    I HATE Moving. I think you made the right move, at least for 1 more year.

      I hate it too! I’m pretty happy with our decision. I wasn’t ready to give up my windows. 🤣

    Hannah,
    What a breath of fresh air you are.
    In the incredibly pretentious, superficial, & phony world of youtubers you are such a positive witness for being authentic & transparent.
    Bless your heart.
    Thank you Hannah.

    Hannah, I am so sorry to hear about all the personal and tough times you've been experiencing in your life. Always great to open up about how you're feeling on the inside. Always feels great when you get to BE YOURSELF!! It takes a lot of courage. You have nothing to prove, only to share. Congrats on the new job. My mom (RIP) always said, this could be a great opportunity for networking and a unique direction to that next big adventure coming up as a musician.
    I've had those moments even throughout the course of the pandemic myself. When Live Theater and Film and TV stuff was shut down, I had those fears & thoughts that "I made the stupidest mistake of my life to be an actor and singer". I've even had moments of the idea of a full-time job which could take effect from doing EVERYTHING I worked so hard for. At the end of the day, it's always finding that perfect balance. All of it took me down a unique "Rabbit Hole" where it gave me the chance to expand on my craft and creativity. You are seriously an incredible musician and the most awesome saxophone coach EVER!!!! You've really helped me grow a lot in my music career within the past year. Of course, having you and everyone involved with my show. I was scared to actually do it in the first place..... It's so not easy to talk about those "Dark" experiences. But with reflecting on those times, it truly became this medicine and gratefulness. At the same time, you, the whole band, and my amazing team..... I couldn't have done it without all your support and your smiles. I seriously can't wait to do this show again with you coming up..... GET READY!! You're welcome to play for any show with me anytime. I love making music with you and I'm still here. Thank you for making me into becoming a Quadruple Threat!!!! So ready for more. A true ALL STAR!!!!
    YAAAAAAAAAY!!! So amazing you get to stay in that amazing apartment of yours. Seriously, you, Ross, and Rory feel right at home in that current space you got. It's amazing. Can't believe it's been a year. Also, less pressure for Rory especially..... I know Rory was really overwhelmed and scared during that transition from the first apartment to your current home. She seems to love it as well. So excited about continuing to follow this TERRIFIC TRIO.... especially when you and Ross start preparing for your big wedding.
    And of course as Sierra Boggess says YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOU ARE SO ENOUGH, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW ENOUGH YOU ARE!!
    This video just made me cry!!!! Speechless. Motivated and inspired. You are incredible Hannah!!!

    From another brooklynite, congrats on the new job and for being able to stay in your current apartment. I'm glad you are sticking with your passion for music. I think you're blessed to have found something you are deeply interested in at a young age because not everyone will find their passion or it can take many years of discovery to do so. A 9 to 5 job is nothing to be ashamed of. Think of it as a stepping stone towards what you want to do or be in the future. We can't reach that goal if we can't afford to pay our bills, right? The peace of mind you get from having a steady income with benefits is a great tool for future planning, and on top of that, you get to do it right in the comfort of your home.
    PS: I was surprised to see you on ActionKid's channel after finding out about your channel from your Brooklyn Heights tour video. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your future videos.

    • @therealhannahlee
      @therealhannahlee  2 года назад +3

      This is such a kind comment! Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'm super grateful and excited about my new job, especially since it's still in the music industry. 🙂
      ActionKid is the coolest! I always love hearing how people found my channel, thanks for sharing!

    Congratulations on the new Gig. Thank you for being honest. I totally understand what you've been going through. I'm a musician and took a Quality control job $$$$. I was literally told by my boss "you're not a scientist, you're just a Rockin Roller " at 1st I got offended by the time I got to my office I felt complimented.. 😀👍

    Congratulations Hannah. Getting a full time job isn’t the easiest thing in the world.
    I’m glad you are still involved with teaching and playing the clarinet.
    I played the clarinet. Even as an amateur it was a great experience playing in amateur musical organizations.
    Keep practicing!

    • @therealhannahlee

    The quality of your videos is quite good I thought you were probably one of those youtubers with 50k subscribers or more. I was surprised to see that you dont have that yet. But you seem very consistent I'm sure it will happen very soon!👏👏

    Hannah, I’m so happy that things are turning around for you. One thing I admired is your sense of accountability. I wish more people were like that. That is the key to your success and to future successes. I really enjoyed this video and I think it would be helpful to other people to watch it because it’s so honest and inspiring. Glad you’re staying in your apartment too.

    Hi Hannah - Always nice to not have to move ! 🙂 - When I was young , I worked in marketing for Arista Records & worked with Patti Smith , The Church , Thompson Twins & others - I loved the job. You fail more often then you succeed ( back then ) but when you did succeed it was so invigorating ! Have a Great Night 🌙

    Hannah, I’m so surprised that you weren’t thinking about leaving New York! Before I kinda felt genius. But I’m happy to hear this.

And I know you’re the nicest person I met, you shine up the daylight. I Always support you from my heart. By the way congrats on your new job and staying back in your old apartment! Sounds Excellent… you need relaxation this Summer. Best wishes for you, you’re fiancé Ross & Rory a blessing night.

    Hi Hannah, first I want to say congrats on being able to land a secure job given the current climate we’re in…Though this video may be 9 months old, it couldn’t come at a better time. I’m soo glad you shared your experiences. I am going through the EXACT same thing. I’m emotionally exhausted and I’ve been unemployed since the start of the pandemic TRYING to get back into the workforce for the last 10 months. *sigh* I’m so stressed…all I want is a JOB so I can get some much needed relief!! Also, you’re in the city I’ve been trying to get to since just before the pandemic! I believe being there would help me a lot w/getting job opportunities.

    • @therealhannahlee
      @therealhannahlee  Год назад

    Congratulations to you and your fiance on staying in your apartment.
    That is good you got a steady job.
    It happened to me last year I liked a place near Gerritsen Beach. Unfortunately the owner was "Delaying" and "playing Games" . I was waiting for an interview from the Coop Board and it never happened.
    I still live in the same place in Sheepshead Bay.

    Please don't work too hard. 😇"Workin' 9 to 5,
    What a way to make a livin'
    Barely gettin' by
    It's all takin' and no givin'
    They just use your mind
    And they never give you credit
    It's enough to drive you crazy

    I just stumbled upon this video & so glad I watched. Recently, I began teaching piano & voice again & am debating on adding Flute as well. (Woodwinds rock!) I felt every word you said re: musicians & feeling like a failure. I go back & forth with it - ugh. Anyway, congratulations on the new job! Thank you for sharing those details as it made me feel less alone in this crazy rent world. Keep the music going!

    • @therealhannahlee
      @therealhannahlee  2 года назад +4

      Hi! So glad this helped you. It can be tough, but try to remember that you are always going to be a musician no matter what else you make money from, and no one can take that away from you. 😊

    Hi Hannah 🌸 Thomas Edison was asked , " How were you able to develop the light bulb since you failed at over 90 experiments to develop it? Most people would have quit after so much failure...( Edison replied) " I never failed at anything in my life because I learned that there were 90 ways a light bulb would not work !" Hannah, you haven't failed at anything because you learned what's going to work and not work and you made the necessary adjustments! 🥀🌷
