It’s terrible. I hope he receives all the care and healing and possibly a good break from school.

Is not about the famous people or influencers you talk to when in any state of depression. Life is about whom you devote yourself to. Knowing Jesus Christ is far diff from being just a church attendant. John 3:16 Hebrews 12:2

It’s sad. I went through this phase a few years ago, and I understand the pain and frustration he went through. I had to find a way to keep sane. Tough times.

@mistatribe said:

lmao... this sounds more like s/o to me. you needed help and it was influencers you spoke to - joker! half of these guys got nothing on you and this goes to every young person out there trying to seek for help or support. sad bit but thank god he was saved - shallom

@WaduduUmar indicated:

I forsee him competing with people. He mentioned quiet a number of names, some responded and some did not and he is blaming those who could not. Selfish way of thinking, you don't know what they might be going through.
