      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

    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.

      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

    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.

    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 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

Our hair is so precious but it can also be a weight so may this bring lightness as I felt watching.

    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💜🌻💜🌻

    This was so beautiful, there was a moment when the sun shined so bright when you first cut.. then it softened like it was saying we are not done. Then when he took the shaver I saw your heart totally Surender and your released. I cried with you. There was a moment I would feel a lump in my throat. You can tell this man loved you he was so gentle. I can only imagine what that felt like to feel lighter and feel the wind on your beautiful head.... the sun is shining again.

    Making ourselves feel discomfort, or uncomfortable in our lives (and that can come in many forms) is when we truly know what growth feels like.

Your words, they pierced through my heart and reminded me that we all have our own journey but ultimately we all have deep pain inside. Forgive yourself, you are truly an amazing person and you have grown so much! I’ve seen your change throughout the years. This video is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I needed to hear.

    Going through a similar transformation, learning to let go of self-worth tied to my externals...except the world has gifted me with circumstances that I cannot control. I'm learning to choose to alchemize my misfortunes so that it contributes to my evolution. This video is reminding me that I have one life and only enough time to focus on what matters - thank you so much for your beautiful insight x
