I do not know why your comment made me Laugh so Hard! It is Very Funny to visualize this taking place in the Dark & others being afraid of the Unknown, "THE TINY-PETITE-LITTLE-SPAGHETTI-EATER!"
As a fellow female introvert, I can completely empathize with needing to get away from people. Even when you’re not directly interacting with them they’re still draining.
I’m an old senior (76) female who has been married twice and has had numerous relationships,,,,,,,,,and you know what I find to be best for me ( after all this time)..."being alone to make my own decisions ( right or wrong),,coming and going "when I choose",,eating when "I WANT TO",,watch "what I WANT TO WATCH on tv,,go to bed and get up on MY TIME SLOT....Just a very FEW examples of why I choose to live alone....I never feel lonely! Earlier in my life I truly felt I needed the find "my other half,",and then only to find out I am complete within myself and living life the way I choose...You are young and finding out (early) where you feel the most content in life...Maybe some day you will find someone who feels and want in life what you do and that would be special....Just wanted to add my 2 cents...you stay safe 💕💕💕
Hi! At almost 58 after 40 years of marriage and divorce....I feel the same way you do! Alone can be great and very peaceful! I am just scared about my finances! I hope I will be alright! Peace everyone!🌺🙏💪✌️❤️😘
No are not a old senior, but I like your philosophy about not having to answer to anyone. I worked overseas for 35 years I worked with cruise ships for 26 years.now. I left 2018 due company changes. I have been traveling for 35 years. Yes independence is so much better not that do not love that person but money is so weird.. Exactly about lonely issue. I find I never have enough time for projects but am working on it. Lorrie
Agree. I never want to find my other half, because I am a whole person, made from maybe 2 half. I was unable to compromize, I like my own decision. I am a loner, society /work/ forced me to make decisions which were not my own to hold a job /4-5 years and then I had to find new challanges and had to move as well/. I am 54 now and I think I arrived. I still live alone, but preparing to move out from the town to somewhere near to the ocean, have a dog and I will be absolutely fine then.
Totally up to Miss Hannah and how she chooses to spend her time, but I for one support this message. Lol. Seriously, I’d be tickled half to death with *simply* a list of all the songs in One easy to find place. A bit of a greedy opinion I suppose, tho it suddenly occurs to me just how much time and effort I spend trying to find the songs, then going to another media platform to look each one up, then stick it in a Playlist I have aptly (and lovingly) dubbed “Hannah’s Songs”. It would make my own life easier, is all’s I’m sayin. 😆 Love you Hannah!
I respect your transparency! My 17 yr old son loves to be alone too. For a long time I was worried & would talk to him about it,and he said he’s happiest alone with his cats. He has 2. He also really wants to get a van & figure out how to travel like this when he graduates. I guess I said all that to say thank you. I’m not so worried about him now. Happy trails!
Same. I moved to a new place and then cobid hit. It was really hard relying on my boyfriend for all the social relationships I yearned for. Thank goodness for technology but its not the same.
I feel the same.. moved here and the covid hit so didnt have time to explore and make friends. Broke up with my boyfriend in August and it has been so much harder since. Still struggling with loneliness and not quite sure what to do. I agree that sharing other peoples lives online helps a little
Try going damn near 41 years without any real friends...I mean i had a few up until 3rd grade, but that's whwere I went into a shell. I never felt comfortable...so yeah...lately it's videos.
Looks can be very deceiving. I’m super antisocial. Any more than three, I’m stressed. That’s why I love my motorhome and my place in society. I have my favorite beaches and places to go to disappear and reset too.
@@HappyHarryHardon amen to that. I don't socialize in person much, so people are always surprised that I spend a lot of my time hiking in the mountains. It's not enough for me to just not be in the same building as people - I need to be away from all signs of civilization to reset.
it’s some kind of interesting irony, that Hannah feels the need to be so alone, yet share her existence with so many millions.. It’s sort of a symptom of our modern lives, the internet, so many of us all alone, watching other people’s lives on TH-cam.. Peace Hannah and a million thanks for sharing with us your lovely life stories..and fun adventures!
Very sad....really. I've been drifting away from you tube cuz i feel like watching other peoples lives is a bit unhealthy. Just trying to be more present in my own life instead. I like Hannah's videos cuz im also a single female van lifer n huge introvert.
My favourite bit about watching your videos is that, in this crazy world when everyone is asking you to be the best you can, you come in and say 'all you need is a pot of pasta and a sunset, and you're good'. Every single video of yours reminds me to be myself. I cannot describe how valuable this is. Thank you so much Hannah, for sharing all these simple moments with us!
Ok, I love the part when you start making Sphagetti on your van’s roof and then you say “Their are so many ways to live”. You have captured happiness and love. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Introverts are not alone , you are very intelligent, beautiful and self supporting . There are hundreds of thousands of people that are introverted .The trust factor is the biggest challenge to overcome . I think you have a lot to share with the right person .
When you grow up in Florida you learn to swim with the knowledge that there are alligators. Usually if you are spashing around they will go the other way. I spent many days and summer nights swimming in ponds and lakes.... We all did. This video really made me feel nostalgic. The road you were driving on was where me and my husband used to go when I was suppose to be at school and we wanted to be alone. We would go park by the water and talk for hours.. Now 23 years later and those days were the beginning. I hope your time there was as lovely. Your lucky you came while the mosquitos aren't bad.
Isabel feel asleep outside for a short time. During that time she was introduced to mosquitos and no-see-umms. It's a good thing she woke up... Hannah would have gotten scared pretty fast if she could't find Isa... I got eatten up bad by no-see-ums one time. It was BAD...
It’s okay, you don’t always have to be okay with being alone. Attachment to some people is not always that bad, accept it and your feelings too, allow them to be. You are loved!
I try to remember that everyone's awkward. Everyone is. That helps me excuse and laugh at my own awkwardness in unfamiliar social situations. Everyone's awkward and it's wonderful.
this was such a perfect valentines day gift, having someone sit on a van in the dark and tell me they love me while eating spaghetti and marveling at the hugeness of life. this was what i needed.
That moment of realizing you just need to be outside, alone, someplace that feels like wilderness, and suddenly all the problems inside your head are gone. It's the best thing in the world but also the reason I've developed a habit of going on walks in the forest at inopportune times.
Your videos are so refreshing. They are a highpoint to my week. You remind this old man of how it felt to be young and full of life. Thank you. Please be careful out there by yourself. We all care for and worry about you. Happy Valentine's day.
@@katyhoney she has a van alot of people have with no identifying features except maybe the deck on her roof but a person would be waiting a long time for her at one of the MANY locations she frequents and she only told us one so she'll be fine
Thank you for keeping things "real" in this video. I myself was having an anxious day and it's always nice to be affirmed that we all have our off days.
@hannahleeduggan it’s okay to miss her you guys should have stayed together a few more weeks. There was a lot of amazing things between you guys. You are my favorite TH-cam channel. Keep your head up. ❤️
SO flipping true! I have a small family, just me, my hubby, and teenage son. When they leave to go on their hunting trips, I always go back into the house and sing it loudly ‘alone again, naturally’ and I’m not sad about it. 😂
It`s actually about a guy contemplating taking his own life by jumping off a tower because he was stood up at the alter...and his folks passing away.Very depressing,but on the bright side the guy who wrote it (Gilbert O`Sullivan)is alive and well and still receiving royalties for his one hit wonder,almost 50 years later...I know this because I wanted to do a thrash metal cover,but decided not to because it was too dark for my liking after I read the lyrics...but your observation is spot on.
Karl Wester ...."one hit wonder"? ...don't think so!... With some research you would know that he had a number of hits apart from Alone Again, Naturally such as Nothing Rhymes, Matrimony, Claire etc...all were big hits I believe...
i dont think you realise how much your videos help me. im 17 and i live in a household that i need to leave. your vanlife has inspired me to buy a van and do it up so i can live by myself, independently i love you
Please know you’re not alone. I am in a similar situation, but know we have the power to make home wherever we are at. I thought being 17 I’d basically have stuff figured out but that’s not the case. People who are supposed to be there aren’t. We got this though ❤️💕🌿
@@juliehsunflower Sounds like time to find your "chosen family" of friends and allies out in the world. ....kind of exciting really! Sometimes "blood" family is over rated and turns out not to be your real tribe. I wish You all the best in your quest of self discovery and self determination. ...You've got this!
Hahaha I totally agree with you when you said, “the secret to happiness is not being around people” 🙌 I feel you. Traveling solo and doing a road trip is the best time I ever had. Sometimes it's the people that are surrounding you that make you feel even more lonely.
I went on a road trip by myself and I felt those exact same feelings: we are human beings and it’s naturally for us to feel lonely and anxious. It’s good to isolate and take care of yourself but it’s also good to have exposure therapy and expose yourself to things outside your comfort zone. My biggest lesson I learned was that it’s ok to ask for help. We can’t be so strong and independent all the time. I had to FaceTime my mom to help me push through so I didn’t turn back around. It was beautiful and I reconnected with nature but it was also one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But something I will be proud of for the rest of my life
I love everything about what you wrote. I did a solo road trip in 2016. I made it 1,000 miles and wrecked my car. Everyone thought I was crazy for going in the first place. Everyone except my Mom. She knew what it meant to me. After the crash, I wanted to keep going, with all of my being. But I had moments of doubt and I was shaken. My car was not drivable. My Mom, who passed the following year said to me “Don’t you dare give up. Keep going.” She was the only one that said it. Everyone else assumed that was the end of my trip. I took a week to gather myself. Rented a car, sent mine home for repair, and drove another 9,000 miles around the country. It was, and remains...one of the best things I’ve ever done. I too, have always been very independent. I love my solitude. But I’ve also learned to open my heart and let people in. Losing my Mom was rough, and even though we were close, it wasn’t until after she was gone that I realized how much I had shut her out. I’ve grown closer to her and in many ways feel more connected now. I hope anyone reading this finds a nugget that resonates or helps in some way.
@@kt9495 wow that was beautiful. I’m sorry about your mom, she seems like an amazing person to support you like that. There were people who thought I was crazy too and I realized those are people who are afraid of their own solitude. But now that I’ve done it I’m currently learning how to open up my heart. It was closed for so long that I pushed people away. Thank you for sharing your journey 🧡
@@JustNicole6400 Thank you so much for your kind words. I remember the reactions profoundly. They were generally surprise from women that said they could never do something like that, often mixed with a longing that suggested they didn’t think they had it in them. The reaction from men was often admiration with an underlying sense of protection, if it wasn’t outright fear telling them to tell me not to do it. Hi Dad! Ironically, the timing of your post and my experience over the last week is synchronistic. I left California to drive to Texas for the birth of my first born daughters first child, also a girl. She’s perfect, btw. Something told me to leave earlier than I had planned. I also began to sense about 700 miles in that I was going to have a problem with a tire. Figured it was just a normal road worry but it never really let up. Maps took me off I-10 onto some deserted one lane junctions for about 80 miles and I really began to feel uneasy. I said...You don’t know how to change a tire, it’s freezing out and you have no cell service. Much relieved when I made it back without incident onto the main hwy, I still had a nagging feeling. When I finally made it within 20 miles of their home, my check tire light went off. I pulled off to make sure I wasn’t running flat, and continued on. Next morning I had a full flat. My future son in law then gave me a comprehensive lesson on how to change a tire. 😊 I also missed the severe storm that just hit, and the icy roads by leaving early. I guess the moral of my story is, always trust your gut, and thank the angel on your shoulder.
I hope everyone's having a great day, Hannah you are my go to outlet for a calming and relaxing time. Thanks so much for just being completely you and honest about your experiences in your life, because it inspires me so much.
not everyone can afford to buy or renovate a van and pay for the food, water, gas, etc. required to live in one. and sadly, not everyone has an opportunity to work a remote job that would provide them the income to do so. if only it was as simple as "do ridiculous shit, that's all anyone should do ever" but that way of thinking comes from a very privileged place.
@@jenniviiv this is true. i enjoy the sentiment but it's so unrealistic for so many people who have to work (not online) and who have bills to pay. not everyone is young and beautiful and an 'influencer.'
@@jenniviiv If you watched her whole video, she stated it doesn't have to be BIG. It could just be a big bowl of spaghetti on a roof. That's the beauty of it! This is not a privilege, but in a sense, sadly, I see it is. It is a privilege to see the beauty in life like this. Just step out of your comfort zone, even for just a moment on a day off, and do random new things. Live your LIFE-much love and light.
@@jenniviivIt may be more going with decisions and learning to adapt to those decisions. Hannah started and finished and moved on to new highlights as she finds ways to continue.
I have social anxiety dosorder. Beatrice Potter created Peter Rabbit because she liked to be far away and alone. You are glorious just the way you are.
I really felt you when you said how you were lonely and anxious because there was so many people around, and you got better once you went to the middle of nowhere.
I see you, fellow introvert. “I shut the door behind me. At once, I felt better. There is something fundamental in the desire to have a door to close, sealing out the rest of the world.”~Abby Geni, The Lightkeepers, 2016
I want to share that I came across your channel a few mths ago. I find you to be so inspiring. How you express your self and the bravery to share your personal growth really resonates with me. I feel like the energy you put out I can relate too. Thank you for your genuineness as you share personal life with others with can help them along their very own path to their true and best selves ❤
It takes time to adjust being alone again. Especially after having such a good time with a loved one. But i'm sure you'll be fine. Thank you for this beautiful video🌿
It would take me a million lifetimes to convey what your videos mean to me. I have no life, I have nothing but illness and pain. You are so amazing Hannah. The joy I feel when I watch your videos can't be quantified. I wish for you so much goodness, adventure, peace, fulfillment and the never ending evolvement in finding who you want to eventually be.
Girl I live in SoCal and am constantly trying to escape people and feel this way in nature but it’s basically impossible. Hopefully I can move to Oregon eventually :/ I neeeeeed freakin trees and silence
Your videos are incredibly calming and so beautiful. My absolute favorite thing to do as of recently is start my day off watching a new video of yours over a cup of green tea and OJ. You're so inspiring and thoughtful! Thanks for contributing your ideas, thoughts, and artistry into the world. We all so appreciate it!
I feel happiest alone too. Nature and animals are my comfort, my joy, my peace. Humans tend to clog up the purity and peace of just being present and connected to the world around you and to the moment you are in. You're doing life right, Hannah. I'm so happy for you.
I've been dealing with a lot of trauma and the past, trying to heal. Your videos are helping me get through it with your humor, ideas, and your transparency. I used to hate being alone, but now with 3 of my 4 children grown, I'm embracing it more and more each day. I still have rough days, but I'm getting there. Thank you for showing us you and your life Hannah!!
That was the most beautiful, raw and real video I've seen from you. I love when you speak from the heart, it's not corny at all, we need more people saying things like that. Thank you for your art and if eating pasta on your van deck makes you giggle like that please do it more often, you are adorable!! Love ya 💚💫
I loved this one Hannah. I find my center again in nature alone. It is like, how do we forget this? Then we find out again and we are sure to forget I guess, She will never let us down. ❤
This video showed up when I was feeling lonely and anxious, and it made me feel better knowing that I am not alone and that things will get better❤️ So glad to find Hannah’s beautiful and inspiring video💖
Hannah, thank you for doing what you do! As an introvert I often feel guilty for needing time away from people, but you have taught me that being alone is not only okay, but necessary. I look up to you so so much, keep being awesome!
i struggle so much w anxiety, social anxiety & social phobia & so much more mental illnesses so i hear you girl! believe in yourself & stay true to yourself ✨ getting comfortable w our own company is hard. sending you hugs !
Spending time with friends is amazing! And alone time is amazing! A time in between your friends parting ways and trying to get back in the alone mode is so challenging! I’m so glad you found your happy place! Sending love!
Your precious moments are so inspiring ! I'm actually building a van and your night eating spaghetti on the roof almost made me cry ! That's happiness and thank you for sharing it ! It reminds us the most important in our life, living !
It seems I saw a new side of Hannahleeduggan this time. You drew us deeper into your circle of life. You exposed us to the raw beauty of your inner self. The filming and editing seemed to reach another level. What you do is truly awesome. Thank you for bringing us along.
I know the feeling all too well!! Whenever I've been with people for a while 24/7 it's hard to be alone again all of a sudden and takes a while to get used to again.
You are such an inspiration 💖 I've struggled with social anxiety for my whole life and it's such an inspiration to see someone living their best life with it, thank you ❤️
"just get out there and live, it doesn't have to be big" best advice, perfectly spoken wisdom. The song by staffan is similar to wolf larsen's music ( if I be wrong and kitchen door are good songs)
You really need a little dog. Small dogs can go anywhere. You would never be lonely and have a little alarm/security system. My 4lb chihuahua is my bestfriend.
I was idly watching without much thought, and then became hyper aware of the fact that you were sitting in the dark, on your roof, eating spaghetti by the light of your head lamp, and right when I started laughing, so did you. Love it.
Hannah, you are so brave and inspirational traveling around alone, I'm surprised to hear you have social anxiety issues. I think it's great that you're putting it out there so we see you fight past your issues and triumph. I like being alone but also having my husband in the other room. : ) I would be lonely. I think Isabel is struggling too. It would be cool if you could go stay at her tiny home for a while on your way back up north. I live in Florida and take it for granted, it's cool to see it through your eyes. God Bless.
Hannah and Isabel love water. They love open sky, stars and the moon. Time for you guys to buy a boat and sail together. Aaarrrr... here come the beautiful sailors!
That rooftop scene was magical from start to end. And i need corny in my life! Love when you are this vulnrable. So brave and inspiring!! Godess vibes 💚
Love how you do you. Keep shining your light out to everyone. I started to make a list of my favorite Hannah quotes. Here's a few of my favorites from this video: "I hope you just get out there and live. Do things that don't make any sense. Do things that make you happy." "Do ridiculous shit. That's all anyone should do. There's so many ways to live." Love this girl. Namaste. 🧿

Isabel feel asleep outside for a short time. During that time she was introduced to mosquitos and no-see-umms. It's a good thing she woke up... Hannah would have gotten scared pretty fast if she could't find Isa... I got eatten up bad by no-see-ums one time. It was BAD...
this was beautiful, thank you for letting me hear your story :)
It’s okay, you don’t always have to be okay with being alone. Attachment to some people is not always that bad, accept it and your feelings too, allow them to be. You are loved!
Well said
Bine zis fată!
I try to remember that everyone's awkward. Everyone is. That helps me excuse and laugh at my own awkwardness in unfamiliar social situations. Everyone's awkward and it's wonderful.
Yeesss 🙂
I hope everyone gets to understand it beautifully like you cause almost everyone is judgemental😢
Wow, I needed this. Thankyou
this was such a perfect valentines day gift, having someone sit on a van in the dark and tell me they love me while eating spaghetti and marveling at the hugeness of life. this was what i needed.
That moment of realizing you just need to be outside, alone, someplace that feels like wilderness, and suddenly all the problems inside your head are gone. It's the best thing in the world but also the reason I've developed a habit of going on walks in the forest at inopportune times.
When you can get beyond loneliness and the need for people, you have achieved total freedom.
🙏
The birds flying over the swamp was magical.
I noticed that as well, magical is the right word!
and the sunrise mist off the water
the entire last chapter is just me saying "what the fuck" because its so beautiful
I just wanted to play that part again and again
She’s literally the most amazing human, when she says “I hope you guys have an amazing life”, like thank u, u make it amazing for us
Hey Hannah, Whenever you feel alone remember you have nearly 1/2 million friends here rooting for you.
And even some rooting! 😁🤗
@@somenomad5332 ha ha, good spot have corrected it!
“There are so many ways to live.” Yes, that.
This video is so honest and made me feel a lot better knowing others feel the same (even when we prefer being alone most times we still get lonely)
Couldn't agree more with this statement: "Do ridiculous shit. That's all everyone should do ever."
Your videos are so refreshing. They are a highpoint to my week. You remind this old man of how it felt to be young and full of life. Thank you. Please be careful out there by yourself. We all care for and worry about you. Happy Valentine's day.
What he said! Lol stay safe.
I feel the exact same way about being around people! It physically drains me and then I need to be alone and recoup.
Same here! some people actually get offended thinking they may have done something wrong that I want to have alone time
Hannah don't share your locations specially repeating ones.
Please visit isabel or ask her to travel with you again..💜️
Totally agree good d advice 100%
I agree! Not smart to reveal exactly where you are. Being to trusting is not good.
She isn't there when the video posts, I don't see the problem.
@@PlaceboEllie but she frequents some of the places, some one could just look for her van..
@@katyhoney she has a van alot of people have with no identifying features except maybe the deck on her roof but a person would be waiting a long time for her at one of the MANY locations she frequents and she only told us one so she'll be fine
Thank you for keeping things "real" in this video. I myself was having an anxious day and it's always nice to be affirmed that we all have our off days.
I feel like she misses Isabel a lot.
She do she do 😭😭
@hannahleeduggan it’s okay to miss her you guys should have stayed together a few more weeks. There was a lot of amazing things between you guys. You are my favorite TH-cam channel. Keep your head up. ❤️
It's not gonna take that long they'll be back together cause they misses each other.
for sure, although it's a 2 way battle it seems, being alone and being with Isabel.
True on that. 2 like minded people is rare.
"alone again naturally" is the theme song of the introverts
Such a good song. I'm proud to have it as my theme. ;^)
SO flipping true! I have a small family, just me, my hubby, and teenage son. When they leave to go on their hunting trips, I always go back into the house and sing it loudly ‘alone again, naturally’ and I’m not sad about it. 😂
So true!
It`s actually about a guy contemplating taking his own life by jumping off a tower because he was stood up at the alter...and his folks passing away.Very depressing,but on the bright side the guy who wrote it (Gilbert O`Sullivan)is alive and well and still receiving royalties for his one hit wonder,almost 50 years later...I know this because I wanted to do a thrash metal cover,but decided not to because it was too dark for my liking after I read the lyrics...but your observation is spot on.
Karl Wester ...."one hit wonder"? ...don't think so!... With some research you would know that he had a number of hits apart from Alone Again, Naturally such as Nothing Rhymes, Matrimony, Claire etc...all were big hits I believe...
i dont think you realise how much your videos help me. im 17 and i live in a household that i need to leave. your vanlife has inspired me to buy a van and do it up so i can live by myself, independently
i love you
Please know you’re not alone.
I am in a similar situation, but know we have the power to make home wherever we are at.
I thought being 17 I’d basically have stuff figured out but that’s not the case.
People who are supposed to be there aren’t. We got this though ❤️💕🌿
@@juliehsunflower Sounds like time to find your "chosen family" of friends and allies out in the world.
....kind of exciting really!
Sometimes "blood" family is over rated and turns out not to be your real tribe.
I wish You all the best in your quest of self discovery and self determination.
...You've got this!
I just started living in a van and I feel the exact same way. I love being alone, but I wasn’t prepared for the loneliness
Hahaha I totally agree with you when you said, “the secret to happiness is not being around people” 🙌 I feel you. Traveling solo and doing a road trip is the best time I ever had. Sometimes it's the people that are surrounding you that make you feel even more lonely.
Even a natural loner will feel lonely after parting from a true kindered spirit.....🤔😊
Aw 🥺🥺🥺💕
I went on a road trip by myself and I felt those exact same feelings: we are human beings and it’s naturally for us to feel lonely and anxious. It’s good to isolate and take care of yourself but it’s also good to have exposure therapy and expose yourself to things outside your comfort zone. My biggest lesson I learned was that it’s ok to ask for help. We can’t be so strong and independent all the time. I had to FaceTime my mom to help me push through so I didn’t turn back around. It was beautiful and I reconnected with nature but it was also one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But something I will be proud of for the rest of my life
I love everything about what you wrote. I did a solo road trip in 2016. I made it 1,000 miles and wrecked my car. Everyone thought I was crazy for going in the first place. Everyone except my Mom. She knew what it meant to me. After the crash, I wanted to keep going, with all of my being. But I had moments of doubt and I was shaken. My car was not drivable. My Mom, who passed the following year said to me “Don’t you dare give up. Keep going.” She was the only one that said it. Everyone else assumed that was the end of my trip.
I took a week to gather myself. Rented a car, sent mine home for repair, and drove another 9,000 miles around the country. It was, and remains...one of the best things I’ve ever done. I too, have always been very independent. I love my solitude. But I’ve also learned to open my heart and let people in. Losing my Mom was rough, and even though we were close, it wasn’t until after she was gone that I realized how much I had shut her out. I’ve grown closer to her and in many ways feel more connected now. I hope anyone reading this finds a nugget that resonates or helps in some way.
@@kt9495 wow that was beautiful. I’m sorry about your mom, she seems like an amazing person to support you like that. There were people who thought I was crazy too and I realized those are people who are afraid of their own solitude. But now that I’ve done it I’m currently learning how to open up my heart. It was closed for so long that I pushed people away. Thank you for sharing your journey 🧡
@@JustNicole6400 Thank you so much for your kind words. I remember the reactions profoundly. They were generally surprise from women that said they could never do something like that, often mixed with a longing that suggested they didn’t think they had it in them. The reaction from men was often admiration with an underlying sense of protection, if it wasn’t outright fear telling them to tell me not to do it. Hi Dad!
Ironically, the timing of your post and my experience over the last week is synchronistic. I left California to drive to Texas for the birth of my first born daughters first child, also a girl. She’s perfect, btw. Something told me to leave earlier than I had planned. I also began to sense about 700 miles in that I was going to have a problem with a tire. Figured it was just a normal road worry but it never really let up. Maps took me off I-10 onto some deserted one lane junctions for about 80 miles and I really began to feel uneasy. I said...You don’t know how to change a tire, it’s freezing out and you have no cell service. Much relieved when I made it back without incident onto the main hwy, I still had a nagging feeling. When I finally made it within 20 miles of their home, my check tire light went off. I pulled off to make sure I wasn’t running flat, and continued on. Next morning I had a full flat. My future son in law then gave me a comprehensive lesson on how to change a tire. 😊 I also missed the severe storm that just hit, and the icy roads by leaving early.
I guess the moral of my story is, always trust your gut, and thank the angel on your shoulder.
the 'r0ugh day in my van' is a personal fave i come back to it every 3 fucking days
When your giddy with happiness are the best moments you share and I call those in my life Hannah moments. Like “I’m just having a Hannah moment 😁😁🫶”
I agree with you, there’s something so nice about being alone and enjoying your own company. 🧡
I hope everyone's having a great day, Hannah you are my go to outlet for a calming and relaxing time. Thanks so much for just being completely you and honest about your experiences in your life, because it inspires me so much.
❤️❤️ could not agree more
“Do ridiculous shit that’s all anyone should do ever, there’s so many ways to live”
❤️ get out there and live ❤️
not everyone can afford to buy or renovate a van and pay for the food, water, gas, etc. required to live in one. and sadly, not everyone has an opportunity to work a remote job that would provide them the income to do so. if only it was as simple as "do ridiculous shit, that's all anyone should do ever" but that way of thinking comes from a very privileged place.
@@jenniviiv this is true. i enjoy the sentiment but it's so unrealistic for so many people who have to work (not online) and who have bills to pay. not everyone is young and beautiful and an 'influencer.'
@@jenniviiv If you watched her whole video, she stated it doesn't have to be BIG. It could just be a big bowl of spaghetti on a roof. That's the beauty of it! This is not a privilege, but in a sense, sadly, I see it is. It is a privilege to see the beauty in life like this. Just step out of your comfort zone, even for just a moment on a day off, and do random new things. Live your LIFE-much love and light.
@@jenniviivIt may be more going with decisions and learning to adapt to those decisions. Hannah started and finished and moved on to new highlights as she finds ways to continue.
“There’s so many ways to live” ✨ thank you Hannah
The secret for literally all of my happiness is..."not being around people". And I think to myself...where have you been all of my life. Lol 😊.
The best skill I ever learned was to be happy and comfortable and love my own company!
I have social anxiety dosorder. Beatrice Potter created Peter Rabbit because she liked to be far away and alone. You are glorious just the way you are.
The Museum where I work has all the Beatrix Potter archive and library. I don't work directly in it but I did go in there once and it's awesome!
♥️
I relate. 💕
I really felt you when you said how you were lonely and anxious because there was so many people around, and you got better once you went to the middle of nowhere.
I see you, fellow introvert. “I shut the door behind me. At once, I felt better. There is something fundamental in the desire to have a door to close, sealing out the rest of the world.”~Abby Geni, The Lightkeepers, 2016
I want to share that I came across your channel a few mths ago. I find you to be so inspiring. How you express your self and the bravery to share your personal growth really resonates with me. I feel like the energy you put out I can relate too. Thank you for your genuineness as you share personal life with others with can help them along their very own path to their true and best selves ❤
It takes time to adjust being alone again. Especially after having such a good time with a loved one.
But i'm sure you'll be fine. Thank you for this beautiful video🌿
Agree a thousand percent... I just get back in nature and everything is fine
Same 💙
“There’s nothing here for you,” she says to the bee, as she has lavender hanging in her van. 😂🐝
I mean the wasp was probably more into any form of sugar than dried flowers, but I liked the interaction
Commenting for Hannah’s TH-cam algorithm. Thanks for keeping the real I cherish each experience you choose to share with us.
Algorithm??
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO OPEN. WE NEED THAT.I live through it too.
It would take me a million lifetimes to convey what your videos mean to me. I have no life, I have nothing but illness and pain. You are so amazing Hannah. The joy I feel when I watch your videos can't be quantified. I wish for you so much goodness, adventure, peace, fulfillment and the never ending evolvement in finding who you want to eventually be.
Stay safe Hannah. You’re a true treasure to the whole community.
I think you and Isabel have created a bond with each other!
Feel free to reach out, however, whenever. Spent many a years living alone with my job, anxieties definitely take you away at times. Stay safe :)
Girl I live in SoCal and am constantly trying to escape people and feel this way in nature but it’s basically impossible. Hopefully I can move to Oregon eventually :/ I neeeeeed freakin trees and silence
Your videos are incredibly calming and so beautiful. My absolute favorite thing to do as of recently is start my day off watching a new video of yours over a cup of green tea and OJ. You're so inspiring and thoughtful! Thanks for contributing your ideas, thoughts, and artistry into the world. We all so appreciate it!
I feel happiest alone too. Nature and animals are my comfort, my joy, my peace. Humans tend to clog up the purity and peace of just being present and connected to the world around you and to the moment you are in. You're doing life right, Hannah. I'm so happy for you.
Her videos is my chill pill, introvert like me and obsessing with nature can relate
I've been dealing with a lot of trauma and the past, trying to heal. Your videos are helping me get through it with your humor, ideas, and your transparency. I used to hate being alone, but now with 3 of my 4 children grown, I'm embracing it more and more each day. I still have rough days, but I'm getting there. Thank you for showing us you and your life Hannah!!
I appreciate you sharing where you are at in your mental Hannah. It’s honestly refreshing and real!
That was the most beautiful, raw and real video I've seen from you. I love when you speak from the heart, it's not corny at all, we need more people saying things like that. Thank you for your art and if eating pasta on your van deck makes you giggle like that please do it more often, you are adorable!! Love ya 💚💫
the whole ''getting back into nature and feeling fine'', I mean, same. It's so simple and still we tend to forget?
I loved this one Hannah. I find my center again in nature alone. It is like, how do we forget this? Then we find out again and we are sure to forget I guess, She will never let us down. ❤
I can't help crying, this video made me realize what I really need in life. I'm just so happy ,it feels like I found the missing piece.
Love seeing you speak your truth about anxiety and just life. ❤️
This video showed up when I was feeling lonely and anxious, and it made me feel better knowing that I am not alone and that things will get better❤️ So glad to find Hannah’s beautiful and inspiring video💖
Hannah, thank you for doing what you do! As an introvert I often feel guilty for needing time away from people, but you have taught me that being alone is not only okay, but necessary. I look up to you so so much, keep being awesome!
Holy fuck, that misty lake at the end is gosh darn magical.
right! so pretty, and then the birds flew by, like damn, what a dreamy scene
Can't agree with you more..the water is so crystal clear. OMG😯
i struggle so much w anxiety, social anxiety & social phobia & so much more mental illnesses so i hear you girl! believe in yourself & stay true to yourself ✨ getting comfortable w our own company is hard. sending you hugs !
Spending time with friends is amazing! And alone time is amazing! A time in between your friends parting ways and trying to get back in the alone mode is so challenging! I’m so glad you found your happy place! Sending love!
not me crying cause its so pretty, and u looked so happy eating that spaghetti.. thanks for reminding me about how special the little things are
I’ve never commented on a TH-cam videos before, honestly love what your doing and how you share it. I never miss an episode.
Would you ever post your Spotify playlists/ or a list of song you listen to on your videos? So many vibes coming from the music you listen to!
The novice hermit lives in a cave. The advanced hermit lives in the city. Take your peace with you where ever you go. Sweet van
Your precious moments are so inspiring ! I'm actually building a van and your night eating spaghetti on the roof almost made me cry ! That's happiness and thank you for sharing it !
It reminds us the most important in our life, living !
It seems I saw a new side of Hannahleeduggan this time. You drew us deeper into your circle of life. You exposed us to the raw beauty of your inner self. The filming and editing seemed to reach another level. What you do is truly awesome. Thank you for bringing us along.
I also only feel peace and true happiness when there is no one around. You’re not the only one!! People suck but you never let yourself down. ❤️
Me too ☺️ with my coffee ☕
I know the feeling all too well!! Whenever I've been with people for a while 24/7 it's hard to be alone again all of a sudden and takes a while to get used to again.
21:15: "There's so many ways to live." I love this.
Your bed facing out to the beach is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.
You are such an inspiration 💖 I've struggled with social anxiety for my whole life and it's such an inspiration to see someone living their best life with it, thank you ❤️
"just get out there and live, it doesn't have to be big" best advice, perfectly spoken wisdom. The song by staffan is similar to wolf larsen's music ( if I be wrong and kitchen door are good songs)
You really need a little dog. Small dogs can go anywhere. You would never be lonely and have a little alarm/security system. My 4lb chihuahua is my bestfriend.
I like that idea too. Would be a nice comfort and joy.
For sure, and small dogs specifically chihuahuas love to just chill and sleep (most adults at least, puppies are a different story 😅)
Good idea.
I was idly watching without much thought, and then became hyper aware of the fact that you were sitting in the dark, on your roof, eating spaghetti by the light of your head lamp, and right when I started laughing, so did you. Love it.
Hannah, you are so brave and inspirational traveling around alone, I'm surprised to hear you have social anxiety issues. I think it's great that you're putting it out there so we see you fight past your issues and triumph. I like being alone but also having my husband in the other room. : ) I would be lonely. I think Isabel is struggling too. It would be cool if you could go stay at her tiny home for a while on your way back up north.
I live in Florida and take it for granted, it's cool to see it through your eyes. God Bless.
Hannah and Isabel love water. They love open sky, stars and the moon. Time for you guys to buy a boat and sail together. Aaarrrr... here come the beautiful sailors!
The khaki-green blouse jumped at me; the color magnifies your beauty. I found you beautiful throughout the video. Maybe you’re really from the past.
True
Hannah: Eating spaghetti on the roof of her van in the dark.
Also Hannah: It can't get better than this.
That rooftop scene was magical from start to end. And i need corny in my life! Love when you are this vulnrable. So brave and inspiring!! Godess vibes 💚
Love how you do you. Keep shining your light out to everyone.
I started to make a list of my favorite Hannah quotes. Here's a few of my favorites from this video:
"I hope you just get out there and live. Do things that don't make any sense. Do things that make you happy."
"Do ridiculous shit. That's all anyone should do. There's so many ways to live."
Love this girl. Namaste. 🧿
When you can look in a mirror every day, and know it's still you....that's everything.
🙏🏻🤍
Alternative title: "Isabel Help Please Florida Is Scary and Sad Without You"
I love the way you live you inspire me so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you ever get scared that someone random will be at those places? But so proud of you! 💕
when you say I love you to the viewers, it feels really genuine
I love how she starts with a recap of where her last video ended, she's so positive and fun to watch💜
