Sophia, as someone who just turned 48, I’ll just tell you that as you keep aging and growing into the many versions of Sophia (because even when you get my age, you’ll still be learning so many fascinating things about yourself!), you’re going to look back at your 20s and realize how much time you wasted stressing about certain things. It’s wasted energy. And I know that it’s a part of everyone’s personal journey to feel what they feel when they are feeling it, so I want to be compassionate in that regard. Your 20s are supposed to be the era where you’re still figuring things out, having fun, finding your footing in life. You’re being waaaaaay too hard on yourself. You aren’t any less worthy or valuable because you’re still single, or aren’t where you want to be in life. Thank the universe for this time ALONE to truly pour into YOU. Trust me, you aren’t missing anything. Lol Men come and go. Being single is not a death sentence nor is it any indication of being a failure at life. Don’t base your happiness on a man, EVER. Love on those who love you and treat yourself like the QUEEN YOU ARE, regardless. You’re such an inspiration to so many people, and I truly hope you feel that. ♥️
thank you for this. in my 20s now and indeed, i tend to stress over even the tiniest things in life. kept worrying if i'll regret every step that ive decided to take on. i feel like my 20s will be the sole determinant of my future. so, thank you for spending time leaving such a positive comment :)
Yup this exactly. I’m turning 49 in a couple weeks and feel like I’m still learning who I am and DEFINITELY have no idea what I’m doing sometimes. Annnnnd I’ve been single for 4 years and wouldn’t trade it for the world…this time alone has been so joyful and healing. There’s a reason those women who are over 100 all say their secret to long life is staying single lol
@@MariLuz0424 Exactly! LOL I’m single as well, and have been for a while. This is the most peaceful my life has ever been. Do I desire a companion one day? Yes. But I don’t lose sleep over not having one.
Hey Sophie. I'm 31 and married with a baby and a house. I long for a quiet peaceful life with time for myself like you have. Just letting you know, we never feel like we have it all 💖
So true! I’m the same I’m married with 3 little ones.. ages 10, 8, 4… sometimes I wish I could lay on some grass at the park and enjoy a nice cool breeze Or just to have a nice dinner out. Enjoy your time girl. Good things will come.
To be so transparent and vulnerable and emotionally naked online, that takes a lot of courage. Doing so opens you up to judgement and criticism. Thankfully you have an amazing fan base here on TH-cam and are surrounded by people who love and support you. You have inspired me to start showing up for myself. Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome ❤️
Sophia you are glowing and evolving and I just love to see it. You inspire me to want to grow and find peace in both the ups and downs of life. You’re doing better than you’re feeling 💜
In my friend group, I was the last one to get into a serious relationship. We met on the week of my 33rd birthday. My two best friends got married in 2017 then again in 2019. And at that time, I was still single. If I learned anything, it’s that everyone has different timelines. You will have your own. My only advice is to try to be more open to dating potentials and meeting new people. I went on some really weird blind dates set up by a granny from work but man, did those make for some hilarious stories LOL At some point, you will click with someone, you just havent found that special person yet 😉 You are beautiful, smart and successful. You are definitely marriage material. I definitely had my sad days when I felt lonely and unhappy with where I was in life. But just like you, I travelled, hung out with friends, did crossfit, went solo travelling (I highly recommend Kauai) and spent lots of quality time with my family. Excited to see what is in store for you. Much ❤️ to you Sophia! Happy birthday! Trust me, this decade will be >>>>> 20s
It really breaks my heart seeing you cry, Sophia. I want you to know that YOU ARE more than ENOUGH and DESERVING of so much love. Sending you the warmest hugs and all the love in my heart! Happy Happy 30th, beautiful! Looking forward to seeing you happier each week.❤️❤️❤️❤️
The intro literally shook my soul. Who else edits like this?! These vlogs are like short films. I'm also turning 30 in a few months, and have had the wildest, emotional time during the past few years. I totally relate to Sophia more than ever before. I believe we will survive these growing pains 🖤
“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” ― Brené Brown
To Sophia and everyone else who's going to turn 30, everything will get better! Me too, I felt so many emotions prior to turning 30. I cried on my 29th bday. But the 30s has been just so amazing so far! I feel like I'm living life finally! And I'm going to be 33 already! Hang in there everyone!
Same for me. I was so sad and lonely and broke and lost when turning 30. But my 30s have been full of adventures, especially times between 32 and 35, so many travels, meeting new people ...
I’m 5 years into my 30s and I remember thinking I was old and didn’t accomplish anything when I turned 30, especially compared to my friends. Hell, I still can’t afford a house. But, like my mother said age happens to us all, time does care. Live your life like it’s your last. be out to growth and change. I quite enjoy my 30s now, I’ll be turning 36 this year, four years away from the big 40. And I’m looking forward to it. It means I’m not dead 😄
Who else is emotional because they’ve been watching Sophia since her rave and purple hair days?! Oh how we are so lucky to have watched you grow into a beautifully grounded WOMAN. Love and light Sophia ✨
Not me crying into my kimchi fried rice right now. 🥺 This hit me to the core. Sophia, I have been a silent follower for almost 10 years and your content has always made me feel seen (especially this one). I hope you know you have helped me get through the darkest of times with your beautiful content.
I've never resonated with a vlog more than I have this one. I'm turning 29 this year and the past year alone has been one of the most transformative. I'm constantly in a place of feeling like I'm running out of time yet feeling like the days/hardships are just dragging. This waiting period of growing, becoming better, and giving ourselves the love we always were worthy of can be so painful and beautiful at the same time. We got this
This got me tearing!!! As a 26 year old, I'm in a constant fear of not being enough come 30. There's so much pressure surrounding me and I can't keep up. Thank you for making me realize that we can still grow, change and live! You inspire me Sophia!!! Thank you for being around! Happy Birthday! :)
i am turning 30 this year, and i am having exact mood starting 2 years ago, self-doubt, depression, unpassionate about everything and unhappy about everything. everyone's life is tough and has a lot of things to experience, we can get better and live along with good and bad. happy birthday sophia, we all can go through with it!

I acknowledge you for being so honest and vulnerable. You're so beautiful, loved and supported just as you are.
So beautiful to see this comment from you even though you are in your own place of hurt right now, Chloe. You and Sophia are both very beautiful souls and it is so lovely you share your love with this community. :)
It's crazy because I am going through the same thing right now at 25. I am the most aware that I have ever been but I feel the most insecure, unworthy, and depressed I have ever been. My heart dropped when you explained how this was how you felt for a while... I know that we can get through this but thank you for sharing because I don't feel so alone... Thank you, Sophie. I love you.
Girl, before turning 30 I cried for like two months. I think 30’s are attached to thinking we will have it “all together” but remind yourself this is just the worlds standards. Your right were your suppose to be and let this year be the best year yet to fill that void with self love! Love you sis, we got this 🤍🙏🏽
I’m turning 30 this year as well, and sometimes I feel the same like you, vulnerable, anxious, crying at nights… and don’t know what to do to fix all the feelings. But thank you Sophia, after watching your videos for years, you just like the girl that I admire and wannabe, at the same time you also the girl I can relate to. I’ve learned so much from you, to be brave, active, facing towards those “bad” feelings and trying to deal with them. I believe we both can live the most in our 30s, we will keep growing and glowing ✨
I always feel like when I go through these emotional coasters, or not feeling like myself anymore is actually apart of me that is peeling away. Like my younger self is shedding away and the more mature self is slowly coming to surface. That's why it hurts. Your shedding your old self to make room for the new you.
Love that you showed the importance of crying it out and just reflecting upon it. Often times people beat themselves of showing "weakness"(guilty of that myself) and brush things off to the side. When in reality, that's one of the most important times for self heal. Suppressing those emotions will only lead to a major mental breakdown... resulting to illness and feeling lost of hope. Very inspiring to see as I'm trying to discover myself in my early 20s and find my place in the world. I need to express those emotions more and I only see an increase in awareness as time goes on. Thank you for that🙏
30 is a whole new shit and I’m still learning. I turned 30 10/2021. 30 hit me on point…. I was at a job that I loved doing. But new management was bad and etc. I took a week vacation to Temecula after I turned 30. During my vacation… I did a lot of self reflect. I didn’t wanna go back to work once vacation was coming to an end. I wanted things to be better- my health and mental health. I called in another week and when I got back, I put in a week notice that I was leaving. I was a SUD counselor… I had a lot to do but again loved what I do. Got counselor of the year a month before 30th bday too. But besides all that… I know I have to leave. My last day at work was bittersweet. It’s like leaving a unhealthy toxic relationship when you know you don’t want to. But hang on there Sophie. This is 30. WE ARE ALL still trying to figure ourselves and life out- doesn’t matter how old we are. Surround yourself with supportive friends & families. That’s the best advice for now lol. Some days I find myself feeling lost… or depressed. I still don’t know what to do but tell myself “it’s going to be okay”, and sometimes distract myself with TikTok, movies, and meditation. I’m planning to seek counseling/therapy as well. Just don’t know where or how to start.
Hi Sophia! I have been following your vlogs and this one was one of the most emotional and inspirational videos you have put out (also happy birthday!!). I am the same age as you and I wanted to let you know that I felt what you said when you thought your life would be somewhere else at 30, I also thought the same way too that life would be more settled and stable (married, children, home, etc) but what I realized is that no one's life is ever stable and settled. You can only get better day by day and I truly find your videos healing to anyone who is a little lost in life or feeling unworthy because we all are and no one should have to go through it alone.
Sophia, the way I feel connected to you have been inspiring me. I have been going through a lot in the past year and just listening to your words and knowing that is ok to be vulnerable helps me everytime I watch one of your videos. Thank you. Happy birthday and happy life
Dear Sophia, you are an amazing story teller with wonderful visuals that make me cry and feel with you. I love watching your videos and you give me so much strengh by showing your vunerability. You are not alone and thank you for sharing your story.
Somehow watching this now as someone who has already gone through a similar period of healing has made me appreciate how tough it truly is to heal from trauma and pain. You are a star for wanting to go through the nitty and gritty of healing and all that is uncomfortable and that no one seems to talk about. As hard as it was, I kept my sails up and kept walking toward that small glimmer of light that was true acceptance and happiness. Through all the changes (career, love, and personal relationships) more than ever I have grounded in the knowledge that my vulnerability is what gives me the power I need to get through these tough times. I hope you come to a point in your journey where you are able to feel this level of comfortability and confidence. Love you!
Thank m turning 30 in a year and a half and I'm loving how you just expressed the reality of what 30 can be . Life if ever evolving and to think everything will be set and stone but a certain age isn't realistic.
The ending made me cry because I turn 30 next yr and it’s been a lot to think about. Losing the last yrs of my 20s to a pandemic, stressed, and working a job I didn’t love
This vlog couldn't have come out at a better time. I'm going through the same ups and downs, lonely nights and just worrying about what's unknowing to me. I'm turning 30 next month and I'm beyond anxious, scared, doubtful of where my life is right now. I went back to school for a career change and it's feels as if I'm to old to go back to school but it's something I want to do to make me happy. There are times though where I sit and wonder what would life be like if I hadn't make some of the mistakes I've made during the first 29 years of my 20s and I sometimes regret the choices I've made. But, I can't change the past, all I can do is look towards the present, the moment I'm living now and continue to evolve as a person, a woman who shouldn't place boundaries on herself because of what society has taught us and continue living and growing and learning about myself. So I definitely resonate with you on this Sophia. It's definitely a scary feeling turning 30 but all we can do is just enjoy our days and keep living for us and keep loving ourselves for coming this far in our life. Can't wait to see the positive and love and newcomings of this new journey of your life brings. ❤️
Hi Sophie, you know. I have been there exactly where you are right now. I moved 4 years abroad, and here I had to rebuild my life. It hasn’t been easy, but it as been an enriching experience, sometimes I miss being in my twenties, but now with 33 years old I feel so grateful with lo the hard work I put on myself.
you are beautiful Sophia, inside & out and you never know how much people youre inspiring with this kind of vlog, That includes me! I am 30, married, no baby, left my job, started a business but still figuring things out . It feels depressing sometimes but I hold on to the fact that, whatever i am feeling - this will pass. I will come out victorious. Praying for your happiness babe
Happy birthday Sophia ! You are an amazing individual and have grown so much since I’ve started watching you 7 years ago. You are loved very much and have become such an amazing woman. Congrats on 30 and cheers to many more hopefully and prosperous years to come!
Happy belated birthday Sophia! 🥳 92 baby here too and I feel exactly the same. I’m so anxious about turning 30 in 2 months because I don’t have the life that I thought I would have. I’m not married, I don’t have babies etc. But every one has a different timeline
Happy birthday Sophia, you are my comfort person and thank you for inspiring me to start giving more love to myself and always to take care of myself. watching this at 1 am and goshhh cried when you said" I'm 30 , single, and mentally unstable" ..im in my mid 20's and its been hard for me but your videos always cheer me up to work out, eat right, and that its okay not to be okay
Sophia, the vulnerability you share is truly impactful and shows such strength and resilience. I am 22, and I believe that hearing your thoughts and expectations on turning 30 will be as important to hear now as well as it will be in 8 years when I turn 30 myself, thank you for sharing! happy birthday - sending you all the love and hugs 🤍
Happy birthday Sophia ! Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. Can't believe it's been 8 years since I watched your first video. I remember thinking what a badass you are and I want to be just like that. So many years gone by but I still feel so happy whenever your video comes up - its been a little treat for my soul every week. You are more than enough and i hope you know how inspiring you are. Hope this year brings good health and lots of happy moments to you !
Watching you on and off over the years has truly been a blessing. Somehow I always come back to your channel at a times when I need them, seeing your journey and progress has helped me immensely in my own journey. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your journey Sophia. I’ll be 30 next year & I’m overwhelmed. Thank you for all the beautiful, important reminders of self-care & self love. Stay strong… you got this!
Watching u crying Sophie makes me think about my life right now. Back when I was in my teen years watching ur vlogs I'm always jealeous I'd always say I want to have Sophia's life so bad. But seeing u makes me think that despite of having everything happiness isn't really all about "Having things" happiness comes from within. I'm praying for your inner peace and calmness. I adore u so much💐😌
As someone who is in her early 20s and in college,watching you feels so comforting.we were always told that by the time you're out of your 10s you gotta be mature and get your shit together,so seeing someone older than me who is still trying to figure out life really comforts me You're the big sis I never got but always wanted hahaha thank you for that~(cuz I'm the big sis of the fam hahaha)
Sophie, I have been a silent follower for 7 years.. and I have never felt as much as I do now that we are in very similar places in our lives. I turned 30 in December, and just ended a long term relationship of 6 years. The talk you have with yourself of all the self loathing, hate, and unworthiness resonates so deeply with me. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone. If only you could see how all of us see you
Happy Birthday!!! Honestly so proud of you and this journey you are on! I relate so much to having the realization of what my life actually is and learning to be gentle with myself along the way. We are all in this together and will continue on this crazy beautiful wild ride of life!
ty for sharing your vulnerability with us & i have nothing but to say that you’re doing well and everything will be worth it, slowly but surely. sending you light and warmth 🤍✨
It takes courage for people to help themselves and love themselves, and I love the courage you are showing in that order. thank you for showing the world how tough it could be to feel good and at peace with one's self.
Happy 30th Sophia!!! Omg! You made me cry! I’ve been watching your vlogs for a while now and Just know you’re making impact. I’m also turning 30 at the end of this year, and I can relate to a lot of the things you shared in this video. You are not alone; you are loved even though I don’t know you personally! Here is to being 30 and fabulous! 🥂🍹🥳🤎🤎
I didn’t expect to cry watching this. I can relate to you so deeply. I’m 31, living alone, single, and also struggling with my mental health and loving myself. I can’t tell you how much these vulnerable videos help your viewers cope with not feeling so alone, especially in a world where you feel like everyone around you is progressing through life (getting married, having kids, etc). But as you said, this is a painful but necessary part to go through, and I try to remind myself of that too. It brings me more peace knowing we’re not alone, and someday it’ll all make sense why we went through this. Thank you Sophia 🤍
The only thing I want to do right now is hug you tight and let you feel that you’re not alone ❤️ Love you Sophie💕You deserve every goodness in this world ❣️
Sophia, thank you so much for choosing to be vulnerable with us. wish you all the best on your journey and keep treating yourself with compassion and kindness.
Hugss! This is my first time commenting on your video, but I've been your supporter for many years now. I just want to tell you that God loves you so much! You are His beloved and He cares for every single detail of your life. I declare complete healing, peace that surpasses all understanding, strength and overflowing wisdom and clarity of purpose for you, Sophia. The best is yet to come!!! love youuu!!!
Can’t stop crying…. Very much relatable what one goes through. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. I’m so grateful that I am not alone. Happy Birthday Sophia!
Thanks for growing up with me Sophia. Seeing you cry made me ball my eyes out thinking about the past ten years. And Sophia, you are always more than enough!
"thank you for being a part of my journey" - and thank you Soph for sharing it, we all here love you so so much. im getting close to 30 and i find myself reflecting a lot and being more critical and harsh on myself wondering wtf im doing and if im doing things right. you helped me realize im not alone in this and i hope that one day you and i can heal n be happier with ourselves
It’s so heart breaking to see you, to hear you cry Sophia. Life is so beautiful even in between a lot of the grey-dull colors that tint the colors of life. There needs to be rain for a rainbow. 🌈 little steps each day is enough. Presence in the now rather than the future. Big hug to you Sophia and anyone else having a hard time too. ❤️❤️✨
I love you, Sophia! Happy Birthday! You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are pursuing an unrivaled destiny and you are beautiful just the way you are. Thank you for being so vulnerable in your channel, and in every social media account that you have. Thank you for being the core of a lovely community that promotes positivity and emulates how to embrace our weak and frustrating spots. Thank you for loving what you do, it speaks so much of how genuine you are. I am 23, still figuring out how my life will unfold, but because of content creators like you, I know and I am confident that I am in a safe place. You conditioned me and taught me that it won't be easy to get by, but it's manageable and the journey is worthwhile. Cheers to many more laughter and crying moments, at the end of the day, these mundane parts of us let our hearts beat again. Blessings!
Weird how the most stylish, beautiful success full looking persons are the most tormented ones on the inside. Hope you can let go on the "i have to be like this and this at this point in my life" and can begin to flow with the days and enjoy your life journey also on the inside. You can do this! Don t be so hard on yourself!
i love that you capture the reality of growing. therapy was one of the best investments into myself! like you said growing is an ongoing process, you don’t just wake up one day “fixed”. some days are better than others but it is encouraging knowing that you’re pouring into your own life bc you deserve it❤️
I think this is a vital stage for you to go through and the future can only get better, you will look back and be grateful for how this period your going through shaped you and made you more complete😊
We’re around the same age and I’ve been watching your channel since I was in college, maybe even before then. I hope you give yourself some grace and compassion and celebrate the small wins, and soften the parts of yourself you may find hardest to love right now. Happy birthday love 💗🥺
Such a beautifully well made video. Appreciate your authenticity and vulnerability, it's what helps connect us and realize we're all in this thing together - we're all humans, experiencing human emotions. Kudos to you for putting in the hard work to grow and expand, it's not easy and can be quite exhausting. Give yourself a break now and then to rejoice in how far you've come. Remember that you've built such a loving and supportive community (YOU did that!) and you're not alone. Sending you lots of love ❤️ xx P.S. LOL at you running back to grab your camera after the car scene - the things we do to 'get the shot'! 😅
I had to pause and write this.. ( I don’t usually leave comments unless it really touches me) I’ve been following you for years now and I honestly feel like I’ve grown since then and I love seeing you grow as well. You’re just an amazing person and I love watching you share these genuine moments with us.
Oh, beautiful Sophia. Here I am crying on my lunch break because I feel like I'm in the exact same place as you. I think one thing people often neglect to recognize is that in self-growth there can be profound grief there. We forget how hard it can be to say goodbye to a future we never had, to the person we thought we would become. There is hope now for a different and more healing kind of future, but at the same time, I hope you know you're not alone in your experiences of grief, sadness, and loneliness. You give us all hope.
I just finished watching your video and I have never felt so connected to someone I’ve never met before. The ending to that video was so beautiful and it describes everything that I’m going through right now within myself and I just wanna say thank you. Not only do I feel seen but I’m so happy that you’re putting this message out there for everyone else to feel with you. I’m so thankful for you and the content that you share and I really wish you true happiness.
Sophia, girl I feel the exact same way. I turn 30 next year and I too am not where I pictured myself being. I absolutely love the way you have been showing this season of life and how so many of us can relate. Thank you for showing this part of life. Oh and I too have a hard time finding glasses that fit my Native American face frame!!! You are in my thoughts 🤍
Wow Sophia.. thank you so much for your vulnerability and openness. I'm going through a similar conversation with myself lately after experiencing a lot of anxiety in the last year and a break up of a 5 yr relationship. I have had the exact same thoughts as you: I would do anything in the world for the ones I love but why can't I do the same for myself? I'm glad to see that you have been able to view this time in your life as an opportunity for growth, I hope this for myself too.
you are so beautiful ❤ I just had to say. Like many I’m going through some stuff. Lost my mum suddenly last year and my best friend of fifteen years turned out to be not so much a friend a month or two ago. ALSO I had surgery to remove my gallbladder yesterday after months and months of agonising pain and not knowing and I feel so alone and crappy. I just want to thank you for the amazing vlogs, I feel not so alone when I watch. ❤ All my thanks and love to you xx
Same Sophia same. All I can say is stay strong, optimistic, and keep showing up for yourself time and time again. Sending you all the love and light now and always. 🤍
Sweet Sophia, thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing your emotions. If you take a look around you will see everything you have accomplished. You are worthy and yes life has just begun ✨️ here's to 30, a new beautiful chapter begins ❤️
Okay okay! Soph I had to pause the video midway at 9:20 after your driveway scene to say I actually appreciate you being extra! Your way to visually storytell is what has made me follow you for 10 years. It’s a gift. In my *ignorant* opinion I honestly think it’s your gift and what beyond TH-cam you can aspire to pursue if you haven’t thought to do so already! Okay, I’m going to hit resume now…
thank you for being so open and raw with us! we love you so much beautiful, and you are loved more than you can ever imagine. watching this gave me so many feels (about to turn 34 in a few weeks, and i've been feeling similarly since the year started) i hope and pray that this new decade of your life you're starting to embark on brings much more peace, clarify, and lots of joy to you - happy birthday girl, and God bless always ❤️
I always love all your videos, but for some reason this video hit right at that spot of mine too, especially the last part of the video where you talk about hitting thirty? And the moment you broke down, I was emotional just like you, this video is by far one of my fav video content 🥺🥺 and if I ever have the chance to meet you irl, I would run to you and give you a huge tight hug. Sop! You’re beautiful, strong, respectful and have a really kind soul (eventho I’ve not meet you) but I know you do, from watching all your videos for years and decade. You truly is one of a kind and we are all here for you as a community and your fan! Stay happy as always even in your 40s or 50s and many more! - v
It's I good to know there are more people struggling with mental health. Even though I don't know you, I want to thank you for sharing and making me feel less alone. Sending you much love
Happy birthday, Sophia! Thanks for being so vulnerable ❤️ Despite how hard it may be sharing your struggles, it is the most relatable. Thinking about you and wishing you peace and stillness. Presence and awareness is how we achieve happiness 🤍
i'm turning 28 this year, and the pressures from society, people i see and the people around me definitely wear me down sometimes. the milestones you're "supposed" to reach by a certain time are pressures you give yourself based on what you see. somehow you're less successful, less desirable, less accomplished (especially as women) if you're not dating, married, have kids, have a stable job, have a house, etc. letting go of those expectations is hard, but going through life thinking you need to check off a list "and then i'll be happy" when you check everything off is no way to live. it neglects to acknowledge things you've already accomplished and just living in the present when you're always looking for the future to be satisfied.
This vlog was beautiful. Your eye for shooting is amazing. I've been a subscriber for some years now and your growth and strength is so admirable. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. 💖
I’ve been having a really hard time lately…this video gives me such an immense amount of hope and comfort. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it’s truly an honor 💗
That’s exactly what my therapist asked me “would you ever speak to your friends the way that you talk to yourself”. No, I’m kind to them. I need to be kinder to myself. That was a huge breakthrough.
This was beautiful and so powerful. I just turned 30 a couple months ago & everything you said resonated so much with where I am on my journey. Appreciate your transparency. Sending you love
Sophia, as someone who just turned 48, I’ll just tell you that as you keep aging and growing into the many versions of Sophia (because even when you get my age, you’ll still be learning so many fascinating things about yourself!), you’re going to look back at your 20s and realize how much time you wasted stressing about certain things. It’s wasted energy. And I know that it’s a part of everyone’s personal journey to feel what they feel when they are feeling it, so I want to be compassionate in that regard.
Your 20s are supposed to be the era where you’re still figuring things out, having fun, finding your footing in life. You’re being waaaaaay too hard on yourself. You aren’t any less worthy or valuable because you’re still single, or aren’t where you want to be in life. Thank the universe for this time ALONE to truly pour into YOU. Trust me, you aren’t missing anything. Lol Men come and go. Being single is not a death sentence nor is it any indication of being a failure at life. Don’t base your happiness on a man, EVER. Love on those who love you and treat yourself like the QUEEN YOU ARE, regardless. You’re such an inspiration to so many people, and I truly hope you feel that. ♥️
thank you for this. in my 20s now and indeed, i tend to stress over even the tiniest things in life. kept worrying if i'll regret every step that ive decided to take on. i feel like my 20s will be the sole determinant of my future. so, thank you for spending time leaving such a positive comment :)
Yup this exactly. I’m turning 49 in a couple weeks and feel like I’m still learning who I am and DEFINITELY have no idea what I’m doing sometimes. Annnnnd I’ve been single for 4 years and wouldn’t trade it for the world…this time alone has been so joyful and healing. There’s a reason those women who are over 100 all say their secret to long life is staying single lol
@@MariLuz0424 Exactly! LOL I’m single as well, and have been for a while. This is the most peaceful my life has ever been. Do I desire a companion one day? Yes. But I don’t lose sleep over not having one.

Hey Sophie. I'm 31 and married with a baby and a house. I long for a quiet peaceful life with time for myself like you have. Just letting you know, we never feel like we have it all 💖
This is so true. That’s why we have to find true happiness within ourselves .
I second this!
So true! I’m the same I’m married with 3 little ones.. ages 10, 8, 4… sometimes I wish I could lay on some grass at the park and enjoy a nice cool breeze Or just to have a nice dinner out.
Enjoy your time girl. Good things will come.
@@margaretlopez8351 thank you 💗💗
Grass is always greener on the other side. We really have to appreciate the small pleasures in life and prioritize finding happiness and beauty 🥲
To be so transparent and vulnerable and emotionally naked online, that takes a lot of courage. Doing so opens you up to judgement and criticism. Thankfully you have an amazing fan base here on TH-cam and are surrounded by people who love and support you. You have inspired me to start showing up for myself.
Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome ❤️
Sophia you are glowing and evolving and I just love to see it. You inspire me to want to grow and find peace in both the ups and downs of life. You’re doing better than you’re feeling 💜
In my friend group, I was the last one to get into a serious relationship. We met on the week of my 33rd birthday.
My two best friends got married in 2017 then again in 2019. And at that time, I was still single.
If I learned anything, it’s that everyone has different timelines. You will have your own. My only advice is to try to be more open to dating potentials and meeting new people. I went on some really weird blind dates set up by a granny from work but man, did those make for some hilarious stories LOL
At some point, you will click with someone, you just havent found that special person yet 😉 You are beautiful, smart and successful. You are definitely marriage material. I definitely had my sad days when I felt lonely and unhappy with where I was in life. But just like you, I travelled, hung out with friends, did crossfit, went solo travelling (I highly recommend Kauai) and spent lots of quality time with my family. Excited to see what is in store for you.
Much ❤️ to you Sophia!
Happy birthday! Trust me, this decade will be >>>>> 20s
👍🏽! Great advice!
I’m still singe at 39
Can you please elaborate more on traveling solo in Kauai? Thank you.
It really breaks my heart seeing you cry, Sophia.
I want you to know that YOU ARE more than ENOUGH and DESERVING of so much love. Sending you the warmest hugs and all the love in my heart!
Happy Happy 30th, beautiful! Looking forward to seeing you happier each week.❤️❤️❤️❤️
The intro literally shook my soul. Who else edits like this?! These vlogs are like short films.
I'm also turning 30 in a few months, and have had the wildest, emotional time during the past few years. I totally relate to Sophia more than ever before. I believe we will survive these growing pains 🖤
i agree, sophie always nails it while still keeping herself familiar
“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” ― Brené Brown
I wish I could "like" this video a million times. I love you so much. 30 is only the beginning. 🤍
To Sophia and everyone else who's going to turn 30, everything will get better!
Me too, I felt so many emotions prior to turning 30. I cried on my 29th bday. But the 30s has been just so amazing so far! I feel like I'm living life finally! And I'm going to be 33 already!
Hang in there everyone!
Same for me. I was so sad and lonely and broke and lost when turning 30. But my 30s have been full of adventures, especially times between 32 and 35, so many travels, meeting new people ...
Agree with this. I'm 32 this year and feel like 30's have been better than 20's! Don't ask me about 40 though lol.
I'm turning 30 this year, as well so I really appreciate this!
Thank you for this! I turn 30 on Wednesday and filled with so many emotions.
I felt like this too! I feel like my 30’s have been more about me in a way that my 20’s weren’t.
I’m 5 years into my 30s and I remember thinking I was old and didn’t accomplish anything when I turned 30, especially compared to my friends. Hell, I still can’t afford a house. But, like my mother said age happens to us all, time does care. Live your life like it’s your last. be out to growth and change. I quite enjoy my 30s now, I’ll be turning 36 this year, four years away from the big 40. And I’m looking forward to it. It means I’m not dead 😄
Who else is emotional because they’ve been watching Sophia since her rave and purple hair days?! Oh how we are so lucky to have watched you grow into a beautifully grounded WOMAN. Love and light Sophia ✨
30 is going to be your year. I'm sure. ❤
Not me crying into my kimchi fried rice right now. 🥺
This hit me to the core. Sophia, I have been a silent follower for almost 10 years and your content has always made me feel seen (especially this one). I hope you know you have helped me get through the darkest of times with your beautiful content.
This means so much. Thank you 🖤
I've never resonated with a vlog more than I have this one. I'm turning 29 this year and the past year alone has been one of the most transformative. I'm constantly in a place of feeling like I'm running out of time yet feeling like the days/hardships are just dragging. This waiting period of growing, becoming better, and giving ourselves the love we always were worthy of can be so painful and beautiful at the same time. We got this
This got me tearing!!! As a 26 year old, I'm in a constant fear of not being enough come 30. There's so much pressure surrounding me and I can't keep up. Thank you for making me realize that we can still grow, change and live! You inspire me Sophia!!! Thank you for being around! Happy Birthday! :)
I’m 26 and I feel the same way. Sending you much love and grace 🤍
i am turning 30 this year, and i am having exact mood starting 2 years ago, self-doubt, depression, unpassionate about everything and unhappy about everything. everyone's life is tough and has a lot of things to experience, we can get better and live along with good and bad. happy birthday sophia, we all can go through with it!
I acknowledge you for being so honest and vulnerable. You're so beautiful, loved and supported just as you are.
So beautiful to see this comment from you even though you are in your own place of hurt right now, Chloe. You and Sophia are both very beautiful souls and it is so lovely you share your love with this community. :)
It's crazy because I am going through the same thing right now at 25. I am the most aware that I have ever been but I feel the most insecure, unworthy, and depressed I have ever been. My heart dropped when you explained how this was how you felt for a while... I know that we can get through this but thank you for sharing because I don't feel so alone... Thank you, Sophie. I love you.
Jesus loves you so much!
Girl, before turning 30 I cried for like two months. I think 30’s are attached to thinking we will have it “all together” but remind yourself this is just the worlds standards. Your right were your suppose to be and let this year be the best year yet to fill that void with self love! Love you sis, we got this 🤍🙏🏽
I’m turning 30 this year as well, and sometimes I feel the same like you, vulnerable, anxious, crying at nights… and don’t know what to do to fix all the feelings. But thank you Sophia, after watching your videos for years, you just like the girl that I admire and wannabe, at the same time you also the girl I can relate to. I’ve learned so much from you, to be brave, active, facing towards those “bad” feelings and trying to deal with them. I believe we both can live the most in our 30s, we will keep growing and glowing ✨
I always feel like when I go through these emotional coasters, or not feeling like myself anymore is actually apart of me that is peeling away. Like my younger self is shedding away and the more mature self is slowly coming to surface. That's why it hurts. Your shedding your old self to make room for the new you.
Love that you showed the importance of crying it out and just reflecting upon it. Often times people beat themselves of showing "weakness"(guilty of that myself) and brush things off to the side. When in reality, that's one of the most important times for self heal. Suppressing those emotions will only lead to a major mental breakdown... resulting to illness and feeling lost of hope.
Very inspiring to see as I'm trying to discover myself in my early 20s and find my place in the world. I need to express those emotions more and I only see an increase in awareness as time goes on. Thank you for that🙏
30 is a whole new shit and I’m still learning. I turned 30 10/2021. 30 hit me on point…. I was at a job that I loved doing. But new management was bad and etc. I took a week vacation to Temecula after I turned 30. During my vacation… I did a lot of self reflect. I didn’t wanna go back to work once vacation was coming to an end. I wanted things to be better- my health and mental health. I called in another week and when I got back, I put in a week notice that I was leaving. I was a SUD counselor… I had a lot to do but again loved what I do. Got counselor of the year a month before 30th bday too. But besides all that… I know I have to leave. My last day at work was bittersweet. It’s like leaving a unhealthy toxic relationship when you know you don’t want to. But hang on there Sophie. This is 30. WE ARE ALL still trying to figure ourselves and life out- doesn’t matter how old we are. Surround yourself with supportive friends & families. That’s the best advice for now lol. Some days I find myself feeling lost… or depressed. I still don’t know what to do but tell myself “it’s going to be okay”, and sometimes distract myself with TikTok, movies, and meditation. I’m planning to seek counseling/therapy as well. Just don’t know where or how to start.
Your videos give me a sense of healing. Thank you for sharing your journey. My heart goes out to you.
Hi Sophia! I have been following your vlogs and this one was one of the most emotional and inspirational videos you have put out (also happy birthday!!). I am the same age as you and I wanted to let you know that I felt what you said when you thought your life would be somewhere else at 30, I also thought the same way too that life would be more settled and stable (married, children, home, etc) but what I realized is that no one's life is ever stable and settled. You can only get better day by day and I truly find your videos healing to anyone who is a little lost in life or feeling unworthy because we all are and no one should have to go through it alone.
Sophia, the way I feel connected to you have been inspiring me. I have been going through a lot in the past year and just listening to your words and knowing that is ok to be vulnerable helps me everytime I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
Happy birthday and happy life
sophia i love how your vlogs give off that mature feminine vibe. I love it whenever I need that kind of vlog some days!
Dear Sophia, you are an amazing story teller with wonderful visuals that make me cry and feel with you. I love watching your videos and you give me so much strengh by showing your vunerability. You are not alone and thank you for sharing your story.
Somehow watching this now as someone who has already gone through a similar period of healing has made me appreciate how tough it truly is to heal from trauma and pain. You are a star for wanting to go through the nitty and gritty of healing and all that is uncomfortable and that no one seems to talk about. As hard as it was, I kept my sails up and kept walking toward that small glimmer of light that was true acceptance and happiness. Through all the changes (career, love, and personal relationships) more than ever I have grounded in the knowledge that my vulnerability is what gives me the power I need to get through these tough times. I hope you come to a point in your journey where you are able to feel this level of comfortability and confidence. Love you!
Thank m turning 30 in a year and a half and I'm loving how you just expressed the reality of what 30 can be . Life if ever evolving and to think everything will be set and stone but a certain age isn't realistic.
The ending made me cry because I turn 30 next yr and it’s been a lot to think about. Losing the last yrs of my 20s to a pandemic, stressed, and working a job I didn’t love
This vlog couldn't have come out at a better time. I'm going through the same ups and downs, lonely nights and just worrying about what's unknowing to me. I'm turning 30 next month and I'm beyond anxious, scared, doubtful of where my life is right now. I went back to school for a career change and it's feels as if I'm to old to go back to school but it's something I want to do to make me happy. There are times though where I sit and wonder what would life be like if I hadn't make some of the mistakes I've made during the first 29 years of my 20s and I sometimes regret the choices I've made. But, I can't change the past, all I can do is look towards the present, the moment I'm living now and continue to evolve as a person, a woman who shouldn't place boundaries on herself because of what society has taught us and continue living and growing and learning about myself. So I definitely resonate with you on this Sophia. It's definitely a scary feeling turning 30 but all we can do is just enjoy our days and keep living for us and keep loving ourselves for coming this far in our life. Can't wait to see the positive and love and newcomings of this new journey of your life brings. ❤️
‘Growth’ is past tense because you don’t know you’re there until you go past it. Thank you for sharing your heart so bravely ❤️
Hi Sophie, you know. I have been there exactly where you are right now. I moved 4 years abroad, and here I had to rebuild my life. It hasn’t been easy, but it as been an enriching experience, sometimes I miss being in my twenties, but now with 33 years old I feel so grateful with lo the hard work I put on myself.
you are beautiful Sophia, inside & out and you never know how much people youre inspiring with this kind of vlog, That includes me! I am 30, married, no baby, left my job, started a business but still figuring things out . It feels depressing sometimes but I hold on to the fact that, whatever i am feeling - this will pass. I will come out victorious. Praying for your happiness babe
Happy birthday Sophia ! You are an amazing individual and have grown so much since I’ve started watching you 7 years ago. You are loved very much and have become such an amazing woman. Congrats on 30 and cheers to many more hopefully and prosperous years to come!
Happy belated birthday Sophia! 🥳 92 baby here too and I feel exactly the same. I’m so anxious about turning 30 in 2 months because I don’t have the life that I thought I would have. I’m not married, I don’t have babies etc. But every one has a different timeline
I turn 30 in two months also! When is your birthday?
I feel exactly the same too and also turning 30 in 2 months.
Happy birthday Sophia, you are my comfort person and thank you for inspiring me to start giving more love to myself and always to take care of myself.
watching this at 1 am and goshhh cried when you said" I'm 30 , single, and mentally unstable" ..im in my mid 20's and its been hard for me but your videos always cheer me up to work out, eat right, and that its okay not to be okay
Sophia, the vulnerability you share is truly impactful and shows such strength and resilience. I am 22, and I believe that hearing your thoughts and expectations on turning 30 will be as important to hear now as well as it will be in 8 years when I turn 30 myself, thank you for sharing! happy birthday - sending you all the love and hugs 🤍
Happy birthday Sophia ! Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. Can't believe it's been 8 years since I watched your first video. I remember thinking what a badass you are and I want to be just like that. So many years gone by but I still feel so happy whenever your video comes up - its been a little treat for my soul every week. You are more than enough and i hope you know how inspiring you are. Hope this year brings good health and lots of happy moments to you !
your videos become more beautiful and relatable every time you post! you are such a creative and beautiful woman.
Watching you on and off over the years has truly been a blessing. Somehow I always come back to your channel at a times when I need them, seeing your journey and progress has helped me immensely in my own journey. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your journey Sophia. I’ll be 30 next year & I’m overwhelmed. Thank you for all the beautiful, important reminders of self-care & self love. Stay strong… you got this!
you are living my literal dream life. its crazy how our minds can nit pick and distort things 💓 thank you for sharing your journey
Watching u crying Sophie makes me think about my life right now. Back when I was in my teen years watching ur vlogs I'm always jealeous I'd always say I want to have Sophia's life so bad. But seeing u makes me think that despite of having everything happiness isn't really all about "Having things" happiness comes from within. I'm praying for your inner peace and calmness. I adore u so much💐😌
As someone who is in her early 20s and in college,watching you feels so comforting.we were always told that by the time you're out of your 10s you gotta be mature and get your shit together,so seeing someone older than me who is still trying to figure out life really comforts me
You're the big sis I never got but always wanted hahaha thank you for that~(cuz I'm the big sis of the fam hahaha)
Sophie, I have been a silent follower for 7 years.. and I have never felt as much as I do now that we are in very similar places in our lives. I turned 30 in December, and just ended a long term relationship of 6 years. The talk you have with yourself of all the self loathing, hate, and unworthiness resonates so deeply with me. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone. If only you could see how all of us see you
Happy Birthday!!! Honestly so proud of you and this journey you are on! I relate so much to having the realization of what my life actually is and learning to be gentle with myself along the way. We are all in this together and will continue on this crazy beautiful wild ride of life!
Your videos are like my therapy … happy bday sweet girl 💋🌸
ty for sharing your vulnerability with us & i have nothing but to say that you’re doing well and everything will be worth it, slowly but surely. sending you light and warmth 🤍✨
It takes courage for people to help themselves and love themselves, and I love the courage you are showing in that order. thank you for showing the world how tough it could be to feel good and at peace with one's self.
Happy 30th Sophia!!! Omg! You made me cry! I’ve been watching your vlogs for a while now and Just know you’re making impact. I’m also turning 30 at the end of this year, and I can relate to a lot of the things you shared in this video. You are not alone; you are loved even though I don’t know you personally! Here is to being 30 and fabulous! 🥂🍹🥳🤎🤎
I didn’t expect to cry watching this. I can relate to you so deeply. I’m 31, living alone, single, and also struggling with my mental health and loving myself. I can’t tell you how much these vulnerable videos help your viewers cope with not feeling so alone, especially in a world where you feel like everyone around you is progressing through life (getting married, having kids, etc).
But as you said, this is a painful but necessary part to go through, and I try to remind myself of that too. It brings me more peace knowing we’re not alone, and someday it’ll all make sense why we went through this. Thank you Sophia 🤍
The only thing I want to do right now is hug you tight and let you feel that you’re not alone ❤️ Love you Sophie💕You deserve every goodness in this world ❣️
Kudos to you my girl
Sophia, thank you so much for choosing to be vulnerable with us. wish you all the best on your journey and keep treating yourself with compassion and kindness.
Hugss! This is my first time commenting on your video, but I've been your supporter for many years now. I just want to tell you that God loves you so much! You are His beloved and He cares for every single detail of your life. I declare complete healing, peace that surpasses all understanding, strength and overflowing wisdom and clarity of purpose for you, Sophia. The best is yet to come!!! love youuu!!!
Can’t stop crying…. Very much relatable what one goes through. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. I’m so grateful that I am not alone. Happy Birthday Sophia!
y'all who can finish this video without crying. omg. love you sophia, were here for u
Thanks for growing up with me Sophia. Seeing you cry made me ball my eyes out thinking about the past ten years. And Sophia, you are always more than enough!
"thank you for being a part of my journey" - and thank you Soph for sharing it, we all here love you so so much. im getting close to 30 and i find myself reflecting a lot and being more critical and harsh on myself wondering wtf im doing and if im doing things right. you helped me realize im not alone in this and i hope that one day you and i can heal n be happier with ourselves
It’s so heart breaking to see you, to hear you cry Sophia. Life is so beautiful even in between a lot of the grey-dull colors that tint the colors of life. There needs to be rain for a rainbow. 🌈 little steps each day is enough. Presence in the now rather than the future. Big hug to you Sophia and anyone else having a hard time too. ❤️❤️✨
This episode just touch my heart and soul. I feel your pain, sending warm hugs.
I love you, Sophia! Happy Birthday! You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are pursuing an unrivaled destiny and you are beautiful just the way you are. Thank you for being so vulnerable in your channel, and in every social media account that you have. Thank you for being the core of a lovely community that promotes positivity and emulates how to embrace our weak and frustrating spots. Thank you for loving what you do, it speaks so much of how genuine you are. I am 23, still figuring out how my life will unfold, but because of content creators like you, I know and I am confident that I am in a safe place. You conditioned me and taught me that it won't be easy to get by, but it's manageable and the journey is worthwhile. Cheers to many more laughter and crying moments, at the end of the day, these mundane parts of us let our hearts beat again. Blessings!
Weird how the most stylish, beautiful success full looking persons are the most tormented ones on the inside. Hope you can let go on the "i have to be like this and this at this point in my life" and can begin to flow with the days and enjoy your life journey also on the inside. You can do this! Don t be so hard on yourself!
i love that you capture the reality of growing. therapy was one of the best investments into myself! like you said growing is an ongoing process, you don’t just wake up one day “fixed”. some days are better than others but it is encouraging knowing that you’re pouring into your own life bc you deserve it❤️
I think this is a vital stage for you to go through and the future can only get better, you will look back and be grateful for how this period your going through shaped you and made you more complete😊
We’re around the same age and I’ve been watching your channel since I was in college, maybe even before then. I hope you give yourself some grace and compassion and celebrate the small wins, and soften the parts of yourself you may find hardest to love right now. Happy birthday love 💗🥺
I am crying with you! I’m so excited and happy to be going through this life journey with you. I can’t wait to see what 30 brings you XO🖤
Such a beautifully well made video. Appreciate your authenticity and vulnerability, it's what helps connect us and realize we're all in this thing together - we're all humans, experiencing human emotions. Kudos to you for putting in the hard work to grow and expand, it's not easy and can be quite exhausting. Give yourself a break now and then to rejoice in how far you've come. Remember that you've built such a loving and supportive community (YOU did that!) and you're not alone. Sending you lots of love ❤️ xx
P.S. LOL at you running back to grab your camera after the car scene - the things we do to 'get the shot'! 😅
I had to pause and write this.. ( I don’t usually leave comments unless it really touches me) I’ve been following you for years now and I honestly feel like I’ve grown since then and I love seeing you grow as well. You’re just an amazing person and I love watching you share these genuine moments with us.
I love you so much, and am always cheering for you. I hope you’ll continue to let the light in when it’s there, and just know that you’re not alone 🖤
Sophia, I am thinking of you and sending up prayers for ongoing strength and hope. You are lovely.
Sophie, I can't imagine what you're going through. Sending you so much love and hope through this time.
Oh, beautiful Sophia. Here I am crying on my lunch break because I feel like I'm in the exact same place as you. I think one thing people often neglect to recognize is that in self-growth there can be profound grief there. We forget how hard it can be to say goodbye to a future we never had, to the person we thought we would become. There is hope now for a different and more healing kind of future, but at the same time, I hope you know you're not alone in your experiences of grief, sadness, and loneliness. You give us all hope.
I just finished watching your video and I have never felt so connected to someone I’ve never met before. The ending to that video was so beautiful and it describes everything that I’m going through right now within myself and I just wanna say thank you. Not only do I feel seen but I’m so happy that you’re putting this message out there for everyone else to feel with you. I’m so thankful for you and the content that you share and I really wish you true happiness.
I’m catching up on these vlogs and I am LUVIN the cinematography and colouring. Even the shots like …thank you so much for this art.
Sophia, girl I feel the exact same way. I turn 30 next year and I too am not where I pictured myself being. I absolutely love the way you have been showing this season of life and how so many of us can relate. Thank you for showing this part of life. Oh and I too have a hard time finding glasses that fit my Native American face frame!!! You are in my thoughts 🤍
Wow Sophia.. thank you so much for your vulnerability and openness. I'm going through a similar conversation with myself lately after experiencing a lot of anxiety in the last year and a break up of a 5 yr relationship. I have had the exact same thoughts as you: I would do anything in the world for the ones I love but why can't I do the same for myself? I'm glad to see that you have been able to view this time in your life as an opportunity for growth, I hope this for myself too.
Welcome to the 30 club! 🏆It's a privilege to be here!
you are so beautiful ❤ I just had to say.
Like many I’m going through some stuff. Lost my mum suddenly last year and my best friend of fifteen years turned out to be not so much a friend a month or two ago. ALSO I had surgery to remove my gallbladder yesterday after months and months of agonising pain and not knowing and I feel so alone and crappy. I just want to thank you for the amazing vlogs, I feel not so alone when I watch. ❤ All my thanks and love to you xx
Same Sophia same. All I can say is stay strong, optimistic, and keep showing up for yourself time and time again. Sending you all the love and light now and always. 🤍
Sweet Sophia, thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing your emotions. If you take a look around you will see everything you have accomplished. You are worthy and yes life has just begun ✨️ here's to 30, a new beautiful chapter begins ❤️
Okay okay! Soph I had to pause the video midway at 9:20 after your driveway scene to say I actually appreciate you being extra! Your way to visually storytell is what has made me follow you for 10 years. It’s a gift. In my *ignorant* opinion I honestly think it’s your gift and what beyond TH-cam you can aspire to pursue if you haven’t thought to do so already! Okay, I’m going to hit resume now…
so much love to you Sophie. you are a big sister to many of us. we are in the life struggles together!
its a rollercoaster. just feel your emotions without judgement. every emotion is ok. hugs :)
thank you for being so open and raw with us! we love you so much beautiful, and you are loved more than you can ever imagine. watching this gave me so many feels (about to turn 34 in a few weeks, and i've been feeling similarly since the year started) i hope and pray that this new decade of your life you're starting to embark on brings much more peace, clarify, and lots of joy to you - happy birthday girl, and God bless always ❤️
Sophia, you are not alone with your feelings. I'm 32 this year and yes..I try to do my best but sometimes I just want to run away.
I always love all your videos, but for some reason this video hit right at that spot of mine too, especially the last part of the video where you talk about hitting thirty? And the moment you broke down, I was emotional just like you, this video is by far one of my fav video content 🥺🥺 and if I ever have the chance to meet you irl, I would run to you and give you a huge tight hug. Sop! You’re beautiful, strong, respectful and have a really kind soul (eventho I’ve not meet you) but I know you do, from watching all your videos for years and decade. You truly is one of a kind and we are all here for you as a community and your fan! Stay happy as always even in your 40s or 50s and many more! - v
It's I good to know there are more people struggling with mental health. Even though I don't know you, I want to thank you for sharing and making me feel less alone. Sending you much love
thank you for being so honest and real. It's a treasure.
Love you so much Sophie.
I cam across this video at like 4 am, and I have to say this is the most relaxing video ever
Happy birthday, Sophia! Thanks for being so vulnerable ❤️ Despite how hard it may be sharing your struggles, it is the most relatable. Thinking about you and wishing you peace and stillness. Presence and awareness is how we achieve happiness 🤍
i'm turning 28 this year, and the pressures from society, people i see and the people around me definitely wear me down sometimes. the milestones you're "supposed" to reach by a certain time are pressures you give yourself based on what you see. somehow you're less successful, less desirable, less accomplished (especially as women) if you're not dating, married, have kids, have a stable job, have a house, etc.
letting go of those expectations is hard, but going through life thinking you need to check off a list "and then i'll be happy" when you check everything off is no way to live. it neglects to acknowledge things you've already accomplished and just living in the present when you're always looking for the future to be satisfied.
This vlog was beautiful. Your eye for shooting is amazing. I've been a subscriber for some years now and your growth and strength is so admirable. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. 💖
I’ve been having a really hard time lately…this video gives me such an immense amount of hope and comfort. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it’s truly an honor 💗
That’s exactly what my therapist asked me “would you ever speak to your friends the way that you talk to yourself”. No, I’m kind to them. I need to be kinder to myself. That was a huge breakthrough.
This was beautiful and so powerful. I just turned 30 a couple months ago & everything you said resonated so much with where I am on my journey. Appreciate your transparency. Sending you love
