I'm Sophie Lord and this is a Rookie's Guide to Happiness.
I'm a LGBTQI+ and Mental Health Advocate, Model and Student. Ultimately just another human trying to make their way in the world and sharing what valuable information I can 🌈
When I first saw the thumbnail I was like "OMG my celebrity crush Saoirse Ronan? So I technically have a chance now?" since you look like her, but this was the next best thing. I didn't know I was gay until recently. In fact, when the signs appeared I was kind of in denial, although I had a glass closet like Smithers on The Simpsons did. I'm a little younger than you, I'm 18, turning 19 in October. For some time I was like "I can't be a lesbian, I have a boyfriend" despite the fact that I'm masculine for a girl to the point of being androgynous and the fact I had crushes on girls. My "girl crushes" turning out to be regular crushes and my "crushes" on guys turning out to be purely aesthetic was a surprise to no one but me. My true authentic self looks almost the complete opposite of who I was expected to be growing up. Long hair, princessy dresses, graceful proper lady all that stuff, the real me is a tomboy with short hair, loves leather, and can beat anyone at an archery contest. Thanks so much for sharing your story. This year's been quite interesting for me. Now that I return to university on Monday, I'm excited to tell my friends.
Do you know that the current life ur living is sinful and will end in hell if you don't repent jesus christ died on the cross for you and rose on the third day as an atonement for your sins as a Holy God he cannot tolerate sins he made a hell for sinners which burns forever heaven is waiting for sinners to repent make a choice today where will you go after you die confess and believe jesus as your lord and saviour John 3:16 For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life . Revelations chapter 21 verse 7 to 8. 7 "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
I think you need to change the title to say that you are bisexual. It's for your own good though because in the future you don't know what you may end up doing. If you break up, you may decide to date men again and you will probably want to take these videos down, which is a shame. If you keep them in the spirit of the truth, this won't be a problem.
Bless you Sophie dear im now Finally Comfortable with my Sexuality and I am a Proud Homo Now and no shame either. I've waited for Your Longer than me but go you dear. Love you Aloha Derrick
Hi Sophie! Thanks for your video. I was questioning my sexuality for quite a while and then stopped thinking about it. I realized that the feelings I had were not going away. I still feel weird sometimes, scared, depressed, anxious, and then happy. It's like a ferris wheel of emotions like the way it was explained in the movie Love, Simon. I am also hoping to see a counselor about dealing with my feelings. Take care! :)
Certainly does sound like a total social contagion if all your friends were gay because there is no way this would happen in the natural world. Like when some Hollywood celebrity or leftist activist has 3 or 4 children and they're all in the LGBTQ community.
When my 14 year old daughter came out, it was when her special friend had many sleep overs In oure house. One day my daughter asked if we can buy a wider bed for her so her friend dont have to sleep on the floor. So we went to IKEA and while we were there I asked if this wider bed is something she wants to tell me and if so should we then buy a wider blanket for them so they can fit in together. Her smile told me everything.
1:35 I assure you, it wouldn't have been easier. It would've been 10x harder. Idk if you're aware but hiding who you are from everyone in your life isn't fun!
Thanks for this. When I was 17 I locked myself in my room and cried all day as I realised I had feeling for other women . I'm bi. Back in the late 70s early 80s it was the worst thing ever to be. You were treated like a disease!! Thank heavens things have changed.
@@Victori.A1 Men are just as attracted to men. Heterosexuality is a personality disorder and leads to toxic masculinity. We are not born hetero. Homosexuality is the right sexuality.
I feel trap because I don’t wanna tell everyone that I am a lesbian but I cannot find a group or someone I can talk to… 😢 I’m 23 soon I feel loneliness and I actually just wanna have a gf❤ Thanks for sharing your story!
Yes im bisexual or open as i say too. Its whomever i feel the vibe is right with honestly. I been getting inklings i was into women but i ignored it growin up. Then i played scenarios to my mom n she shunned it. It been a rollercoaster. Like coming out was kind of hard but what was worse is when my mom saw me actually acting on it. She acts disgusted n hate the sin ugh. It brought my depression on cuz not being accepted n i lost the relationship unfortunately due to stress. But im doin okay, just sucks growing up sheletered, being sheltered adult mindset, religious parent. I love my mom tho but she just gonna have to get with it eventually

Sophie, I identify as straight but your story is so beautiful! Love is love! This was very brave. At school people used to use being gay or bisexual as an insult and I just am horrified at the homophobia that you’ve revealed that LGBTQ+ people face. You shouldn’t have to be persecuted for who you love. Wishing you the best!
@@bubba283 I’m sorry that you’re feeling like this. I promise that it will get better for you ❤️ I’m an ally and trust me, most people these days are very tolerant and accepting. You’ll be okay :)
@@kerina6594 I've heard that before, I've learned there's way more gay guys than people think, I'm just glad I can watch gay guys on here when my mother's gone like now
You aren't born a deviant. You don't know anything about the love of God. He sent His Son to die on the cross and take our punishment so we could be forgiven in Him by the death and resurrection. Those who say they don't need it will go to Hell for a time and then be brought up before the Son to have their works weighed. The good thing is God rewards the good as well as the bad. God that all is naked in His sight. There isn't anything hidden. So everyone that denys the Son from being their Savior will be with Satan for eternity naked and broke feeling anguish and torture of fire forever. The punishment originally meant for our my former father and his angels. We decided to be sinners. God put us with him. If we come to know Jesus as our Savior is then are we the sons of God and love of God never leaves.
I was the same way realizing I was bisexual. Ironically, I also accepted that I was when I was 25 too. I came out to some friends and family. It felt very good because most were accepting.
I couldn't even come out to myself because I was financially dependent on others. When I was in Grade 1 (I'm from South Africa) I was traumatised and verbally assaulted on the play ground because I was always looking at this cute girl in my class. I had no idea what it was, but I was confronted by this boy who came up to me and started to scream at me saying "you like girls" and then proceeded to tell me how horrible I was, possibly that I belonged in jail that I was the lowest of the low. I walked home that day, so scared that if my parents found out I would be homeless so I told myself over and over again that I must like boys, I must do everything that it takes and that the only way I would get away with it is if I hid it even from myself. A piece of myself died that day. I killed off some of my life force. All because I was afraid of being homeless and that my parents would no longer love me. I would be confused as a teenager for years because I could never get a certain girl out of my mind, I just couldn't understand why. I was introverted and never really socialized with woman, I spent my free time at church all into purity, I then became a Scientologist (a cult) and L Ron Hubbard would state that he found homosexuals to be the lowest of the low and that it is better to sleep with a snake then these kind of people. I then left the Church of Scientology (that church will destroy your whole life, career, money, health, mental sanity, not joking) I married a man, and fell debilitatingly ill shortly afterwards, I put off consummating the marriage to 2 months after we got married. I began to realise that what was making me feel better was looking at beautiful girls from movie scenes, it gave me hope. I was using it as motivation to help me heal. Sometimes I would get so exited when I went to the shops and there was a beautiful woman there, it would make my day and I would come home thinking about them and how beautiful they were, I genuinely thought it was admiration. Then one day, as a was complimenting this beautiful girl something happened, I started to feel hypnotized as we were looking into each others eyes, she had the same response, I felt so connected to her, I pulled out of it and thought, what on earth was that. I came home thinking about her, It was such a pure feeling of love and connection that came out of nowhere.
This is so so relatable!!! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story!! <3 This had me tearing up.🥺 I've only come out to one family member so far, and they reacted the same way as your Mom did, saying they didn't care at all and that they'd love and support me no matter what. Hearing those words made that day the best of my life.😢 And I've been happier and more relieved than ever before, ever since. Happy Pride Month!!🌈🏳🌈💓💜💙
Obviously a model level beauty on the outside....but that is the "common" part of Sophie. Hands down, the beauty in this lass is on the inside. I feel lucky to have happened across her pride video. You're good people, Sophie. Be yourself and the world will be richer for having you on it.
