Hey Ava, I think that a "Making My Apartment Feel Like Home" video would be a great idea, like finding tips and tricks to make your space comfortable! This could be lighting candles to add scent/warmth, cooking a homemade meal (family recipe), inviting people over, etc!
yes you CAN. So proud of you for answering these questions and transitioning with such a positive and realistic attitude. I swear everyone needs to live alone at some point because you learn SO much even from the smallest hurdles you have to cross each day!
I am the youngest and finally moving out and my parents have made me feel so bad, but sometimes we have to do what’s right for us in order to experience and learn new things as we grow older. It’s not like all of my siblings are gone either lol they still have the middle child and from what I know she’s not moving out any time soon!
Omg I could never relate to something so much “I have to keep myself alive” literally when I first moved out it was sooo hard to feed myself but now I’m a 5 star chef and I’m living 💅🏾
I love your honesty and transparency. It can be scary making this big change but I think it’s apart of growing up. There’s ups and downs in all changes in life, you’ve got this girl ☺️💜💜
I loved this video, Ava! I'm 20 years old, a nursing student in college, and I still live at home with my family! My plan is to move out when I graduate. It's inspiring to see you move out and start "adulting" in that sense because you're stepping into a new chapter of your life! Thank you!!
Been living alone for a couple years now. Loneliness comes in waves for sure. I’m a pretty independent person, but sometimes it’s hard coming home to an empty house (especially after a hard day). That being said, I’ve grown so much and learned a lot about myself! Have fun & enjoy this time!
after living at home for 22 years, i'm moving out this month because i'm getting married! i feel like i'm on this moving journey with you, so just know you aren't alone! 💘💖💗💓💞
I am currently struggling with loneliness. I had to go back in person for college which meant moving 4 hours away. I have been going to bed crying and waking up crying. I am trying everything I can to get over this especially because I have already been through this my first year. I’m about to graduate in June which is why I’m so embarrassed for feeling like this. But after 2 years being home to a sudden shift to being alone at school is really difficult. Thank you for this video. I love watching and hearing you in the background which helps with the loneliness.
I never reply to comments usually, but I really connected with this one! I also am graduating college in June and moving back to school has been so hard this year. I always miss my family and my boyfriend (who still lives at home) and feel very lonely. I’ve been experiencing anxiety for the first time ever and it’s just really hard. I just keep reminding myself that June will be here sooner than I know it and that I can get through it!
I moved to a different country for a semester abroad and even though I feel comfortable here the thought of not seeing my family, friends, home until July is very scary. It feels like such a long time :(
Hey! Did you find that the loneliness eventually went away and you got used to it? I’m just wondering if you eventually get used to it or if it’s something that will always be there
This made me wanna live alone again, i feel/felt the SAME EXACT THINGS when i moved out on my own. everyone thought i was crazy for wanting to live alone
I also moved out on my own. It can be lonely at times but I have grown so much in the past year. You learn so much about yourself. Congrats on the life accomplishment! Love your videos as usual! ❤️
OMG I recognize myself so much in the first question, I lived alone for a few weeks in the summer at home and it's horrible to have no one in the morning or in the evening, it's really a difficult solitude for the morale. It pierces the soul.
i also just recently moved out by myself and it’s definitely hard and lonely. and i especially relate to having to control my impulse shopping lol! overall you got this girl and congrats on this big life accomplishment 🤍🍋
As a 22-year-old that moved out at 18 and moved into a tiny house it is definitely a huge adjustment to life and adapting to being on your own but being on your own honestly it is one of the best feelings. So proud of you Ava
Thank you so much for being honest about cost, so many influencers don’t talk about it and I think it’s important so that others don’t try to keep up with a lifestyle that might not be ready for. But I am so happy for you Ava!! To be so blessed to live in Oahu is amazing and I hope you live your best life 🤍
I’m kinda late but thank you for this. I feel like I’m on the right path right now. My whole mindset these past few years now has rapidly shifted since 15 and I'm also going to turn 18 next year so, I think that explains these changes in my life. Hoping for the best for all of us!!
I started living alone this year at 17 and it's been a pretty amazing experience. Learning to enjoy your own company is so difficult but also fulfilling and although I have definitely felt lonely at times, I wouldn't change it for anything! Can't wait to watch more apartment vlogs! 💗💗
I moved countries 5 months ago, aged 20, to study for a months, and I‘m moving back home in a month. It‘s insane how much I learned from being on my own, being so far away from my family and never quite settling down. Before I left I never considered moving out so soon, but having made this experience now makes me want to move out and live in some apartment all by myself as soon as I can afford it myself - and I get your point about roommates 100%, I moved in with people not knowing them and it was the worst thing about my 6 months stay, since I ended up moving in with the most terrible people, literally the worst people I ever met haha. The only person I’d move in with right away would be my younger sister, not even my other siblings or my best friend, let’s see how it’ll be one day I have partner and at some point decide to move in with them. Also the point of missing home- I am still getting used to missing home so very much but enjoying life far away at the same time. It’s a strange feeling to have two homes, even though I call my home my home and here, right now, the new country is my home, not the city or apartment I’m living in. Love your moving out series, I only got to know you through them!
That’s so cool that you’re studying abroad! I’m planning on doing the same next year and I’m kinda worried about it haha. Beside your living situation would you say your experience was good?
I absolutely love that you keep us informed in your life! As a high school junior, I definitely feel like seeing this process in a more realistic way calms me down for when I leave. Also, do u have any podcast recommendations?? Love from Colombia!🇨🇴❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Thank you for bringing up the sad parts of moving out, no one talks about it and it is sad a chapter is closing but also exciting a new one is beginning! 🍋
Thank you!! school don't teach you anything about life and how to manage it. I'll never stop complaining about this even if I finished school 2 years ago! Anyway thank you for the video, you're such an inspiration!! Killing it :)
I’ve been loving these videos because it gives me an idea since I plan to move out after I graduate college. Thank you Ava for providing your experience 💛
hello! i have begun the process of moving out and having someone my age. in the same stage of life as me who's also figuring it out has been very helpful and comforting. i started watching you when i made my first internet friends because i was looking for vlogs of people meeting their internet friends for the first time. it's been so nice to have someone understand what I'm going through through life. thank you ava!
Even though I’m older than you, you are one of my biggest role models! The way you live your life is just so inspiring. While keeping your life aesthetic and pretty, you never shy away from talking about important things and that is what I love about your videos and strive to have in my content as well. Just living through your videos and manifesting my move out as well!! ❤️✨✨ 🍋🍋🍋
AVAAA i know you were planning on getting art for this corner to film but I am loving the minimalistic video. It's so easy and calming/ theraputic to watch. I would love it if you kept it like that. Obviously I am just one person but do a poll maybe? I LOVE IT
Keep in mind, Ava is really lucky to get most of her furniture and decorations in a short amount of time. It’s not going to be this easy unless you have money. You may have your apartment fully furnished in a year or even more. You may be sleeping on a mattress for months. Furniture and kitchen supplies, etc, are very expensive.
Ava, I know how you feel about moving in with someone!! I also like my independence and it’s nice to hear that from someone who is in a long term relationship. You can love your partner and spend time with him while also having this time and space for yourself while you’re living alone.
I'm so glad you touched on this because i move out for the first time a few months ago and my god is grocery shopping difficult. firstly you have to force yourself to actually go and get the groceries (it's so expensive and for what) and then you go home tired and now you have to USE those groceries to make a meal to keep yourself alive. so glad it's not just me
I liked hearing you talk about why you didn’t decide to move to New York when especially now so it’s a bit of a new trend amongst influencers to move there
I’m so excited to move out!! I’m 20 and will be moving out this summer so I’ve been in love with all of your content lately! Keep it up girl you’re killin it ☺️🍋🍋
I found your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. You’re beautiful; cute, funny, fun, radiate positive energy and I love it, new subscriber btw💙💙💙!
🍋🍋🍋 thanks for showing the other side of moving out, its always glamorized but it seems so stressful and complicated. i myself have been trying to learn some easy meals to feed myself, and i think this one might be of some help to you! (if you like fish) when u go grocery shopping, try and find a bag of frozen tilapia, and some frozen broccoli (my live savior). u can thaw out the tilapia by putting it in a bold of cold/lukewarm water and letting it sit for like thirty minutes. during this time u can make some rice (i do 1 1/4 water for every cup of rice roughly) once the tilapia is thawed you can drizzle oil on it and season it (i use oldbay, cilantro, and adobo OR just salt, red cayenne pepper, paprika, and a sprinkle of curry powder) either put it on a pan over the stove or a tray in the oven. if its on the pan it should only take a few minutes to cook, if in the oven just leave it for like 25-35 minutes on 350. once its done cooking just let it rest and cool. now u can take a handful of the frozen broccoli, microwave it for a few minutes in 2 min intervals until its nice and soft. i put some butter with it so it melts, or just do salt or a splash of italian vinaigrette. and there u go! u can cut up some lemon and squeeze it over the fish to really bring out the flavors. its really simple and easy to get the hang of, and i feel great after eating it. simple recipes like this have really been a blessing, and i hope this may help u too! love u ava💓
I experienced this when I moved out and the only advice I have is time. My home is now my favourite place but it took a couple months to get used to being without my family.
you answered my question :)) (are you comfortable with silence) I’m sure other people asked this, too!! but i wanted to ask you because you’ve said multiple times that you’re comfortable with yourself (and that’s something I’ve been working on) but the idea of “being comfortable with myself” in my head = being absolutely comfortable with silence. i really appreciate your answer that you are only comfortable with it sometimes!! bc me too and idk that helped clarify this absolute myth i made up in my head about being alone. so thank you!!
I still feel lonely and get a lot of free time sitting in my apartment alone and thinking"what am I doing here alone". Such a comfort to know there's people feeling the same way. thank you for the video!!
I’m 20 years old, turning 21 in June and I have felt so embarrassed and self conscious living at home with my parents but Ava has helped me so much with realizing that there is no shame in waiting. She really showed us that it’s okay not to be ready to move out as soon as you hit adulthood. I feel so much comfort now that I know i’m not the only one who struggles with this ❤️🍋
Hey! Um, I just got to your channel because of your moving videos, and usually, I don't like videos where people are just talking and answering questions and things like that, but I just loved listening to you talk. I love your voice, it's so easy to listen to. 🍋🍋🍋
Cannot recommend moving out enough! I was blessed to be able to stay at home through college, and then getting my own place (albeit with a roommate) was so so good for my growth as a person and learning responsibility. It can be scary but most things in life that worth doing are a little scary at first. I'm 30 and married now, and I'm so grateful for those years I lived out of my parents' house because it prepared me for taking care of my own home :)
as i’m watching all your moving videos i’m really wishing that when i move out i’ll remember to watch your videos again because i know they’ll be so comforting :) 🍋
🍋Pro tip for cooking: look into mason jar meals. They are SO easy and just takes like 1 hour of meal prep to make like 5-10 meals. Some yummy ones are over night oats and jar salads. Lmk if you need other suggestions!
please please please do a video on your advice on renting for the first time- like a guide to renting/ things yuo wish you knew about renting, deposit, bills etc
you are such an inspiration Ava! My roommate moved out a couple weeks ago and I’ve been living alone (in a sense) so it was really nice to hear your experience and advice and find some comfort in the fact that I’m not the only one who struggles with it. keep being your amazing self - I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!! 🍋🍋💜💜
Moving out next fall and your series is sooo helpful! It feels good to hear you talk about your experience and it is especially comforting that you do it in such an authentic way. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it’s truly inspiring ✨🌺🍋
from living on my own i’ve learned a little hack to save money, I always use to cook for so many people so I kind of forgot i’m only feeding me now. so buy the bigger packs of chicken/ meat etc. and freeze them in feeezer bags so that you’re not constantly buying meats to cook! same with veggies/fruits. so much easier for when you thaw it out you don’t have to worry about food going bad
this validated so much of my own experience in my new season of life. i have a partner but i don’t want to live with him and i tried to normalize it myself but hearing someone else normalize it out loud made me feel better about my choice. thank you Ava ❤️ so proud of you and happy for your new home!!!
i love this style of videos! i relate so much with u ava, i’m going to move out of my home for the first time also in the fall for college and i’m a nervous wreck. but watching ur videos really have in-sealed more confidence in myself and seeing u do it on ur own is inspiring especially since we around the same age! i send nothing but good videos towards u and this new chapter in your life❤️❤️❤️
Killing it! When I moved out 3 years ago 850 miles away from everyone I knew and loved it was WILD. I lost my job after only a month of living on my own and supporting myself. It was a JOURNEY but its crazy to look back and be like damn I got through all that on my own!
I felt it when I moved it out on my own in 2019 it was scary at first because I lived with younger siblings so everything is there at your nest and living with your parents makes things easier on you. When I left for the first couple of days it didn’t feel easy at all, but throughout it taught me to just appreciate yourself and grow, thanks for sharing your experience Ava. Have a great day day ❤️☺️
Youre learning so much! Later you'll look back on this time as being one of the best times of your life. Enjoy the small moments of the transition, and appreciate all the "life lessons" . You're doing great! And dont be afraid to ask friends and family for support when you ned t
your moving videos have been so amazing, and make me so excited to move to an apartment when i am older. hope you have been enjoying living alone, and i love how you have been discussing the negative's of moving of living alone as well as the positives :)
I loved this video! It showed me that it's okay to wait until you're ready to move out which is very comforting. I hope you make long videos in the future! 🍋
I really love this video. I've been thinking a lot about having my own place after I graduated. And I can really connect with you when you say you just feel ready to move out for the good reason. I feel the same way like I want to grow and experience the next phase in life. 🍋🍋🍋
Could you do a video about the finance portion and how you budget? I think financial literacy is huge (totally not taught in many states and not mandated to be taught) and with your following you could inspire and educate so many people! Great job living on your own it’s a huge step!
Just wanna say I just came back to UH for spring semester from the east coast and your living alone videos really help me to adjust to being so far from home ❤️
We love you Ava!!! I moved out 5 months ago and it was definitely so hard!! Not only did I move into a new place but I love across the country! So I totally understand all of this!! 🤎🤍
There are curtain rods on Amazon/Target/Walmart that you can put on yourself without drilling holes. They’re usually for renters and you extend the poles from the inside of the window to the other side of the window. Very easy to do and very easy to take down once your landlord gets the curtain thing in order. 👍🏽
Nobody ever says how difficult it will be and how different it will be to live alone, that’s why I’m so happy that I live on dorms and away from my family for when the time where I actually move out for good comes.
Roommates are hard if you like your personal/quiet space. I am 31 and I had 2 roommates and they never bothered me but still it gave me such anxiety when using common spaces. I moved back in with my mom since I can't afford to live alone because I hate having roommates so much. Also from someone who did it, moving in with a boyfriend right away is very hard and scary. I found myself in an abusive relationship with no escape for a long time. I think being alone and learning who you really are is so important! I hope to one day be able to afford to do so. :)
Hi Ava! Every person I know usually goes through some type of depression after moving. A lot changes fast and it takes a while to process. Be kind and patient with yourself. All of these feelings are perfectly normal. 💕
You are so inspiring!! I am proud of you! Anf thank you for being real and showing the reality and thr hardness of moving out and not just the pink cloud. ❤️❤️ 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
Ahh I love this so much Ava, I’m 22 and moved out of my childhood home in 2021 to an apartment by myself. I’m still close to home and your story resonates with me so much!! It’s so good to feel so independent, I love being able to hear you talk about your experience!! Thank you always for sharing!! 🧡
Hello Ava! 🥰 I‘ve been watching your videos for so long now 🥺 and you’re so right, it is so much harder to move out especially from your parents house, that part made me a little emotional, because I was going through that last year! Lots of love and greetings from Germany 💓🇩🇪
My first video I ever watch of yours was your throwback playlist in 2017! to watch and see you grow as a person especially at the same age is amazing. So proud of you! 🍋🍋
loved this, i moved out for college but with roommates soon I will be moving alone!! you should make a video about how much you spend in a week living alone or like a how much it costs to live alone in Hawai’i!! i feel like it would be very helpful and educational for people interested in going to school there or moving there!! love your content!!
Loved this! Can you do a q&a-type video on being a youtuber/working from home/influencer/independently working? Im super interested in the whole process since Im about to start my own channel. Like for example your routines/how you organize your videos/posts/plans, other things viewers normally dont think about/realise... Everything:)
Hey Ava, I think that a "Making My Apartment Feel Like Home" video would be a great idea, like finding tips and tricks to make your space comfortable! This could be lighting candles to add scent/warmth, cooking a homemade meal (family recipe), inviting people over, etc!
this seems like such a great idea ;)
yes you CAN. So proud of you for answering these questions and transitioning with such a positive and realistic attitude. I swear everyone needs to live alone at some point because you learn SO much even from the smallest hurdles you have to cross each day!
OMG hi Kiara! How funny running into you here! I love that you watch Ava too
No one talks about how hard it is leaving home as the last child. I felt so guilty leaving my parents behind!
Girl same!!
Just read a comment with almost the exact same wording hahah
I am the youngest and finally moving out and my parents have made me feel so bad, but sometimes we have to do what’s right for us in order to experience and learn new things as we grow older. It’s not like all of my siblings are gone either lol they still have the middle child and from what I know she’s not moving out any time soon!
🍋🍋🍋🍋
Make a video about it so you can start the conversation
Omg I could never relate to something so much “I have to keep myself alive” literally when I first moved out it was sooo hard to feed myself but now I’m a 5 star chef and I’m living 💅🏾
I love your honesty and transparency. It can be scary making this big change but I think it’s apart of growing up. There’s ups and downs in all changes in life, you’ve got this girl ☺️💜💜

I really love this corner! The chair, the lamp! maybe in the future a plant or maybe a poster. The ambiance is so calm
Thank you so much for being honest about cost, so many influencers don’t talk about it and I think it’s important so that others don’t try to keep up with a lifestyle that might not be ready for. But I am so happy for you Ava!! To be so blessed to live in Oahu is amazing and I hope you live your best life 🤍
So proud of you for living alone. Everyone should do it at least once in their life if they’re able to.

U can get tension rods for now, to put the curtains. It should even tho it’s long horizontally. ☺️

When I first moved out to paris alone it was so scary but once I found a routine and a community I was the happiest I’ve ever been
100% agree. I felt the same when I moved to Spain
Ava!!! i’m so happy u posted today… i’m so tired but u just gave me a bunch of energy thank you 💌🍋🍋🍋

I love having you make these videos bc I’m living alone at the same time u moved out and it’s cool to relate to someone.
A whole condo two bedrooms and two baths w a loft so far not bad and I lock all the doors and my bedroom door cause a girl is scared
So proud of you Ava!!🍋 These vlogs are the only thing getting me through.
Ava, I know how you feel about moving in with someone!! I also like my independence and it’s nice to hear that from someone who is in a long term relationship. You can love your partner and spend time with him while also having this time and space for yourself while you’re living alone.
i’ve been here for a few years now and seeing your growth has been so inspiring. i love these videos; i look forward to them always!

I found your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. You’re beautiful; cute, funny, fun, radiate positive energy and I love it, new subscriber btw💙💙💙!
Same with background noise😅 but I also like silence too.
I'm glad you're sharing this part of your journey. I just love your personality 🥺.🌼
The moving vlogs are so good
Ikr I love them
🍋🍋🍋 thanks for showing the other side of moving out, its always glamorized but it seems so stressful and complicated.
i myself have been trying to learn some easy meals to feed myself, and i think this one might be of some help to you! (if you like fish)
when u go grocery shopping, try and find a bag of frozen tilapia, and some frozen broccoli (my live savior). u can thaw out the tilapia by putting it in a bold of cold/lukewarm water and letting it sit for like thirty minutes. during this time u can make some rice (i do 1 1/4 water for every cup of rice roughly) once the tilapia is thawed you can drizzle oil on it and season it (i use oldbay, cilantro, and adobo OR just salt, red cayenne pepper, paprika, and a sprinkle of curry powder) either put it on a pan over the stove or a tray in the oven. if its on the pan it should only take a few minutes to cook, if in the oven just leave it for like 25-35 minutes on 350. once its done cooking just let it rest and cool. now u can take a handful of the frozen broccoli, microwave it for a few minutes in 2 min intervals until its nice and soft. i put some butter with it so it melts, or just do salt or a splash of italian vinaigrette. and there u go! u can cut up some lemon and squeeze it over the fish to really bring out the flavors. its really simple and easy to get the hang of, and i feel great after eating it. simple recipes like this have really been a blessing, and i hope this may help u too! love u ava💓
heck yes.
omg yes! i love talking and sitting down videos. i live on my own and i love just putting these on in the background 🍋
I experienced this when I moved out and the only advice I have is time. My home is now my favourite place but it took a couple months to get used to being without my family.
you answered my question :)) (are you comfortable with silence) I’m sure other people asked this, too!! but i wanted to ask you because you’ve said multiple times that you’re comfortable with yourself (and that’s something I’ve been working on) but the idea of “being comfortable with myself” in my head = being absolutely comfortable with silence. i really appreciate your answer that you are only comfortable with it sometimes!! bc me too and idk that helped clarify this absolute myth i made up in my head about being alone. so thank you!!
I’ve been saving up to buy a house for so long, but the Toronto housing market is such a mess😩 this advice talk was so useful for the future though.!!
ava, ur literally my comfort person. thank you for existing
I still feel lonely and get a lot of free time sitting in my apartment alone and thinking"what am I doing here alone". Such a comfort to know there's people feeling the same way. thank you for the video!!
I’m 20 years old, turning 21 in June and I have felt so embarrassed and self conscious living at home with my parents but Ava has helped me so much with realizing that there is no shame in waiting. She really showed us that it’s okay not to be ready to move out as soon as you hit adulthood. I feel so much comfort now that I know i’m not the only one who struggles with this ❤️🍋
Hey! Um, I just got to your channel because of your moving videos, and usually, I don't like videos where people are just talking and answering questions and things like that, but I just loved listening to you talk. I love your voice, it's so easy to listen to. 🍋🍋🍋
omg ava please start a podcast i LOVED putting this video on in the background as i got ready for the day today!! would so listen to a podcast
Cannot recommend moving out enough! I was blessed to be able to stay at home through college, and then getting my own place (albeit with a roommate) was so so good for my growth as a person and learning responsibility. It can be scary but most things in life that worth doing are a little scary at first. I'm 30 and married now, and I'm so grateful for those years I lived out of my parents' house because it prepared me for taking care of my own home :)
awesome!! hope ur doing well
as i’m watching all your moving videos i’m really wishing that when i move out i’ll remember to watch your videos again because i know they’ll be so comforting :) 🍋
🍋Pro tip for cooking: look into mason jar meals. They are SO easy and just takes like 1 hour of meal prep to make like 5-10 meals. Some yummy ones are over night oats and jar salads. Lmk if you need other suggestions!
i think i'm moving out this fall and i'm so grateful for these videos
please please please do a video on your advice on renting for the first time- like a guide to renting/ things yuo wish you knew about renting, deposit, bills etc
you are such an inspiration Ava! My roommate moved out a couple weeks ago and I’ve been living alone (in a sense) so it was really nice to hear your experience and advice and find some comfort in the fact that I’m not the only one who struggles with it. keep being your amazing self - I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!! 🍋🍋💜💜
Moving out next fall and your series is sooo helpful! It feels good to hear you talk about your experience and it is especially comforting that you do it in such an authentic way. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it’s truly inspiring ✨🌺🍋
Omg amazing race night, I’m in college so I can’t watch with my mom but I’ve been trying to follow the season
from living on my own i’ve learned a little hack to save money, I always use to cook for so many people so I kind of forgot i’m only feeding me now. so buy the bigger packs of chicken/ meat etc. and freeze them in feeezer bags so that you’re not constantly buying meats to cook! same with veggies/fruits. so much easier for when you thaw it out you don’t have to worry about food going bad
18:00 the fact that this is my main question i have in mind for ppl that live alone PLS
this validated so much of my own experience in my new season of life. i have a partner but i don’t want to live with him and i tried to normalize it myself but hearing someone else normalize it out loud made me feel better about my choice. thank you Ava ❤️ so proud of you and happy for your new home!!!
i love this style of videos! i relate so much with u ava, i’m going to move out of my home for the first time also in the fall for college and i’m a nervous wreck. but watching ur videos really have in-sealed more confidence in myself and seeing u do it on ur own is inspiring especially since we around the same age! i send nothing but good videos towards u and this new chapter in your life❤️❤️❤️
Killing it! When I moved out 3 years ago 850 miles away from everyone I knew and loved it was WILD. I lost my job after only a month of living on my own and supporting myself. It was a JOURNEY but its crazy to look back and be like damn I got through all that on my own!
omg its literally been a month since I officially live alone, this video-. Thank you. genuinely, thank you. I feel the exact same
I love how transparent u are, thank u for providing you're experience
I felt it when I moved it out on my own in 2019 it was scary at first because I lived with younger siblings so everything is there at your nest and living with your parents makes things easier on you. When I left for the first couple of days it didn’t feel easy at all, but throughout it taught me to just appreciate yourself and grow, thanks for sharing your experience Ava. Have a great day day ❤️☺️
honestly, you're such an inspiration and so down to earth that i really aspire to have that kind of mindset when i have to move out
The way is the Hawaii is so funny & adorable, I love it!❤️💕💕
Youre learning so much! Later you'll look back on this time as being one of the best times of your life. Enjoy the small moments of the transition, and appreciate all the "life lessons" . You're doing great! And dont be afraid to ask friends and family for support when you ned t
your moving videos have been so amazing, and make me so excited to move to an apartment when i am older. hope you have been enjoying living alone, and i love how you have been discussing the negative's of moving of living alone as well as the positives :)
queen is really glowing in this video, LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS we love you 🍋
I loved this video! It showed me that it's okay to wait until you're ready to move out which is very comforting. I hope you make long videos in the future! 🍋
I really love this video. I've been thinking a lot about having my own place after I graduated. And I can really connect with you when you say you just feel ready to move out for the good reason. I feel the same way like I want to grow and experience the next phase in life. 🍋🍋🍋
Could you do a video about the finance portion and how you budget? I think financial literacy is huge (totally not taught in many states and not mandated to be taught) and with your following you could inspire and educate so many people! Great job living on your own it’s a huge step!
Just wanna say I just came back to UH for spring semester from the east coast and your living alone videos really help me to adjust to being so far from home ❤️
You are my comfort RUclipsr! You give off such positive vibes & I love that you’re so real with everything. 🤍🍋
We love you Ava!!! I moved out 5 months ago and it was definitely so hard!! Not only did I move into a new place but I love across the country! So I totally understand all of this!! 🤎🤍
you were so vulnerable in this video and I love it so much. It feels like your everyone's internet sister and I appreciate you!!!
You should definitely redo this video in one year because I've lived on my own for five months and my thoughts really changed over the months
There are curtain rods on Amazon/Target/Walmart that you can put on yourself without drilling holes. They’re usually for renters and you extend the poles from the inside of the window to the other side of the window. Very easy to do and very easy to take down once your landlord gets the curtain thing in order. 👍🏽
I absolutely love your interior decor style, it looks so cozy and comforting! Love your videos, they always brighten my day❤️🍋
Nobody ever says how difficult it will be and how different it will be to live alone, that’s why I’m so happy that I live on dorms and away from my family for when the time where I actually move out for good comes.
Roommates are hard if you like your personal/quiet space. I am 31 and I had 2 roommates and they never bothered me but still it gave me such anxiety when using common spaces. I moved back in with my mom since I can't afford to live alone because I hate having roommates so much. Also from someone who did it, moving in with a boyfriend right away is very hard and scary. I found myself in an abusive relationship with no escape for a long time. I think being alone and learning who you really are is so important! I hope to one day be able to afford to do so. :)
Hi Ava! Every person I know usually goes through some type of depression after moving. A lot changes fast and it takes a while to process. Be kind and patient with yourself. All of these feelings are perfectly normal. 💕
I could literally hear you talk about everything and nothing for hours!
You are so inspiring!! I am proud of you! Anf thank you for being real and showing the reality and thr hardness of moving out and not just the pink cloud. ❤️❤️ 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
I just finished watching your old high school vlogs and I did not notice how adult you already are Ava!! independent bad b
I just found your videos at the beginning of the move and I’m obsessed! You seem so genuine and I look forward to every Sunday and Wednesday!🍋
thank you for being my comfort youtuber at this time Ava
Ava please start a podcast one day! These sit down videos are so relaxing:)
Ahh I love this so much Ava, I’m 22 and moved out of my childhood home in 2021 to an apartment by myself. I’m still close to home and your story resonates with me so much!! It’s so good to feel so independent, I love being able to hear you talk about your experience!! Thank you always for sharing!! 🧡
Hello Ava! 🥰 I‘ve been watching your videos for so long now 🥺 and you’re so right, it is so much harder to move out especially from your parents house, that part made me a little emotional, because I was going through that last year! Lots of love and greetings from Germany 💓🇩🇪
My first video I ever watch of yours was your throwback playlist in 2017! to watch and see you grow as a person especially at the same age is amazing. So proud of you! 🍋🍋
You Have got this girlllllll been here for the past ups and downs and we be here for the new one sending love ur wayy
loved this, i moved out for college but with roommates soon I will be moving alone!!
you should make a video about how much you spend in a week living alone or like a how much it costs to live alone in Hawai’i!! i feel like it would be very helpful and educational for people interested in going to school there or moving there!! love your content!!
Loved this! Can you do a q&a-type video on being a youtuber/working from home/influencer/independently working? Im super interested in the whole process since Im about to start my own channel. Like for example your routines/how you organize your videos/posts/plans, other things viewers normally dont think about/realise... Everything:)
Loved your "week in the life of an influencer"-video that you made a while ago. It showed us sides to this career that viewers dont think about
