yeah even as a young adult i think about my younger days riding bikes with my siblings was my favorite thing the one escape we had, also happy thanksgiving peeps🥸
“My most considered, like, "successful" moment of my life was the worst The most depressed I've ever been Literally feeling like I'd probably be happier if I was just dead I got a number one on Billboard, my song (Let You Down) is massive right now Like I may never have a song this big again My tour, I think every date sold out except one date So I literally had everything that I had always dreamed of happening (yeah) And I felt, I didn't feel happy at all And so I think what happened was I spiraled really bad 'Cause I was like, "I'm here, and if this is it, there's gotta be more for me 'Cause if this is it, like, it's not gonna work" NF-Interlude
“I’d give anything to feel that way again.” I’m about to get deeply personal here but I’m obviously comfortable enough with you two and the community to share. And I know y’all know some of this already. This song hits hard and I can’t believe I’ve never heard it before. But anyways, it obviously makes me think back to when I was young and innocent, but especially makes me think of my two younger brothers. The youngest is 10 years younger than me and my half brother so we didn’t really have that experience together of being children, and my other brother is 2 and 1/2 years younger than me and we have the same parents. And we were always very, very close. Always were together and had fun. Then we went through a lot of abuse but stuck together and I always was his protector and took the majority of the abuse. But then as I got older I started making horrible decisions. Like I’m the oldest and I should’ve been the role model but I wasn’t. I had severe mental problems and would self-harm and attempted to unalive myself a few times. I ended up getting an addiction to drugs and was drinking heavy amounts every day. Doing criminal things and was out of control. And it really put a huge strain on he and I’s relationship. He would find me passed out in my car after drinking and driving and had to come to the hospital after I wrecked into another car. Witnessed me OD and saved my life. But saw me just deteriorating in front of him and it got to a point where he wouldn’t talk to me for 2 years. I’ve still struggled with drugs to this day and making some dumb decisions and he’s just always been so disappointed in me. I’m so proud of him though because he turned out so successful and happy. As for my youngest brother, my mom always tells me just how much he looks up to me compared to my other brother. And in a way I hate that because I am in no way a good role model. And I’ve put him through hell. He’s always concerned about me and has had anxiety attacks when I’ve been at my lowest. Him and I are now the closest to each other and unfortunately he deals with a lot of mental illness too and I always try to be there for him no matter what. And then of course I think about all of the shit I’ve put my parents through. For them to see me be a happy innocent kid to the way that I turned out hurts them a lot. I rarely ever see my dad cry but when he does it’s because of me. I carry a lot of guilt for all of this but as I’ve gotten older I’m working hard on myself to be a better person. Not just for them, but also for me. Anyways sorry for the trauma dumping 😂 this song just really hit me and made me reflect on things. Also I love that you guys are able to have great conversations with your patients! I think it’s so cool! You two are amazing, never forget that.
Becca, Thank you for always being so vulnerable and sharing apart of your life with us. You have been through a lot in your life so far, and I know I can speak for Andrea as well when I say that we are so incredibly glad you are our friend and are here today. You are a huge part of our JBG family and it wouldn’t be the same without you! I’m incredibly grateful for you and God does have a purpose for you. I’m sorry that over the years your relationship with your brother has waivered, but I hope things change! There is something truly special about a siblings love. Love your girl! Truly proud of how far you have come and will continue to go! 💜💜💜-D
@ Thank you, Dallas. You seriously have no idea how much that means to me. Sometimes I feel like I’m over sharing but at the same time I just kinda hope that my story can be relatable and help others through similar things. I’m very glad you two are in my life and that we’ve grown to know each other. As corny or crazy as it may sound, I definitely consider y’all as friends and thank you for always hearing me out. I hope to be able to fix my relationships with my family, and especially my siblings. I’m trying very hard to do so. And I really don’t know what my purpose is here yet but I hope to be able to figure it out. Love you guys. Thank you for giving a platform that I feel comfortable enough with sharing these things. 🖤
Highly suggested: The latest EPICA - *_”Arcana”_* (Live at The Symphonic Synergy) The Netherlands 09/20/24 : th-cam.com/video/7xXPyAhHhXc/w-d-xo.html Note from the band: The time has come to write history once more. 15 years have passed since ‘The Classical Conspiracy’ and 10 years since we recorded another milestone in our career, ‘Retrospect’ - now, over a decade later, we are once again about to enter the stage with a full orchestra and choir. Under the title, ‘The Symphonic Synergy’, we will play two massive “Epica & Orchestra” shows. One in our home country, the Netherlands (09/20/24) and another one in our second home, Mexico (12/07/24). Finally, it is happening.
This song underscores why it is, and I will say it, evil to push kids into these gender and sex issues younger and younger. The loss of innocence is a real thing, and once those other issues are brought into a child's life, they increase depression and complicate a child's life. exponentially. The loss of innocence is evil.
No one is "pushing" kids into gender issues. That literally doesn't happen, and I'd be hard-pressed to find a verifiable instance of it. My son knew he was trans when he was 8, told his friends when he was 12, and didn't tell me until he was 15. I got him treatment right away, as any responsible & caring parent would, because his internal struggle was having a negative affect on his mental health. He literally had to go to weekly counseling, monthly doctor visits, monthly blood testing, and four brain scans - all of that for an entire year before he was allowed to start any kind of hormone therapy. He's 23 years old now and hasn't had any inkling of changing his mind. Trans people are less than 2% of the population of 330 million in this country. They just want to live their lives, have the same civil & human rights as any other citizens of this nation have, and be left alone. It's foolish to allow them to be scapegoated. They aren't the enemy. The rich leaders of this country are always turning us against each other so we don't pay attention as they run out of the back door with all the money. Don't allow them to do it.
NF is one of the few artists that hits every single emotion. He doesn’t have just one lane. He has the entire road map at his disposal.
By far, my most favorite NF song.
yeah even as a young adult i think about my younger days riding bikes with my siblings was my favorite thing the one escape we had, also happy thanksgiving peeps🥸
Cap pistols and Huffy bikes from Walmart, all over the neighbourhood... Can identify. 🤍🤍🤍
@@Deletirium yup that was my childhood
“My most considered, like, "successful" moment of my life was the worst
The most depressed I've ever been
Literally feeling like I'd probably be happier if I was just dead
I got a number one on Billboard, my song (Let You Down) is massive right now
Like I may never have a song this big again
My tour, I think every date sold out except one date
So I literally had everything that I had always dreamed of happening (yeah)
And I felt, I didn't feel happy at all
And so I think what happened was I spiraled really bad
'Cause I was like, "I'm here, and if this is it, there's gotta be more for me
'Cause if this is it, like, it's not gonna work" NF-Interlude
Amazing song.🖤🤍
Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love this song! NF's version of Twenty One Pilots song "Stressed Out". Love the reaction!
Things were traumatic and tumultuous when I was a kid, but I'd still rather be there than here
