- Thank you for being here. This video and open letter, is for all of our fears.
I referenced a song that I love, called 'Be Like Water' by Lo Wolf
'be like water, fluid and forgiving' - Розваги
I'm emotional. Wishing everyone a freedom like Sophia's and a connection like this couple's.
Thank you Jenny, wow. 𓆣 Freedom for all - a beautiful life to you
Place your faith on Jesus. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one gets to the Father but by him. Trust Jesus. Repent
Have a good day.
Hey guys I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future. Thx for reading
It brought tears to my eyes how gently and lovingly he finished shaving her head. What a gift for your partner to help facilitate growth and freedom.
Hair or no hair, you’re still beautiful because beauty starts within oneself. You are beautiful.
𓆣 thank you for your kind words and for being here
At 55 years old, I shaved my head about a month ago. I had wanted to for years, but the voice of fear always won out. The fear of rejection of my husband, the fear of how others would perceive me, and the fear of people thinking I wasn’t healthy (either physically or mentally). I finally did it, and I haven’t felt more unencumbered! I’ve never felt prettier, and I look in the mirror and see just me! I love it. Thank you for sharing your video. It was beautifully emotional, and I connected with it deeply.
🕊️🤍🕊️
You can literally SEE the rush of freeing and relief and embrace a few minutes after the first big chop he did. You knew you needed this, it's uncomfortable but you are doing the absolute best and are so lovingly connected to your body. It's so inspiring to witness
😂
Thank you for sharing this it's honestly opend my eyes 😢 my 15 year old daughter has just done this and I felt terrible I felt negative towards her I felt in my heart she looked ugly 💔 BUT she's not she's my gorgeous baby girl and no matter what she looks like I love her, we live in a world where beouty is having the right hair, the right make up the perfect body shape and it's all wrong. So from myself that was a very emotional distressed mum THANK YOU you have opend doors in my mind that's never been there before and I feel amazing I've hugged my daughter today for the longest time in a good few years 😢and it was fantastic xxx
I respect any other humans desire to grow, no matter how that looks. I hope it brings you everything you deeply desire!
Cory, thank you ❤️ our journeys look many ways - I appreciate you being here
I lost my hair for a very different reason, chemo. I learned a lot about myself. Looking in the mirror took some getting used to. But in the end, it made me realize it was just hair. It grew back. Hair was not something I was, it was something I had. The chemo killed my hair follicles but it also kicked my cancer’s ass giving me more time to spend with those I love.
I went through the same thing 15 years ago. Do you remember that exact moment when you truly looked yourself in the mirror with no hair, feeling ill from the drugs and wondering what the future held? It was one of the most profound, brutally honest moments of my life.
I only recently discovered your channel, but I knew right away that you were the one I had been looking for. I have been feeling lost for some time in my life. Lost between myself, my desires, people's expectations, society. I call it chaos. Chaos in me, in my head. Your experience evokes an emotional response in me. It's as if I'm finding something that's been waiting to be awakened, as if I'm beginning to understand myself. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you for sharing your experience.
Wow Mzia, honored - truly.
May we all be each others mirrors and reminders we are not alone in the 'chaos'. There have been moments I've sat where you're explaining - and I believe its you calling yourself home. A blessing to hear even the faintest echo, as the world is noisy at times. I cherish your existence and celebrate the beautiful unfolding of what's to come for you. Grateful to be walking this life with you, cheering you on from afar 𓆣
@Sophia Esperanza such an incredible, beautiful and emotional video. I must be honest and say I really do think you are even more beautiful with a shaved head. Thank you for sharing this
so much love and peace in hearing how others also respond to this video as some form of a light switch, thank you for ur beautiful words which explained so well the feeling and reaction i also got from this :)
I can relate so much with this comment.🥰🙌🙌👐
Seeing the shaven hair with the dead leaves that had fallen from trees, was really a special addition to the meaning as a whole. Whether it was intended or not, I found this really amazing. Great video.
It was early 2020 and I had felt for some type that change was coming. I was living with my then fiance and I kept feeling like a big change was coming (for myself, let alone the world). I had flirted with the idea of shaving my head but little did I know that one day I would grab the sheers and do it then and there. I grew soooooo much from shaving my hair off. I learned about self confidence, I stopped wearing makeup and embraced my bare head and skin. I began the internal work, I then broke off my engagement (to the sweetest man I've known, but I knew we could no longer grow together), I moved out on my own and basically restarted my life again, new job, new home, new EVERYTHING. I always told myself in the growth phase that as my hair grew, I grew. I've since grown my hair out and it is mid back. I now love and cherish my hair when years prior I abused, bleached, stripped of its nutrients, ripped while brushing amongst other harmful things I did to my hair. and that was a representation of what I was doing to myself, my mind, my body and spirit. Hair is our spiritual antennas and our hair is an extension of ourselves. Never would I have felt the power of it, if I hadnt shaved it and learned to love myself without it.
Now, when I was bald headed, the feeling of water or wind on my bald scalp was something so sensual, as in my senses had never felt that before with a full head of hair. It was as if I was experiencing the sense of touch for the first time. Getting ready in the morning was no longer a process but something quick, simple and hassle free!
Sophia, you look like a bad ass warrior woman and I am so excited for this journey you are on
As someone who had to shave my head 5 years ago due to chemo, (it has fully grown back now) your comment was a hug to my heart. Thank you. 🩷
That is amazing! I hope that someday I’ll have the courage to do the same.
This made me appreciate my mom even more she didn't decide that she was bored of her life and leave us to do do whatever she wanted , not all women are strong enough to deal with what life throws at them without "going crazy"
I hope you can still be friends with your ex. Hair usually grows again but relationships like hair can be spoiled by folly.
Love and gentle handling for people, hair and bald heads is good advice.
A hairdresser! 🙂
the fact that so many of us would rather skydive, swim with sharks, do crazy things that we fear over cutting our hair off.. is so crazy. why are we so attached? why are the opinions of others so important to us? why do we treat it as a life or death situation? this video is beautiful and i hope i can reach a mental strength like this one day.
Maybe because we love our hair :) Like a pet
I shaved my head last year in May for very similar reasons. I didn’t have a smooth experience making the transition. The emotions I felt were very overwhelming & I struggled to look at myself while having almost no hair. Slowly falling in love with my appearance that was so drastically different was the beautiful part. Proud of you for sharing!
"...you feel so much for others you refuse to forgive yourself for the pain you've caused them, carrying it like a weighted necklace" I feel so moved and seen, thank you for sharing this, it's opened space for so much transformation ❤
this made me cry. I shaved my head 5 years ago after going through an intense inner transformation, and the words you said reminded me of my courage to follow my truth in spite of all the fears of being misunderstood.. Thank you sm for sharing this and the inspiration that oozes from it.
Do you recommend doing it if you feel a intense drawing towards doing it. The only thing stopping me is my dad being mad for like a day and people not liking me anymore but I need to do it to have control and love myself
This made me a little teary eyed. It’s so beautiful that love you guys share. Usually we hold on to hair so much because of what we want men to think of us. Not to say this is true for everyone but it does hold a lot of power in what others think of us. And it’s so beautiful to see him supporting you in your journey
This made me so emotional, I had to hold back tears. You are wise beyond your years. I remember your vine days, it’s crazy to see how much you’ve grown and see how connected you are with yourself. It’s inspiring. You are beautiful, but you are also full of light. Thank you for sharing that light w us.
I’m so moved, this was quite beautiful to listen to and watch; and feel. Thank you for your openness and your vulnerability in sharing this, it was everything I also needed to experience right now. You are a true Beauty 💖🦋
𓆣 Honored to share and reach you. I made this for us all and it moves me to know it resonated with your own beautiful life and story
Absolutely Magical. 🦋
Beautifully expressed, i can relate..
This is absolutely raw and beautiful. As someone who shaved their head three times , l love seeing others take the plunge mentally , physically and spiritually. Bless you and your journey 🪞🙏🏽💫
Congrats on chopping your hair off for spiritual reasons. You look amazing too! I chopped my hair off a few months ago after growing it out for over 6 years. I loved my hair so much, but I believed that it was holding trauma and in order for me to grow, it had to go. Like you, I instantly felt better and like I succeeded in shaving a layer off of myself. Everyone around me thought that I was crazy because I had such beautiful curly hair, but I didn’t care. I’ve since been going down a much better path and have started getting attuned in Reiki, been in therapy for 7ish months and have really been doing the inner work needed for me to get past things that used to hold me back. I’ve definitely become more confident too and have more of a I don’t care attitude. Thanks for sharing your story, it reminded me of why I chopped mine off 😊
I’m 58. I shaved my head right before Christmas 😊. It’s my third time shaving my head. It feels so freeing if you’ve never done it before. It also feels really good to only need 2 products. Shampoo and a hair oil. Talk about saving money. 😊 Honey hush This is what a real wash and go is ❤️😜
ugh the way i cried with you! so intimate as well, with your person supporting you every moment of the way. The way he shows you the clippers and how to do it. and the way he finishes it for you. Good for you. This is so pure. enjoy this new level of freedom.
I couldn’t help but just pause everything else around me and soak up every word you said. I started crying and felt so seen in what you were saying in your letter to yourself. Thank you for showing up. You’re amazing.
2 weeks ago i made this same decision, the energy in my hair was blocking me in spirituals ways I was too consumed by my looks
Thank you for sharing with us. This was divine and empowering. You're an incredible beautiful soul and truly a gift. I am so grateful to be part of the community and to have found your channel.✨💚
So, so, so beautiful Sophia! Jist a beautiful soulful and blissful message and video. Thank you for sharing and letting us in to glimpse a bit of your wonderful journey. 🙏❤👏🎉
So inspiring. I’ve been loc’ing my hair for months and hiding it. This gave me the push I needed. Thank you for showing us your truth ❤
I love this so much. After having super long hair my entire adult life, I shaved my head Aug 2022. I wanted to do it for so long but was so concerned with others opinions. Finally went for it and shed so much more than my hair. It's been wonderful. 💜💜
This is beautiful. You are beautiful. Your light shines through your very being. Thank you for teaching by just being. Bless you
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing this journey with us. I’m personally going through my own journey and your words were right on time. I haven’t been able to cry in weeks and you’re calling voice and powerful words allowed my emotions to finally run free. Thank you
This gave me all the feels. The genuinity was pouring from this video. Keep choosing discomfort. 💖🌱
I love this new chapter for you 🫶🏽 this video definitely made me tear up and realize what’s really important ❤️
𓆣 Blessings Michelle, thank you for sharing. May we all continue to remember, whatever that may be
Wow, this was absolutely beautiful. I am blown away. Thank YOU for being YOU. It's an honor to be subscribed and witness who you are. Hugs and blessings!
When he finished and you were completely bald all I could think is that you looked like a warrior! You are beauty and you’re right we are complicated beings. This was a beautiful reminder for me to stop worrying about where I am on my life path and enjoy life
This was so beautifully said, done, expressed. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. It's life changing.
Thank you for creating this, Sophia. Its been a cathartic experience to watch this. I personally shaved my head in September 2020-- thinking about I really don't know what. And I'm here, almost 2.5 years since that, and I'm older, wiser, have witnessed so much growth. So much of what you've said felt so deeply personal to me; the fear that engulfs us in a sea that only exists in our mind, and shaving my head was so necessary for me-- I was drowning in that sea of fear. Thank you for creating this. Thank you for documenting this. I feel so many things right now, but thank you so much.
This video, letter, testimony, is a work of art. I love this. I found myself sitting on the bathroom floor before my shower , crying and shedding with you. Thank you for sharing this piece of your soul.
Bit lost for words, sitting here just tearing up. Beautiful on so many levels. You're a light, thank you for sharing your journey.
This was so, so beautiful. As someone who has gone through their own spiritual awakening in the last few years as well, taking off clothes that weren’t mine, unlearning, transforming, finding a new way to be in the world I can feel how monumental this moment was for you, and how brave you are to share it with the world. Thank you for your vulnerability, it was so incredible to witness this intimate moment for you and your partner. Love to both of you 💜
i only recently discovered your channel, but i've felt deeply connected with you since. my name is also sofia, i am 18 now, and this truly felt like a letter to myself as well. i've said for years that i will shave my head in this lifetime to show that i am not attached to my appearance or how those have perceived me. after watching this video i wanted to just go for it like you, but this is your story not mine. i'm still on the journey to loving and accepting my hair as it is, wild curls and all, and until i have achieved that i will not get rid of my hair. for getting rid of my hair now would be because i don't love my hair. thank you sophia. this has given me a new perspective. i am sending love your way and i can't wait to watch as you and your hair grow together :)
This was the most beautifully written thing I’ve heard all year. I resonate. Thank you for sharing.
This is the most beautifully raw and captivating creation of visuals, emotion, and love I’ve truly ever seen. It felt like watching a visualization of my soul. This is exactly everything I’ve never been able to verbally manifest. Thank you so much for your sharing this with the world. And welcome to this new chapter in your story.
This video really touched my soul!
Thank you so much sophia for being authentic and real. Thank you so much for being you!
What a beautiful human being you are, to share this vulnerable and emotional moment with us, not just moment but a turning point but a movement.
So inspirational. Such a beautiful reminder to step past the comfortable, in order to grow and expand. Sending you so much love, thank you for radiating as you do
i literally bawled my eyes out watching and listening to this. this resonates on a lot of levels for me, and i just want to say that i thoroughly appreciate how you and the content you choose to post has shifted in recent past. you're an inspiration and i appreciate you doing what you do. 💓
Needed to hear ALL of that. So beautiful. It resonated deep. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
It was a message for us all 𓆣 am I'm honored it resonated with you
So beautiful and such a wise soul you are 💗 Aso I love the love you two share! So sweet and what a blessing 💗🌹
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, Sophia! where you take us on your journey of vulnerability - these scenes will definitely stay with me for the rest of my life
This is beautiful. Choosing yourself will always be the answer. 💛
❤️ I couldn't agree more
This was so emotional and beautiful thank you for sharing this with us. Excited to see this new journey you are on ❤
Thank you for sharing this journey you are embarking! You are a beautiful soul.
Inspiring beyond belief, in my journey to find complete wholeness this channel has been there for me too many times to count
although ive only tapped into your channel a few times in the last year or so its incredibly beautiful to witness your journey. so proud of you. you are honestly an inspiration right now. 💙
Tank you for sharing! I appreciate your poetic expression of the words you say and the energy that shines through you
This is absolutely beautiful. I just stumbled across this video, but you had me tearing up and laughing with you. Your words just hit right. Thank you ❤️
I don’t know how, but I stumbled across your video all of a sudden and the title caught my eye. I am crying like a wee baby in my living room at 7am while my kids sleep. I’m sobbing quietly so they don’t hear me. This is the strongest I’ve ever felt everything happens for a reason. I have been debating with myself for almost 3 years on shaving my head because I have PCOS and it’s causing my hairline to recede. My hair has been what makes me me since I was a child. Thank you for putting yourself out there and thank you for growing your confidence and sharing that with others. Watching your video made my day.
Your words and message are truly inspiring Sophia. Beautiful video. Sending love to all my fellow kaleidoscopic beings 💗💗💗
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your powerful words ❤
Beautiful, stunning video and message. A cheer to individuality and the soul that lives inside all of us. Thank you for your courage💜
I started following you for the recipes and I am so glad I did because spirituality and self growth is so important to me. I feel like I am going through a very similar experience as you right now where I want to drop the fear and be who I truly am. And In front of others! Not hidden away behind the scenes where I am comfortable. I assure you, your videos will not be seen as weird and they are so needed right now for so many. This really inspired me and made me feel connected. That part is huge…feeling connected and not alone in how I feel and see the world. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you! Whatever it is will be great!
I cried.
Also, I feel so much love for you in this moment, a stranger. Thank you for being vulnerable. I am inspired. That is worth something.
The growth you have experienced in the past few years are mindblowing. Thank you for being so brave and letting your soul shine so authetically. Know that you encourage people to do the same, and I hope all of us will shed the layers and come back home to ourselves. Much love to you, Sophia x
I resonated with this. Said so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this moment. ❤
❤️ and for you being here, to share it with. honored
I stumbled upon your video and wow lots of emotions. I totally felt your feelings. It’s like I was there with you feeling the fears, pain, trauma…all of it. Inspirational! I need to look within. I too wanted to shave my head but I worry about what others would think. Thank you for revealing yourself and being vulnerable. Honestly, you are beautiful.
I needed this, thank you.
This was really beautiful. Fear is something I've struggled with my whole life so this was very very inspiring and so beautiful... thank you
Been following you for SO LONG, and I’ve been changing the form of myself with you, and you’ e definetely been an important inspiration for me, guiding me, at my rithm..
Even though I’ve never seen you in person, I can see your soul, I can see your love, I can See your light, I can see your truth. Thanks for making us witnesses/participants of your existence, and adding so much to ours✨
What a beautiful piece of work this was. Thank you.
Thank you for reminding us to always face fears and go beyond. To choose light over darkness. To fill ourselves with love & be true to ourselves. To ignore what other people think. To love. Thank you for being an inspiration.
I didn’t know how much I needed this 🥲😭😭😭🫶🏼❤️👁️🫂🌒🌕🌘 deep gratitude, resonating so sweetly, tormentingly beautiful. Love and truth embodied. Perfectly imperfect.
Wow Sophia. I resonated deeply with this. Thankyou for these words. I appreciate you sharing this journey.
I’m emotional and refreshed by witnessing where you are on your journey. You’ve validated things that I feel and have inspired me today in so many ways. You are beautiful 💓🕊
Speechless. Thank you for your thoughtful and expressive words.
This is phenomenally beautiful and I’m in tears. Thank you for being this brave and sharing your journey with us💓💕💘
thank you for sharing this. i sat and balled my eyes out. im with you, sister.
That was too beautiful for words. And came at such a needed time when I am also considering this for myself. Thank you. Thank you for opening up. It was so potent and needed.
So much emotion, overflowing with the profound beauty. Seeing your eyes see yourself anew for the first time. This video, these words are a gift. Thank you 🙏🏻
Your words have touched me profoundly. Thank you SO much!!
didn't expect to start sobbing while watching this. you're a beautiful soul.
Thank you for this- the video and message. I really needed to hear this today.
this is so incredibly potent. thank you for your vulnerability and bravery and willingness to share with us these profound movements within you at this time. very grateful to have stumbled across your content, Sophia.
What a beautiful soul ❤ this brings me to tears as I’m on a similar path.. returning to self. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
Wow, beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. Your videos have helped as pointers back to self, stillness and love. Even through a screen your vibration is reaching and providing elevation to all of those it's meant for. Grateful.
Beautiful words, thank you for sharing such a pure moment 🙏🏽🫶🏼
This was so beautiful. I don't normally comment on things but this experience was just as transforming and liberating for me too. Just wanted to say thank you for being you from the bottom of my heart! Sending you deep love! Keep being you in the face of anything and anyone. To be you without a shed of doubt while you stand before the world is the most powerful essence of the human spirit. I appreciate you.
so grateful for you. Thank you so much for sharing your authenticity. Low-key look even more badass.
This made me cry. I feel a lot of what you feel. Thank you for sharing.
You are so amazing Sophia. Sending my warmest thoughts your way. I’m so proud of you ❤
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thanks for being you 💜 you're great in every version. And more, if you're just yourself
𓆣 EmmaTee, thank you for your words. I appreciate you being here. Overwhelmed with gratitude
You are so brave and much loved, stay safe you beautiful lady x
I just shaved my head last week because my hair was thinning from Lupus. And I feel empowered and way more confident than before. My hands were shaking uncontrollably and everything in me screamed to not do it - but I did. And I’m so glad I did. This video was beautiful.
All the best on your healing journey. I have just been diagnosed with RA. It's scary but also gives me "permission" to focus on me for a while. Sad that I feel the need for permission but there we are...🙏
@@JF-kv1gm Sending you lots of positive thoughts and vibes. Thank you for the kind words!
I’ve just found you and thought this was the most beautiful video. You look amazing and the reason behind the video was truly heartwarming ❤
the truth in this video is captivating, it's so much stronger then any form of identity, photos, looks. It's raw and somehow so much more powerful than anything else. Thank you for the reminder that we dont need to be anything, but the truth in this moment. And it may not matter, but you look stunning, pure & gorgeous with your head shaved! x
Your words are everything I believe and feel. Tomorrow I shave off my hair to honor my sister who is losing hers. But I also feel like it must go for me to move forward. Beautiful video. May you be blessed with love and life.
"I shaved my head and learned I was bald." The End
Absolutely stunning, inside and out! You are an inspiration ❤
talk about Return! so powerful, beautiful, . thank you Sophia
I cried watching you. You touched my soul. Thank you for allowing us to go through this experience with you❤
Watching your growth and expansion these past few years has been such a gift. In awe and full support of your journey always. Thank you for holding the light my sweet friend ♥
