Totally agree. I often see people bagging Jessie because they think her style is tacky or that she is annoying... and maybe to some she is but I have always enjoyed her content. She wears her heart on her sleeve, she is super vulnerable and always shows that to be human is to make mistakes, change your mind, grow and admit it. I love her vulnerability. I feel so sorry for her. She struggles with serious depression and then you have Melanie who doesn't believe in anti-depressants because her depression was situational. Imagine having a sister like Melanie. UghI just can't believe she's putting up a self congratulatory post digging for compliments while her sister is struggling?
God if that was my sister I would be a bit more mindful especially when you feel how Jessie does now, you tend you feel like the whole world is moving on without you.
Jessie made a great video, maybe share that on your grid instead of your ego driven BS.
My heart goes out to Jess. It's really hard to see someone struggle like that. I'm glad she's home with her parents at least.
You put exactly what I wanted to say so eloquently. I agree 10000%. I think it is unproductive and futile disliking Jessie and criticizing petty things like clothing or even deeper stuff like her advice because she is young.Can you explain the last line, "But she was a very sheltered young girl playing at being an adult" - is this your speculation or did something come out about her?
I have a lot more empathy for Jessica than Melanie, because of course if you see your big sister having widespread success then you'll follow in those footsteps (particularly when it comes with advantages like book deals, and other things people only wish for). I'm not sure if the disliking of Jess is due to her age, or her advice, but I guess I don't think it's right to automatically assume she's sheltered / naive based on those things - if that's what your assumption is. I'm probably projecting to a certain extent though as I'm sick to my teeth of having my opinions invalidated due to my age.
I think it's always tricky when there are half siblings at play, particularly when your older sister clearly doesn't really love you all that much. From an armchair psychologist's perspective, she's copied her content to try and connect with her.
