Love, always ♥️

Comments

I'm quite new here and I joined because of you. Although I've never watched some of the series you're reacting to, I'm still interested in whatever you wanna share on your Patreon page, and I'm here to stay. 😉 Please take good care of your mental health, and take whatever steps are necessary to reach your goals! All the best wishes for you! Love from Austria!

There’s so much wonderful content in Jackie’s catalog. Enjoy

Diane Furlong

Jackie, I totally agree with Erin! You Matter so much to all of us! The Content is a nice Perk, for sure, but only if you’re content.

Diane Furlong

It all comes down to you, the person you are and the energy you put out into the world…

Erin

I had to step away for a couple of days but coming back and reading all these comments has filled my heart with so much love. I appreciate you all for the unwavering love and support. I’m very, very grateful for this community 😭❤️

Jackie-Ross Lavender

've been on an annual subscription for some time now, and have no intention of leaving. I remember the occasional videos from on board ship in the early days. Post what interests you when the inspiration hits!

Dear Jackie, thank you so much for sharing! Your mental health is everything! My daughter has just been in a psychiatric hospital for 2 month and in the beginning it was very hard for me. I sat at my psychiatrist an told him the exact same thing you just said „I don’t want to feel like that anymore!“. I was torn between my two children and my job and it was just too much. Now that we know that Lotta is autistic we get financial support and I can work less and spend more quality time with my family 😊 I hope you get there as well. I joyned your Patreon because of Heartstopper, but I stayed because of you! I am looking forward to everything you create 🥰 And I am sorry about stressing you out with my Memoto problems 🫣

Jackie, I’m so excited for you. You will smash 💥 your job!! We have got your back!! You need to make sure you come first. True Patron’s will Stay. I am staying ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lisa Lloyd - Jones

I have a degree in tv broadcasting so while I joined you last year when I figured out what the HeartStopper craze was all about, it was because of your talk of lighting and lens flares and shot compositions that is the actual reason behind my joining your Patreon. Your joy when you talk of these things mirrors my own when I see them in shows and movies and I have no one in my life that gets it like you do. So, yeah, I for sure want you to continue to feel that joy in everything you do-even if it is only a hobby. Passions can ebb and flow too, and in a few years, you may be ready to dedicate more time here once again. Take care of yourself Jackie! I’ll still be here when you are ready to upload your next video!! ❤️❤️

Completely take care of yourself, you are more important than, be well.🏳️‍🌈🌹

Magical Adorabella

I'm still relatively new here. And while I know you've been at this for many years and have community members who have followed you for years, I keep thinking about how you shared this message as one might to a best friend. And in a way that is giving, connecting, and inspiring. Thank you. Be well 💐

Lisa

I'm that percentage that is here for you. Your mental health and financial requirements are what is important here. Take care of yourself, big hugs 🫂❤️

Cathy Mills

Big fat hugs Jackie. I get it, completely. Boy can I ever relate to the feeling of semi-perpetually reevaluating things, the circling and circling but not seeing a place to land and settle. You have to be pragmatic and also find a balance that is joyful!

Jacqui Chesterton

We support you and completely understand the decisions you've made. Please prioritize your mental health, and we will still enjoy all your past content and any new content you feel inspired to create. I just joined this Patreon community last month, am making my way through all your wonderful reaction videos, and have no intention of leaving! Deep thanks for sharing your amazing energy, your candor, your humor, your heartfelt reactions and stories, and more with us! 💜

Tamara Gagnolet

Good for you! Best of luck!🫶🏻

annanas

You can skip Interview with a Vampire if that helps 😂 Seriously though, take care 💜

Kim Engel

I like the way you think Lane! I wrote my post first as well and then read everyone’s comments.

Diane Furlong

If I read all the other comments before I make mine, I think there’s nothing left for me to say, so I’ll go ahead and say this before I read anything else: doing what’s best for you is the most important thing. For one thing, if you are feeling stressed by putting out more videos than you can manage, that stress is probably going to show in the work, and I know you wouldn’t be satisfied with that. But more than that, my philosophy about things like YouTube, and Patreon is that they exist for the creator, and those of us who watch them are simply lucky to be able to watch those creations. You are putting out things that please you and satisfy your creative spirit, and you should only be putting out the things that enrich your own life. If you need to cut back on the number of things you produce for the good of your own mental and financial health, then that’s what you should do. And we will be glad to be here for what you create.

Lane Wright

Congrats on the new job Jackie, job hunting and interviews are hard. Best of luck with the move back to London, hope it all goes smoothly. I' only joined your Patreon this year, not planning on going anywhere anytime soon. You have to do what's right for you and put yourself first. Take care, sending a hug from Warwickshire.

Ali Laura

Aww, Jackie I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes and it has nothing to do with any sort of disappointment. I just wish I could give you a Big Hug!! I’m not surprised about the move back to London because you’ve commented about that. When something stops being fun or isn’t fulfilling anymore changes must be made. I’m so glad that you’re taking that step because your Mental Health and wellbeing is the #1 Priority! If one series and one exclusive still feels like too much, hell knock it back to every other week or once a month if need be. Sorry Mom Vibes kicked in but we all Care about you. Sending You Lots of Love and thank you for taking the time to tell us personally. I’m not going anywhere unless you decide to toss me out! BTW- you weren’t rambling 😘

Diane Furlong

I wanna give you a big hug right now!! 🫂 Thank you so much for your honesty. And I totally understand you. You’re right, you should totally put yourself first. You’re a wonderful human being and you deserve the world! We love you Jackie 🫶🏽

Frances

Pretty sure you know you are stuck with me, I can't abandon my little brother! I am glad you are doing what you need to do for you, and that you were able to find a job that you think will be good for you! I am looking forward to whatever content you choose to bring to us, you are amazing! If there is anything I can do to help (I know I am in NJ and an ocean away, but you never know) I will help! Oh yeah, one more thing....HYDRATE!!!!!!!!

Erin

Oh Jackie... I love your work and your passion. And your smile. And I love so much this feeling that I'm not alone struggling and worrying about 'just a show characters'. Take care pls and see you soon ❤️🤗

aniatka

I made my passion my job for over a decade and I got so burned out. Eventually every time I went to the barn I felt like it was work, even if I was there to ride my own horses. I ended up getting out of horses entirely which blows because it was my biggest joy. Glad you’re figuring out a better alternative before ending up at the worst option like I did.

Rowan Cannell

Hugs. I am all in for you taking care of yourself and feeling good again. I am one who went away, because LIFE, but am happy to be back and hope to stay for a while. Take care of yourself, congrats on the new job and exciting move back to London!

Bekki Babineau

As I have always said, you have to do what is best for you and your mental health. Admittedly lately, I haven’t watched as much as I have done in the past but I’m not a lover of the Skam/Druck shows. I wouldn’t stop following you for that reason though, your reactions are always really good and I have watched things that I would never have even thought of watching if you hadn’t shown them. A lesser schedule is probably better for me as I never have time to watch everything so I am happy with whatever you are able to put out. ❤️

Audrey Gunn

I wish everything good for you, Jackie, as always. Sounds like a very sensible decision, even though I am sure it was a difficult process to get to this point. Take care of yourself first and other things will follow. ❤️

Ruth May

I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I had a creative hobby which I loved and under pressure from well meaning people I started to run it as a small business. It wasn’t long before I lost all my enjoyment of it , too much pressure to not let anybody down and stress from having to devote all my spare time to it. I was lucky in that I didn’t suffer financially so could just go back to creating for pleasure as and when I felt like it. Good luck with everything , I’ll still be here for your reactions ! ❤️

Lynn0816

You are the most important part of all of this. I’m glad you made decisions that work better for your life. I’m sorry that things have been hard for you and hope these changes will bring you more peace. I love you and this community so you wont be getting rid of me anytime soon.

Darcy Bandaru

Oh Jackie, I feel very sorry that the last months were so hard for you 😔 Hopefully going back to London will make things better!!! I 'm glad that patreon will still get some content !! 1 video every week or maybe less is great.... There is enough content to watch again and again 😻😉 Thanks for the honest Video 💖 Sending big hugs from Germany. Saskia

Prinsassy

We love you take care of yourself I am definitely gonna stay 🤍

Yara Roos

I won’t be leaving.

Jon Anthony Carsello

I'm glad that you were able to find a balance with this and realize that you needed to step back. I really don't mind waiting a bit longer for videos, I still have a bunch i plan to watch but haven't yet. 😂 I hope your move goes well!

Dan

I think your insights and the wonderful reactions you share about things you have passion for has really enriched my life.

Jon Anthony Carsello

Good for you! Wish you the best! I’m here for whatever you bring to us. Thank you so much for all you do!

Michele
