happiness is relative...

Words of the wise

[JPgonPro17]

Wow, your way with words are amazing. What you said is so true in every way. I can certainly relate...I've been lost, trying to figure out who i am, unhappy..etc. But, I'm young...I've got time, just like you said. I'm finding myself..and I will continue to evolve into the person I want to become and want to be...and that is OK. Hearing you say that makes me smile...hearing you say that it is ok, makes my day! =] haha

so, thank you! you're fantastic.

keep doing what you're doing. <3

Take care of you.

[01shanez01]

[KimmyArmani]

HEPHEP HORRAY!, i need some changes... it really takes time, im taking it one step at a time.. and by beign a positive thinker, coz Energy Flows Where Attention goes! ^_^

[photoaperture]

Finally! some one older saying exactly what i need to hear. I'm 23 and always wonder if this is it.

[paramore13x]

i definitely needed to hear all that, thanks jess.

[LaurenPettigrew]

Switched out the fixie for a longboard, eh?

[rikku131821]

Isn't that Mary's longboard?

[faithrox555]

[erinbeattie1]

[ericaa406]

good to hear all that. i need to be reminded every once in a while. thanks! feel better

[jigglypuffgirl]

hey i cant watch any jess videos, how odd

[sarasayswhat]

You are never boring. You always give such sound, sage advice/insight, which I very much appreciate, especially as I feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights waving at my life as it passes relentlessly on by! Hope you feel better soon. xx

[teresa1235]

cool eyes

[simplayaj]

i just got over my sick! i need to be happier and stop worrying about stuff...

[Pozoe12]

EVERYONE is sick. i'm not even kidding. 11% of the kids in my school were absent cuz something-probably swine-is going around. its ridiculous

[teaka15]

i hope you feel better asap!

[deltapep]

Feel better :) and maybe mary b can comfort you :) haha that helps me sometimes

[Minireb123]

I hope you feel better! It seems like everyone is getting sick these days =p

[elfaromeo]

Damn im sick too.

[PaintedRavensong]

Get well soon!!! Yes, it takes years to really figure it all out and get on a track that you feel truly confident about and unwavering!

[RealLoveNeverEnds1]

hope u get better soon!

[Paraply1990]

I didnt find it boring at all. Great video - actually inspired me. Thanks Jes! Hope you feel better soon.

[SaithJC]

I like what you said about what you decide to show that day is what we see. I'm on a collab channel and sometimes I forget that people sometimes only see one side of me. I want to portray myself better. MUCH LOVE!!!

[romeogar]

get better soon xx

[Grahamebs]

Feel better Jess!!!!!

We can be couch potatoes together. I'm sick too.

[xxxlelxxxmooxxx]

"Hey everybody it's Jess your host FOR Mondays on the beaver bunch" I've just noticed how the "for" is always emphasised at the beginning of your videos haha.

Love you and your videos!

Get better soon!

[Dwcrenegade]

Thanks for the video Jess. You're a great role model and you give so many of us hope! Hope you feel better soon :)

[Saralalalalove]

Feel better Jess!

And the video was exactly what we needed, short but with a powerfull (cheesy commercial =P ) message!

That is what life is actually all about, little cheesy I-AM-AT-THE-TOP-OF-THE-MOUNTAI­N moments.

If you save them all up, you can look at your life and say you lived it.

[nubecitaboyi]

i TOTALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! i beleive that life is full of moments, when your life is fantastic its for sure to come bad moments. And when your having the worst time of your life theres a sure good thing coming....

[Heidi19689]

Hi jess. Hope you get better soon. So true what you said. Live is a chain of moments. The good thing of a bad moment is, that it's temporary. Like a river we flow. Real happiness is the discovering that you're flowing. (now I will stop, otherwise it's getting too 'cheesey':-)

[danaalekseev]

thank you jess... short but very meaningful. and uhhh... hope you get better soon...

[missdaoumen]

Get better jess( hot milk & honey ) is work !! am french live in paris and at the moment i don't enjoy my live but a hope one day (soon) all get better !!!

[ranchai100]

I think your right to a point,but I know from past experience that some things that happen are beyond our control.Prior to 1996,I was a very happy,very hopeful person.Now however I find such times fleeting at best.I guess after 1996,due to circumstances I wont get into,I just plain gave up.But that said I chose to do so,so this is my doing I guess.anyway stay happy Jess and all my best to you and Mary B.Oh,and to coin an old phrase,get better soon.Colds can be very annoying

[TheSurfChick]

A shout out from Wales in the UK... :-). Love your videos Jess, i look faward to them each week, they are an outlet for me at the moment. Hope you feel better soon!

[itsmandydammit]

Jesus, you guys seem to read my mind. A couple days ago I was thinking to myself "Man, those Beaver Bunch kids are always so freakin happy." of course that's not a bad thing but I guess it kinda makes a person slightly jealous (regardless of the fact that we don't personally know you guys) considering a lot of people watch these videos for inspiration.

This week is pretty much what I've been needing for a while.

[Elaina43]

That IS a really big thing... Kudos!

E-

[amyjohnson09]

i really needed to hear this. im 18 and in my first semester of college. i'm not even too sure if i want to go to school next semester. i just know that i want to move out and move in with my girlfriend and start my life the way that i want it to be, instead of what my parents want.

[MAM2012]

"Dont Let Life Happen TO You. Take Control. Make a Change If You Need To."

This was my favorite quote. Its a future inspirational t-shirt.

<3 Loved it.

[Stephysworld]

It was not boring! It says what it had to say. I would have really long to say about this subject, even though i'm not totally happy and in peace with who I am but still... Life depends on the way you choose to see it :) accordgin to myself at least...

[jeremy1350]

Hey Jess... greetings from Montreal. I agree with what you had to say. I took me until I hit my 30's that things started to come together, I moved, met my hubby and got married. When I hit my 40th birthday, something happened, and the world opened up in a new way. I had enough time behind me to say "I remember when and don't do that ..." perspective and wisdom comes along with age and time. Don't rush it. But enjoy the process...

[adorkablexdoll]

your great jess, i look forward to your videos every monday. get better soon!

[123MikeyGo]

Poor Jess, I hope you feel better soon <3

I think Ive come to a point in my life

where Im starting to value the small joys in life. One small joy would be watching you every Monday on the beaver bunch =]

[JenMK1]

This video was so inspirational to me. I'm in my early 20s and I still don't know who I am or who I want to be. It's one of the main struggles in my life and I think about it on a daily basis, as if it's almost an obsession. My mom lost her battle with cancer two months ago. I took this semester off and I'm in a huge rut in my life where it feels like my life is literally going nowhere. Not much makes sense but your video helped me.

Thank you for your words and I hope you start feeling better!

[bornadisaster911]

your comment hit home for me, im in a similar situation. the beaver bunch, videos like these, give me hope that things will all work themselves out one day. We just gotta hang in there for the time being... =)

feel better Jess! and thank you for taking time out of your day to talk to us.

[marisolvelazquez218]

Get well soon Jess!!

I definitely know where your coming from. I made some bad decisions in my life, & now when I look back, it has made me a stronger person. I'm more confident in myself, knowing that I can overcome anything that is thrown at me.

GREAT VID!!

:D

[Janissing]

happiness is quite an uthopic term. We'll rather talk about happy moments... moments that may last 5 seconds or 1 month or even a year... but life is a rollercoaster and happiness is an ideal, clearly not something constant. We have to look for happiness. Don't wait for it to come and show you the road. It's all about searching for that moment that will change your life, consequently making you happy through a series of events, that can be sad or traumatic, but life changing.

[Janissing]

my english is getting worse by the second. Anyway... how would you translate "utópico" to english? i though that by adding an h and taking off the accent i could get somewhere near, but the word is UTOPIAN... my bad, sorry!

[Jayd2020]

Honey with hot water fresh lemon and crushed ginger root sweetie :D

[abstractjem]

By the way your video was not boring! I think it's actually impossible for any vid you do to be boring lol!: )

[AmandaWiddifield]

i really needed this video today

:)

[abstractjem]

Hey you're too Rad to be sick,so get better soon!: )

[blotterbook]

i'm sick too! feel better!

thanks for this video, too. some people are really bad at so- called "pep talks", but you're so believable that i take it to heart. it means a lot.

[losr18]

loved the video

sorry to hear you're sick, but you're in good hands i mean shoot...you have mary b to take care of you and i'm sure she'll do a great job doing it =)

[tegansararock007]

i really like your videos., i dont know but you have some kind of aura or energy or something that just is so soothing... its amazing!

and thanks for those wise words, it will help lots of people i bet. : )

hope you can feel better soon! hugs from PERU!

[SkeetSkeet113]

You always make my Mondays a little more enjoyable . Feel better ! :D

[BexBullet]

Hey Jess. Sorry to see that you're ill. Hope you feel better soon and I'm sure you'll be receiving 100's (if not 1000's) of "get well" comments (:

Even though I love life right now cause everything's changing, I almost can't wait for those years where I can find out who I am and achieve what I want out of life. ah well. I guess I'll just have to be patient for...11 or so years..ahaa (: xx

[edgehaedjr]

Get well Jess. I'm sick too. I feel you.

[skaterdarkis]

[MadCoolHippy22]
