That is why the full idiom of "blood is thicker than water" is actually: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". Our true family is the one that chooses each other.
Damn an hour long Jackie video? The gods are happy today lol In all seriousness, these paintings and the message behind them are beautiful. Great work Jackie!
Your teacher’s earth worm story made my heart warm. What a beautiful soul! Also your partner and you are so silly goofy, it’s adorable! I’m so happy you have that person in your life that can give you calm and comfort when you may otherwise be overwhelmed by anxiety. Wish you so much luck in your artistic journey ❤
dear jackie, first off, these paintings are beautiful and your process of creating them was even more beautiful, so thank you for sharing them with the world :) i've been watching your videos for the past 2 years and they've always inspired me to look at my art differently and approach the creative process with meaning & intention. you've probably heard it a million times, but your art is amazing and i genuinely hope you never stop creating it. i happen to be an incoming tree (crazy!!) and although the prospect of starting college is terrifying, your videos bring me comfort every time i watch them. even though i don't know you, i've never come across anyone who shares such similar thoughts & experiences to me, and i'm grateful you choose to share them in such a personal way. if you happen to read this, thank you for pouring your time, energy, & heart into your work. you give me hope that i can create art that really matters, and become as amazingly talented as you are one day. (i'm sorry if that was a lot i couldn't hold back from fangirling) sending love
i stopped by just to briefly check out this video but a moment later felt disappointed it was over. beautiful on so many levels. thank you for sharing and keep on slaying.
an utterly gorgeous video with stunning narration and craft, and a sprinkle of love in every minute. thanks for sharing this with the world jackie. it has both reinforced and evolved my idea of family and friendship and has permitted me to believe there is so much love, gratitude, and belonging to be found in the people we meet as i continue to grow. ❤️
This is probably the most beautiful and toutching yt video I have seen. Its so calm and varm, and the paintings, editing and both your and your chosen familys words makes it so so good. I don't have words for it
Omg, this is the most beautiful thing ever. The way you've paid tribute to your friends and talked about their unique characteristics and why you've loved them.. I loved every single one too and can see the way your sense of humours have overlapped with each other... I wish more people told their loved ones why they love them like this and really showed gratitude to them.. It's so touching and the world needs it! The paintings are amazing too of course!
i REALLY hope this video will someday blow up. the amount of work, effort and beauty in this is amazing and more people need to see this. I cant imagine how much time you put into this video as well as editing it 🥹🥹THANK YOU! You have not only inspired me, but many others with this project!! and also Bhu's laugh is GOLD 😝😝
This was a very beautiful video i loved every second of it, not everyone has strong family ties. This video really helps me not feel so bad about it and to appreciate my chosen family. This whole video is an art piece
this is such a good video i will come back here again and again if i feel bad. your chosen family shows a lot what a person you are and what your values reflect. We as an audience of a channel or me specifally probaly had a picture of such an encourageous women. You have so much love to spread and so much peace! Your other painting videos where really wholesome too and all. But this one to see the connection you have with these wonderfull intelligent and emotional people it filled my heart with joy and my eyes with tears! thanks for taking us along! to the day where i can afford to buy an original liu
The most beautiful video I have ever watched in my life. Jackie you are so amazing and such an inspiration and I look up to you so much. I almost cried when I saw how happy you are with everybody in this video and all the little stories of how you met them or your first few interactions with them are so touching 🥹🥹🥹 love u lots this video deserves so much more attention than it has
Glad you’re still uploading! Was thinking about ur channel the other day. I love people like you, cause I feel like you’d be a cool person to have around. You have a good one
jackie, everything about this video is perfect. i've been watching your videos for a couple years now and i just have so much respect for you. thank you for sharing your journeys, this one in particular is so special and so touching.
This is simply beautiful. My life, especially throughout my childhood and teen years, have been strife with loss, death, abandonment, fear, anger, resentment, trauma and betrayal. For the longest time, I didn't believe in family. I thought it was a romanticized concept that had all the people around me foolishly wishing for, desperate but impossible. My exploration with my queer and asexual identity, as well as watching marriages fall apart and people who were supposed to love me do the exact opposite did not help one bit. But eventually, I found my way. I found my people. Some have left, many are yet to be found, but most have stayed and saved me many times over. Now I can say for certain that to me, family is choice. It is the choice to step up and be there for someone. The choice to set boundaries and ask for consent. The choice to get back up and try again, even when you have the weight of a thousand mountains atop your shoulders. The choice to open up and to have the hard conversations. The choice to better yourself, every day, for the people you choose to love and the people who choose to love you. This video reminded me of this journey that has taken my entire life, and will continue on until the moment I take my last breathe. I'm sure that my answer to the question, "What is love to you?" will change - whether that be tomorrow, next month, or fifty years from now. But for now, family to me is choice. Despite everything that is thrown your way, despite the horrible, painful moments that rip you to shreds, and entirely because of the bright, beautiful ones that make you feel like it's all worth it; to me, family is choice. Thank you for reminding me of that.
Thank you for showing this project. I've been catching up in other platforms of this and am glad to see this whole video. It's great to see how close people can be despite distance. I wish to have friends and family this close someday and wish to build towards this. Thank you ^v^

Just a question: The lake is really called "lagunita"? So, is it a lake called "little lagoon"? ☺
