new year feelings

[@eviemayvlog342]

I’m so so sorry you feel like you don’t have a clear purpose, please remember your videos bring people a lot of comfort! Especially me! Wish I lived closer so we could be besties

[@SophieFloyd]

🥹🤍 that’s very sweet thank you so much

[@fiona-jayne1749]

I feel the same!

[@emmaphere]

My mother always said ‘ Nobody is happy all the time.Don’t aim for happiness. Aim for contentment’ . I found this really useful advice .

[@obiiudemgba9156]

That was beautiful, thank you. ❤

[@dorothycouper4109]

As someone who’s older and has been in therapy for 10+ years, I can confidently say that the biggest lies depression make you feel are that you should be ashamed for not feeling well and that you will never get better. Neither is true. And finding a therapist you click with is a huge step towards feeling better. Xx

[@SophieFloyd]

🩷 needed to hear that. thank you xxx

[@meilemas4081]

I really needed this to realise that all these weird feelings are not only within me. Your videos are so comforting

[@linziibee12]

Happy new year Soph! I have to say this video just sat with me, I’ve felt exactly the same as you especially recently, and I’m 36 this year. I still feel like i haven’t found my purpose, but I try and tell myself that it’ll come, life doesn’t stop as you get older (even though I’ve felt like it does the last year or so). I’m definitely going to make more of an effort this year to create a routine, I feel it’ll make me feel more productive. But, as I said, you’re not alone, even in my late thirties I’m still thinking wtf am I doing!! I really hope the year treats you kindly. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re a light in this often dark world!

[@SophieFloyd]

I think honestly most people feel the same! especially the times we live in, it always feels like you aren’t doing enough when actually just being happy + healthy is more than enough 🥹🩷🩷🩷

[@linziibee12]

@ you’re absolutely right. we are in this social media generation where everything is comparison and you constantly don’t feel enough/like you’re doing enough. after spending most of my 2024 in hospital due to cancer, my 2025 will be all about getting my health back, and getting my happy back. thank you for this video though beautiful, it’s always comforting knowing you’re not alone 💚💚💚💚

[@sparklestarkle]

Thank you for sharing your feelings with us! At the wise old age of 45(🙂) I’ve stopped making New Year’s resolutions. If I want to change something I can do it any time of the year and not some arbitrary date in winter. Hope you get to see some sunshine soon! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tashajuli2399]

Life is like being on dark hiking trail with a flashlight. You can only illuminate so far into the distance. Happiness isn’t a linear achievement. It floats in and out of our lives like bubbles. It’s OK not to know what you want, as long as you know what you don’t. A Porsche isn’t the answer, it’s liability. Save your money for a time you may need it to fall back on, or for when you have decided on a clear path and want to make moves. Happy new year! You are not alone in feeling this way.

[@ruthfowkes4712]

Mannnnn, this is why I / we watch this part of the internet! These chats are so important, relate to that feeling of being like "i cant see the next 10,20 years feeling like this current feelin". I hope therapy serves you in all the ways you need it to ! I need to do this for myself and i need to hear more people encouraging this ❤ Also... Cant wait to hear you read recommendations soon ! Coz iny eyes your taste doesnt faulter 😊

[@jemmamichaelx]

happy new year angel 🖤 thank you for speaking so honestly and openly in this video. i think it’s so important to discuss and de-stigmatise the mountain that is mental health and the problems that can come with it. i loved hearing about how you’re going to be gentle and patient with yourself, it’s so inspiring. i definitely don’t feel so alone now in being 25 and feeling a bit lost. thank you for this video and thank you for being you, you are so loved and appreciated x

[@SophieFloyd]

🥹🩷 ahh thank you so so much, u have no idea what that means x

[@camille1190]

I appreciate you and this video very much. It’s wild how similar our feelings are, but it’s helpful knowing that a lot of us are going through this. Life is very weird, fast, and unpredictable right now, and we’re trying to figure out what TRULY makes us happy and what we should be focusing our energy on. I used to be a huge fan of New Years, but as I’ve gotten older, my views are different on it. Life is a day to day thing, and I think having resolutions (personally) are too much. As long as you’re making an effort and taking the necessary steps to change/better your life, that’s an accomplishment in itself. I hope that you have a wonderful year this year, and know that you are not alone. ♥️

[@KristynaG]

I feel the same! I’m 30..just got back from two years of travelling and now I’m stuck in a shop working 40 hours a week feeling like I have zero purpose in this world 🩷 refreshing to see someone actually saying this online! X

[@alidignum972]

You have such a peaceful and warm disposition, it’s nice to hear your honest feelings. Loved this video style too. Bring on Spring 🌿

[@wstella2412]

Thank you for sharing this. I feel seen and less alone. I hope you have better days ahead. I absolutely love your videos; they feel like a warm hug. I could listen to you talk all day, every day. Wishing you a Happy New Year !

[@MsStarface123]

Honestly when you have a job with what is deemed as real purpose, you want a job that seems like yours on the surface that allows fun travel opps- I think the goal is to create purpose outside of your job, and hopefully have a job that allows us to to fund that. 😊

[@SophieFloyd]

agreed! the grass is always greener, all about finding the balance 🥰🫶🏼

[@gaiabologna9094]

Girl I literally had a period of time that lasted about 3 months where everything was stressing me out,working a lot and money not being enough,the weather was really bringing me down and I just came to the conclusion that England just isn’t for me and if I lived somewhere with better weather it would honestly change my life so here we are on a journey of bettering myself,training to qualify for my dream job and planning a move to Florida!

[@CatalinaMiiiiii]

You won't be feeling like this forever, Sophie. I think we (I am saying we, because I relate 100% into your video, but also had to accept that there are people with very constant and content/ happy stabile feelings, and not like us) need to acknowledge that there are periods where we are just feeling low, and thats okay. I am glad you are trying therapy, I felt like I had a cloud over me and could not really enjoy anything and therapy helped me be much more comfortable in my head, and predict when and why I am feeling like this and what I need to do to feel better. It helped me rationalize my "feelings" and accept them, as they won't be there forever. I see them as times, days, where I need extra help to be happy and feel something. And that's okay. ❤

[@kel_create]

thank you for uploading, while you may feel lost in your purpose know that your videos always bring me peace and joy as they do for many others i’m sure. i always look forward to them and your effort does not go unnoticed ❤

[@_aliberova_]

I feel the same and I am 35. The difference is I don’t really love what I am doing so I am trying to switch focus from not loving what I do for work on what it helps me to achieve. And this year I wrote a new years’s resolutions for the first time to stay focus on my goals and not to get lost in life

[@dbicharaa]

you’ve easily become my favorite youtuber to watch and i just want to thank you for being so real and refreshing! feels like having a big sister

[@planetartemis]

Hey Sophie, thankyou for being so honest and real! As someone who is also a content creator it feels so validating to hear that you’re also not feeling the greatest post new years. I thought I was the only one! It can feel so overwhelming that the grind never stops online, but you’re totally right, the only person putting pressure on yourself to create content is you and the world won’t end if you don’t post a video when you need time for self love and introspection. It feels so reassuring to hear this coming from a content creator I have huge respect so thankyou again for this. PS I live in New Zealand where the weather is also very sunny and warm, which just goes to show that no matter where you are in the world, it’s your inner self that you carry with you and the work starts from within 💕

[@chloeratahi]

This was SO comforting. I feel the same, day in & out. Thank you for posting this and being vulnerable, it is so relatable and comforting to know you’re not alone. Happy new year!! 🎉❤

[@SophieFloyd]

🫶🏼❤️ sending you love. happy new year x

[@catherinebyrom6307]

This is why I make a big deal (just mentally) of 21/12 every year. It's the shortest day, so it's heading in the right direction from there for a sun/daylight lover (albeit incredibly slowly). Also, I'm 42 and I've just started a new career. If it fails, it will still have been worth a try. You've got more time than you feel like you do to make changes/try stuff ❤ Good luck with therapy ❤

[@mrsmongooseable]

It helps me to think of work as something I have to do to enable me to do all the things I love like experiences with loved ones. Work isn’t always super fulfilling but it allows us to have the good times. I just find this helps me if I’m feeling a bit stuck in a rut. Even better when works great too of course but this tends to fluctuate throughout life. Your purpose right now is to be you and enjoy yourself. You bring happiness to others and that’s amazing xx

[@milkyandmo]

Thanks for putting this out there, I can 100% relate to this. I’m forever wondering what’s wrong with me and why I feel that way and why life doesn’t always seem so fulfilling, but trying to push through and have a better mindset starts to change your outlook on things slowly. Perspective on everything is huge, keep your chin up ❤ every little positive change will make a greater impact overall x

[@Bluegrassstate2406]

So refreshing to hear a lot of this said out loud! Also the makeup trend cycle fatigue is so real - it's too much! Just do what excites you! Even if it's a "old" (which probably classifies as like 2 months now) product that's so much more real anyways.

[@latenightgloommm]

I totally agree with the "be proud of what you've improved even a tiny bit" rather than being harsh with yourself for not succeeding in pursuing one new year's resolution!

[@aubreyriggins4139]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! You're definitely not alone. I found comfort in learning about my Saturn Return when these feelings of seeking purpose came up for me (astrology, if you're into that kind of thing) and doing some journaling/reflecting on who I wanted to become in the next version of me - sending you hugs from Colorado, USA

[@alexism7800]

Your robe looks so comfortable and I'm obsessed with the color😍

[@heathercongden4227]

I absolutely loved this video! Not even over yet! But thank you for being so real and honest and I loved getting to know you more. As always love your hair and you look beautiful ❤ and I feel all these feelings too- Empath here, sending hugs for your hard days!

[@SophieFloyd]

❤️🩷❤️ thank you so much lovely

[@safinamahmood]

Thank you for sharing your feelings❤. Im so happy that im not alone. Love all the content. You are doing amazing ❤

[@lucygrayson6034]

I’m legit the same, and I have an early birthday (Jan 4th). I graduated drama school last year and I’ve been struggling to not compare with my close mates who straight away got representation and jobs. This year I’m trying to manifest good thoughts and feelings, get back on my grind and getting myself out there. Your videos are so easy to watch for me and help me relax so much, I hope you’ll end up feeling better xx❤

[@ReshmaAnn]

Thank you for making this video Sophie!! I have been feeling exactly the same way so it feels less lonely to know there are people out there talking and feeling the same way. We'll figure it out 🥰

[@victuresart]

affirmation meditations can be quite profound and helpful. Listing or feeling into the things you're grateful for. all things are working out for you. I feel you though, this year feels like I wake up to what we actually actuallyyyyy want. hugs.x

[@aprillll96]

So interesting how so many people have shared they believe the start of the new year is spring. My birthday is mid-March and I’ve always considered that my new year, it’s when things properly start to kick off again for me, so January to my birthday has always felt like a buffer period

[@sallycain3716]

Even if I don’t leave the house I always wear perfume and a tinted lip balm like the tower 28, ole Hendrickson or naturium. Makes me feel so much better.

[@phoenixhayley5475]

My current favourite content creator. Love love love your videos 🥹

[@SophieFloyd]

🥰🩷💖 thank you so much love

[@Pinkforever4]

Thanks for sharing your feelings 😊 so accurate with me, and so inspirational the feeling of sharing it without fear ✨🙏🤍🫂

[@cs-yq5ed]

Sophie, Thank you for sharing and sparking a discussion about the ups and downs of life. It is good to know that we're not alone in having these feelings. I am also affected by a lack of sunshine. I have set my 2025 goals very low, but I need a "win" to boost my self-confidence. As things get better, I can add additional goals but nothing too lofty. I love your videos. I find them calming and relaxing. ❤

[@alexism7800]

One of my favorite quotes from The Bridge of San Luis Rey is "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." Whenever you get in your head about your purpose on this earth, remember that your legacy lives on through the love you project into the world around you everyday. You've changed the life of every person you tattooed, every person you smiled at on the street, every person that's been inspired by your videos etc etc. You exist to be your most authentic self and inspire others to do the same.🤎

[@IsobelEmilyBronwyn]

Truly my favourite video you’ve ever made ❤ love you girly pop xxx

[@cindyo6298]

I've never seen someone look so good in a dark brown robe! It's the new year and I just turned 30 so it's really a time to reevalute I guess. 25 was an awful age for me, so don't feel weird if you don't feel like you have a purpose right now, you get so much more confident later on, I literally feel like I became more mature in year 29. On the weirder side, the vitamin magnesium glycinate really helped me with anxiety. I'm also feeling a little bit of shame around it but I want to get into reading self help books.

[@danyf.1442]

Happy new year Sophie! I'll just say this, I wish I was so mature and wise when I was your age. Really can take some advice from you even if I'm much older. It's not a great time for me health and work wise, but as you said it's important to be gentle with ourselves and I will try and do it.

[@SophieFloyd]

sorry to hear that, i think it’s a tough time for a lot of people ❤️‍🩹 lighter days + new beginnings on the way xx

[@libbiefreeman1057]

Please don’t be afraid of therapy. It is uncomfortable but that’s where growth happens. It’s profound what you can learn about yourself and where you can take your life with therapy.

[@kellyfreeman3006]

I feel like I have a bit of seasonal depression. I always feel a bit blue during the winter months. Feelings of inadequacy and just tired and exhausted. Just looking to get into a routine that’s positive for me mentally and physically. Thank you Sophie.❤

[@Gjade19]

I related to so many of the thoughts you shared in this video. I love the idea of the new year starting in spring. And definitely agree reading is such a good habit. Thanks for sharing Sophie ❤

[@gini_b]

Oh my goodness, I spent most of my 20s in turmoil because I kept asking "WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?" 😅 it's okay, it'll all start slotting into place. I'm 33 now and I'm really starting to KNOW what I actually enjoy and what I like. Especially in relationships - you're so invested in making someone else happy. Put yourself first, and journal whenever you can :)

[@xcessa]

With the hindsight you get in your 40s… I see now that everything you do sets you up for the next thing on your path. It doesn’t have to be the right or perfect thing in the moment. But when you look back you see how they all flow together and build into the journey of your life - so don’t stress too much! If you’re doing what you enjoy or are learning something or getting experience, it’s all worthwhile. 💓

[@hammondesque]

More videos like this Soph please - you are talking about how a lot of us feel or have felt in the past. It makes me sad that you don't feel like you'll ever be happy because I felt like that too for a very long time - medication changed my life but I think you'll love talking therapy. Best of luck with 2025, we all are cheering you on xx

[@averybrusa2337]

perfect timing sop

[@indodida]

I'm 34 and started therapy a few months ago and am so happy I did. I hope it brings you an opportunity to view things outside of yourself and gives you new tools to try navigating your life with as it did for me. However you're feeling now can feel overwhelming because one might think they're always going to feel that way, but how you feel now might not be at all how you feel in a few months. Our bests also change from day to day, whatever "doing your best" means today can mean something different on another day, and that's okay. Those are some take aways that I keep in mind that I've at least found helpful. Happy New Year

[@Lori_Alexandra_mua]

Hi Sophie 😊 after listening ( pretending we are just chatting of course ) I had to turn my lamp back on and throw my reading glasses on so I could type properly 😊 first , your right you have been in the generation of social media growing up which has benefits no doubt doesn’t it , yet yikes it can be brutal , I was reminded of how grateful I am that I didn’t grow up with it , which means in struggle more with it and don’t quite understand it , never will I’m sure . Anyhow you’re extremely genuine real and transparent , your willingness to share is incredible , know that . I can tell you follow your heart and you don’t go with the crowd and I love that about you . Besides being brilliant with makeup tutorials / tattoo artistry / fashion and jewelry icon and fragrance lover . And we can’t forget hair icon .The most memorable things about you are your big heart and sweetness and I can tell your a fiercely loyal friend to all . A good human being and that means you have already succeeded in this life . I’m thrilled your boyfriend is your one and only person and there for you that’s the thing it’s who you surround yourself with isn’t it ,? Ok my novel here is almost over lol I promise . Currently reading Florence givens “ women living deliciously “ if you haven’t read it yet ( fairly new ) please find it ! It’s so therapeutic and empowering and I swear is going to inject my brain with some magical serum to stop overthinking lol 😂 I love you to da moon n back ! Lori across the pond xxxx

[@Isacamara21]

Maybe our goals are not fixed. From time to time, we learn things, we go through situations and some traumas... we have to do constant self-knowledge work. I think that sitting down and meditating, if you don't have any practice, starting with guided meditation will give you the answer to what you really want to do. Then you will get up and pursue this calling with all your strength. Regarding antidepressants, I use lion's mane mushroom extract and the results are absolutely incredible.

[@lifeofzhou]

I needed this, thanks Sophie ❤❤❤

[@bums009]

My friends and I are feeling very blegh, everyone I know is struggling mentally and financially and also realising we can't eat like we used to in our twenties without consequences 😂 The days are definitely getting longer though, when I was around my friends house the other day, her son was dropped home by the school bus at 4pm and she looked outside and was like omg its not dark!!! We literally jumped for joy lmao

[@yanajannat9045]

Thank you for talking about this!

[@Sadkittens_]

Refreshing to hear you speak about this and hope you feel more yourself this year. I’m curious to know why you’re against going back on AD’s? I always say, if it’s an imbalance in the brain it’s the same as any other medication and shouldn’t be perceived as a bad thing, unless you’ve had bad experiences of course - not trying to be ‘that person’ just curious (and perhaps slightly defensive as someone who has been on them for a long time). Love & light ✨

[@SophieFloyd]

thank you lovely 🫶🏼 totally get that and i actually view it the same! I just suffered pretty badly with heartburn and reaaally dry mouth on them so want to avoid again if possible 😘 x

[@Sadkittens_]

@ Totally understandable 😫 You got this 🤍

[@Elena-uh7zv]

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this bc on Sunday I had a depressive episode and my anxiety spiked up bc I cannot figure out what I am supposed to do with my life, if I should focus more on money, uni, full time working, creating a family, experience new stuff.......It's all sooooo overwhelming and confusing bc I compare mysef unconsciuously to my peers and that makes me feel like SH*T. So thank you bc, although I am comparing to you, I feel much more sane and seen

[@SophieFloyd]

oh girl i feeeeel you there, definitely recommend reading the midnight library + or the bell jar if you haven’t already 😘 sylvia plath talks a lot about this in her fig tree poem xx

Im Sorry to ask but where is your bath robe from? Its suits you so well!

[@SophieFloyd]

from hommey! 🧸 so cosy

[@isabelweckerle288]

Thank you so much!!

[@chloerebeccaellis]

Really loved this video, your honestly is always appreciated🫶🏻 I read something before that said: happiness is a feeling, just like sadness, it will come and go so the goal is to aim for contentment. This really changed my mindset of always striving for happiness. Also I have started to write down the good things that happen in the day that I am grateful for - like getting a good matcha, or having a yummy breakfast as there is so much joy in the little things! Sending love to you 🤍

Not the typical gen z girl. Love that🩷🩷

[@chrcoc]

Please don‘t think you‘re in a limbo of any sort.. your life is happening now. Do the thing, get the coffee, maybe don‘t get the Porsche (you really don‘t need that), but for heaven‘s sake don‘t wait for life or spring to start.

[@lesleydodd1509]

Where is your dressing gown from? Looks fab! X

[@YuliaZelentsova]

Love you ❤

[@jennv19]

People really need to look at the seasons and weather and earth to judge the season and not the day marked on the calender. If it's winter and things are getting colder, getting frozen, leaves are dying, So shall it be in our lives. It's a moment to pause and reflect and let things go. Those first three months of the year mimic the winter energy. And spiritually the new year starts around march, like Easter time. You can see new signs of life. A more of a rebirth energy for all. That's what I've come to learn in the last few years. Also, love your jewelry and ouai products are the best. Happy Monday. ❤

[@SophieFloyd]

@@jennv19 oh I love this so so much, makes a lot of sense 🥹🤍🤍🤍

[@rachelbhall]

I’m so proud of you!!!!❤❤❤❤ You’re asking great questions. I think addressing the emptiness of chasing the Porsche lifestyle is so important. No one will be on their death bed wishing they spent more time with their things or gaining things. Depression is a bio-psycho-social disorder effecting the chemical processes of your brain. It’s important to address the stressors from each of those. Set small goals. As a mental health professional I also suggest that you check in with your biology, by getting blood work for your Vitamin D, B12, Iron levels. All of those can greatly affect your mood, energy levels and general outlook. I encourage you to check in with your therapist and continue with therapy. Depression wants to isolate you and gives this impression that it doesn’t matter to share or it’s a burden to others etc. I encourage you to try antidepressants when you feel the other changes are not working. As you know they don’t fully take effect for two - four weeks by that point your symptoms can worsen. Taking medication is not a failure. It is not a lifestyle issue. It’s a chemical brain issue that isn’t your fault. You also experience a lack of light longer than other nations. Keep being kind to yourself. Journaling is a great coping skill and can provide a huge sense of relief. I literally missed you so I started rewatching your older videos, you should see the comment on your last video. I am so happy you’re a part of my life and I really hope I get to meet you in real life. You are effecting my life in a positive way and I love to hear from you!

Read Wild by Cheryl Strayed..Or there's the film with Reece Witherspoon.. It's pretty inspirational x

[@iiizz.y]

being a high achiever in your 20’s is painful because you hold yourself to a high standard but you forget that great things & personal evolution take. time. (i’m speaking to myself too :P)

[@Louiseabof]

Thank you for sharing this - I think a lot of people feel the same and struggle with it internally. It’s so refreshing to hear it said aloud!! Highly recommend “The Happiness Trap” by Russ Harris. I think you’d enjoy it! Sending love ❤☺️

I'm a much older woman, and I have been through very similar experiences. If I may, do you , or would you like to know about JESUS?I'd love to share any information you would like to know. Well, as much as I can. I. Still, and will forever be growing in spiritual maturity 🙏🏼🩷

[@TatianaRiddick-r9t]

I don’t know what you believe but I just feel that I have to say this to you as someone who felt and goes thru depression you won’t ever truly be happy or have true peace until you accept Jesus in your life and I truly mean this everything else is fleeting and temporary and just a quick fix but Jesus is eternal he is our creator he holds the key to true peace that we are all seeking I pray that you will surrender all of you to him ❤

[@SophieFloyd]

I love that for you but definitely not the path I’m on. ❤️

[@TatianaRiddick-r9t]

@ I understand I pray one day you will be knowing what I know now I just wish somebody would of told me so I’m just passing it on with true love in my heart ❤️ have a bless year beautiful ✨

[@sentential]

honestly i think we enjoy hearing other people dealing with the same problems because they explain it in a different way, maybe articulate it better, so it brings us more clarity on our own feelings ❤️‍🩹 thank you for sharing, take care and take it easy Soph, it’s all going to work out 💓💓💓

[@idalarsson4729]

Therapy is the best thing you can do, in my humble opinion. I’ve been in therapy on and off since my early 20’s and I’m turning 50 ( 🫣 ) this year. For me, things in my life became so much clearer when I got to know myself. Not the person my friends and family said I was, not the person society expected me to be. I don’t know if it makes any sense, I got to accept myself with “ flaws “ and all, and try to make the “ flaws “ into something good. Like you said, you’re 25 and that can be a quite confusing age, people your age are starting families, going back to school…. I had no clue what my purpose was at that age. I think that you are doing so many good things already, reading, exercising and prioritising sleep! Your videos have helped me a lot when I haven’t felt my best, so thank you for making them! 💕

[@su361]

Your purpose my purpose,everyones is to shine and spread that to others,the nature,animals. What makes the universe shine? The stars! Shining means feeling being thankful for what we are what we have and share with others if possible🩷💫✨️
