    Unpopular opinion: living alone is the best thing ever. No one bothers you & you can do what you want 😎🍷
  • Living alone is an art that only a fraction of us can strive for and enjoy.....Lana is definitely one of them and me too!
  • I moved out when I was 19. I couldn't wait to leave my hometown and move to a big city, all by myself. I was just sick and tired of everyone, especially my family haha! At first I enjoyed my single apartment life, but quickly became bored. I lived in an apartment complex with mainly families and younger people sharing their flats. I lived alone in my apartment and felt quite isolated, sad and lonely (I am an introvert!), especially with all these people around me living with their friends / families, having parties etc. I moved back home after three years. I am "still" living with my family (I am 24 years old now), but I appreaciate having family nearby so much more, especially since Covid happened. I am more outgoing and just overall happier, because I know that I need company in order to live a fulfilled life. We are social creatures after all!

    The real you is what you think when you are alone. No clutter, no distractions, you are real you. Kudos to you Lana. Even I loved alone during Covid - One of the good experiences
  • I'm at a point in my life where I don't even know if I want to be alone or share a house (with friends or a special person).... it's weird.
    The only thing I've noticed is that more and more I'm more alone, more depressed, having a harder time deciding what I want (in anything).... basically staying in my bubble.
    Sometimes I want to get out of that bubble because I see that I can't go on like this but then I remember how good it is to have my peace.
    Honestly I'm lost in this huge crazy world. Obviously with these high living costs here in England I can't do much that i would love to do.
    Tips and opinions are very welcome haha
  • @fridawaywell
    I moved to Stockholm a year ago now and the freedom of not being tied down to a specific place, country, town etc. is really freeing. I'm so happy you have supportive friends to allow you the space for this chapter in your life!
  • @itsmarp
    hi Lana, I love your content but I really don't support your decision to work with a brand like Temu which can't be producing these products ethically or paying their workers well if their items are that low of a price. Please consider what brands you promote with more care 🥲Aside from that, wishing you and Fred luck on your mission of finding a cosy place you can call your home soon ✨
  • @laure6623
    Came right on time. I'm currently in my lasy highschool year and 3 months from now I'm moving away from my parent's home. The idea is scary yet thrilling. This has helped me to be more hopeful and positive because I'd still get a long way when it comes to living. I can't wait to have my own journey!
  • Ahh can’t wait to watch this!! I have been doing YouTube for almost 2 years now, and you have been an inspiration to keep going with my channel despite the challenges in between 🫶 Sending love ❤
  • @nevarius9010
    I found your channel a few years ago when you first started making videos, haven't watched in a long time, circled back around and wow you've grown, great job.
  • @knightsatin
    I have lived alone for four years now and I can say that I have become used to it now and I am happy to be in this position although the circumstances leading up to it were not good. I can relate to much of what you talk about in this video. Hope you find the place that's right for you and Fred soon 😊
  • @thekarsdraws
    Living alone is a dream and is still a goal of mine. I love your editing and the music you pick for this video. Good luck in finding a new place or home with Fred.
  • @404_04_
    Lana, the music selection and video editing are great, as always!
  • @indigo_diary
    Lana, this was soo cinematic! I felt like I was watching a TV show episode :) good luck on finding your dream home!
  • The videos you create have such a soothing and peaceful effect on me.

    Also, good luck with the apartment hunting. I bet you'll find exactly what you are seeking for. 🙂
  • I don't know why but, your videos make me feel like I'm home. No matter how stressed and far from home. Continue your beautiful life 🤍❤️🖤
  • @dagmarh2583
    Can definitely relate to the 'hit or miss' when it comes to roommates.. 😅 I think I've seen it all (except with a significant other). I've now been living alone for two years and it's the best thing ever!! Someone has to be veeery special for me to move in together 😂 Loved the video Lana!
  • @redbison6417
    People think somthing weird is going on and say I must be lonely when I tell them I live alone when they have no idea it's my absolute solitude.
