[@apriaspeaks1427]

I’m 29 years old and I got married when I was extremely young and we have 2 kids (still together) However, I definitely feel like I need a solo trip to understand and love myself more without being mommy or Wifey! With turning 30 soon this story was extremely inspiring ♥️ I appreciate these kinds of stories so much because young adults need to hear them, it’s a very gray area that is always missed between your late 20’ and early 30’s. I needed this Thanks Adrienne 🥰

[@karentrejo1714]

I know what you mean I married young and feel like I missed out on my journey in getting to know myself alone. I always followed my husbands advice or did what he said. Now that I’m 31 I see life completely different. I went on my own solo trip to Mexico last month in September. I had anxiety at first because I missed my son. He is 7. But then later felt strange. I went from living with my parents to living with my husband. So that was the first time ever to just walk around with no one to get to or nothing to do. Just like Adrianne said. That she could just walk to wherever and no have a time or place to get to with no one to give her influence on choices. It’s strange but freeing. I only went for 5 days but I’m planning to do it again, I just don’t know when. It’s definitely needed. I lost myself along time ago…. And life just passed me by. Can’t let it pass me by no more and can’t put other people before me. I have to take care of me too.

[@ajemroberts3903]

Hence the reason why adults used to say take your time. But nooo, we grown, we know better 🙄. I don’t think young people should get married before 26yrs, the male brain only fully develop at 26yrs. What’s the rush? Maybe I may treat myself to a weekend get away in the near future

[@DetroitRed03]

How old were you when you got married and had your first kid? I am 27 and i feel like i should’ve been married with my first baby now. 😔

“How I fell is love with myself in the City of Love” was beautifully said. ❤️

[@mur52691]

Would you mind sharing some of the signs or things you felt that made you end your last engagement? Maybe that's not worth a video; but, seeing how you and Jeannie both ended significant relationships only to find yourselves in new and amazing ones, I think it would be so helpful to hear your thoughts on how you knew to let the old thing go.

[@sephoramayindu6076]

Yh that would be a great video, it would be nice if they do a video on it together

[@chaseabston56]

Yea ! All Things Adrienne and Hello Hunnay should do a collab 😍

[@omphilemoerane2569]

I don't think they should do that. It wouldn't be fair cause their exes do not have a similar platform to tell their side. I'm sure you have at least one ex who moved on from you cause they felt you're not the one. How would you like it if they had a video on the net detailing to complete strangers why?🙁

@@sarahjay5484 but they have given details already. Jeannie even showed us the couch where she told Freddie she wanted a divorce and that she told him by basically blurting it out to him. Adrienne has told us about Lenny and the key to his apartment that he didn't want to give her and how she basically had to push for every next step in their relationship. She even told us about the fact that her sister tipped her off that Lenny only planned her proposal on the day he actually proposed to her and that it made her feel very sad and like an afterthought because for everyone else in his life he puts in a lot of effort, time and thought when doing something for them. That's A LOT of information. What more do you want to know?😯😯😯

[@coffeetea8577]

I moved to UK two years ago for university. Being alone and independent, especially during Covid made me grow up and so much braver, and last summer I spent 3 weeks in Scotland. Went to all the major cities, took the bus everywhere and just explored to my hearts content. Doing a major trip like that at 22 was such a privilege and I felt so empowered. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life, it’s AMAZING 😍😍. Paris is my next solo trip, here’s to me going next summer! ❤️

I did my first solo trip 3 years ago at 25 to Thailand. I tell everyone to do it !

I’m here crying 🥺 I’ve been in such a funk for over a week. Watching your video helped. It’s crazy because my sisters have recently been telling me I need time for myself but, I don’t know how. I depend on my loved ones for happiness and don’t even realize it. I do now but, it’s so hard to figure it out on my own. I have a son and this morning he was having a rough time getting up to go to school. As I’m helping him get ready I just wanted to cry because I had to find the words to get me up and going. To motivate him. ♥️Why’s it so hard to do it for myself 🥺 Thanks Adrienne 🙏🏼

Awwe I love your story, it is so warming and interesting. I can relate to your story . I was an adult starting college too. But I knew it was some thing I had to do for myself and I can say I did graduate with a bachelor's degree in Science. I love hearing your story, thanks for sharing . I also love your testimony about going on trip and falling in love with yourself, yes i plan to take a small trip to enjoy myself and pray to my heavenly father. And yes I am single and can make it happen. Love your channel

Adrienne girl you are so pretty and that has to be so exciting 💜✌🏼

[@tiaramccall983]

I love this level of transparency! ❤️

[@hillaryr6396]

I love hearing success stories of ppl pushing outside of their comfort zones. It's encouraging to hear that temporary embarrassment can lead to so much growth! This was deep❤

[@aissam.2420]

We love you Adrienne ! (And you are right Paris isnt overrated 😅) Bisous de Paris 😘🇫🇷

[@JesusmyRedeemer1]

This is why I love you Adrienne

[@lalavargo]

Living through you right now Adrienne. Thank you for sharing! I had a love once who brought me on a surprise trip to Paris and it was the most romantic experience ever!!! Still such a special place to me too. My life is different now, but if I could have that 'eat, pray, love' experience I'd love to go to Paris or Venice x

What an incredible experience for you. And let me tell you, I loooove Danny's song. I heard Anne Murray's version my whole childhood because of my grandpa.

[@fannybonilla4310]

My favorite video from all things Adrienne! This inspires me to find myself and be reborn I guess. Thanks for sharing!

[@ssweet0dreamss]

One of my greatest experiences was studying abroad in Switzerland. So many things you said resonated with me deeply. Thank you for sharing!

Studying fashion must have been so much fun! 😍

[@essence1604]

Loved the video. I’m currently 26 and have the opportunity to do a study abroad program in the UK this summer for a month. I’ve really been on the fence about going because of the cost as well as being there alone, but this video help put things into perspective. Thank you ❤️

Go I’m 26 now and this is my dream go love

[@notamonkey1690]

Do it! Im 30 and wish i had the opportunity.

[@sweetytweety0011]

I’m from the Uk. The education system is amazing. Come over!

[@iamlenie]

I relate to this so much. I had the opportunity to move to London for law school when I was 35. So the story you shared in feeling old and “what am I doing here” really hit home. It was the adventure of a lifetime and I still sometimes wonder if it was all a dream

[@msguccidiamonds]

I can totally relate. I went to Ghana alone to visit a long time pen pal for my 34th birthday two years ago and it was the most enlightening experience of my life in the best way possible.

[@greymatters4565]

Saying this notifications makes my day is an understatement

[@smurray1007]

This is incredible! I am also a proponent for a traveling alone I definitely want to have the courage to go out of the country but I have gone on two trips by myself and I’m going to continue that tradition!

[@tiffanyc8307]
