A Note to JSE Community Members Who Can’t Go to the Show:

You are just as much a part of the community as the people who are able to go. I’m still new here, but everything I’ve seen makes me certain this community isn’t about spending money to prove you’re a fan. Jack wouldn’t want anyone to feel they have less of a place here just because they couldn’t afford to see the show.

I know how much it hurts to feel left out. A lot of you are in a place in life when that feeling is especially intense and especially hard to deal with. It’s okay to feel sad that you aren’t able to participate in something fun your friends get to do. If I could, I would buy tickets for everyone – and this community is so full of wonderful people who I know feel the same. I don’t want anyone to be left out. I hope you can get some happiness from seeing your friends fulfill a dream they have.

Try to remember that this isn’t the only chance you’ll ever have to see Jack in person. He’s planning to do more tours next year, and there are conventions every year. I’m sure he would still go to conventions even if he someday stopped making YouTube videos. The opportunity isn’t lost forever if you can’t see the show this year. You WILL get to meet him someday.

I hope you’ll be able to focus on the happiness, closeness, and positivity in the community. This is Jack’s year, which means it’s the community’s year, and you are part of that no matter who you are, where you are, and whether or not you can go to the show. The hurt is valid, but please don’t let it kill your PMA. There is so much to be happy about in this community, and it breaks my heart to think of anyone feeling like they’re cut off from that happiness. Try to remember the first pillar of 2018: Focus on the good.

Keep up that PMA, my dudes. 💚

Well said OP
