Move Out Vlog: Moving Out of my Parents' House at 23

[@ivymcleod2438]

Sometimes it's not the house you're sad to leave, it's the feelings you're leaving behind. I was older than you when I moved out, mainly because I stayed with my parents to take care of my grandma when she had Alzheimer's. That was 6 years ago and it was hard to leave that home behind because of the memories and the love that I felt while I was there. But moving on is what we all need and it's necessary to start making your own life. But it's a wonderful experience!

The day you moved out of college you wore that same exact outfit. A full circle moment. I wish you the best of luck and praying for all the good things on this new chapter.

[@GracieOConnor]

wait! stop this right now, I didn't realize that! full circle moment!!!

[@simplyboppingK]

Moving out is sad, but at the same time, living in your own apartment is SO nice.

[@angala4018]

My son is going to be 24 and still lives with me and I’m totally fine with it and I’m sure your parents are so happy to have you with them for so long. Good luck on your adventures with your boyfriend.

trash bag tip! Put the clothes in the bag the other way, then use the bag ties to tie around the base of the hook of the hanger. Then you can reuse the bag since there's no hole :)

[@aliharman9019]

I love doing it this way!!!

[@moniquegrace1601]

Something she would have appreciated knowing prior!!

[@GracieOConnor]

ah! honestly never even thought of doing it that way!!! next time for sure!

[@Mlemarie100]

Why did I never think that you could do it this way?! Feel stupid 🤣🤣

[@1280ss]

There are companies that can use your sweatshirts and t-shirts that are more sentimental and make quilts/blankets for you! I had so many that hold special memories that I couldn’t get rid of, but got made into quilts that you can cuddle under when watching tv or reading! Just a suggestion 😊

[@GracieOConnor]

Yes!! Thinking of doing this for all of my travel sweatshirts!

[@BroBray2966]

Awww, Gracie! I think it says A LOT that you are having these feelings about moving out. This means that your parents have done a great job and you enjoy being there. 😊 I have the same family dynamics. I’m 37 now; married with kids and I still LOVE going back home to visit! Congrats on the move and best of luck to you!!! I enjoy following your journey. ❤

[@oliviabrock7128]

It was a little bit shell shock for me. I lived in a dorm at college but I always came HOME for summer and breaks. It was an adjustment to have my own home, but I love it. I love having my own apartment, my own space. It truly is a big step.

[@GracieOConnor]

Exactly! Just a weird, but exciting, step!

[@JooUpdate]

good morning from bali my dear friend, thank for taking us with this beautiful video

[@michelledemers350]

So proud of you! I feel all of those emotions girl - just moved out last year, in the same stage of life as you, just trying to figure it out. It feels so so good to be on my own but yeah…I am grateful to have had the experience with my parents where I am also sad to move out, too! Hugs!!

[@claireduckworth7659]

I also have a bunch of clothes and t-shirts and some of my t-shirts I haven't worn in the last 6 months etc! I am so excited for you!

[@oliviacarey1471]

So Proud and Happy for you Gracie. I hope you have a wonderful new chapter in your life.🩷

[@readsandeats2263]

Of course you are going to have various emotions but know that your parents love you and support you. They are happy that you are going onto the next stage of your life. Enjoy making new memories in Tampa.

[@rebeccalynpytell]

When I moved out 2+ years ago I moved from NJ to your home region (south florida, delray!) it's wild leaving that chapter behind but so worth it (plus you're staying in the beautiful sunshine state!)

[@kristinemcguirk]

So excited to watch this new chapter of your life 🩷

[@MsKealoha808]

Best of luck to you! Mahalo for bringing us along your move out journey. 😊

[@KatieHawk22]

Never say never! I thought I had moved out for good. After 6 years of living on my own as an adult, at 26 years old, Covid hit and I moved home to restart my life/career. It can happen, but it’s an amazing feeling when you do move out and start on your own!!

[@rebeccacartier153]

Also.. if you bag from the bottom up and use the drawstrings to tie the hangers together at the top.. you contain alll the longer items, and you can reuse the garbage bags..

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Gracie, you are truly so beautiful from the heart. You are pure sunshine in human form. You are a very sweet soul who radiates unconditional pure kindness and love. Your endless positivity and smile are so, so extremely contagious. It is so obvious that God has such a purpose for your journey here on Earth. I deeply believe in Earth Angels and I truly believe that you are one of them. I wish you nothing but the absolute best as you enter this new chapter of your story. I am over the moon for you, Gracie. My heart is so giddy for you. May this new chapter pour unconditional laughter, happiest and most magical moments into your life. You are so deserving of the same amount of joy and love that you so freely give to others. I can't wait to see what this new chapter has in store for you, sweet girl. ❤

[@TheJuliemckee92]

Maybe with the special items that hold memories for you, you could take a picture of you in them and print them out as art and hang them up. You could then donate them. Just a thought.

[@dmdimitri]

I live right across the bridge from Tampa. You will love it. I’m so excited for you and your new chapter. I can’t wait for the moving vlogs. ❤

[@elizabethbigus7458]

Been watching you for so long and can’t wait for the next chapter! 🫶

[@GracieOConnor]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Billy33753]

Congrats!

[@Hope27946]

Hello 👋 please where is the jacket you’re wearing in your room from ? ( brown with black things on it ?

[@youart9797]

Good on you and good luck!

[@Thelifeofmegan9621]

I’m so excited for your next chapter in life. Love ya

[@elviraalemanvieyra4546]

im happy for you

[@stephenmaher2265]

I just moved a 5 bedroom house and it was terrible. I will pay the crazy price next time and save my back for fishing or mowing the lawn. You know the real important stuff😉

[@mickyscott4279]

New here and I wanted to say hope you have a great time in your new home and also happy holidays all the best for 2024 🎉❤

[@Tatyanamichelin]

I’m 21 and I’m still at home it’s so expensive to move even with a good job save money to move hopefully soon

[@Aliinthecotswolds]

In the U.K. it’s super normal for people to live at home until they are in their late 20s because renting is SO EXPENSIVE and it’s impossible to save for a house!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Gracie happy Friday morning and happy vlogmas day and so happy you moving out and you are grateful

[@elizabethbigus7458]

I have to ask, where is the jacket you were wearing from? It’s so cute

[@GracieOConnor]

Which one? haha

[@jordanaweiss9452]

Did you like growing up in south Florida?

[@snowygirl131]

I am 60 years old and I have NEVER* lived on my own. 🎉 I am in awe; CONGRATULATIONS! Would your parents be willingly to rent your room for $500/mo.? 😊 (ha ha!) I am still considering taking out a loan just so I can enjoy that wonderful feeling of My Own Place. * I once lasted 10 days before I was followed home and threatened.

[@JeanieBooz]

Since you will have your own place now are you planning on not traveling as much?

[@honoluluhelpers]

#Grateful 🙏 love you guys, thank you, #mahalo

[@suthiraphanassarat8669]

Why did you choose to live in Tampa?

[@maggiebranch9296]

Hey Gracie

[@stephenmaher2265]

I wouldn’t tell your new Florida neighbors your an Alabama fan as y’all kicked their unbeaten team out of the playoffs

[@stephenmaher2265]

Greta Thunberg is going to protest your garage bag hanging clothes trick😂

[@sarahjneve]

Gracie I’ve been working on building my KZbin channel and your videos have been such an inspiration for me!! I love your lifestyle, vibe, and relationship to god so much :)) hope you have a wonderful day ☺️

[@GracieOConnor]

Thank you so much!!

[@velvetgrant4570]

Hi. Ms. GRACIE O'CONNOR SUGGESTION AND VIEWER COMMENT HOWEVER: DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR APRON. TAKE CARE. AMEN.

[@Thelifeofmegan9621]

Hi Gracie, I would love to meet you one day I live in Sarasota south of Tampa.

[@rebeccacartier153]

Those bins are going to be heavy af.. As someone who has moved a lot, smaller more strategically packed boxes are better on your back, unless you’re hiring movers and you don’t give a crap.

[@GracieOConnor]

They actually weren't bad at all!

[@K.ART_vlog]

new friend ❤❤❤❤

[@amielawson8344]

Girl you had so much more room. You can pack that car to the top.

[@jenn3551]

she said shes back for christmas and will take the rest. I think she just doesn't want to deal with it all at once. I'd do the same if I could

[@anamegoeshere]

they should of kicked you out at the age of 18, but parents now days are weak like that and don't wanna see the son/daughter too be homeless

[@GracieOConnor]

clearly you're new here... this makes me laugh
