind that I didn’t get to share presence and missed out on feeling her energy in person, but now that I am so much more aware of her wisdom, it makes me feel like I may see her at some point in LA in my life now that I am conscious and mindful of her to a deep level. I’ve seen these type of synchronicities happen to me multiple times in my life before since I grew up and live near Los Angeles. I grew up being really good friends with Warren G’s son and nephews, and have met many SoCal artists and actors etc in my life from being in the area - so I hope to one day experience a conversation with Jhene. Like just being mindful of a manifestation to meet someone definitely increases the odds of spontaneously seeing them. Jhene gives me a feeling of like I know her which feels so weird and I dont necessarily lik ethat feeling because it doesnt feel natural or like healthy to build these sort of one-way friendships with people i've never met from the internet like celebrities or whatever - but it feels okay this time because it feels real and like i have a feeling ill met her one day i guess is what it is. But Jhene, I just want to say that you are love. You are such a kind being and it shows in the authenticity within your energy and music. Thank you for existing and creating such amazing stuff, my friend 💙 - Voji
I always revisit this short film when i need a cathartic cry and release. It always somehow helps soothe my pain...as if it helps me feel through the pain so i can let it go.
like you really feel how much she misses her brother she really keeps him alive through her music i love you so much Jhene thank you sooo so much for being really open with your music it really touches and heals me
"There's a black hole in my soul, that's beginning to show, through my dilated pupils behind lids half closed. I thought I'd be fine by now, but suffering doesn't die, it grows" 😢 I lost my mum 3 years ago and this hit me so fkn hard. Thank you Jhene, this is a masterpiece
I am so sorry to hear that :( Grief is the worst, and I would never wish it on my worst enemy. I wish there was something I could reply with to help you feel better, but I just hope through music, e.g. Jhene's music, that it can help bring some light in your dark days as it has for me and how it has brought us all here, people from different walks of life all experiencing different or similar struggles, grief, depression etc. u may be sick of hearing this, but please stay strong my dear, it will be hard :( but please remember to take care of yourself before anything else x
I needed to see this. I have struggled with the loss of my father to brain cancer too...this helped me begin to process through my pain. Thank you for your courage to share.
I feel like Jhené made this short film to represent all of us who have had to experience the loss of someone just as dear to us, as Ayo was to her. I know I'm wrong, but I want to believe in it, in order to help me. Loss is never easy.
This made me start bawling. I coped the exact way she does in the video when I lost my brother, he was 23 I was 18. Same relationship they had (*have - that bond is eternal) her brother and mine even resemble each other so much . He would joke on me about how much I loved Tupac...I’m a cancer...(already an emotional water sign like pisces) Jhené and I have 1 daughter the same age as eachother - this hits home so hard for me 💔🥺😢😔
Au NATurel Vegan I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's been 4 years since my mom passed away. I know your pain. Stay close to God in your time in need.
This was one of the most beautiful short films I have watched. So poetic and deep. Talking about how sometimes we all have things holding us back that come from within us that we create in our minds and bodies. She proves how in order to move on you must accept it and know that you must live on. I am so happy I discovered this. Jhene Aiko is one of the most beautiful humans alive. She is a true gem and one of a kind.
there is just something about Jhené that is so different from every other artists out here. she's so pure & talented. the best part is that she doesn't even care about the numbers she makes, she shares because she truly wants to connect with her fans. this short film was absolutely beautiful. it gives us the reality of what pain is when we lose someone we love. i lost my father to leukemia a few months ago & watching this felt every single emotion. my condolences to anyone who has ever lost someone close to them ❤️
This is by far one of the best short films I have ever seen in my life . It’s not only relatable it’s authentic, inspirational, hopeful, soulful and powerful, I mean ..... shall I continue??? 🔥💕🔥💕🔥💕🔥
Omg! 😮i almost used all the same words to describe this! Authentic, inspirational... yeah there’s just not enough words to say how truly powerful this film was.
