The Truth About Growing Up | SoSonia

[@perrymandeville7510]

could mom and dad be more proud? I don't think so!

[@SOSoniaChannel]

Awwwwww Papa! My dad everyone!

[@emanalmutawa8564]

hahaha this is sooo adorable! :D

[@DanielleIry]

Today's my 15th birthday, and I'm scared as heck to embrace my independence and conquer all my responsibilities. This was a really nice birthday gift, even if coincidental. I feel a little less alone and a little more assured with how I can tackle things. Thanks Sonia.

[@Participant]

Beautiful! Have an amazing birthday!

[@DanielleIry]

Thank you!

[@SOSoniaChannel]

What you said means a lot, I am honored to hear that you feel less alone. Well Happy birthday beautiful! Definitely a birthday gift to you ;)

[@DanielleIry]

Thanks Sonia!

[@bilalsheikh6853]

Now ur officially 17 how's feeling u ri8 now bcz I'm 27 but i can tell you being an adult is painful bcz you don't have in your life what you. Want n that's depressing dear 😏😏

[@elshog]

I can't explain just how much you're inspiring me to create things in a beautiful way that makes one have fun while watching it!

[@Participant]

Yes! Go forth and create!

[@SOSoniaChannel]

You are amazing. Honestly if this video could have one purpose is to help others wanna make more and more :) Let me know if you create any new art. I would love to see it! :)

[@kayatiteva29]

So Sonia you are amazing you really inspire me

[@JRAlli]

wow, this had such a good feeling to it, really really happy i came across your stuff on soul pancake!

[@Georgia_Productions]

This is literally how i feel! you are amazing Sonia and this video is just everything! omg so professional!! ❤️👌🏼

[@Wisperwynd]

This makes growing up and technically being a grown up a little bit less nerve-wracking and scary. Thanks for reminding me that you can still grow up silly and unorganised!

[@MegIgarashi]

Seriously one my favorite creators on the internet

[@SOSoniaChannel]

You are amazing! Thank you so much, I feel lots of love from you. I am unbelievably happy that you want to create and enjoy life more. Keep going and keep making

[@margaretraemsch968]

Me too she helps a lot.

[@ana_marta]

ah man this is so great, you're amazing Sonia

[@SOSoniaChannel]

Ana! Thanks girl! Miss you

[@stickystick_stick]

just love how seamless the mood of the vid changes are, so good

[@euanacarmo]

Missing Sonia ❤ hope she's okay. I've watched her videos so many times when I'm feeling down and they always help bring a smile to my face

[@kadieel7447]

Coming back to this video now living on my own. It’s crazy how time goes by but how filled it really is. Thanks Sonia for the reminder that I’m not alone and that adulthood is not as daunting as one might think.

[@rosaboer39]

I just love your voice! Your videos are a big inspiration for me, when I have watched one of them, I always want to draw, write, dance, sing, just live more and make the most of it! So thank you for that.💕 Greetings from the Netherlands☄

[@pnrex5160]

This was so good and heartwarming. Almost makes growing up not so bad.

[@debraduval9758]

I know we haven't seen or talked to each other since 5th grade but I'm so happy to see you doing this! You're inspiring :)

[@MiaMoran]

THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL SONIA WOW Not to mention that this reminded me about all of the laundry I still needed to finish, parking tickets I need to pay, and replacing all of my tires before i get ANOTHER flat on the road. being a "grown up" is so much harder than I thought but wow isn't it exciting!

[@charliemartin2471]

I'm just about to leave for Uni in a few days and this basically expressed all of my fears of growing up. It's not only about living alone but also about booking your own doctors appointments and being the only one who can pick up milk on the way home. Thank you for being this talented and inspiring me to be better.

[@youngperceptions]

Sonia!! I can't believe how OLD you are now! I still remember you as my classmate in Bogor. You inspire me sooo much. All your videos are so beautiful and well made. Thank you for creating ❤️ and keep at it!!

[@samuelleumas9964]

After two years of moving on my own in a new country, right after high school, I cannot explain enough how relatable this still is

[@francescafong8221]

this is so sweet, I look up to her so much

[@KristinWitcher]

Sonia, your face at 2:37 is gold. Wonderful video as always!!

[@_.k.m_.c]

SOOOOOOONIAAAAAA, my heart is so overwhelmed with nothing but warmness. Thank u for this reminder. I have often find myself craving to be a child again because I feel that I have wasted the majority of my teenage life moping around and complaining about how much I wish to see different worlds and become that person that person that is hidden in the shadows and it is so frustrating but this video, and all ur videos serve well. thank uuuuuuu, u remind me to stop myself from wishing and actually doing, even though it's hard at times.

[@김미진-z5g]

Whenever I watch your videos I regret having led a safe life, avoiding challenges for fear of failures. But in other words, you always inspire me so thank you for that :)

[@tetsubo57]

I refute the assertion that one can ever have too many knives.

[@samuelcassell5831]

f .

[@Fuar11]

lost

[@victorianoelle1277]

These videos are what give me hope for my day. Thanks Sonia!

[@SOSoniaChannel]

Im so happy to hear that! Go forth with the day and live crazy!

[@GeeMndz]

Something I needed to hear today

[@SOSoniaChannel]

I'm so glad

[@soniasuria]

As always you never fail to impress. Love this video so much because it reminds us that growing up is not such a serious thing. It is definitely different, but we can make the best of it by still holding on to the inner child inside us. Thanks Sonia for another beautiful video that makes my day complete and puts a smile on my face :)

[@Participant]

Exactly! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jacqwolk]

The moment I realized I was growing up was when I heard myself say, "I can't talk right now. I'm in the middle of baking cupcakes for my daughter's soccer team." oh yeah and I was like 41 when I said that

[@ilhamonytube]

This could be "Meet The Most Interesting Woman In The World" beer ad lol. I love this one, Sonia. Keep playing and creating new playlists in your life.

[@linkstering]

This video managed to put a smile on my face and helped me to get in a positive mood when I was feeling very angry for some reason and for that I want to say thanks. And im glad that there are creative people like you out that are an inspiration, a candle in the dark to help lead the way for those that are feeling a little while trying to find themselves.

[@MrPeterRossiter]

I really like how this video is put together, it's awesome!

[@bigbutty1516]

I love Sonia's work so much. What a wonderful being!

[@megan7030]

I love this learning how to be independent is tough sometimes. this video is a little bit of a difference style than your other works but, Im enjoying the change of pace! keep up the good work. I would love to see what your sketchbook looks like? Creativity must just flow out of you, Sonia!

[@majentagirl]

You are such an incredible person, I am so inspired by your kind words and beautiful mind. Have a lovely day!!

[@musicschwartz]

So awesome Sonia! Your videos are getting better and better each time I watch one. We are all so proud of you here at JIS!

[@BurnettBarbie07]

Just turned 18 today... Wow how I desperately needed this video, thanks Sonia!

[@ec2032]

HEY HOWS LIFE ???

[@DifferentAgain]

I am really glad ads got me to you. Your videos are so interesting and moving. Keep up with the wonderfull work Sonia!

[@Em-ic3vm]

Somehow soul pancake always gets me to tear up. I’m crying. I’m crying because I’ve realized that I’m 17. I’m almost a grown up. My childhood is basically over and soon I’ll start to look at places to move to, cars to buy, a job, and so much more. I know I’m still young but it’s daunting. So to all those 17 year olds, we’re in this together. Let’s panic and freak out together.

[@ec2032]

How’s your 20’s

[@booksandbrambles]

Ah dancing with strangers is the best! I was dancing at work today/singing. Makes everything better, always :) Keep rocking the videos Sonia!

[@cuteprincess441]

I love this! I love being a grown up and being able to eat ice cream whenever and drive where I want to go! It's a lot of freedom.

I adore this. Thank you for being such an inspiration of how to be true to yourself and a little quirky! THANK YOU. Sometimes I feel like such a weirdo for being like that, is just so nice to see people like me shining so bright

[@natandjustin]

This video means so much! As 16 i think of the day where i leave off to college in two years.. Even now the though is just so nerve wracking. Thank you Sonia for these soothing thoughts

[@ec2032]

Hey how has life been !!!!??

[@nadine010]

You are amazing Sonia, your videos never fail to inspire me. They are just so creative, unique & lovely. Keep making them, I beg you 😌💕

[@JennaBlossoms]

So beautiful and inspired, and luminous !!!!! LOVE IT.

[@Verte0Jaune]

Wouawwww!!! The message and narrative is as beautiful and poetic as always but man, the way you showed it through image evolved and man it is impressively effortless and funny and sweet and tender and beautiffulllllllllll Sonia you're amazingggggg you're evolving, you're growing up through your movies and it makes me so happy to be able to see them and love themmmm ahhhhh feeelzzzzzzzzzzz

[@louera]

This made me teary, my gosh. Sonia, I wish I coud dance with you and I wish I could care less about what I do in public. but I guess I'll figure that out in the process of growing up and I think when I'll reach 40, I'll never be done with growing still. and this video just reminds me to be silly and happy agai bc ur time on this earth is so limited, so good god, just dance and laugh, be carefree and happy!

[@cinemoni]

Sonia you are so amazing! this video is beautiful and just sosososo(nia) GOOD!

[@sabina5940]

Pleeeeease make more stuff! You are so rad and you have such a special way of connecting with my creative side, and making me realise how existence is magical!

[@LikeARay]

i would scour the world to find a woman like this to share my life with

[@issajess]

this is absolutely brilliant. no video can be as great as this!!

[@kamelacubillos]

I absolutely love this! I know I'm only 14, but I hope one day I will look at becoming an adult the way you do, Sonia! Love your videos :)

[@dreamingofelena4900]

Oh gosh. You don't know how much I needed this. Thank yo so MUCH!❤️

[@nataliedavila1040]

My heart feels so warm and good inside. thank you Sonia. thank you soulpancake 💜

[@FaridaaKarim14]

this is just put art! i love how you tell your stories an d make them so interesting.

[@spacewalkerror4327]

Thank you for this!!! I turned 18 last month and its kind of making me feel better

[@taisiaantisheva1763]

I'm watching it right before my 18th birthday, and that's awesome, thank you!♥

[@BenjaminQuinlan]

I just moved out of my parents in June at 22 years old. Being on my own is hard. But the freedom to fight for a life i want is so invigorating. Being an "adult" isn't all that bad. Difficult no doubt. But it's pretty great actually. The struggle continues!!

[@ec2032]

Hey how Is life ???

[@ShanitaKumar]

YOU ARE AMAZING!! So glad you're back! :D

[@helene4200]

Loved it. And the little girl playing young you was really great!

[@ad3005]

This has honestly made my week.

[@RossGuzman]

I love her face at 3:42 also, I can't get enough of these amazing videos! Keep them coming please!

[@Participant]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@RossGuzman]

And thank you so much for the content you make! :D

[@Mai-mx2vr]

I love your videos! I'm Brazilian and you're always surprizing me more and more

[@ShivaRaichandani]

This is so well made, Sonia! Thanks for sharing your creativity

[@katiewinrow3355]

I died when I saw that reminder that said 'paint this wall, too boring"😂😂😂

[@hiitssara]

I just can't get enough of your videos ahhhh

[@aninditadwiput]

Ahh you have such a wonderful soul. I've met you once and it's literally the coolest thing that happened to me ❣

[@elladewhurst5355]

You're so inspiring and awesome the clever way in which you create is so intriguing I love it, thanks for making such honest thought provoking videos. 😊😊😊😊🙌 x

[@Nunaz79]

oh my... how much you grow sonia! your video is always interesting to be watched

[@AnastasiaDinda]

I saw you when Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye came to Jakarta, glad to see your pumping out new stuff :D

[@chesney1022001]

its 2017 but i miss sosonia, i love her content so so much!!!

[@princesstedla1234]

Ahhhh baby Sonia is SO CUTE

[@Participant]

Right!?! So much sass.

[@JohnoNZ]

When it's time for you to venture out, don't let fear have you looking back at what you're leaving behind.

[@teshn1229]

Relatable! - first year at college when there really was no one to tell me to go to bed....or when I could do my shopping/go to shops whenever without telling anyone....or living days by myself, hardly seeing/talking to anyone (not that that's good for me). and yeah, the empty fridge :( haha

[@AwkwardJeremyTV]

Ahhh!! Love this and you. Missing our summer roadtrip so much Sonia!

[@Myllkka]

Feeling really anxious and guilty about being an adult today, I needed this

[@ilovecutexoxo]

Crazzzyyy in love with the contents and quality of your videoosss!!!

[@Laralove14927]

I’m 16 and I feel like this! I still live with my parents but do most things on my own, and I’m moving out next month

[@miaasante3772]

Absolutely love this ! just so inspiring every time , and so heartwarming

[@sparkleevenmore9638]

I feel like this is still me, relatively late in life. I'm divorced after a long marriage and my kids have left home. I've never lived on my own. It was scary at first but I'm getting used to it now, and it's empowering.

[@chesney1022001]

I love how real she is

[@LyssandraSkyeArias]

I literally love your work, seen nothing like it before. Who inspires you?

[@Saraheyp]

This is awesome!!!! I am ALMOST to this point... just can't afford to live on my own yet. Everything else describes me. Ha!

[@neri4949]

amazing work!! also your voice is really relaxing :)

[@MsPiineapple]

I aspire to become as fearless as you and dance in the supermarket ahah. Great job as always.

[@subhakhan1900]

I love seeing her videos in my subscription box! 😊

[@SOSoniaChannel]

Yaaay! So glad to hear that! :)

[@arielmarie8493]

I love love these type of videos I really hope to see more

[@Jen18lol]

Oh I have nooo problem embracing my inner child!!

[@stitch_u_ation]

I still haven't gotten there even at 52 ( I think it's 52, but age kind of reverts you back to crayons ) I have never lost the sense of wonder in my life. I am still learning new things, still growing as a person, and I even forget to a pay a bill now and again. However now that I am married, have children and those children have children - I am happy to say there is still a support system which occasionally will drop a bag of groceries off at the kids house when I know they are running low on food. Did someone say crayons -- got to run the grandkids are making masterpieces and I don't want to miss out.

[@ec2032]

How’s life been ?

[@yessicahernandez2662]

I enjoy each of your authentic videos 💕

[@SOSoniaChannel]

Thank you so much! As a filmmaker and as Sonia that really means a lot to me

Amazing as always

[@davemaddendotnet]

[@juliagats4302]

Woahwoahwoah this was such an awesome video! Hella inspiring!!!

[@nex.nah.]

I watch this now that i am turning 15 in may. I am so scared of growing up, of leaving my parents. Of that They will die one day, i love my parents so much and i don’t know if i will ever stop. I always thought, nah i will be a child forever and my parents will always be here it’s just How it is. Now i understand that it’s not. But this video made a little bit happy, Thanks

[@maryharp610]

it's so simple: I see Sonia, I press Like compulsively.

[@ulyanasemyonkina3799]

That is a wonderful, beautiful video.

[@mythirdchannel]

You've reminded me I need to set up a doctor's appointment too XD AND! I love that you dance outside like nobody's watching.

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

you dont have to go to the doctor, just trust in Jesus and eat healthy :)

[@jellyrose263]

@@TheMusicvideoVEVO don’t do this. This is how people die. Jesus will not always take the wheel

[@BLKENDOLLBARBIE]
