Why I celebrate EVERY HOLIDAY ALONE & my Tesla *BREAK-IN* nightmare | Hannah’s Diaries

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! Welcome to the 4th entry of my diary. Being alone during the holidays might seem odd to some people, but as a first-generation immigrant, it's normal.
For me, the toughest part of being a 1st-gen immigrant isn’t the grind of school, work, or going to the hospital alone. It's the stark contrast during the holidays, celebrating everything alone while others have their families nearby. When people ask, 'What are your holiday plans? Any fun activities with your family?' it stresses me out.

At first, I tried explaining that I don't have family here, but it led to awkwardness and some started treating me differently. Nowadays, I just smile and nod, saying, 'Yeah, spending time with the family,' playing along with the expected script. Funny, right? I was trying to fit into this picture of happiness everyone else seems to have.
'Am I happy?' It's a question I ask myself often. I used to think, 'Once I get that degree, I'll be happy,' or 'Once I work at that company, I'll be happy,' or 'Once I live in that city, I'll be happy.' But I realized that none of these external factors determine my happiness.
I think this is also partly why I started living in my car. I wanted a simpler life and wanted to figure out what makes me happy. It might sound extreme, but stripping away the noise of everyday life has given me space to think. No TV before bed, no endless scrolling on my phone. Just me and my thoughts. It's simpler, but somehow I feel like I’m getting closer to finding the answers to what I truly want in life.
I think happiness is something we define for ourselves. Through this journey, I'm starting to look inside for validation, realizing I've always had what I needed right here. I have always been complete.

Life itself is a journey, a journey to overcome challenges in everyday life as someone who lives in a semi truck most of the year driving all over America and who doesn't own or rent a home, I fully understand the choice to break free of a system that keeps people... for lack of a better word oppressed. We all like the creature comforts of a house or apartment the ease of access to the things we need daily electricity internet running water.. these thing make life easier but to get those things from the system you must work and pay.. it's a never ending cycle... trying to free ones self from this is not a task for weak the challenges that must be faced are long and difficult.. I applaud your strength and fortitude and drive to achieve this.. True happiness comes from within and in order to find it you must truly know yourself the problem you are facing in finding doesn't come from you necessarily in comes from the fact you are looking for validation from others either in life's decisions or at work and while this simple and small thing will bring happiness to you it will never last the true happiness you seek can only be found inside.. or if possible next to your significant other.. both of these is difficult to achieve I have been trying for the last 10 yrs since my last relationship to find this inner happiness there are days when I am happy and days when I am not..like you living off the grid away from humanity up in the mountains by a creek or river would be ideal daily human interactions is a must as humans we were never meant to be alone and while we can do it.. it impacts our mental health which in turns lowers our happiness and increases our sadness.. this is not the way.. on a personal note there is absolutely nothing wrong with your accent I personal find it relaxing and if other have a problem with it we'll... that's a them problem not a you problem embrace your accent and never forget who you are dont let other tell you how to live how to talk how to act live life by your own rules and standards not the world's... the people of the world are not living your life you are and don't forget it on your weekends take trips go to see new and exciting thing don't just sit there go out into the world and actually see it.. as someone who has seen this country from one ocean to the other and has been in every state there are many things to go and see.. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and one day like I hope to find that happiness I am looking for as well

[@myxsys]

What's your perspective on God?

[@tommy6113]

Having an accent is not an issue and don't convince yourself otherwise. I also immigrated to the US in my late teens and at an age when I cannot get rid of my accent completely. It never stopped me from anything, nor making plenty of friends including Americans. It certainly did not impact me at work. Not feeling accepted comes from within ourselves with insecurities that we have to overcome. I think the majority of issues you are having stem from the current living in a car situation - you seem to want to normalize and rationalize it, but it simply is not. How can you build on friendships and the normal life routines like this? In my humble opinion pursuing a dream is one thing, but to be homeless for it is not worth it. Instead your work experience can be applied in more reasonably cost of living cities - Why not move out of LA and look for a tech job in another state/city? There are plenty of opportunities..... this situation is completely in your control - if you take it. This is not about being accepted, but about life choices.

[@TermiteValley]

Thanks for sharing this. It underscores the comment I just left. It's really sad and damaging when people think they are not accepted over an accent or a background. Because for the most part it's just not true. Yes, there are some racist people around. But most people are not.

[@_Nethma_]

[@zestiny_]

didnt she litterally say that she was bullied because of her accent? Clearly its a factor in how people treat you

[@thernandez873]

Hannah....I think your amazing and your accent is part of who you are and your heritage. Don't loose that to feel accepted. people should accept you as you are. My husband and I think it out be interesting to hang out out, I'm sure we could about each other's culture.

[@KKrusher]

You only pass through this life once. When you get old, all you'll have left are your memories. So make them good.

[@nc8645]

I think you’re not rejected. You just did not encounter the right people because your work environment is full of different types of people - closed off people. And most of the time you’re there. I bet you, if you go and join a sports club or hiking club, you’ll find friends in a matter of second! So don’t feel too low, that place is just a tiny place on this earth. Explore other types of places … from my point of view, you’re the type of a person that is not scared to venture out. You’ll one day become CEO of a company.

[@thawzinlinglatt]

You should meditate Hannah. Happiness comes from the inside validation, not from the outside validation. You are now on the journey of self-sufficiency. Take care.

[@xxxxx845]

The problem is that we only understand it after search external pleasures. 😅

[@nattviktoria]

She seems like a very meditative person with a lot of insight.:)

[@Andrew.PJMsia]

Happiness is very subjective. I always think of this quote; I was sad I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet. This brings me down to earth and tells me to always be grateful for what I have, not what I don't.

[@danhatim173]

That is Confucius.

[@adamli2013]

Fortunately, this time, I didn't see you crying again. As for happiness, I believe it doesn't necessarily require the approval of those around us. I think being free, maintaining curiosity about life, always having new and exciting ideas, trying new things, and exploring-these are also forms of happiness in life. On a tiring journey, we occasionally need to give ourselves a moment of relaxation and comfort, just as life has both happy and unhappy moments. Living independently requires constantly ensuring your safety. Keep it up, girl chasing happiness and freedom!😋

[@crystalynnbearr]

That woman who wrote that comment should be ashamed! There’s absolutely no reason why we wouldn’t accept you!

[@campingwithsamantha5114]

As I grow older I realize it’s better not to have any friends than to have “good time friends” who only use you then discard you when you are no longer useful to them and I’m saying this based on my experience . I’m also an Asian immigrant . The only validation I need is from God. Having personal relationship with God is so much better than having meaningless relationship with thousands of people. I suggest you join church organizations, find true meaning in life and meet genuine people, I pray for you. I have survived all these years and you will too

[@chickolat]

i don't think its your accent. From the little recording you showed with the interaction with the other person, you kept talking about yourself or came across as if you are somehow 'better' and you didn't ask the other person any question. People make friends with people that can relate or share experience. You seem to 'other' yourself.

[@ogamawab]

hi. i think i'd be a little uncomfortable if someone were filming while we were trying to have a heart-felt one-on-one conversation. do you maybe want to leave the camera behind when you hang out with friends?

[@lifeisbeautiful7452]

This is a great point and why I would specifically avoid wanting to be friends with a content creator. I’ve had some friends like this in the past and the constant needed to film every component of our day is quite irritating, especially as someone who values privacy. Not everyone wants to be a character in your film and this could be a reason why people avoid hanging out if you’re unable to do so without the need to include them to validate your public life by showing us you have friends.

[@premkaur2619]

hi from singapore! i wish i could be friends with you, you seem like an amazing person!! on weekends you could try to pass the time by trying out these, its what i do sometimes: - going to parks/dog parks - rollerblade which you like - visit library, museums (dog friendly ones) - outdoor/indoor cinemas - leisure cycling at the beach - join a painting class, cooking class, yoga - learn a new language - hiking - indoor rock climbing - martial arts?? - netflix & ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies with cold milk HAHAHA (i'd recommend watching gilmore girls, new amsterdam, the good doctor, the blacklist, anne with an e, gossip girl, the 100, you, friends, lucifer, the rookie, never have i ever, the gentlemen, the originals, the night agent, stranger things & prison break)

The speech starting at 2:34; "If we stop spending, then we're just free." and "How can I exit the system?". I like your thoughts about 'Escape the Rat Race'. It goes by many names: downshifting, F.I.R.E., Mottainai (Japanese: もったいない), Buddha-like (Chinese: 佛系), and a hundred more. I'm interested to hear more. Like, what's next? I'm a 5th+ gen German/Mixed-Euro immigrant (a white guy). One of my favorite parts of life in America is that we all (almost all) come from somewhere else. Some American-born people don't like certain accents, and some don't care. I for one like hearing foreign accents because I think those people often have interesting stories. Also, I like the feeling of being a proper global citizen.

True happiness is a journey, let's explore it together. Lol True happiness often involves a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and contentment with one's lifestyle and choices. True happiness, for me, is a blend of pursuing meaningful work that aligns with my passions, nurturing close relationships with family and friends, and exploring new places and cultures through travel. It's about finding balance between personal growth and enjoying the present moment. Each day, I strive to create moments of joy and fulfillment, whether it's through my work as a nurse helping others, exploring nature, or simply spending quality time with loved ones. What about you? How do you define true happiness in your life, good Hannah

i relate to you so much on "freedom is the end goal". making friends at work can be difficult, especially as a female in tech/engineering, and even more so in a big company. i too struggle with forming connections especially as an introvert, some days feeling like an outcast. i think it's totally normal and ok to not make any friends at work, just having some friendly acquaintances is good enough. there's no point forcing a connection with someone, it should be natural right? i've been enjoying your car series so far, keep going and all the best :)

Being uncomfortable allows you to grow and experience new things in life. Every decision has it's benefits and drawbacks and it's easy to get lost in the thought that some other decision would have been "better" when in fact it has it's downsides as well. A prime example is you leaving to come to North America, life could be easier back home with family and friends, but you would have family obligations and wouldn't have the level of freedom to explore the world as you currently are. It's not easy and either way you go with your decisions there is lost opportunity.

[@Jwya225-r6m]

Hey Hannah, I have been watching some vanlife style videos lately because I love the traveling aspect of them. This morning, I saw the thumbnail to the 2nd video in your diary and watched that one as well. You said something in that video that I could relate with. When you started talking about the reasons that led you to living this lifestyle, specifically about all of the materialism of trying to stay in or work towards luxury apartments, events, so many things that many of us believe to be important and work overtime to achieve, I paused for a moment. Not only do I agree with your sentiment, I also went through something similar in my life, especially with my health. Both physically and mentally. Something good came from it though. It was like a slow drip, but eventually, someone came to my rescue. A video about the gospel of Jesus Christ popped up in my KZbin recommended playlist one morning. I grew up primarily being an atheist so had this been in the past, I would have ignored it. However, my life was at such a pivotal point that I genuinely figured “why not, I don’t have much left to lose”. About six months after that, I just kind of broke down one night because I was genuinely afraid that I wouldn’t be around much longer. One night soon after, it just hit me, all the mistakes I had made, all the lies I had told, all the times I cheated in past relationships. I knew I wasn’t good enough and I needed a savior. That’s the night I trusted in the blood Jesus Christ shed for me, His final work on Calvary to pay for my sins once and for all and to save my soul from hell. I trusted Jesus to save my soul that night and He did. (Romans 3:23-25) I pray you trusted Jesus as well, you’re a soul and I know God cares about you. I’ll be praying for you, best wishes with your career. Be safe. There are some videos from Pastor Gene Kim and Pastor Robert Breaker that you would be helpful if you wanted to study more, I learned a lot from them. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of life of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

​@HannahWurld and to answer your question, true happiness is NOT working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 50 years. This is not the real life God intended for us. He made Adam and man to care for the earth, and the animals and take care of it. Man has failed at that. We gave polluted the earth, and we eat innocent animals for food. Soon, He will fix all problems, get rid of those who ruin our earth, and make earth the Paradise it once was, and then we'll truly know what happiness is.

[@phoolb7326]

Happiness can be very elusive at times and sometimes really can only be measured by the absence of feeling sad. What many don't realize is that being alone is not the same as being lonely. Many times it provides the time and tranquility to reflect on the path in life that brought you to where you are now. I hope that you are safe and that Halo does not get too nervous on the 4th. Also your English is very good and very slight accent are "Normal" for the Bay Area.

Hi Hannah, have you ever thought about getting a camper van with a bathroom in it? A lot of people convert mercedes sprinters into RVs. 🙂

I have been meaning to ask this question : how can you guarantee your own safety, being a lone single woman on the road?

Okay so once you exit the system, what will you do then? Not a criticism, but a sincere question.

Have you revealed what your birth country is? Don’t worry about having an accent. My wife is ethnic Chinese from Myanmar. She came to the US and couldn’t speak English at all. She doesn’t care if people struggle understanding her, she just keeps speaking until they understand. You’re doing great!

I am in Australia. My wife is Khmer with a family line of Chinese. She is adjusting in Australia (here 4 years, we married 5 years ago in Cambodia) with no trouble at all and she has a very strong accent. I always let her know that there are racist people around. Just ignore those ones. But 95% of people are just fine -- just trying to live their lives. Couldn't care less about race. I wouldn't let her for one minute feel like she won't be accepted for who she is (by the west), because it's just not true.

Hi! I totally understand your situation but I'm not sure why you haven't thought of the Silicon Valley, it doesn't rain all the time and the weather are just neutral.

I had the same alarm issue one night. It's because I made a loud thud inside and wasn't in camp mode 😅 I do hate that Sentry mode doesn't work with Camp Mode but hate that Bluetooth music shuts off in "keep". Can't win...

[@HannahWurld]

I hope Tesla can improve the Camp Mode feature

@HannahWurld Hear, hear! I'm glad you have Halo - the cutest Sentry ever
