For the record, it is okay to be in your mid-late twenties and not know what you want to do. It’s also okay to live with your parents to save up money to be where you actually want to be. Keep being real Hannah!
Piggy backing off this comment which is 10000% true. I’m an older millennial and love watching your content. But we all go through that crisis with, what am I doing with my life? Should I do something completely new? That is all normal. I’m also really glad to hear that you’ve been applying to some jobs. Now I’m not saying be part of the 9-5 cog but I think having a boss could really push you or ask you those difficult questions. What do YOU want out of this? How do you see yourself in 5 years? You don’t need to have the answers but having someone push you to be your best self really does make the difference. All in all just saying, you’re killing it, and you will figure it out. Plus, we’re all just faking it till we make it
Congrats on 800k girl!!!! I love the honest and real chat! TBH as a corporate girly who is working hard to become a full-time content creator... I understand what you're saying, but the honest truth is that TIME is the best value of all. And you have that NOW! If you wanna travel the world, you get two weeks out of the whole year to do that in the corporate world... and you can't take two weeks at once. So if you want to travel the world... DO IT NOW! Go live your life, be based out of your parents house and travel the world. Getting caught in the corporate life is the last thing I recommend, but I'm proud of your growth mindset! YOU GOT IT
I read a book a while back that I think was called Light from uncommon stars and a quote that really stuck with me was "Tomorrow is tomorrow. Over there is over there. And the here and now is not a bad time and place to be, especially when so much of the unknown is beautiful." I've really tried to live by that recently. It's a much more positive approach to life. You got this!
I loved the little bit around 19:00 where you mentioned liking watching other people do "boring" stuff (and that it makes you happy when people say that to you) because while I don't really watch that many vloggers, I love having stuff to watch that feels like I'm watching a friend on FT. All my friends atm are long distance, and I work from home, so it's really easy to get lonely, and having videos like this are awesome because there's no pressure to also be presentable for a FT call (because that can get exhausting). I've really loved having your videos around to watch for the past few years. Your mid-20s can be a super weird time where you feel really lost (going through the same thing rn), so I get it, and I think whatever you end up doing and trying and pursuing, you'll be fantastic ❤
“When your hobby turns into your lifeline, it’s not a hobby anymore” Thank you for saying this! I don’t think doing what we love for a career has to be our #1 hobby. Maybe you will love the corporate world but it will also be JUST work and you can come home to your hobbies.
I really hope you see this because I want you to know how much comfort your videos bring me! Please don’t ever feel like you’re putting out boring/repetitive content. Your “mundane” day in life videos are my favorite! I’ll watch them multiple times because it truly feels like chatting with a friend on FaceTime (total parasocial relationship 😬). I’ve had a lifelong dream of living in NYC, so I love living vicariously through you in your day-to-day vlogs. Also, quick side note, I turned 30 this year and I think that feeling of “what am I doing with my life?” never really goes away… because how will we ever know if we’re making the right decisions? Just gotta live in the moment and enjoy the ride ❤
Sonder: german word for the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, in which you might appear only once. Describes really well what you were saying about realising other people also have their whole lives!
not to be a bummer but this isnt a real thing in german, it was made up by american author and neologist John Koenig in 2012 for a dictionary project (the meaning is still cool though)
hannah, i quit my teaching job at the beginning of january bc i was unfulfilled and miserable. i've applied to over 300 jobs and i've had a few interviews here and there but i've been freelancing in tutoring and other contractor jobs. i'm also about to turn 25. i totally get it. it's terrifying. but i believe that something will come my way at the right time and i know that you believe that too. we got this!!🎉
Tbh you're one of the few creators that I actually watch every single video of! Your video's are familiar, comforting and I can just listen to you talk for-ever! So just do you, I'll be watching
Hannah, just wanted to say you are my favorite youtuber because we are so similar, you are so relatable. We are the same age and graduated the same year, and we have so many of the same thoughts and feelings about life! I always love hearing your perspective and watching your videos. Keep being great 💗
Yes!! I'm 24 going on 25 this year and I completely get that stuck feeling & like there's a missing piece but you can't put your finger on what's missing!!
Hannah just also want to say I think you would do so well in a structured job. You’re so organised and intelligent, you would thrive in a setting like that. Also it would add another exciting element to your RUclips videos.
There’s so much I wanna say but you’re my comfort RUclipsr Hannah and I appreciate how honest you were in this video about the struggles of feeling lost. Makes me feel more human and that you and I aren’t so different.
I am 34 and your channel is the most comforting channel that I watch on RUclips. Don’t ever think it doesn’t matter. It does. I come here when I need calmness in my life.
As a Brazilian who lived in Spain, I can say that you will absolutely LOVE both countries 😍 and Hannah, I love your vlogs! Your content help me to practice English! Your work is not meaningless. 🥰
I felt this one in my spirit. Navigating gratitude because you recognize the blessing in what you're doing while simultaneously craving something different, something more, is TRICKY. If it helps, this internet stranger is right there with you xx
Love these sitdown videos. I’ve been doing Gel X nail for the past 5 months I think by myself and I love it. Two tips: 1st: buy a goose neck UV lamp to curate individual nails! It’s easier to just point it to nail instead of putting your hand under the UV light. 2nd: when you apply the gel on the nail add a little blob of gel in the free edge so it adheres to your own nail better! It makes it last forever. And please come to Brazil! Would love to have you here! ❤
21:39 Girl thanks for sharing ❤❤ trust me it doesn't sound like you're complaining at all! On the contrary, it was refreshing to hear someone else be so open an honest with these types of struggles such as people pleasing and overthinking, especially coming from someone like you who has achieved so much success 💞 To anyone reading this, you got this! I'm realizing more and more how normal it is to feel lost in your 20s. We're all ouy here just trying our best😅 rooting for you all!
I’m excited to watch your new reading vlog! One thing I’d really like to see you explore is volunteering in your community (and even when you travel). I volunteer regularly and it honestly is SO rewarding, both for myself and the people I help. It’s an awesome thing to do and I’d love to see more content creators volunteering
i was ready to do my own gel nails at my home, just looking for a video while doing it, the way i SCREAMED when I read the title of your video, loved it.
I love this video and videos like this! It’s so nice to hear the honesty of moving and not knowing where your supposed to be or what your supposed to be doing. It’s like a personal video combined with one of your open podcasts. :) thank you for continuing to be honest. It helps those of us who also feel stuck and unsure about our futures.
As part of the probably not that much amount of Spanish people watching you it feels so cool that you say you want to visit in here!! I'm sure you will be thrilled
Ive been watching you for years and I loveee seeing you grow into the person you are today. You’ve always been so honest and relatable and I love that. Love you!!!!
This video was truly one of my favourites! I love the way you think and express yourself and I related to so many things. We definitely need this type of videos more often ❤️
watching this while doing my own nails after having felt a lil lost over the last week (: thanks for being there hannah, you’re doing great and i’m so excited to see how your future unfolds!
don't get discouraged! I met my boyfriend two years ago in an in person setting (and I was 27 when I met him). What is meant for you will be for you, just enjoy life for now! I feel like when I stopped looking for a relationship, we met. It's kind of crazy how life works out that way
Dear Hannah, it has been a pleasure and an honour to listen to you in this video. I absolutely love all of your content, but even more so when I can have an insight of how you think and see the world. You are such a deep thinker and I can relate to so much of what you share, be it your ideas, feelings or aspirations. Thank you for being around and for trusting us with this content ♥️
I'm so happy you've gotten into reading! It's one of my favorite hobbies. One thing I will say, especially in the fantasy genre, is it is so important to read diversely. Books can be harmful just as much as they can be helpful. Some authors I would recommend are Tracy Deonn, R.F. Kuang, N.K. Jemison, Octavia Butler, Nghi Vi, Sabaa Tahir, Hafsah Faizal and Aiden Thomas. Please don't let this discourage you from reading and expanding your horizons. I wish you all the best in your reading!
I don't ever comment on RUclips videos butttt I wanted to say that I have always loved your content! You're one of my comfort youtubers especially because I feel like we're quite similar, I also studied marketing at uni, graduated last year and figuring out what I want to do so I love keeping up with what you're doing. It just feels comforting to watch someone go through similar life experiences as you. Keep going Hannah and do whatever feels right for you! 💗💗
hannah you inspire me, from your vlogs studying, routine, doing things in your room at your parents' house like new hobbies, remodeling it, doing night routine (in fact the first video I watched was a night routine video and I felt very comfortable there) soon after that I marathoned ALL your videos! now that you live alone you inspire me to become independent like you are, go places alone, understand that life is good even though I don't have a boyfriend, giving me the portrait of a real person, please keep posting videos because they give me Help a lot, know that there is someone like me in their 20s who is still trying to find themselves in life I'm sure it's not just me but you inspire many girls! Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us, my eyes are full of tears here knowing that you exist, you are real 🥹 I love you so much and I'm very proud of you 🤍 hugs from 🇧🇷
hannah!!! as a 26 y/o who has always wanted to make youtube videos consistently (literally would love for that to be my job) but is currently working as a freelance videographer for a small social media marketing agency, it is SO interesting to hear you talk about how you feel like that's what you might be missing! i'm constantly feeling like i'm "too late" to try something new / go in a different direction and it feels like there are almost TOO many options that might be the right fit for me lol all of this to say, and as so many other people here have said, you are not alone in this feeling! and as much as i used to dread the thought of getting older, i'm actually getting really excited for my 30s and how much better i'll know myself by then :) you truly have created such a comforting, safe space for so many - so so proud of you
Okay...truth be told, i'm a quiet real one. I've been watching and liking your videos for a while now and I never comment - 1. because i'm shy and 2. i'm older than dirt and don't want to come off as a mother. Anyway, i'm much older but i still love watching your videos and love your vibe because I feel like you have an old soul in you and just love that you are being you, something i could never do when i was your age and it's really inspiring; even for this old gal. I'm happy you'll never give up creating content because I would miss it because your videos are just like a warm cozy fire to me. Anyway, all that to say your content brings value to me and i truly enjoy it.
Don’t recommend corporate life as someone who’s mental health severely went down and working my way back up. We don’t get to just travel or go on vacation so enjoy all these things you are able to! I know you’re grateful for the life you have but enjoy the freedom that you truly have. Corporate life doesn’t always have that work life balance we look for.
Loved this video Hannah! I‘ve been watching since your college times and I watch every single vid 🥰 It was so interesting to hear you struggles with your job and you were not complaining at all! I‘ve noticed this with a lot of youtubers that the perfect balance seems to be a job (maybe part time) and a youtube channel on the side. Creating content out of life it self must be exhausting, even though I also love watching vlogs where people clean and edit etc. But when thats all you do and cutting videos I totally understand that after a while it may not be fulfilling anymore. I don‘t know how it is in the US but working in corporate is not so bad as people make it out to be. You meet lots of new people, do interesting work and often get a lot of corporate benefits. Just depends on the company and your boundaries. Good luck on your journey! ❤
I've been watching you since highschool and now im getting my masters degree and you and your content still feels like the big sister i never had. i can never truly put it into words how much your content has comforted me in times of distress. i love u so so so much
I never comment this even tho I watch every single one of your videos multiple times a week on repeat, but... I'm a real one🥺🥹❤ I just feel like such a fraud bc Ik there are some ppl who skip to the end or just say it without meaning it, but ilysm Hannah and you're doing great! and I not only hope that u know that, but that you believe it too.
I never comment on videos but I wanted to say that your videos are so warm and comforting to me! I love watching your videos to get motivation to be productive and get things done:)
For the dating thing, it is absolutely so realistic to find somebody without apps. I found my partner without any of that or expecting to and we’ve been together for four years now. The dating culture could be way different in NYC than KC, but as long as you’re going places outside of ur apartment you’re increasing that likelihood of meeting great people. Not even going out and partying necessarily :)
You should totally come to Brazil! You'll love it here! Also, if you want to continue on the fantasy book genre, I recommend the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, it's really good.
I was just sitting doing my nails as well throughout this whole video haha but Hannah it is completely normal to feel this way and as an almost 25 year old I absolutely relate to everything you say! I know we'll figure it out eventually so I'm trying to trust the process!❤
about the trips, I’m from São Paulo, Brazil and you’re gonna love it here so much, like you have no idea how incredible it is and seeing how much you enjoyed Thailand I know it’s gonna be a similar experience, can’t wait to see the cafes you’re gonna visit here ☺️
love your content hannah! what you were talking about at the end is called "sonder", which is the realisation that every passerby has a life as complex as your own. it's such a strange but wonderful feeling to experience. lots of love from australia, we can't wait for you to visit one day xx
Hannah alise, I did not know we would be two people, with the same soul, in different bodies, contintents away. Besides all the experiences you're having with work and career and the uncertainty of it all, I literally also had the same experiences with fourth wing and acotar. I'm also currently reading book 3 from the glass of throne series.
Girl, I am in my early twenties, I feel I am getting older and I don't know what to do with my life still while others my age or younger already seem to have their lives together, a stable job, a family of their own and I feel like I am stuck in one place but at the same time, I am truly happy with these years of my life because it is different than everyone else but it is peaceful and clam stress free. But I feel I shouldn't just stay in one place because no one ever does stay in their comfort zone....and I dont wanna but I need to. It's hard and I completely understand you, you feel like you are meant to do something greater with your life but you are not doing it right now. Oh well, I'll see what happens because not everyone has the same pace and that's okay! I just need to remember that everytime I feel like that.
Hannah, I love that video so much! Your channel is so relatable and I love seeing you in your reading era! The Throne of Glass series is one of my all time favorite fantasy series and I cannot wait to see your opinions on that. I also recommend the Crescent City series, Powerless, Once upon a broken heart and the Shatter me series (this is more dystopian than fantasy) Greetings from Germany
everything aside, because your feelings on content creation as a job are soooo valid, your content is my favorite thing I consume on the internet - as a real one since the temple days ILY and your videos make my life better 🤍
about the content-related question, I love watching RUclipsrs do everyday routines without something extraordinary because I feel closer to them and that they are just people too just like me. It doesn't make me feel that I am lazy or that I don't do things so girl keep vlogging keep doing what you love and don't even think you are boring bc you are so creative and fun to watch!!!!
I 100% agree with the love part I want to find someone like the old days, I think it’s possible. I just understand you so much!! It’s like I’m ok with not having anyone but at the same time I’d like to have someone 🤞🏻 You are doing amazing so just take it slow!
I feel like everyone is kind of experiencing the same thing of burnout and just wanting to change overall. But experience it differently. I am 24, been in the education industry for a while. I have kind of wanted a change. But scared too. But now also seems like a good time to do it. Love watching your videos and just relating to the same thing.
I get everything that you're saying, but know this... People that are watching you... care about you, your life, your thoughts, your feelings. It doesn't need to be new or fresh or exciting because it's about you and your life and we feel privileged to be a part of that and a part of your journey. And we just want you to be OK so like whatever content you put out is ok because it tells us how you are and reassures us that you are doing well ... Speaking for the group, you are important to us. We love you.❤
Watched this while doing dishes instead of doing dishes in silence and when I was done your video had also just ended. I’m a real one and thank you for keeping me company 😂❤
congrats on 800k subscribers omg!! also i am once again recommending "swordcatcher" by cassandra clare, it's my favorite fantasy book right now, with well-written characters, beautiful worldbuilding, and a really intriguing plot with incredible plot twists
Highly recommend a life purpose career coach. Mine helped me so much! Also, have you considered doing freelance marketing for indie authors? Many indie authors struggle with marketing their own books because they want to focus of the writing. Might be an awesome field to consider that would allow you a similar at home setting.
I think you’d do really well in freelance brand strategy / marketing / social media management for a few local businesses where you could also shoot content for them! I also know you’d kill it in a more structured job but this could be something to try out in the meantime
Girl throne of Glasses a JOURNEY. I'm on my third re-read of the series and its just such an amazing world and cast of characters! I literally get emotional thinking about Throne of Glass and ACOTAR lol
Thank you for your honesty. I love your content- everything of yours. I feel the same about getting to know someone off dating apps. Have met my boyfriends also offline. Manifesting 🤞🏻
I was in a very inspired mood sometimes to make short form videos and I was so excited to make them but then I thought I should start my YT channel and with YT you have to be consistent no matter if you are in an "inspired mood" or not. So yes I did loose my sparkle :( and I had to take a pause to find it again
Hannah, I don't think any of this sounds like complaining or being ungrateful. It makes so much sense that you would feel all of these mixed emotions!! Good luck w the job search :) some unsolicited advice, but I wonder if you would be able to find an internship to boost your resume, since you already have income from youtube? I feel like it's a really valid concern that agencies might not value youtube experience as much as they should, and a low stakes internship may help with that? No matter what, anything you do is going to be great!!
Cute love stories still exist! I met my partner 2,5 years ago in a side job that we both did to make some extra money. He changed my world, we became palls the second we met. Now we live together and are building our own little life
You are a shining star 🌟8i love your honesty. What about becoming a travel journalist. In UK we have someone called Simon reeve who does shows for bbc. They are more about the people, places and communities he visits than about him. It might allow you to do all the things you love... May be in various fornats e. G. Video, podcast, writing... Whilst also taking spotlight off yourself and the pressures that come with this. I'm 41 and you remind me do much of myself in my 20s. I did a lot of travel and soul searching too and felt I had to have my s**t together way too young. Keep following your dreams x
For the record, it is okay to be in your mid-late twenties and not know what you want to do. It’s also okay to live with your parents to save up money to be where you actually want to be. Keep being real Hannah!

YES TO EVERYTHING U SAID ABOUT FANTASY! I just started ACOTAR this year and a court of mist and fury is the BEST

hannah you inspire me, from your vlogs studying, routine, doing things in your room at your parents' house like new hobbies, remodeling it, doing night routine (in fact the first video I watched was a night routine video and I felt very comfortable there) soon after that I marathoned ALL your videos!
now that you live alone you inspire me to become independent like you are, go places alone, understand that life is good even though I don't have a boyfriend, giving me the portrait of a real person, please keep posting videos because they give me Help a lot, know that there is someone like me in their 20s who is still trying to find themselves in life
I'm sure it's not just me but you inspire many girls! Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us, my eyes are full of tears here knowing that you exist, you are real 🥹 I love you so much and I'm very proud of you 🤍 hugs from 🇧🇷
hannah!!! as a 26 y/o who has always wanted to make youtube videos consistently (literally would love for that to be my job) but is currently working as a freelance videographer for a small social media marketing agency, it is SO interesting to hear you talk about how you feel like that's what you might be missing! i'm constantly feeling like i'm "too late" to try something new / go in a different direction and it feels like there are almost TOO many options that might be the right fit for me lol
all of this to say, and as so many other people here have said, you are not alone in this feeling! and as much as i used to dread the thought of getting older, i'm actually getting really excited for my 30s and how much better i'll know myself by then :)
you truly have created such a comforting, safe space for so many - so so proud of you
Okay...truth be told, i'm a quiet real one. I've been watching and liking your videos for a while now and I never comment - 1. because i'm shy and 2. i'm older than dirt and don't want to come off as a mother. Anyway, i'm much older but i still love watching your videos and love your vibe because I feel like you have an old soul in you and just love that you are being you, something i could never do when i was your age and it's really inspiring; even for this old gal. I'm happy you'll never give up creating content because I would miss it because your videos are just like a warm cozy fire to me. Anyway, all that to say your content brings value to me and i truly enjoy it.
Don’t recommend corporate life as someone who’s mental health severely went down and working my way back up. We don’t get to just travel or go on vacation so enjoy all these things you are able to! I know you’re grateful for the life you have but enjoy the freedom that you truly have. Corporate life doesn’t always have that work life balance we look for.
Loved this video Hannah! I‘ve been watching since your college times and I watch every single vid 🥰
It was so interesting to hear you struggles with your job and you were not complaining at all! I‘ve noticed this with a lot of youtubers that the perfect balance seems to be a job (maybe part time) and a youtube channel on the side. Creating content out of life it self must be exhausting, even though I also love watching vlogs where people clean and edit etc. But when thats all you do and cutting videos I totally understand that after a while it may not be fulfilling anymore. I don‘t know how it is in the US but working in corporate is not so bad as people make it out to be. You meet lots of new people, do interesting work and often get a lot of corporate benefits. Just depends on the company and your boundaries. Good luck on your journey! ❤
I've been watching you since highschool and now im getting my masters degree and you and your content still feels like the big sister i never had. i can never truly put it into words how much your content has comforted me in times of distress. i love u so so so much
I never comment this even tho I watch every single one of your videos multiple times a week on repeat, but... I'm a real one🥺🥹❤ I just feel like such a fraud bc Ik there are some ppl who skip to the end or just say it without meaning it, but ilysm Hannah and you're doing great! and I not only hope that u know that, but that you believe it too.
I never comment on videos but I wanted to say that your videos are so warm and comforting to me! I love watching your videos to get motivation to be productive and get things done:)
For the dating thing, it is absolutely so realistic to find somebody without apps. I found my partner without any of that or expecting to and we’ve been together for four years now. The dating culture could be way different in NYC than KC, but as long as you’re going places outside of ur apartment you’re increasing that likelihood of meeting great people. Not even going out and partying necessarily :)
You should totally come to Brazil! You'll love it here! Also, if you want to continue on the fantasy book genre, I recommend the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, it's really good.
I was just sitting doing my nails as well throughout this whole video haha but Hannah it is completely normal to feel this way and as an almost 25 year old I absolutely relate to everything you say! I know we'll figure it out eventually so I'm trying to trust the process!❤
about the trips, I’m from São Paulo, Brazil and you’re gonna love it here so much, like you have no idea how incredible it is and seeing how much you enjoyed Thailand I know it’s gonna be a similar experience, can’t wait to see the cafes you’re gonna visit here ☺️
love your content hannah! what you were talking about at the end is called "sonder", which is the realisation that every passerby has a life as complex as your own. it's such a strange but wonderful feeling to experience. lots of love from australia, we can't wait for you to visit one day xx
the feeling of realizing everyone has their own life and own story is called sonder!!
Throne of glass is literally the best series i’ve ever read, better than ACOTAR! You’ll LOVE IT 🤩
Hannah alise, I did not know we would be two people, with the same soul, in different bodies, contintents away.
Besides all the experiences you're having with work and career and the uncertainty of it all, I literally also had the same experiences with fourth wing and acotar. I'm also currently reading book 3 from the glass of throne series.
Loving your reading era! I just finished up kingdom of ash from the throne of glass series and I’m unwell.
love this video! I related so hard when you talked about creating content loses its luster and/or sparkle when it becomes your lifeline!
Girl, I am in my early twenties, I feel I am getting older and I don't know what to do with my life still while others my age or younger already seem to have their lives together, a stable job, a family of their own and I feel like I am stuck in one place but at the same time, I am truly happy with these years of my life because it is different than everyone else but it is peaceful and clam stress free. But I feel I shouldn't just stay in one place because no one ever does stay in their comfort zone....and I dont wanna but I need to. It's hard and I completely understand you, you feel like you are meant to do something greater with your life but you are not doing it right now. Oh well, I'll see what happens because not everyone has the same pace and that's okay! I just need to remember that everytime I feel like that.
Hannah, I love that video so much! Your channel is so relatable and I love seeing you in your reading era! The Throne of Glass series is one of my all time favorite fantasy series and I cannot wait to see your opinions on that. I also recommend the Crescent City series, Powerless, Once upon a broken heart and the Shatter me series (this is more dystopian than fantasy)
Greetings from Germany
everything aside, because your feelings on content creation as a job are soooo valid, your content is my favorite thing I consume on the internet - as a real one since the temple days ILY and your videos make my life better 🤍
Hannah Elise’s videos make me smile 😊
Thank you. I needed this message. I’ve also felt stuck for months. So thank you for this wise message and reminder. ❤
about the content-related question, I love watching RUclipsrs do everyday routines without something extraordinary because I feel closer to them and that they are just people too just like me. It doesn't make me feel that I am lazy or that I don't do things so girl keep vlogging keep doing what you love and don't even think you are boring bc you are so creative and fun to watch!!!!
Just a fellow New Yorker sending some love and good vibes your way Hannah ❤You are and always will be enough.
girl, i really appreciate your transparency with your youtube journey. Thank you for sharing your journey and being real with us.
I 100% agree with the love part
I want to find someone like the old days, I think it’s possible.
I just understand you so much!! It’s like I’m ok with not having anyone but at the same time I’d like to have someone 🤞🏻
You are doing amazing so just take it slow!
for the fulfilment issue- I recommend volunteering!
I was doing my nails and the notification came up! So excited! 💜
I feel like everyone is kind of experiencing the same thing of burnout and just wanting to change overall. But experience it differently. I am 24, been in the education industry for a while. I have kind of wanted a change. But scared too. But now also seems like a good time to do it. Love watching your videos and just relating to the same thing.
Congratulations on 800K subscribers!
I get everything that you're saying, but know this... People that are watching you... care about you, your life, your thoughts, your feelings. It doesn't need to be new or fresh or exciting because it's about you and your life and we feel privileged to be a part of that and a part of your journey. And we just want you to be OK so like whatever content you put out is ok because it tells us how you are and reassures us that you are doing well ... Speaking for the group, you are important to us. We love you.❤
I watched this while blow drying my hair to avoid mold growing at night or whatever lmao everything you are saying made sense luv watching yr videos 💖
Hannah, best vlog - honestly - so fresh and real. This is why I follow you.
Hannah I love your videos because I relate so much to how you’re feeling! You are doing great and I can’t wait to see where you travel to next 💕
You got to come to Canada!,🇨🇦 😊
Don't think too much about the future and enjoy what you have now❤
Hanna ❤ Japan is waiting for you. I love love love your videos.
“Wtf did I think 25 was? “ is so real😂😂
Watched this while doing dishes instead of doing dishes in silence and when I was done your video had also just ended. I’m a real one and thank you for keeping me company 😂❤
congrats on 800k subscribers omg!! also i am once again recommending "swordcatcher" by cassandra clare, it's my favorite fantasy book right now, with well-written characters, beautiful worldbuilding, and a really intriguing plot with incredible plot twists
Yasss come to Australia pls 🇦🇺 we would love to have you visit 🤗
HANNAH! PLEASE COME TO BRAZIIIIIIIIL!!!
you're gonna love here 🩷
You’re fantastic! Absolutely love your content, your honesty and down to earth personality. ❤
Highly recommend a life purpose career coach. Mine helped me so much! Also, have you considered doing freelance marketing for indie authors? Many indie authors struggle with marketing their own books because they want to focus of the writing. Might be an awesome field to consider that would allow you a similar at home setting.
Love the vibe on this video. Congratulations on the 800k.🎉🎉🎉
I think you’d do really well in freelance brand strategy / marketing / social media management for a few local businesses where you could also shoot content for them! I also know you’d kill it in a more structured job but this could be something to try out in the meantime
Girl throne of Glasses a JOURNEY. I'm on my third re-read of the series and its just such an amazing world and cast of characters! I literally get emotional thinking about Throne of Glass and ACOTAR lol
Thank you for your honesty. I love your content- everything of yours. I feel the same about getting to know someone off dating apps. Have met my boyfriends also offline. Manifesting 🤞🏻
800k yeaaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What’s your advice on what to do with your childhood items when moving? What did you feel was necessary to keep for memories?
I’m rooting for you from Japan❤ I look forward to your visit to Japan🇯🇵💗
I was in a very inspired mood sometimes to make short form videos and I was so excited to make them but then I thought I should start my YT channel and with YT you have to be consistent no matter if you are in an "inspired mood" or not. So yes I did loose my sparkle :( and I had to take a pause to find it again
been watching every sunday for almost 4 years! we’re the same age so i feel like ive gone through life with you lol thank you for your videos
I'm so glad you love fourth wing, lol. I love fantasy so much, my favorite is the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon.
Japan is so cool! My husband and I just got to go. The train to Tokyo was confusing but so cool!
omg PLS come to Australia
Hannah, I don't think any of this sounds like complaining or being ungrateful. It makes so much sense that you would feel all of these mixed emotions!! Good luck w the job search :) some unsolicited advice, but I wonder if you would be able to find an internship to boost your resume, since you already have income from youtube? I feel like it's a really valid concern that agencies might not value youtube experience as much as they should, and a low stakes internship may help with that? No matter what, anything you do is going to be great!!
omg PLEASE come to Canada
Cute love stories still exist! I met my partner 2,5 years ago in a side job that we both did to make some extra money. He changed my world, we became palls the second we met. Now we live together and are building our own little life
Everything you said in this video is the reason you are my favorite creator🩷🩷
You are the reason I got a marketing degree! I graduate in may!! Keep going!!!!!!
Hi Hannah Happy Sunday afternoon and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing and you are amazing Supporter and I enjoy your channel
The way I'm also reading the Throne of Glass series! I'm working on Queen of Shadows rn & loving it!
You are a shining star 🌟8i love your honesty. What about becoming a travel journalist. In UK we have someone called Simon reeve who does shows for bbc. They are more about the people, places and communities he visits than about him. It might allow you to do all the things you love... May be in various fornats e. G. Video, podcast, writing... Whilst also taking spotlight off yourself and the pressures that come with this. I'm 41 and you remind me do much of myself in my 20s. I did a lot of travel and soul searching too and felt I had to have my s**t together way too young. Keep following your dreams x
I’m from Canada! Toronto more exact! I would love to show you around! ❤
