In my OPINION 😅, I think is important to have a difference of opinion. It's a learning experience in many ways. That being said, there are a huge percentage of people or content creators that have the same thought process. I don't think it's right for someone to put their life on the internet in front of millions of people and expect only good or positive opinions. And a definitely do not agree with people blocking others BECAUSE of that opinion. If someone were to have a "negative" or different opinion, it's just that, an opinion. I can't imagine what it would be like if everyone thought the same way, it's just not very realistic .Having said all that, it's just so happens that I love your channel, lol. But I did want to put that out there just because I feel it's important.

Open relationships are not my personal style but I really appreciated the way you talked about why you prefer them. It really made me think about how I have assumed so much about others who have open relationships. I’ve never really come across someone who I seem to have a parasocial relationship with explain to me reasons why they deem an open relationship as comfortable for them. I assumed that it was just about sex and other major intimate activities. You have shown me that there is so much more! As I said, it is not my cup of tea personally, but I can understand why it can be very comforting. Surrounding yourself in so much love and no restrictions being able to vibe in other peoples presents with no limitations or worries about affecting your primary “significant other“. Thank you so much for sharing Hannah. I know that that was vulnerable and you opened yourself up to a lot of hate from one-sided individuals. But… You also educated, intrigued, and enlightened people with open minds like myself! Thank you for being you. And thank you for being a little cozy corner of the Internet, I can retreat to in the deep dark night.

I’m an introvert so it’s been fun watching you. Been married 50 years and my husband is a contractor. Have I done any projects that you have no!! Has he showed me how to do any of that, no! But we we are old hippies and did the “back to the land” thing. Lived in old farm houses, learned how to grow our food and can it etc. live in a small town now in a 125 yr old house of which is a project. We have a bunch of raised beds in our back yard. Just love both of your places. Did have 3 kids of which I was a stay at home mom and homeschooled them. They are all doing fantastic which is great. Just keep being you.

The way you explained how you feel about openness made so much sense! Not silly at all. Ive identified as polyamorous for over 10 years and have learned a lot, even when I’m in a functionally monogamous relationship. For me it’s also about sharing your life with some one from like you said, full humanity. Openness has also been really healing for my anxious attachment style!

[@gremlingrandparent]

the way you're explaining open relationships is EXACTLY what me and my partner are like!! like we love each other so deeply and wholly, while also recognizing and celebrating crushes and feelings and attraction to people that aren't each other! like getting to talk about who we both think are cute or when we have a mutual crush, the giddy joy we both get from sharing that human experience together while also sharing the solid connection of committed partnership with each other is so wonderful for both of our brains. i know a lot of people with adhd and/or autism (myself included) that find this type of dynamic to be the most authentic and fulfilling!! for us, we call it non-monogamy, like we aren't just hyperfocused on one person for all of our relational needs, but we are also committed to each other as partners and friends and lovers, and whenever other people come through our lives that fulfill a need/desire/experience, we celebrate that for each other! tl;dr, i am the same, i see you and hear you, you are so valid, neurodivergent brains deserve relationships and experiences and lives that work for us, even if they aren't the "norm" 💕

[@ameliaheart5091]

Yes yes same I love this so much!!!❤ The excitement and sharing crushes part feels so full of love and cute and actually brings us closer together, it’s like your besties and lovers at the same time, I mean not ‘like’ we actually are… Me and my boyfriend (of 5 yrs) started being more and more open about this & exploring intimacy with others too recently, which is scary but also brings our relationship to a new level and opens our love evens more, because of the vulnerability, the trust, the deep love we feel first and foremost for eachother. 💖

"If other people are doing it, there's no reason I can't." I have lived my whole life thinking this same thought. It is really freeing, I'm 41, and there is now nothing I can't do for myself. I would encourage everyone to adopt this mindset 😊 💜💜💜

[@anbeban]

Polyamorous lady here, I'm a big fan of the term ethical non-monogamy. Open and honest communication, clear limits, frequent check-ins, etc. Not depending on one person to fulfill all romantic issues... we don't only have 1 friend, we have many. Having more than 1 doesn't mean we love the others any less. If we have a second child it doesn't mean that we stop loving the first one when we have the second one... so yeah. :) Makes perfect sense to me ;) Hugs

[@poeticposturing3850]

Thank you for bringing up "open relationships." I understand. People do assume open relationships are motivated by sex rather than intimacy. It feels like relationships in this society are an all or nothing proposition which is so sad. I love emotional connection and there are so many levels of connection between people. Love is the best part of life. While having sex with multiple people may not be for everyone, I think it's time we expanded our allowances for emotional connection, having the freedom to love those we love by spending time together, sharing talents, having deep and meaningful conversations, sharing experiences of life at a profound level. Love is not finite. Loving someone does not take away from other love relationships. Restricting connection and owning someone's heart is not love.

[@windingstars]

People who think poly relationships are all about sex are mistaken. What poly relationships are truly about are insecure attachment styles, a fundamental fear of commitment, a greener glass mentality, a fear of true intimacy and the vulnerability which comes with putting all your emotional eggs into one single romantic partner who is supposed to be your life partner. Polyamorous people aren't enlightened, they're lost and confused and Hannah is a perfect example, always traveling, always engaged in multiple projects, lack of a meaningful career, simply documenting a life devoid of purpose or true emotional connection that requires vulnerability and commitment. Just a mess. How many people can live like this? What would society look like if everyone lived like this? Sometimes society judges harshly for a reason.

[@hannafriesen5113]

i understand this conclusion, but don't you realize polyamorous people have already thought about all this already? maybe our pasts shapes us in ways that make certain lifestyles more fitting, less compromising to our authenticity. an insecure attachment style is not some illness, the past cannot be changed, but the present, more specifically an adults life, needs only adjustments that work. ps. this is a youtube channel, you dont actually know Hannah.

[@ShawnaLynnn]

When I refer to being in an open relationship I like to say “it’s about not wanting to put boundaries on the person I love the most”. Sometimes we are all in situations where we find ourselves with someone attractive and there aren’t any rules when it comes to my person. It’s less about sleeping around and more about being open to all possibilities.

Hanna, I really love the way you described not being closed off to the rest of the world just because there's this one person you're interested in. All through my 20s and most of my 30s, I would be VERY closed off, scared almost, to be open to people and I know I missed out on some many beautiful friendships and experiences. Most of the time I wasn't even in relationship but sometimes I was, and I would close myself off and not really get to know other people. It's a silly way to live your life. My advise to others is be honest with your partner if you have one, and certainly honor any agreements you each have put your trust into - but don't close yourself off. Connecting with other humans doesn't just mean sexually. Be open to conversations, common ground, debates, whatever. I love my relationship and life now but thinking back there are so many times I wonder what if- I had just been open.

Hi Hannah, what a lovely Q and A. You are so articulate and your being comes shining through. ❣️ I tuned in because I wanted to hear what you had to say about open relationships and it was wonderful to hear you on that subject. I felt the essence of it was that people need the freedom to be all that they want to/were meant to be. I feel that love is about giving your beloved the support to become and vice versa. Although my preference is a monogamous relationship, I don't think our intentions are so different. Anyway, that's my two cents.

You inspire me. I appreciate you and your lovely outlook on life. I'm so happy you are doing well. Forget what others say. They don't actually know you. You're unapologetically you. Please keep being that. Your videos are my favorite part of the week

[@padensheumaker116]

This discussion on open relationships is so validating. I've always felt the exact same way and never been able to put it into words or explain it as well as this. So good to know there are other people out there with the same view on relationships.

[@ashleyh8283]

Same vibes. Same feelings. Especially where Hannah was explaining that she wants to share her excitement of meeting new, cool people with someone she has a deep bond with already. It’s not about sex, and sex shouldn’t be the only intimate thing about a single person. Vulnerability - that’s what is craved. It satisfies the need to belong and be loved.

[@ElizabethSollazzo-Daland]

Good luck finding partners that fit open relationships

[@ameliaheart5091]

@@ElizabethSollazzo-Dalandwhat are you saying? I am experiencing exactly this with my partner of 5 years now and it’s something that took a long time to slowly evolve and come up but that we both want to explore and feels so beautiful and special to both want to do and still both want to commit to our relationship 100%.

[@AstridVerbree]

@@ElizabethSollazzo-Daland I think you don't realise how many people in the world are actually looking for open relationships/polyamory! Me and my partner of 7 years have been in an open relationship right from the start, and it was immediately succesful and felt so natural and good for both of us. It strengthened our trust in each other experiencing time and time again that even though we had beautiful experiences with other people, it never compromised how we felt about and treated each other. We have many friends that are poly and in open relationships, and we even help people that are interested in exploring opening up but don't know how to go about it. I dare even say that it's becoming more popular and normalised! Just because you don't know many/any people, doesn't mean they're not out there (;

[@godsgif232]

Same!!!

[@darlashumate7498]

Hannah, you are a breath of fresh air that I totally enjoy watching. You are an inspiration and I am in total awe of you. I am so sorry that people judge and criticize and actually share that with you. You have given me the strength to say I can do something because you are not afraid to try. Never change and know that you are more loved than you know!

[@galamehl9832]

Your answer about dealing with bullies was perfect 👌. I fail to understand the mentality of these people who spend their lives searching for someone to denigrate where they can hide in anonymity. Their lives are pathetic if that makes them happy. You are awesome and just live your dreams and cut them out. ❤❤❤❤

[@juliaroles7693]

I haven't tuned in to your channel for a bit but something made my click on this video. I'm starting a new job tomorrow and feel the expected mix of feelings...hearing about you challenging yourself with your discovery flight is helping me find the audacity to show up anyway. I know I'll be thinking 'Hannah flew a plane! you can do this' in all of my uncomfortable and insecure training moments to come. Thank you.

[@RymVri108]

On open relationships: You just described my relationship and it's amazing.

[@Brooke1899]

Hannah, you are doing a lot with your life. You inspire me. You are creative and smart, and your willingness to learn new things is awesome. Nasty people will always hate. Just dont forget you're a smart young, intelligent woman. You can do anything you put your mind to. 🌻 you're a sunflower growing in the sun.

[@Megflurry]

About the „Open relationship“ Part: I can really relate to that and it really helped me understand myself and realise my own values and the things I look for in a relationship. I just felt a litte alone with my struggles through out the last couple of years and your Channel really helped me understand, respect and love myself. To become a better person and figuring out what I want my life to be like. Thank you so much for just being you and sharing your experiences and thoughts with us ❤

[@danjas.599]

i hope flying was fun! thank you for sharing your thoughts with us :) a friend said something about her open relationship that stuck with me "i'm able to be my flirty self without having to close myself off from certain interactions just because they don't fit the relationship norm - it doesn't have to lead anywhere and i'm not looking but i'm free to be whoever i want to"

Young lady, you are an amazing human! The things that you have accomplished in the few years I have been following you are extraordinary, to say the least! No one on this planet sitting behind their keyboard should ever dim your light, even the slightest. Your content makes me feel like anything is possible, and I'm an old gal! Keep being your wonderful badass self! ❤ OH, and please let us know how your flight was.

[@RandalTurnerMKULTRA]

Well said Hannah :-) The secret to enjoying life is not being too self conscious allowing what others think interfere with your happiness, remember it is your life not their life and what you think is all that matters, I know you and know you are a good person at heart that cares about others which is why these comments can get to you, don't let them, these people commenting negatively don't send you money or do thing to help you do these videos, the ones sending you support and watching all your videos are the ones who like you just the way you are :-) Have fun dammit!

[@meaghanphelps5897]

[@bernadettewolf8069]

People are just jealous because you are an industrious woman. You just 'do' and some have no ambition for anything, so they put you down cause they can't 'do'. Hope that made sense 😅 mostly people so enjoy your videos. You are a wonderful young woman. (Gosh, I've never said so much lol)

[@brghid]

So much hate directed towards Hannah can be summed up by jealously! Heck I adore her and even sometimes I find myself being jealous of her life, so I self reflect and realized how hard Hannah works for her life. Made me work harder in my personal life and now I'm not jealous, just inspired (:

[@marianadeboice2659]

Hannah..you are everything! I have watched you when you were van living….to now… you do you, my sweet Hannah! There is nothing that you cannot accomplish! Never give your good energy to the creeps who are trying to burst your bubble!

[@missychan63]

I love your chat videos! I'm a 60-year-old grandma who's living vicariously through you and currently looking for my own little cabin in the woods.... You don't have to share anything with us that you don't choose to. I would watch if all you did was skip through your garden, lol. Please keep the projects coming though, for purely selfish reasons- I'm pretty handy but I will admit you've taught me a few things and I'm sure you could teach all of us a few more. You don't have to take us on vacation, you don't have to share the private side of things but please please PLEASE continue to share the projects! As far as nasty comments go, I find myself sometimes speaking my mind when my mind doesn't need to be spoken- and I actually go back and delete the comment within a few minutes of posting it. Most times I don't mean to be hateful or hurtful, it's just something that comes out of my mouth and when I re-read it, I realize the emotion is lost in the text. "Delete comment" 😂. Just keep living your life and if the haters feel the need to be haters, send them love. ❤ (You can send them love while flipping them the bird... One does not negate the other😊.)

[@sahanjay]

Thoughtful comment. Good luck with the cabin search.

[@rogereich5444]

Sounds like you are absolutely in love with being open to love, no matter when and with whom it may occur. I do not think that poses any kind of problem for you, but for others ... That may be a different situation. It is lind of like having an open spirit when it comes to feeling and forming connections...each relationship can offer something beautiful, even if it is short-lived. For you, it sounds as if less-structured and less-encumbered relationships is the way you need to experience life. Truly, a free-spirit encapsulates you! It is wonderful to know yourself that well.

I’m in an open relationship too and hands down it’s the best one I’ve been in. I can tell him anything and vice versa, the space of honesty and realism feels so good compared to how possessive and jealous past relationships have felt. Keep on keeping on Hannah, you just keep getting cooler 🖤

Awh Hannah sending you lots of love ❤You inspire me so much. I'm sorry you don't often feel comfortable talking much on camera, I hope you know that for every shitty person commenting there's hundreds of people that support you. As someone who works full time in a not very fulfilling job, your answer about finding time for projects was very important for me to hear because I definitely can beat myself up for not feeling like I have the energy for my hobbies and ngl - I teared up a little. Thank you for being here, good luck on that plane :)

[@WovenWilderness]

I am of the opinion that we are all different people and if people don't like me I don't take it personally I have people who I don't enjoy as much and that is ok, I am not rude I just choose not to interact and that should be what others should choose to do as well. There is no need to hate watch go somewhere else it isn't hard to do the internet and world is very large we can all coexist.

[@crazydoxylady7169]

At almost 62 years old, I have learned the hard way that most if not all of the negative comments about me are just jealousy. I am sure it's that way for you. Jealousy and envy....just keep doing what you like to do and think is right.

[@eliannakremer5414]

Hannah, In regards to what you said ab open relationships, I honestly see that, in my eyes, as a normal healthy relationship. Feeling attraction and appreciating people is human. I can't imagine being in a situation where I found a girl attractive and couldn't tell my boyfriend about it. I understand you wouldn't want your partner to go off and leave you for someone else, but that's not what I'm talking about. There's a difference between being attracted to someone and pursuing someone. It's healthy to have a partner you can't tell anything to. That openness and communication is the most important part of a healthy relationship

[@Lemontoke]

This viewer is someone who stumbled upon your channel and has been a distant best friend (stranger) ever since 🖤!!! The way you live your life and share your story through videos is so inspiring. I’ve thought about doing KZbin and I still do but I know exactly what you mean with the struggle with morals and sharing personal things with the internet. I can see why you see the end of your KZbin career or have a solid image of what the end could look like. Thank you for sharing so many helpful tips for us younger girls to learn from! Ps idk who asked about the Indiana dunes but it’s a cute beach you’d love it ! I try to go a few times a year and climb the dunes or go into the clay pit trails. Be safe flying !!

I'll never agree with some of your views on life, but that's OK. I dont have to agree with everything you believe to love watching your life. I love the way you brain takles your life. I love that you're enjoying your life. I've never understood people getting angry... because someone they watch does something they disagree with. I'm not a fan of motorcycles because of a family tragedy, but I love that you love them. I watch you renovating and wish I had had the guts to take on those challenges when I had the chance... Please just keep doing you.

You have been an important escape for me during the rough time of writing my dissertation and also an inspiration for my life after. Also we're both gonna be 30 this year 🎉 Also yes to how you described the open relationship. That is so important to me too and just having the freedom. I am currently I the process of learning what my view and model for a relationship is and how that is quite different from the typical monogamous-marriage-house-kids model. And just like you I am not a fan (for myself) of sleeping around and I quite literally cannot cause I need to genuinely know and like a person for that hahah Also thank you for sharing all this with us :)

[@carinaekstrom1]

I used to have the same concept as Hannah about open relationships. It seems it should be that way, but experience showed me that it gets too complicated. Too many desires and needs collide. It can probably work for some people in rare cases, but I gave up on it. At 65 I am now living a single life and thriving. I prefer other animals to humans in my close vicinity. But I love the communications I can have on social media, so I'm not a total recluse. Each to their own.

[@JaTon]

My husband once asked me, “Why would you care what some stranger, who you don’t even know, thinks about you?” It really made me realize that I shouldn’t care. ❤ Now and then things will creep in but for the most part- I try to remember that.

If you store your motorcycle over the winter it's best to winterize it before you do If not the wall that piston will get rust pits in it That will reduce the life of your motor by a lot So it's best to run the motor for a while coating the piston wall And then draining the gas tank and the fuel line The ethanol that is in today's gas now Eats away at the lining of the piston leaving a ring around the piston. Putting stabil in your gas doeent do it. Using old gas from last year also can damage the engine. Best use fresh come spring.

Same thing with weed whackers and gas mowers. If you store in temp controlled garage then no you dont .

[@ScarlettThunder]

I totally vibed with your take on open relationships. I felt so overwhelmed by the expectations put on me by past partners, which inevitably killed the relationship. I'm reluctant to tell anyone I'm in a polyamorous relationship now because people have such strong opinions on it but I've honestly never been happier.

[@gardenwonder7977]

People who are desperate get into those relationships. It’s horrible for women and not natural. If a man knocked up 10 women at one time, he couldn’t possibly take care of them all over a 9 month period to make sure those babies make it! This whole lie of course men spread because they need sex 24/7. I haven’t in 2 years and I’m semi attractive. I think it’s pathetic women lower themselves to that. Men are basically laughing at it. As a woman it’s being a free prostitute and men even though they’ll never say it absolutely LOVE its free. Women get it free anytime.
