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'
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
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
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.
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 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.
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
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! 🙂
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.
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!
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 💖🦋
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 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 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.
"...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 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 😊
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.
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. 💜💜
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Mi inspiración hacia ti es infinita. Yo me recorté así en Octubre 2020 y ha sido una de las experiencias más gratificantes que he tenido mis 25 años. Es increíble cómo nuestra alma se ve a través de los cambios que nos animamos a hacer aún con miedo 🤍
pardon my Spanish, ¡Siento tus palabras! bendiga su viaje y su valentía para hacer lo que se siente auténtico para usted. me encanta escuchar tu historia ❤️❤️
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’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 ❤️😜
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
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.
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 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...🙏
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.
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. 🙏❤👏🎉
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.
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. 💙
I am not sure why I clicked on this video in my explore page but I am so glad I did. This is absolutely beautiful and so artistic! I hope you find the sense of renewal you were looking for. You are beautiful with and without hair. -from a random cosmetologist that just found such a glorious message in this. Our hair is so precious but it can also be a weight so may this bring lightness as I felt watching.
Since the topic is so deep and I could say so much but there's not the space here, just know the meaning didn't escape me. I simply had to say, you are the literal twin of a young, your age, Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star💖 Blessings to you and all✨
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
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
Coincidentally back in December I also shaved my very long hair at the age of 29. I resonate so much with everything you said. Recently as it's been growing out slowly I've been missing my long hair, and feel unattractive and sad because as of a few weeks ago I've been going through a break up and honestly a bit of a break down. I also think people thought my best friend and I were crazy when we shaved our heads. It has definitely opened my eyes to some truths about myself and those around me.
Gorgeous😍! Good for you! I shaved my head ~20 yrs ago & it was one of the most powerful experiences of my life💯! My boyfriend (who's now my husband) helped me to shave my head then & it was such an intimate moment between us. I appreciate you sharing & reminding me of that💖. Looks like you got yourself a keeper too😉 "Only the strong go crazy. The weak just go along." -Assata Shakur
Kisha, we share the same last name too 𓆣 My husbands last name is Jones. Power to you and your moment with you/your hair & for your husband being alongside. It's so true - it was another level of intimate and strengthening to the bond we share. Epic you experienced it together. Thank you for sharing
I think it is so awesome and brave that you did this ! I also shaved my head a while back and it was the most freeing thing ever. And showering with a shaved head is orgasmic !
Amen sister!!! Our bodys are fleeting and trust me, looks fade with time and our character shows through regardless of how we look. Keep it real! You have a beautiful shape head and clean, blemish free scalp -- so see, there's still some beauty there!
I didn’t know how much I needed this 🥲😭😭😭🫶🏼❤️👁️🫂🌒🌕🌘 deep gratitude, resonating so sweetly, tormentingly beautiful. Love and truth embodied. Perfectly imperfect.
Wow! What a powerful and beautiful video to watch girl!!! Shivers &tears & this sense of freedom washing over me 💜💜 I have been deep in the trenches for a while now trying to find my way &this video reminds me that I am going through a rebirthing process and while it feels lonely and I feel lost, there's a deep and powerful transformation taking place 🙏 You are absolutely gorgeous inside and out with or without hair ✌️🫶❤️🙏 So grateful I found your channel during this time!!!!
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.
Yesterday I was thinking deeply about parting with my connection to my hair and I was thinking about you and wondering “why hasn’t Sophia done this yet, it seems like her next step as well” and now here it is! You are such a beautiful soul ❤
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing i have come across. the stillness of the video yet the breathtaking narration ascended me to a whole new level. thank you for putting this out and sharing it with us, much love
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.✨💚
beautiful video. I am 48 and i did shave my head 4 times in this life - always to leave things behind - always loosing wonderful long curly hair. Every time i did it felt strong and powerful - i did it only for ME. I think its a really strong transcendental practic - and nothing to call crazy. Greetinx from bavaria.
You are such a beautiful and insprational soul❤️ Thank-you for continuing to share your life journey and transformation with us. You truly are a remarkable human being❤️
I just discovered the red subscription button by names and I saw you've subscribed for 3 years. I so appreciate you being here for as long as you have Emily - an honor to share with you ❤️
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.
Your soul is so beautiful. I'm incredibly inspired by you, your nature, and your connection to the world around you. Your videos are my medicine and comfort. What a powerful video!!
This is absolutely beautiful. I still remember when you modeled before and back in the day. You were still beautiful--- but THIS beauty. The one that shines from within and resonates with every single human that comes in contact with you--- now THAT is something that you can't even put into words. I remember in early 2020 when I felt the urge to change, I felt a new me was emerging and I wanted so bad to chop all my hair off. This was before we all went through the world-wide pandemic. I didn't end up shaving my hair off, but I DID end up growing so much from that year and becoming a whole new person. Pain brought me closer to my purpose and the trials endured that year and since, have only made me value myself even more. Maybe one day I will get to experience what it is to let go and finally shave my hair, as of now, I'm living through this video and cheering you on from the other side of the screen. ❤ Love you sister. I can literally see the liberation all over your face. Absolutely incredible.
you would love the emmit sisters, love their songs i hear it in a loop!! theres a song named "water" and the lyrics, the message is as beautiful as your letter - thank u for sharing this letter and for healing all the souls out there who decided to watch your video
Wild woman, childlike heart, intellectual mind, old soul. You, Sophia, are my long lost soul sister. Thank you for sharing your beautiful being with me and the rest of the world. Grateful to the Universe for letting me find your page. From one Sofia to another. Pura Vida 🥰❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this moment. I make your words my own... 2 weeks ago I shaved my head and I can tell you that it was also a way of seeing my little self again, so far from me, so far from what we were... I took her hand again and look at my little self, with eyes full of tears of joy, for the reunion after so many years away being someone who was not me, but what others liked about me on the outside. I hug you tight and once again, thanks for sharing. Being authentic with yourself is being authentic with the world and is being at peace with the world again💜🌻💜🌻
sophia, this is a letter from me to you (in digital form, but from the bottom of my heart): thank you! thank you for being so inspiring in making the people who follow you, and hopefully beyond, appreciate the slow life more, let the ego rest and recognise love as the highest value, both in its own and interpersonal sense. i see you! and all that you share and teach through your videos. your words have made me think and moved me to tears. i hope more such poetic videos from you touch humanity. stay connected
This is so beautiful! How amazing is it that you are even more gorgeous and radiant without all that luscious hair??? You see magnificent down to your bones! ❤️
Just found you and your video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏💗. This video reminds me of the Buddhist monks and how they shave their hair, wear orange robes, and all look the same as part of the process to detach from the world and possessions and release the ego. I like how you share your wisdom and reasons for doing this. I myself lost 2/3 of my hair in one month last year, and although I learned a lot from the experience, I still don’t think I would ever shave it. My sister was also diagnosed with cancer last year and she lost all of her hair in the process of chemo and this also brought a lot of feelings in me. She was so brave and unattached, while I was very uneasy and unhappy about why I was losing my hair. I love my hair and honestly celebrate it as a gift from existence. I think that true detachment is not in depriving ourselves or removing what we think will hinder us in our spiritual journey, but rather in celebrating ourselves, who we are and what we enjoy while remaining fully aware and conscious and knowing we will be ok with or without that person, thing, or situation.
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Universe for reflecting myself back to me through your words, your voice, YOUR BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY!!! To me, this is the purpose of life…TO BE!… & by BEing we help one another to embody the experience of the HUMAN actually BEING! What a joy!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!! Peace 🫶🏽
What a beautiful woman … May our Beloved Divine, invite you to become an evolved women as you blossom into your Divine Feminine Status as a Divine Empress! 🕊🌱🌺 … bless you and you incredible gift of beautiful words of introspection and wisdom. 🙏🏽
I saw this at such a tender time in my life… but at a time of transition. Thank you for sharing your moments with us ❤ you are beautiful, hair or no hair. ✨
Omg you look even more beautiful somehow what the fuck?! 🥰🥰🥰 so proud of you bb. Being the change you want to see. Being purposeful. Being an example of depth. 💞
Sophia, i watched this for the first time 5 months ago when you posted it, i was so in denial of all my inevitable changes, 5 months later I have blossomed into the person waiting for me to see that i am worthy and deserve love- today I have shaved my head and i thank you for this message
I'm in awe of ur bravery. people like u are such an inspiration for people like me, who are constantly looking for ways to grow and to be more free. Thank you for this video, it teaches a lot ❤
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✨
