      Exactly Maria A. Taking care of yourself doesn't mean your appearance defines you. Just like taking care of your finances and investing doesn't mean that your money defines you. I love her message. I hope one day women stop listening the lies of having to be hot to be worth loving, but just enjoy what they have, cherish the most valuable things in them. And shamelessly bless the world with their God given talents and purpose. I'm in that place and I love it!

    Thank you for watching, I've never been so nervous to put out a video as I've been with this one. I've felt every kind of emotion, from joy to complete fear! But like I said in my last video it's time for us to face our fears... This for me wasn't about getting a new hairstyle this for me was about peeling back a layer of myself that I've held hostage for so long and now I feel NAKED and VULNERABLE but it's the best place for a revolution, a change and it had to start with me. There's just so much to say but I'll let the video speak for itself, bless you guys ❤️

    This is exactly what I need! I am at a stage in my life where I question everything. I wanna detox my life and just realize whats good for me and what not and cut out the bullshit. I just deleted the instagram and snapchat and facebook app on my phone. I really wanna set my priorities straight and see everything clearer. Focus on the important, not beeing constantly distracted by social media, tellin everybody how to look/think/live... I was always struggling to love myself but am working on it, I really want to accept myself and love myself. I know myself and my worth and am not going to settle for less. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! YOU ARE SO IMPORTANT! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! ❤❤❤

I stayed off for years n relied on TH-cam, Netflix n books. It wasn't until late last year I began peeping on ig n Twitter. I go on for information n with an unbiased eye now. Hell, I just downloaded WhatsApp last week because my boyfriend is in China for the next couple weeks. Anyways the point am making is you doing the right thing.

    I'm crying. My mum cut off my hair when I was about 5 because she said it was damaged by perm. I didn't want to lose my hair as I couldn't wait to show my friends how long it had gotten. I refused but she physically forced me down and cut it all. I felt destroyed. I cried till a fell asleep. Woke up and cried some more. I couldn't do anything about it and just kept my hurt inside which was numbing. As an adult now I brought it up because my relationship with my mum has been difficult for so long (not just because of that) and she and my family just laughed at me. Further ridiculing me. What you've just done is opened a pathway for me to heal. Thank you so much. I'm so tuned in #soulsurgery ♥️

Get some self help books on emotional healing, soul healing especially, as walking around with hurts is the biggest way to limit the potential you are born with.

      Living with Luyando - I feel you girl, my mum said my hair was uneven and my aunty being a hairdresser said, just cut it off. I was too young to resist, I remember being in a fun house for my birthday and just sitting there sulking and my sister was laughing at me (who still had all her hair) it can be very traumatic and it almost feels like abuse.

      I feel your pain. My hair was collar bone length when I had to cut it all off to attend boarding school in Africa. Although I didn't care because I knew it was just hair and hair grows back, it sucks because at that young age all you want is long hair and you just think of how boyish you look. I don't think what you're mom did was right but if it really hurt you and your family is not very understanding, maybe you can talk about it with someone else like a friend. I'm glad that you're able to share your story and I hope you can move on from it love.

I looked into the mirror about two months ago and told myself that's not the real me. I started wearing ponytails and taking care of my natural hair. Honestly I feel better with wearing ponytail and my natural hair. Accepting who you are will take you a long way. Well done Breeny. This video just gave me more confidence.

    I was literally about to tear up because this reminds me of me. My childhood played such a huge part in my low self esteem until I was about 18. I was constantly told that I was ugly, that I was too dark and that I'd be a lot prettier if I had this or that. It really broke me. I don't remember a week in my childhood when I didn't go home and cry and try to change my skin and the way that I looked. I felt ugly for the most part of my life but I woke up a few years ago, stared at my body and really asked myself who defined beauty and who says that I am everything beauty is not. I'm 21 now. I've really tried to build myself up ever since and I've been successful for the most part. But to be honest, some days it feels like you're back there all over again and it takes a lot of courage to wake up each and every day and choose yourself. Everyday, you wake and you choose YOU! It's really not something that one can say they've attained forever. You continue building your self-esteem every single day. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable with us. i look forward to the new series! 💕 xo

    I love and admire your courage, determination and wisdom! Cutting your hair off is symbolic of change...Breeny you are transitioning into a butterfly...you are enough! 'Beauty' is subjective and as you rightly say by whose standards... is it the fake media and all the superficiality that is constantly fed to the public about what constitutes beauty..?? I love the fact that there is something radically and fundamentally shifting for women and I think for black women in particular who have always been 'downgraded" or "margenalised" as "inferior". I think they are getting tired of the fake. I think this time is a time of reflection in relation to self love, self perception and the rejection of society's idea of what constitutes the norm or beautiful....🙄. We know that most of what is considered beautiful is about external beauty, is an illusion and is time limited whereas inner beauty is timeless and will always transcend to the external. We need to start from the inside out and not the other way around...so I salute you on your journey of self love...it is a rocky and at times lonely and painful road.... but once you begin to know and like yourself that is the start to loving and valuing yourself no one will ever be able to knock your confidence again...they will try but you will know who you are. I transitioned several points in my life so see it as a forever journey of discovering and knowing thyself. Love you! 🤗💋💝

    I shaved my head on February 19th 2017 because every time I looked at my hair I just wanted to cry at how damaged, uneven and ugly it was. When I was a child I got head lice and my hair was long and thick and because of that my mum had to chop it all off to about 2 inches from the scalp. Ever since then my hair never grew much and the growth stunted and it made me so insecure with myself. The day I shaved my head was probably one of the best things I could have ever did for myself and I don't regret it at all. New growth is literally shooting out of my scalp and I have such a healthy TWA and hasn't even been 2 months yet! I LOVE IT!

    Wow Breeny, you would never belive that my story is so similar to yours. And I hate to tell it because it sounds petty but everybody's struggle no matter how trivial you may think it is significant to them.
    Growing up my dad would always cut my hair when I didn't do well in school, and it wouldn't help that I had such a sensitive scalp that would be ridden with sores. So as a kid, my hair was always cut. I can't tell you the number of times we bumped into dad's friends and they would innocently ask 'is this your son?'. As I grew older, everything I did was channeled towards being a beautiful attractive woman because in my mind, I looked like a man. And when you grow up like that, all the time you're seeking male approval. I looked for that approval in many wrong places. I just wanted to be told I was beautiful because in my mind, I was ugly. Anyway fast forward to almost three years ago, I told myself that I wanted to fight my insecurities beginning with the biggest one and I cut my hair bold. I can't say I don't still feel ugly with or without makeup (ps. my hair is still short) but I can tell you that I'm not seeking male approval anymore. I know that even if I am not 'beautiful' that's totally fine. I have learnt to love myself and I'm not afraid of taking off the layers that were my mask.
    A whole lot of rumbling and it may have not made sense but I just want you to know that someone understands you and you are beautiful in many ways.
    Like you, I'm a dark skin twenty five year old.

    Breeny...your videos have been speaking to me lately and I love you for that. I did the big chop back in 2014 for the first time and then did it again in mid 2016...THIS time around it finally hit me that I must and I mean MUST...fall in love with my hair. The 4c squared, thick, high maintenance of a mane that is mine...but it is also ridiculously strong when going up against hair dye, bleaching and relaxers. I say this because I've always held long hair on such a high pedestal like the majority do. I'll feel comfortable and love my hair to the moon and back but I see a co-worker or someone walking down the street with thick/curly long hair and slowly justify why I need to stay with wigs...I am so happy to come across this video and looking forward to #soulsurgery. I'll most likely watch them during break time at my job. Best of wishes in EVERYthing you are doing and will do in the future 💗

    I went through the same thing. I hated myself, the way I looked and it came from no where. I eventually went counselling and it was the best thing I ever did. I feel like a changed woman. I learnt to love myself again and with the help of God. It wasn't easy and it still isn't. Self love is a journey and we will have moments where we fall out of love with ourselves but we have to remember it is only for as season and we will love ourselves again. x

    Breeny Lee: I listen to your videos every single morning. Sometimes I need reassurance that I do not HAVE to deal with these sometimes guys and sometimes friendships. Then I came across this video at the right time today. I needed this b/c I have started my soul searching and changes July 2017. Today, Is the day I acknowledge my restarting is coming faster. It doesn't take me years or months anymore to understand my worth and I am not wrong about keeping my energy safe. It now takes me weeks to notice a get myself back together. THANK YOU BREENY!!!! To hear this from a female that looks like me from skin complexion to the soul is breath taken. To know I am not alone feels so good. Now I am crying.

    Thank you so much Breeny .After so much googling these past 2 days to justify why I want to shave my head again, I stumbled on your video. I have been struggling with beauty these days. Somehow it is linked to being unemployed for 2 years, some go to the refrigerator and eat, I go to the mirror and beat myself up. I also know that it is because I am in my 50s, I run 8 kms every day and I still feel extremely ugly. I also know it is because I feel condemned yet I am a Christian who should not feel any condemnation. I shaved my hair last year for the whole year and I felt so free. Then I let my hair grow back and the more it grew the more I felt the need to wear a wig. The more I felt the need to wear a wig, the more I felt ugly and the more I see imperfections. I am shaving my head tomorrow. It is my head and it is my life.

    I have spent the whole of 2019 with a shaved/bald head and I feel more beautiful than I did when I had long hair.
    Its truly freeing to find beauty in yourself aside from the hairstyle you're wearing. Just having a blank canvas and feeling confident. 😃
    Thank you @Breenylee for sharing your story, I was so encouraged

You are stunning hun

    I just shaved my head for the first time two days ago. I did it because I was not happy with my 10 year natural hair journey. My hair was uneven, breaking off, dry, I never learned to love my 4c hair texture. I was hoping it would be a 3. So in essence I couldn't accept that my hair was the way I was and I low key hated it. I recently just told my self, it is what it is, it's beautiful, get over it. I've had a low self image about my looks since middle school. I was bullied for 3 years for having a high forehead, among other things. So, I've always tried to cover that part of me. Shaving my head has satisfied my need to start over, but has also brought up these insecurities. I found your video because I'm trying to be confident with my bald head inside AND outside my house. Your video brought me to tears. I will be subscribing. Thank you for what you do!

  • @cherelled6419
    @cherelled6419 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What a lovely video. I hope you find this next chapter in your life as rewarding as I have/am doing. I shaved all my hair off a few years ago for pretty much the same reasons as you have listed in this video and it has really helped me to really love myself, rather than put on a persona that other people will like about me. I have never been so confident in how I think about myself.
    There will be some days when you feel very insecure about having no hair and there will be some rude people who just feel the need to put their insecurities onto you, but please do not give in and hide YOUR beauty - its these days when you grow.
    Much love and respect to you xx

    This video is beautiful, thank you for sharing Breeny. I love the way you think and I for one feel the same as you. The struggle to live up to society's beauty stands is so harmful and toxic to the mind. If only we were all taught to practice self love and acceptance at a young age, then maybe we wouldn't be feeling like this. I can't wait for your new series, it's just what a lot of us need. It's going to be awesome! xXx

    The journey to self love is a rollercoaster but it is worth the ride. I've been insecure my entire childhood and I always felt as if I wasn't good enough. Just like you I searched for love in all the wrong places to fill that void in my heart/life. it made me depressed and at one point drove me crazy. In 2017 I made the decision to cut my hair and start over and as my hair grew I grew with it spiritually and mentally.
    Speaking your truth can be risky but if you do speak you can be the voice for the voiceless. Breeny lee your videos are amazing and you gave me the courage to speak out on things I was afraid to speak on. Because of your bravery and courage I'll be able to help girls that are afraid to come out and speak their truth. We need more Real life influencers and less on being fake and living up to social media standards. This is real RAW, REAL AND TRUE.

    This video made you so much more relatable to me. I struggle with depression/anxiety/self image issues constantly. Breeny you are seriously one of the most breathtakingly beautiful women I've ever seen..I feel like youve got a kind soul just by watching your videos too. And to know that you struggle with similar issues like me is sad (because I hate that we feel this way) but also inspired (because I know that I'm not the only person that's struggling..even someone who I thought would never know what it feels like to not feel confident all the time is brave enough to be open about it.) Thank you for sharing & allowing us to be a part of your journey. I hope one day I'll have the courage to take the steps to being the best person I can for myself. ❤️
