Hi everyone, how was your day? Welcome to the 3rd entry of my diary:)
Instagram: / hannahwurld
One of the major reasons I ended up living in my car for so long was because it's really hard to find suitable housing with my dog, Halo. Many times, people just straight up reject me, saying 'no pets allowed,' even though I tell them Halo is my service dog. Sometimes, I feel like being a dog mom is like I've committed a crime or something, and people are really against the idea of living with a dog.
The struggles with Halo go beyond just housing. Despite everyone saying 'Oh my gosh, your dog is so cute,' finding someone to babysit him (if I need to be away) feels nearly impossible.
Halo has been with me for 10 years and he has witnessed all the major stages of my life: graduating with a computer science degree, ending my 8-year relationship, and moving cities and countries. It's bittersweet to say, but Halo has accompanied me longer than any other human in my life.
I'm really grateful my tech company lets me bring Halo with me to the office. I think that's another reason I've been able to live in my car for so long - my office feels like home. That's probably why I decided to have a mini birthday celebration at the office too, even though it was just me:)

When I was watching this diary, I felt sadness :(. Especially the part where she sings the "Happy Birthday" song. No matter how independent you are, we, as humans, always seek to be a part of something in order to survive. We yearn for a sincere connection with others. Keep going, girl. You will find what you are seeking. Sending a hug and love....

Yeah, you are right; I feel for her cause she tries to take care of herself & her dog. I am also sad, as she displays good character! & determination. I wish she was in my city. I work for the US navy, military sealift command, I get housing/free Laundry service through them (over 25 years). I will pray for this girl!

@angelpantsflyy
@angelpantsflyy Месяц назад
I think that’s valid, I’ve noticed the older we get the smaller the friend circles become. Have you tried joining friend meetups or groups outside of work? If you’re open to meeting people there are plenty of groups that host these types of events just for the purpose of making friends. I would suggest not expecting too much to make friends at work because most people just want to work and then go home so they’re not really trying to befriend anyone. Most work friendships tend to be organic and if you click, you click but if you don’t then move on. I feel for you because it’s hard to make friends as an adult and I hope you keep trying. Don’t give up!! Also Halo is soooo cute!

​@@HannahWurldgoing to church community is a good idea. As a church, we are called to help each other. Just be careful not to go to prosperity gospel churches and cults. If you ever decided to be part of a church community (hopefully and I pray that you do), do some research first about the church. I will pray for your safety and will pray that you find your purpose in life. I dont know what is your stand about christianity, but I will say this nontheless because I am not ashamed of the Gospel, you can never find happiness and satisfaction apart from Christ, only Christ can give you the purpose in life, happiness and satisfaction. Dream jobs, fame, wealth, none of these matters because at the end of our life, all of this will be gone. So we set our eyes not on perishable, but on imperishable, which is freely given by Jesus Christ, who came down to earth, and lived a perfect life without sin, and to be crucified on the cross for the sins we commited, so that we may be forgiven and to receive His righteousness. And on the third day, He is risen from the dead, so that we also who believes in Him will also rise with Him.

Hannah, I also am alone and I am an 80 yr old woman. However, with Jesus Christ I have a friend who is with me. He is so close and just a prayer away. I can talk to him wherever and whenever I want or need to. A good Bible-believing church will have others in it who will care about you and pray for you. There will be people who care befriend you. I will pray for you to find a church home where you will find real friends. God loves you. Praying for you from Texas.

Hi Hannah, I watched your shorts of your work days when you lived in Vancouver. You seemed so much happier there. ❤ You don't know us from a can of paint, but I'm in agreement with others in your comments in that maybe going back home to your friends and family would be best for you. It doesn't mean that you failed. You took a leap of faith to try something new and you have gained good life experience. But staying in a place that doesn't make you happy is not the way. You're a beautiful young lady and you seem super sweet and kind and it pains me to see you unhappy when you don't have to be. Wishing you many blessings and joy. 🙏🏾 Take care ❤

I am an immigrant and an introvert, I have always relied on myself. I do not celebrate holidays or birthdays as I am very low maintenance. I even went through a surgery all by myself. And for the past 15 years, I have maintained close friendship with only one person. And she lives on the other side of America. I am self-sufficient and very content. I hope you can find your inner peace as well.

Part of growing up is accepting loneliness, that you no longer have your friends from school or from your neighborhood. And one sad thing about work is that everyone is your colleagues, not friends. If you want to have or make new friends you need some hobbies, or go to group activities, like dances or activity clubs. But you are very brave for trying to make your life in one of the most expensive areas of the USA.

I also have a calm tan husky and live in a house in Mountain View near the Stevens Creek Trail in walking distance to that Microsoft campus (and I also used to have a vlog, but have unlisted most of the videos). Years ago, I considered living in a vehicle to save $20k per year, but decided to get a larger house as a master tenant and find roommates who would live with me and split the cost. It solves the price, loneliness, space, and bathroom/hygiene access issues you mention. It’s also better for making friends and dating to have a place you can invite people to to have dinner, play board games, etc. Ultimately, it affects your mental wellbeing, and it’s worth the price.

Hi Hannah, Happy birthday! I came across your RU-vid channel and wanted to reach out to let you know how inspiring your journey with Halo is. Your resilience and positive attitude in the face of challenges are truly remarkable. It’s clear how much Halo means to you, and it’s touching to see the bond you share. The dedication you have shown in caring for him, despite the difficulties, speaks volumes about your strength and character. Halo is incredibly lucky to have you, and it’s wonderful that you’ve had each other through so many major life events. I know it’s not easy finding suitable housing when you have a service dog, and I admire your perseverance. It’s encouraging to hear that your workplace is supportive and allows you to bring Halo with you every day-it sounds like a second home. Your story reminds us all of the importance of compassion and understanding. I hope you had a wonderful mini birthday celebration at your office. Even though it was just you, know that there are people out here, like me, who are rooting for you and wishing you the best. You deserve all the happiness and success in the world, and I hope the coming year brings you closer to achieving your dreams. Keep sharing your story and spreading hope. You’re making a difference, and you have a friend here if you ever need support or just someone to talk to. Best wishes, M. Sami 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🌹✨✨🎀✨✨🌹 🌹🌟🎁🙆🎁🌟🌹 🌹🌟🎁💎🎁🌟🌹 🌹🌟🎁💖🎁🌟🌹 🌹Happy bday 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Nothing wrong with relying on others, we are all on this earth together. I started my life fiercely independent, and realised I was doing so as a response to feeling desperate to rely on others. Now I have a happy balance, and I found my friends through attending clubs for the interests I had. I did dance, board gaming, walking, things that I love, so I found people who loved those things too and were the same kind of people as me. Work has never really provided me friends, I don’t see how it could as they are such random people to me, and I am fine with that.

I'm a real estate agent and that happens all the time. I'd say the universe is telling you to get an apartment. I'm guessing you make mid six figures and with that salary you can easily afford it and you would be massively safer and provide a much better home for Halo. Then you could also leave him from time to time and you would be able to go out and meet some people. You're obviously smart, resourceful and very attractive and in just a few videos have amassed over 15K subscribers. That's pretty amazing. So the more interesting your life gets, I'm sure you'll attract many more viewers. Go get the apartment. The universe wants you to be safe and happy.

I have a lot of (admittedly unsolicited) advice to give about friendship. One thing that occurs to me is that before others will want you as a friend, you must: 1. Love and accept yourself and 2. Have a strong sense of self. By 1, I mean you must emotionally internalize that you love yourself and are worth being loved by others. If you don't, you end up coming across as desperate for others' approval because you don't approve of yourself, and that scares people off because you are subconsciously holding them responsible for your own self-worth. By 2, I mean once you have accepted yourself as worth loving, you must then decide who that person is, regardless of what other people think. In other words, become polarizing. By choosing to be something, you are making some people less interested in you and some people more interested in you. I went to a programming meetup a few weeks ago and made a friend there because we were both Dungeons & Dragons nerds. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't care about D&D or even actively think I'm a loser for liking it. That's fine. I don't need those people to be my friend. But without having a strong sense of what I'm about, my new D&D friend wouldn't have had a basis on which to like or dislike me.

also if you dont value yourself or think you’re deserving of love intrinsically, you will not only scare away healthy people who don’t want to hold that kind of responsibility in a relationship, but also you will attract people who want to use and manipulate insecure people and have control over others. That happened to me during my early and mid 20s cause i was so desperate for validation, I mixed myself up in romantic relationships and friendship relationships with people who did not have good intentions. luckily i learned before i made any permanent mistakes like marriage or having a baby with the wrong person

If u enjoy sunny weather, I recommend Singapore! It’s a diverse beautiful place with lots of expats. Everyone is quite opened. I recommend check out sherry in Singapore on RU-vid. She’s also from Vancouver, she now works at her own startup in SG. But Do check the requirements for moving dog abroad. Just know not everywhere people are cold like SF. It’s not you! It’s the city and the atmosphere around the place you live. Hence you should definitely try seeing other countries with warmer cultures.

I lived in the Bay Area for over a decade. It is hard to make friends there. I live in Southern California, Orange County, now. People are way more friendly here and I am happier. The weather is perfect too. Singapore is a nice place but it's really hot, humid, lacks natural scenery, and you might run out of things to do.

I know you had some expectations when you decided to move to California but it has been months and you're still living in your car and when you offer cake to the people they don't even come to eat it with you. Just go back home where at least you can have an house to live with your dog and your family near enough to share some moment with them. This episode of your life helped you to grow a lot but you don't need to suffer anymore Hannah.

I think an important thing to remember when trying to make new friends is to not be afraid to put yourself out there, but at the same time to not take things personal if not everyone vibes with you. You wouldn't want to be friends with people who don't accept you for who you are anyways. As long as you are confident in the great person you are, the right people will notice that and gravitate towards you :)

Be the best friend to yourself and always love your self. There are three main resources in life that you have to balance out though: Time, health and wealth. The most people struggle with finding the well balanced point. You really want to have a deep though on this and make life changes based on that thought. The personal happiness usually follows afterward.

First of all, Happy Birthday, Hannah. To your coworkers, just stay cordial. Hate to tell you, kiddo, but it appears that you are the only one who wants to be friends. Don't put yourself out there until someone takes an interest in being friends with you. Then go slow until you can find out if their intentions are honorable. Even though it is easy to say, screw this, I'm leaving, you would be right back to square 1(at least for now you are at square 1.75, which is still farther than square 1). Just let time take it's course. Stuff tends to happen when you least expect it. Walk around the office with your head heald high, like the successful engineer you are! We Asians are not quitters. Even though at times it does seem tempting, but I do believe it is not in our DNA to give up when we come this far. Failure is not an option....or at least not right now. Make a list of all your interests and look for people who enjoy the same, like in clubs and organizations. Go outside your circle to get what you need. It is probably there just waiting for you. Take care.

I just wanted to let you know I care. Besides , I would NEVER be friends with someone who turns down birthday cake! Who the hell does that! Because I am a grandfather, I have the power to see the future. The same issues you are having now, I had the exact same issues back in the day. Believe it or not, these people are helping to build the more successful future Hannah. These people are showing you how the real world can be. You have to adapt in order to grow. Hannah, you need to become more like a M&M. You need a harder exterior to save the softer interior. Take care, Ron

Hey Hannah, hope you have been well. The last part felt a bit similar as I am used to celebrating my birthdays either with my family or alone. Sometimes, when alone, I feel better about the freedom to do whatever I want, while other times, it just feels like I just have no friends even if I am just a nice person. I think great people do come in your life, when you least expect it. All the best in your apartment search :). ~ Fellow Introvert

Happy bỉthday Hannah! This may sound a bit contrite but you are young, you get to experience living in different places for work first hand. Enjoy the experience and then decide what's best for you in the long run then go for it! Good luck to you Hannah! Last but not least, I came to a conclusion a long time ago that I am my own best friend. I can rely on myself. Granted I do have a lot of friends but I don't rely on others to make me happy. You make / create your own happiness.

Have you seen a counselor or psychologist recently? That might not be a bad idea. I’m just some random person on RU-vid but looking at your videos from Silicon Valley vs Canada, looks like you deteriorated. I just felt like maybe you need some more help or someone to talk to. Depression or any kind of mental/psychological health issues is real evil, it can eat you up slowly.

This "dream" of yours is actually a nightmare. I just lost my younger brother suddenly at 33 years old. I believe he died from the stress his job gave him. Life is too short for this kind of nonsense. Go be around your family or friends. Have a relationship. Have fun. What I’m saying is take care of yourself spiritually, physically, and emotionally. They try to make you think working yourself to death or following your "dream" is the way to live. The only thing that matters is love and family. Don’t let them try to convince you otherwise. It will come full circle back to that anyway whether you like it or not.

It could very easily just be someone who saw the apartment during the day, liked it, applied, and got approved for it overnight. With how high-demand Silicon Valley housing is, some listings can come down in a matter of hours.

I'm so confused. This woman is living out of her car like she's broke but she has a salary job, eating good food, dressing nice, and traveling to expensive places in her instagram posts. Therefore, she has money but is living in her car because of her dog? Something doesn't add up. There's no way every single place in the entire city will not give her a home just because she has a dog.
