Sophia, the part about your parents made me choke up. I am a Vietnamese adoptee and after 25 years in the US I tracked down my birth family and TWIN SISTER who is still in Vietnam. I am already contemplating the possibility of one day moving back to Vietnam and I don't think non immigrants realize how emotional and heavy those decisions can be. Best of luck to your parents' new chapter. They know you and your sis are strong and independent and will be just fine without them here

🥺thank you sharing Isla. Sending you a big hug! I hope everything works out

"It's extremely hard to do the opposite of what brain and body are telling you to do" - I felt that so much. This is exactly what having a generalized anxiety disorder due to PTSD feels like. The anxiety never stops, it's always there, it always fills your head, never shuts up, and you have to do everything despite it chewing your ear off constantly. It's so paralyzing and debilitating, and the most difficult thing is that the struggle is mostly silent and invisible. Many people don't know how hard it is to do even the most mundane of tasks with a hightened level of anxiety, with your brain constantly telling you to run away, flee, and hide at home. I've been fighting this for over 10 years now. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it gets worse again. It takes a massive amount of strength to defy what your brain is telling you to do. We're warriors. You'll get through this.

omg haha you've been here for a minute!! That means so much. I have so much love for you Kiana! Thank you 🤍

Ever since you started documenting your journey with quitting smoking, it’s made the voice in my head that’s been pondering quitting for good get a little louder. I’ve smoked since I was 12 & I’m almost 30 now. It’s the only thing left of my Mom that I have & I know that sounds stupid but I’ve been clinging to it even though I hate everything about my addiction. Thank you for being an example to me, Sophia. Your courage & vulnerability on here are contagious. Sending all the love in my heart. You are a legend.

All food is guilt-free unless you’ve stolen it ;) eating things for enjoyment is just as important as eating foods to nourish your body x

I am so proud of your journey and how open you are being with your struggles. I am not going through the same withdrawal, it’s completely different, but I am learning how to be a different me. You help make it easier to just share authentically what is happening and just being vulnerable while also keeping pieces private. I’m cheering for you girl!

I’m so proud of you Sophia!!!!!!!❤️ sending you lots of love and encouragement

Hi Sophia! I’ve been watching you since my college days. I’m so proud of you!❤ Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Cute little snippets of your relationship, happy for you, also congratulations on going strong with the quitting! You absolutely deserve this, you deserve health and freedom, you can do this!

I've always loved watching your daily life and find it truly inspirational to now see your new journey and struggles. You're incredibly strong to even take action! Will always be here rooting for you 🤎

I loved watching Mama Chang cooking up a storm at your old place, Wishing they would visit you before going back to Korea. Wishing all the best to your parents opening a new chapter in their life and you as well.

You've got this Sophie. Your strength is always so clear. Love your vlogs as usual.

Soph!! Inner dialogue can be heart wrenching and I am proud of you for getting through. My heart also goes out to you re your parents moving back to Korea. Girl you deserve a hug!!! ❤❤❤

Gurlllll! I’m so proud of you! I have been watching you since LA and you have come so far! Just remember your badass! You can do anything you put your mind too!

As I watch this, I just want to say thank you Sophia~ You've helped me through a funk that I've hit in my life and watching your videos, hearing your honesty, and wisdom has just settled so many roaring thoughts that I've been going through. Thank you for being you

yoooo that black coat though!? sophie we need the deets!!! feel you on your emotions about your parents moving back - my parents just did the same last year; it’s been hard navigating the time difference but it makes me treasure the 1-2 times a year we can spend together so much more.

Good to see you on such a profound journey and you look fantastic!

Proud of the amount of discipline that you’re showing by quitting smoking! You’ve got this!

Oh, my heart breaks for you seeing you cry and reading your comments about your inner struggle😥 My therapist encouraged me to say positive affirmations out loud to myself when I wanted to drive through McDonald's when I was feeling the work stress. It truly helped me! Still have 50lbs to lose but I'm not giving up either. You deserve to be healthy and happy Sophia💜

I’m so happy for mama and papa Chang💖 I hope they’re truly happy in Korea… and to you Sophie, don’t give up, you’ve got this. Be strong and take care💖 love you xo

Keep your head high! You got this, girl! You will beat this addiction 💕

Love you Soph! Your authenticity is beautiful ❤

Thank you for continuing to share your life,human experience,your journey.... Its inspiring ❤❤❤❤

I’m proud of you Sophia every day is a victory

Proud of you Girl ! You got this 🫶🏻

I quit smoking about 7 years ago and it was hard not to have one after a coffee or with friends while out. I did smoke one last summer and it was not as good as it was before. Right now, it's been a week and I reaaaaally feel the need to smoke one but I'm holding on. I feel you. But you will feel soooooo much better everyday. Keep it up Sophia ! You got this girl !

You deserve good things. Praying for you!

We got you 100% Sophia

Been following you since I was in college when KZread started becoming a thing. It’s been so cool watching you grow up.

loveee that brown thermal!!

Your journey is truly inspiring! I miss Mama Chang 😢❤

I am going to miss mama Chang for real❤. I am not your demographic but you inspire me, and I love watching you grow and thrive. Thank You for being here♥️.

Sophia, I've been a subbie for so freaking long and i never comment but just felt called to do so on this video. My parents recently moved back to their home country of Nigeria and I went through a lot of the same feelings you're going through, I'm glad you're taking it so well and it will definitely be fine! I'm also glad they get to go back home and spend more time in a place that I'm sure they are eager to get back to and reconnect with. I hope you get to create beautiful memories with them in Korea, It's definitely sad they won't be here but it's great that you can see them often. I hope your journey to be smoke free will be successful, It will be hard and it will be a constant journey but hopefully it will get easier with time. Best of luck and thank you for continuing to share your stories and journey with us ❤ Now back to lurking.......

You’re doing great, my Sister! The journey is so real. Love to you❤

Sophia, I still remember watching your videos when you went by fashionista504. We are about the same age (I’m 32) and always found your journey and life inspiring, especially cuz we are very similar! I had no idea you were a vaper, as it never came across in your videos. I am one year sober from vaping, I vaped for over 10 years. Let me tell you, it was THE hardest thing I ever had to do. You DON’T sound dramatic at all. I completely understand what you’re going through. I honestly thought vaping was going to be a part of my life till the day I die, it WAS my third arm also, it never left my side. What made me quit was my internship (working at a school as a student teacher with elementary kids). I was stressing out about how I was going to teach for 7 hrs a day and find time to vape off site from the school. I stressed about it SO much, I felt that it was a sign that I needed to just quit. It hurt me to think about students finding out I smoked, disappointing students or having parents see me smoking. Since I was so busy morning until night planning lessons and working at the school, it really helped from all the shitty internal thoughts. Giiirl, let me tell you, I use to vape the moment I woke up, the moment I had breakfast and my coffee, my morning commute to work, after every meal, every time I was out, it NEVER left my hand. BUT I promise you, it gets easier. I also feel that if I can do it, anyone can. I think the biggest tackle and challenge are the thoughts. Don’t let them win!!Mindset is everything. I am rooting for you also!! ❤

You GOT this girl!!!! 💪🏼👊🏼

So proud of you! We celebrate everyday for doing even the most tiny improvement, it's still a step forward!. I believe in you. We believe in you!.🎉

YOU CAN DO IT, SOPH!!!

YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT HONEY. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Over a month! That's very cool man. learning how to reprogram yourself is a super power. you can do it! i know it. you got through the hardest part.

Don’t give in Sophia. You are strong. I’m proud of you.

Sophia….you are amazing! The battlefield of the mind isn’t for the weak.

Damn, I’m really gonna miss Mama Chang’s presence in your vlogs. She’s such a joy. ☺️

YES! ug, I have an inner voice/critic that says the wildest shit too, do this hits. thank you for being so vulnerable. you don't have to. and well done for battling your inner critic. you're doing amazing! 🥹💖

i'm very happy with your progress. never lose your faith. loves from brazil S2

We are all rooting for you, you can do it!❤

Way to go, Sophia!! Addiction, nicotine or anything else, is such a personal challenge. Thank you for sharing your journey though - we are all rooting for you!

Sophia, all the best of inner strength, perseverance and luck to you on your journey to quitting smoking! YOU GOT THIS! Every day is a little victory, just imagine that you are doing your lungs a favor, and every time your mind/body tells you to just have a cigarette, logically answer to yourself - THIS IS ME CARING FOR MYSELF AND MY BODY, AND NOTHING CAN BE MORE IMPORTANT! Good luck :)

You Can Do It Sophie!!!

SHE HAS ELEVATEDDDD AHHH!!!

You can do it! You're doing great!!

we're proud of you Sophie

Your vlogs are always my favorites!

I quit on the 1st. I can’t believe how hard it’s been, but I’m doin the damn thang!!Thank you for this!

Beautiful video Sophia!!!

You can do this Sophia!!

So proud of you, Sophia 🥹👏🏾

as someone who has lost family members to cancer due to smoking, I feel so happy for you for taking care of yourself no matter how hard it is, You're doing great, keep going 😍😍

Your place is sooo beautiful. I know you don't want to do a house tour, so I'm happy just seeing snippets of it. That m&p was sooo pretty. Could you share where you got it?

I'm sure it's hard to say goodbye to your parents but on the other hand it's only temporary and you will get to plan these fun trips and visit them ❤️ proud of your hard work too and I'm glad to see you happy with your partner ✨️

You’re gonna be fine and I am rooting for you🎉❤

Keep up the great work Sophie!! You got this!! I understand the whole inner voice bc I get that when I want pure junk food when I’m trying to get healthier. Salanghaeyo❤❤❤

You got this Soso!!

I remember watching your video Now or Never from two years ago where you said you quit vaping I thought you stop I wasn't aware you were still doing it. Rooting for you and wishing you all the strength I know you can do this

Hi Sophia! It made me smile when you put caption “화이팅!“ at the end of the video. 정말 화이팅입니다 😊

Im so proud of you🥺💕

hi sophia! my boyfriend is actually in his quitting era too! he has smoked/vaped for 7 years & he’s going through it rn 😭 thanks for showing us your journey, you’re so strong- keep going 🖤

You can do this! I quit smoking while in grad school and so glad I did. I don't like to be dependent on anything unnatural that my body doesn't create for itself. I wish you strength. The urges will lessen over time and if you gain a few pounds you'll be able get rid of those much easier than quitting smoking. You're very active
