    THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE FOR WATCHING!! This episode was so challenging for me, it took me two days to edit because I really just wanted the message to come across clearly. I hope you can see my heart in this one and appreciate my honesty. We are ALL insecure about something and it takes a strong person to admit that.
    Please comment below your insecurities and help someone else feel better about theirs, I love this #soulsurgery community we've created, let's keep up the soul work, love you all dearly ❤️

      +Breeny Lee you were speaking to me. We share the SAME INSECURITY! And yes for anyone wondering the pic in my profile is really me not a fake picture so you can see. I angle my face when taking selfies all the time because for years I have been so insecure about my nose. I have my father's nose the bridge is nice but the width of my nose to me is wide and it has always been something that bothered me. Some days I think about it and other days I don't. I completely understood when you said being insecure about one feature doesn't mean you are insecure all together. Besides that insecurity there isn't anything else I would want different. So I fully believe it's mental and striving for this false perfection. Ughhh girl I just love these #soulsurgery videos. Day by day ladies day by day.

While this video will get few views,Kim kardashian is making other few millions on this or that new instagram post (yes they get paid for that shit as well). She's right in the video when she says that we're a product of the society. Horrible concept but is nothing but true.

    Someone once told me a story about a friend of theirs who had gone to the hairdressers and got their hair done, in the end she didn't like the style and after leaving there she came across someone who just mentioned how her hair looks different. Because of how she felt about herself in that moment she assumed the other person also didn't like her hairstyle. Had she left the hairdressers feeling like she was about to slay everyone's life and received that comment she would have been feeling herself. Hearing this just put into perspective how when we are hard/down on ourselves we tend to assume other have the same opionion and project negativity based of a moment. Just food for thought.

    I have no insecurities, I love whatever body or personality that God gave me.people worry too much about things that are not really not that important. Have we ever wonder how people who are blind,deaf dumb or people who do not enjoy all the this we enjoy like people who have all their body parts.

  • @sacha5627
    @sacha5627 7 років тому +15

    How can you dislike this video?! This is best video I've seen on youtube. Breeny, you have spoken the truth. My insecurity are my legs, they are shapely and smooth; i don't even have to shave. However, when i was three, i had a severe outbreak of eczema, which scarred most of skin on leg. As result, I never wear short clothing. The crazy thing is, people always complement me about my legs, saying how long and shapely they are. :(
    Anyway, the moral of story is - we all have something that is wrong with us. We have to find peace with it and live the best life that we can.

    To find happiness, people have to stop looking at the media thinking they are reading the Bible. The media are dominated by one culture only, that dictates what is perfect and what's not. Those people set the beauty standards that everybody has to follow to fit in. I personally don't care for the media and their beauty standards, I have learnt how to embrace my quirks and flaws because I am perfect the way I am. This "ideal me" would be boring, being perfect is boring, there is no spice to you, you are blend. Yuk! I am grateful to be a 21-year-old black woman with a wide nose, "nappy hair", curves and big jucy lips! I don't feel like changing for anybody but me!
    Embrace who you are, live your truth so that nobody can use it against you, just like Eminem did in 8 mile when he quoted his flaws in a battle rap in front of his opponents and they had nothing to say, they stood there dumbfounded!
    As far as Kylie, she is a kid that looks like a 30-year-old, she wasted her youth because as women, we don't grow into our woman body until in our mid 20's and that body will constantly evolve and transform and that's the beauty of being woman.
    This fast world we live in is a tragedy because we want everything fast, we don't enjoy every quirks of life and that's lame!
    Btw: read Charlamagne tha God's book "black privilege", you will greatly enjoy it, it's a must read !

    I love your courage and it's a shame it has to be labeled as "courage" because you're being who you are. Society has really crippled our perception of beauty and happiness. I really am ashamed of myself and how I can't take a selfie on snap chat without a particular filter, when just a year ago I had no problem but I wanted to look like everyone else, clear skin, light eyes and an even complexion smh. I admire you and you have truly inspired me. Keep doing you and leaving such a beautiful impact on people.

    • @BreenyLee

I challenge you to post on Snapchat for a day without a filter that's my personal challenge to you ❤️

  • @momomonica11
    @momomonica11 7 років тому +12

    My insecurity is my weight. I remember physically grabbing a knife just wanting to cut the fat off. When I think of how I look, it's not What i see when I look in the mirror. And I honestly don't even notice that I'm different until someone randomly points it out. I'm working hard to lose weight, and I know I can do it. When I was younger I was put on steroids because my asthma is so bad, and I've been on medication, and heavier ever since. My 21st birthday is next year, and I know I can do this! I just want to take a full body picture without feeling scared and actually wear clothing above my knees. 👑

  • @BizzyBeeNursing
    @BizzyBeeNursing 7 років тому +28

    I'm really enjoying your soul surgery series. So often we're bombarded by these images in social media, television and movies that it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. I sometimes take a social media vacation to get back to reality. I agree there is nothing wrong with wanting to be the best best version of yourself, but it's also important that we love ourselves where we are NOW. Many will say "oh once I look like this I'll travel, or ask for a promotion or date that guy etc". Basically keeping our lives on hold because we don't believe we are truly worthy of being happy or being loved. Trust me, love yourself where you are NOW, and the rest will fall into place. Remember real life happens off social media!

      MIGOS4 LIFE Don't believe the hype on social media. It's not a common thing for a woman to have a big bum with such a tiny waist. Nicki Minaj, Kim K, Khloe and Chyna all had enhancements. If you do wanna gain weight I'd advice you to do it the natutal way. Get to know your body and find out what works for you. There's nothing wrong with being slim tho... I hope you get to love your body one day.

    My insecurities used to be my teeth because when l was in first grade playing tag I missed a step and fall down the stairs and lost my front tooth. I couldnt eat anything solid for a week. As time past by my tooth grew out but with a big gap. I didn't like to speak nor smile. If I did smile I wasn't showing my teeth. I thought if I could only get braces I would look decent. Little did I no braces wasn't my solution. Don't get me wrong I love how my smile came out. It just that I still have those voices in my head that's telling me what to fix. Someday I wish my mind would stop trying to be a handyman because there's nothing to b fix. I wish I could wake up every morning telling myself that my ideal beauty was me. Myself because God didn't create people to try to look like other people. We r who, that we r. Why must that change?

    • @whitneystevenson4461
      @whitneystevenson4461 7 років тому +1

      Therissa Toussaint I totally understand you. I are sometimes very harsh to ourselves. Pickin our little things that aren't "perfect" and stressin over them. If only we could see ourselves how God sees us.. No need to change what God already put his paint brush on. Sadly, it's really hard not to when society constatly tells you, you're not good enough.. Ultimately, we end up playin ourselves because this image of "perfection" we strive for is an illusion. That's why I pray to be contet with myself. We are who we are and that's the beauty behind it all :)

    • @BreenyLee

    Hello my name is Garrick Rawls I'm a Civil Rights Activist here in Huntsville Alabama in the U.S. I've done a lot of traveling protesting and working for the homeless throughout America. I'm currently working with children, women, and prisoners.
    I love what you're doing with your Soul Surgery Series. It's really a blessing to watch you come into your own self, and to lead others on your journey there! You have a beautiful Spirit and a brave heart! And I’m rooting for you!
    So I love my work as Civil Rights Activist but it's dangerous especially in the southern states. I had been threatened at my home at night to wear I've had to call the police more than once. Some nights I have to leave the house do to the threat of violence. And I never know when my last day will be. The other night I was down after I had to leave the house and stay at my folks house do to the threat of violence and I felt hopeless, thinking that, “Before we can make any gains as a people they always take us out.” But I saw your video and I felt a peace come over me, and God showed me that “If something were to happen to me His work will be done and freedom will come to our people because of people and women like you who are making the necessary changes to free yourself and others, and to find the truth about what's real and what's fake in this world. And the truth of what's worth cherishing and what's worth letting go of.” So thank you and God bless you! You'll do well in life! I've already seen the greatness that God has prepared for your future, just continue in the way that the LORD will have you to go and He shall direct your path! Stay close to Jesus, He is the key, always remember that! Another thing that would be good for your soul is to find a charity to volunteer at, at least once a week. It helps to build empathy and it makes many of your problems smaller and less trivial in your own eyes. And you're able to manage a whole lot better because of the constant reminder of what's truly important, it keeps you grounded as a human. Then you'll start to take on bigger issues as well as doing soul surgery because of a desire to want to change your environment. So go and save the world! God bless you and I'm very proud of you Breeny! I love you, God loves you, take care!

    Breeny i love this series. I absolutely love you for putting out the divine truth inside you that you feel and girls/guys like me can relate to. As someone who only had my "glo up" around 18/19, but only grew into self-acceptance and self-esteem over the past 6 months, your story reminded me so much of my own. I felt the same way about my nose as well except I believed mine was too tall and honestly, if i saw my side profile there would be days that i would get depressed and cry and remove my pictures off of all my social media. It took a different perspective, self-esteem, time and knowledge of God's love and my own self-worth to realise that it is fine just as it is. Right now, all i care about is having a spiritual "glo-up". This world, this society and media will just keep changing what their ideas and standards of beauty are, we just have to be confident in ourselves around those changes.

    Hi Breeny, I hope this message reaches you. For so long I have wanted to start uploading on my channel but the one thing that has always stopped me was the generic content most UA-camrs put out and it put me off that this was the only way you could be "popular". I want to thank you for posting material with substance and showing me that there are people watching that can appreciate the truth in you and what you say.
    Even though I am not Christian or even a practising Muslim at this stage I can appreciate your words of wisdom and please be aware that it transcends to all humans regardless of faith, race, sex etc...
    Thanks Breeny, wish me luck as I will now work on my channel because you have INSPIRED me!!!

    Whatever that inspired you to take this journey I thank God. YT is so saturated with phony messages and inspirations that we forget so quickly what our purpose should always be. Doing Good. That you are. Your messages are doing good to many out there.Keep it up love.

    Im so grateful, I came across your channel. This kind of a message is a blessing. This message helps us not only understand what we should focus on, but also to be able to see others in a manner that is uplifting and accepting. Man has made such a fuss about beauty and has taken that and associated with being strong and being a "boss woman" that we don't see how much we are brain washed.

    I appreciate this video so much Breeny! I'm exactly the same with my nose. I've wanted a nose job since I was in primary school.. I've always been insecure about it. But this video gave me so much perspective ❤️

    The more i look at this serie and the comments under those episodes the more shocked i am. I never realized how many people on earth are complexed with their bodies. I dont understand why someone would be ashamed of their body. I hope yall find a way to be at peace with your struggles. So sad :(

    I absolutely love this series! You're a beautiful soul and thank you for your transparency. We all have our insecurities and a lot of times we try to mask it by doing so many other things than actually accepting ourselves how God made us. We are our worst critics, certain things we see in our self physically that bothers us, others don't even notice. Society gets worser as the years go and videos like these need to be seen by millions, if not billions. Society is corrupted.. I just pray for the future generations.

I’m thankful that you have learned to ride the wave 🌊 of grace. I hope to be so graceful with my trials and tribulations.
    Thank you for sharing and being an awesome influencer and so well spoken. Your Beautiful.

  • @NnennaGilbert
    @NnennaGilbert 7 років тому +12

    My biggest insecurity is my facial pores!! I have really huge pores and texture and no matter the amount of pore minimzer i use, they still peep thru. right now I don't mind going for a procedure to reduce them permanently. Socialmedia doesn't even help with companies and people praising those with doll skin. The same people that are here saying "oh be urself, love your self, be confident in ur own skin" will be the same people hyping those that have done 1million&1 procedures. Ul see comments like "ur skin is so smooth, skin goals, perfect skin. I have seen alot of hate comments(NOT FOR ME) on social media like "her skin looking so crusty" "ewwww terrible skin" "i hate your voice you sound terrible (Then i ask myself did this person create her/his voice herself) A black person with naturally big lips will be cursed on social media but a white person that has taken 20 lip injections with BIG,FAT,FROG LIPS will be tagged "PERFECT LIPS" LIP GOALS" Seriously this generation is CONFUSED because "perfection is the NEW GOALS". I know alot of UA-camrs that shot only with Sony Alpha cameras to have that blurred/smooth skin effect. Some even start recording with normal cameras like canon and when they get to the end they switch to Sony camera to use the skin smoothing effects (i can tell immediately when someone does that) and everyone ends up praising their skin not knowing its the camera. Few days ago, I switched from my canon to my sony a5100 to record my outro, believe me i loved it cos my skin was looking so smooth and glowy but i had to turn it off and continue with my canon cos my conscience wouldn't let me. That wasn't me at all, with the toy face, no, perfect smooth skin, no, i asked myself, "is this how you'll continue?" is this the lie you want to live with? Inasmuchas I want the perfect skin, I won't deceive my subscribers. I edit my pores(not makeup) in pictures for a professional look but to also smoothen my face in videos, now that's too much for me. Social Media is the greatest lie of all times

    Most of the insecurities that women of African descent have are ones that they want European faatures about the nose needs to be slim and so forth be comfortable with yourself and love yourself and who GOD made you to be you have to love yourself because no matter how you change yourself if you don't love you, you'll still have insecurities.. Nothing in this world or person is in this world is perfect and that's why GOD made it this was... Praying for mental strength is very very important we all need that..

    Love your nose Breeny, you are uniquely beautiful, you are one of a kind. Others see in us what we do not see in ourselves, words can never define you. My insecurities are there dark sports all over my face, every time I walk out the door I think people are looking at my spots, I wear make up to boost my confidence, my insecurities really get me down, thank you for sharing, you are an awesome woman.

    • @BreenyLee
      @BreenyLee  7 років тому +2

      Thank you darling and I will also say to you that people see in YOU what you don't see in yourself! Your dark Mark's are NOT who you are, love yourself first then work on changing that after, I promise you if you can work on loving yourself first, whether they fade or whether they stay it won't even matter.... ❤️

    Hey girl, this is what I tried to relate in my most recent Vlog. I'm getting a BBL pretty soon, and heard so much that leads me to assume that it's translating to people that I'm doing this because of being insecure. I'm a totally confident person, which is why I have no shame in documenting my journey with everyone. I think the point you made about having insecurities and still being confident is very important to take. :)

    Hi Breeny lee I am right there with you I agree with you a 100% , I am really hard on myself so now I am intentionally working on my confidence, most of the low self esteem comes from my childhood not being enough and not meeting others expectations but now I am learning that it's not what people say or think of you but what God thinks and say about you and to also see me through his eyes. I watch your video that speaks about beautiful with out makeup I want to do that so much like just go without makeup and when I heard what said about not wearing any makeup to church I really want to reach that stage in my life , my skin is not where it use to be so I buy all these products to just have nice clean and smooth skin thank you for your transparency someone had to do it and God choose you 😊 God bless 🙏keep going there are more out there who needs to hear what you have to say my sister 👏👏👏

    I like what you said about just because one thing makes you insecure, that doesn't mean you are a completely insecure person. I had an insecurity about my nose and had a nostril narrowing and feel much better. If that's what it takes, then do it! Don't listen to what anyone says. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

But in the end of the day, I thank God for my body 😊 . I am able to do so many things with my body and I know I look more than beautiful 💓

  • @charcharpr

    What a beautiful and powerful message Breeny!😢 I had to send this to my little sisters. I was an early developer and had full womanly breasts by the time I was 11, I hated them because it made me too different and boys would tease me. In my early teens big grown men would gawp at me and holla at me on the street because I had the curvy body of a 21 year old. So I hated my body. There are other stories I'm not quite ready to share in public (I will one day) but today I am bigger in size and many people have commented on my weight gain but the truth is I'm fine with my body. I need to be healthier, yes, but I refuse to be that girl who men only want to talk to because of her body. I want to be beautiful because of my mind and how I make others feel. Breeny you are needed in schools, to talk to those young Char's lol. I'd love to assist if you ever do. proud of you xxx

    YOU ARE SOOOOOOO PRETTY...WITHOUT MAKEUP...INSIDE AND OUT!!! I haven't worn makeup, weave, etc., in years, but you are an inspiration to me, too, because I don't have a pointy nose and I don't want one. I just want others to accept the fact that "original" Blacks have so-called wide, big nose. And that's a beautiful thing to have.

    Surely the"Elephant In The Room", is trying to conform to a EuroCentric beauty standard? Even White woman can't meet that standard. It's an exercise in futility, time is better spent embracing your own gifts.I mean if you were born with your nose in the middle of your forehead or your ear on your lip, then yeah, plastic surgery makes sense...other than those extreme scenarios, I think it's a losers game. IMO.

    I have always hated my face but in particular, my nose. It’s funny because it fits my face but it has a ‘Roman shape’ instead of a straight Hollywood nose. I’ve grown to like it because it adds a little elegant womanliness to my cherubic baby face. Love you breeny❤️

    Well, I had the same insecurity and I went to get my nose done and it's the best thing Ive ever done. Ii literally never think about it anymore. I think abut it sometimes because I believe it was out of habit but I seriously don't even worry about it anymore. I understand what you mean but I just went ahead and did what I needed to do. Initially, I was upset but that was because my swelling was so bad haha. Everything is good now. Do whatever makes you happy guys. Surgery or no surgery.

    Honestly I'm insecure about my nose too and mine is bigger than yours. Also my teeth which causes me to openly smile less in pics. This topic is a lot more home to me than the makeup one cuz I went on the no makeup/selflove/positivity journey you did 3 months ago and now I rarely wear it. It use to be so bad I'd wear makeup to the gym sometimes.

But at the end of the day what is keeping from getting a nose job is the fact that I won't be creation my Creator had in mind, like it won't be me.... and on a serious note it's actually not that deep... I can breath meaning my nose is fulfilling it's purpose lool
