Y’all wanna know something crazy ? About 30 mins ago I was ready to give up. Balling my eyes out. I said fuck it, no friends, no family. Feels like no love, I was done. And then this video popped up. 🙏🏾 Edit: thank you all so much, words cannot explain how all these positive comments have helped me. Y’all are amazing
I be depressed sometimes but I refuse to commit suicide even tho I had suicidal thoughts in the past too. Things get better in time you just can’t give up 💯
Man that just made me respect that dude even more.. mental health is everything people have no clue. And we as black man sometimes feel ashamed to discuss our issues.
This may go unnoticed but I am a upcoming artist that working hard & worth the listen 💫🎧 I once thought of suicide I got the talent and reason to live . Tap in
If you listen well at his tone and the way he's delivering his speech you can tell his heart's racing. You can tell he's reliving the moment. She's tearing up too.
I lock myself in my bedroom for months and disconnect. I can relate and I'm trying to get to that Happy place for 8 years now, so grateful he talked about this. Kevin doesn't know how much he does through talking things out and helping others. We love you through spirit K.G. and need you here.
Thank you for sharing. Willing you health, peace of mind, lightness of heart and success in all your righteous endeavors. I believe society is controlled by forces of darkness. We are encouraged to seek happiness outside of ourselves because “they” know that the spirit of the creator can only be connected with internally. When ever we reach out and encourage one another we are working on behalf of our creator. Be encouraged, you are here for a reason and a purpose. Don’t let the dark forces win… they want you locked in your room disconnected. You have so much to bless the world with, and you are the only one who is in possession of the unique gifts that the world is in need of.
Being depressed is so real wish kevin nothing but the best and so proud that he's still here to talk about this. PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO ANYONE THAT'S GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION. ASE
I’ve been going through depression for the past four years. Every day is a struggle. I’m just fighting for the sake of my kids but it’s so hard. Every day I wonder if or when I’m going to snap and lose my mind for good. Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on.Sad, Sleepless nights and an unbearable pain and emptiness that lives inside
Keep fighting. Im praying for you🙏. Jesus loves you !You are needed here and just live freely. You are loved but love starts will loving yourself and accepting yourself and your situation for what it is. Dont worry about what you dont have, or were you are supposed to be or have. Stop watching these people who are flashing before the camera because most of them are going thru something as well and putting on a front. Just take one day at a time. Take time to find out 5 things thats makes you happy ( Read the bible you can start from any part of it, watch comedy movies, find people on UA-cam who speaks positive affirmations, journal your thoughts every day, try incorporating Turmeric in your daily life its helps with depression. The foods we eat have a lot to do with the negative thoughts. I have been in your situation because you often get tired but I talk to God to give me the strength and listen to happy music and listen to sermons. I pray this bring you some type of comfort 🙏

Thats right beautiful well said! We love you Black and Brown Ye are kings! Please forgive Us for not acknowledging and adding more pressure on yall! Im working on doing better each day ! Because Yall deserve so much more 💕😘🌹
I can relate ive been struggling with depression,anxiety and panic attacks for soo long it feels normal.I cannot seem to shake it.I just recently decided i need help because the constant thoughts of taking my own life is getting overwhelming. Worse part is i'm constantly telling my family and they seem not to hear me.Yet they'll be the same ones crying at my funeral.Then people wonder why some of us just stay quiet. I 🤞🏼🙏🏽 for everyone that struggles on a daily for a reason to keep going 😔💔.. Trust me i feel your pain..
You just keep telling god to ease your heart and your mind cause he got you, you're never alone don't give in to those thoughts you can do this. He promises us ever lasting life in his kingdom if we just try to live for him everyday. Talk to him daily he'll get you through. Be blessed in Jesus name amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.

@@ur.highness This is weird, but I'll try. I showed my cousin this man once, and he was in the same position as you. It was responsible for him still being alive today, and changed his live.

He's so right about people once just being happy to have a regular car or a new pair of shoes, let alone super expensive items. We've got to go back to the simpler things that bring us happiness. Great interview.
Your music has gotten me through the two most important people I lost the last two weeks even when I don’t want to deal with life I turn your music on and just sit and drive and appreciate life
Ladies this is why you have to appreciate your men, thank them, talk to them, help them. A man wants the same as a woman, he wants to feel secure also. Y’all stay up💯
Mental health is one of the most hardest things people truly do not understand some people truly do not understand battling depression and anxiety and more the struggle is real

Man I’m sitting up here in tears. Straight up I have a whole new level of love and respect for This brother. That energy was everywhere. The enemy was trying to take us out! Man the every point he made was true. This is my second time watching this video back to back. Peace continued on Brother Gates. Man this is heavy!
Everytime I watch something new on Kevin Gates, I love him more. I respect what he's saying. I don't have the words to express my joy for him not going through with what he planned to do. That would have hurt deeply. This is a great interview and I really can not get enough of him. All love
Man I promise you the Battlefield of the Mind is real. Always think positive affirmations and try not to think negative about yourself. We love you Kevin!
Hearin somebody as self aware as Gates speak on this is humbling. I been there myself it gets dark. Anybody who fight these feelings keep faith in Yo self an the Most High , it get better 🙏🏾☔️

I could talk to him for hours, heck, days. I’ve had strange spiritual experiences and I’d love to hear his take on it…glad there’s people out there like this.
Kevinnnnnnnnn! This is heart wrenching and heart felt thanks for your transparency. This spoke volumes. I appreciate the lady next to you her tears are the truth.
I lowkey ain't been on no social media in like 1yr-1.5yrs. No Instagram, no Twitter, no nothing this the closest thing to social media. Now to this story it's good to see people like Kevin Gates winning eternally. I'm going thru the same thing spiritually somewhat this world fake deprogram y'all mind from this place
@@1godsgift237 Thanks btw I just thought about what I said not going to kill myself yikes. No offense to no one who is doing it I'm off social media cause I don't care to talk on there nor see someone glorify they life. Plus it's a very big distraction. I'm going thru a place of no one understands me and everyone can't be slow so I kinda just stay Dolo 👌🏾
Gates I needed this young brother as a man I been depressed for almost a year. Battling for sanity I truly appreciate you speaking your truth my guy. Keep pushing through homie.
As I pour my heart out, and tears fall down my face I just wanna say thank you to the man that gave Kevin that hug. Sometimes believe it or not all it takes is someone to talk with you. Without knowing what you’re going through or what your intentions are. Anywho I came to the restroom while at work and here I am crying my eyes out because I felt this deeply.
I’ve looked up to this artist since I heard his first track but now I look up to him as a man. It takes something most don’t have to be open about this. I’ve lived with depression my whole life and talking about it takes something. This man is a G
This is so accurate I learned from a past relationship that men need to have a safe space and they needed to be celebrated and shown their appreciated. I try my best to provide this for my husband
Can you advise how to? Just listening to this makes me think about my husband as well. I thought I was doing well but sometimes what you do is never enough and I often deal with my own depression episodes.
I really appreciate this Kevin, you are saving lives by being open and honest. I myself have the same thoughts and I feel as though this video is a sign to stay here longer. Thank you.
I just started seeing Kevin's youtube shorts! About a year ago. And he has open my eyes, my mind, and got me thinking about things that are beyond my minds understanding. I'm so in love with the man's heart and mind. Thank God you still here. We need you bro.
Step back a moment and just observe how the family/friends of loved ones have to go through , the questions, the guilt feelings of not being able to help, the pain of LOSS ... You are not only taking your life senseless, but others as well.
1:17 I saw this on TikTok and I had to find this on UA-cam. I felt like God led me here because I had a lot on my mind today. I tried to express to my wife but she basically tried to use it against me. This video had me in tears. I see why us men like to have our alone time to release all the negative energy we go through. Some women understand and some don’t. As men we gotta uplift each other. We’re human, we have emotions too. I’m literally watching this with my daughter laying beside me.
As a man we’re not allowed to show feelings or tell people how we feel . They consider us week if we do so we hold it in until we explode and sometimes it’s too late
@@hix9306 Thank you so much for sharing this. As a woman, it's a big deal to hear a man speak vulnerable like Kevin Gates is here and also you sharing how that resonates....
@@katayoonanoushiravani6664 yea it’s tough but luckily my wife understands me and I can open up and be me and say how I feel and she doesn’t look as week
This was a real in depth interview, i really enjoyed it. Get tired of the fake shit, like everybody happy and everything is great. This was real and personal.
God spoke to me when I was 16 and he told me whenever you're going through a hard time, you need to talk to someone about it. The same way that guy at the gym gave Kevin Gates a few words of encouragement and it helped him change his mind. Reach out, talk to someone! Don't be afraid!
OMG OMG😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 SIR IM SO HAPPY U STILL HERE TO TESTIFY. THIS ISH BROKE MY HEART. I HOPE PEOPLE R LISTENING TO HIM.😭😭😭😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽GOD HELP US ALL🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Everyone who is resonating with this video is for a reason. We all see this video and feel what we feel for a reason. He speakin from the heart the whole time. So much energy
That 😢 crying hit me when he started telling the story about leaving the Gym… and a Fan of Gates respectfully discussing how His music prevented him from committing Suicide 😩😢😭😭😭😭😭😭. I couldn’t stop crying had to pray 🙏🏽 afterwards
It's heavy listening to him say these things, bc that was me 2 days ago. I was ready to go! And people I hadn't talked to in a while just seemed to reach out, out of the blue. To anyone who's suffering, you really are not alone! You have people that will listen! ❤️
Our community and this country needs to do more, to advocate for Mental Health/Wellness awareness. Salute to this Brother, for sharing his story. If anyone is struggling, please, for your sake, and your loved ones sake, go seek help! Find you a psychologist, that you feel comfortable with. Interview these licensed professionals, and get yourself some help. Depression is very real.
I've been like that numerous of time.😔😢 My soul just tired, ppl think just because you smile and laughing you're happy. I've been dealt a hard hand. I've learned that "GOD DOESN'T GIVE HIS HARDEST BATTLES TO HIS TOUGHEST SOLDIERS, HE CREATES THE TOUGHEST SOLDIERS OUT OF LIFE'S HARDEST BATTLES," with that being said keep going don't give up because some people that was dealt a good hand couldn't walk a miles in mines/your shoes. Only the strongest to survive, in my Kevin Gates voice carry on🙌
I have a friend that committed suicided, after suffering from depression. I suffered alot from depression and its normal to have suicidal thoughts. Depression its tuff man. I felt everything this man said. I felt extremely depressed because I'm a provider myself and feeling like you failed those you care about especially once you start getting up their in age can make it even harder sometimes. I try to go to the gym and stay occupied that wjat helped me.
"The only thing that can make you happy is fixing what's internal." Stop the comparisons, focus on your growth and betterment, stop focusing on negatives the anxieties and be happy (talking to myself as well)
@@Quickstepz-OG what about the symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders that sent me in and out the emergency room a few times some years back, leaving me with those same acute symptoms, like shortness of breath and chest pains for example? The random heart palpitations and short breaths (along with life’s bullshit that’s already paved) get old after 20 years as well, so I feel you.
Man god love to you Kevin gates you’ve help me so much I got 4 months clean I let my girl go cause I new i have to love myself your inspiration has help me so much I listen to your motivation video on UA-cam every day ….. god and you are teaching me to walk away from toxic people and love myself and put myself first
The best thing is to talk about it, let it out. There is always someone there that will listen even when you don't think there is. There is always light at the other end of the tunnel. Some people don't want to go and see a therapist but don't even think that it's a bad idea. Talk to family, friends anyone trust me they will listen. Never give up. There is too much in this world to love for, and you will hurt more people than you can ever imagine. I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all the best.
Fantastic interview! New found respect for Kevin 💯 A piece of life changing advice I got from a therapist… “If you can imagine a spectrum. At one end is sadness, the other end is happiness. Two extremes on opposite sides. What lies in between? Peace with yourself/life! If you can wake up everyday, acknowledging all the peace in your life, happiness won’t seem so far and you’ll stop seeking that “extreme” and just seek to go about your everyday with peace.” and nothings been the same since! Don’t get hung up on the “extreme” feelings of sadness or happiness. It comes and goes. Seek peace in everything you do and happiness finds you. 🙏🏾💝
I felt it too very much my life now fighting my demons and praying and doing the work to get to the best of me yeah man u are the one realize who you are we are already smart without schooling get that no graduates some of us so we had to research which I think is the best teacher is yourself manifest your life and. 💥💥💥💥💥
I lost my older brother December 11,2020 worst day of my life!!!! Felt this to the T.... dates match my timeline and all...... 🤦🏻♀️ he was the reason I ever listened to Kevin. I know he wanted me to see this... It popped right up. I know this was you brother..... I see you everywhere still🙌🏼🥰

Wow, I respect this dude on so many levels, I laugh thru my pain when I really am feeling so down on the inside as well. A lot of what he said I needed to hear again. Grace and Peace to Kevin Gates and everything attached to him💜
Simply wow. As Tears slowly run down my face, Ill keep it true, #KevinGates has truly helped me and for whatever reason this video showed up on my phone was fate. Perfectly placed great words to keep me moving thru a very imperfect personal situation. Thank you
Facts, his music helped my through depression! The song, I can't be the one you love, literally transcendent my spirit to a higher place. The instrumental alone realigned my chakras because its at 900mhz!!! ❤❤
All of you, love who you are..thru hurt, pain, trauma... You are loved, you are special, you are human worthy of being here..No matter what life brings..#stickaround
I ain't gon hold you. THE FIRST WOMAN THAT BROKE MY HEART WAS MY MOTHER AND THE ONLY WOMAN TO EVER LOVE ME WAS MY GRANDMOTHER. that for sure me. Stay up Kevin, you a great one.
Wow...didn't know this...Just glad he made it BACK from that place..and delighted that he's courageous enough to talk about it.Big Ups Kevin Gates..I bet you saved many lives speaking on this..THANK YOU❤️
I be feeling the same way but i hope you get through whatever it is, we got to be strong out here, you can cause a chain reaction because i know its somebody that loves you whole heartily that will be devastated if you give up
this is why i love this man so much he speaks about shit that no one wants to talk about he rlly helps me and so many others through his music and when he speaks like this
Y’all wanna know something crazy ? About 30 mins ago I was ready to give up. Balling my eyes out. I said fuck it, no friends, no family. Feels like no love, I was done. And then this video popped up. 🙏🏾

I be depressed sometimes but I refuse to commit suicide even tho I had suicidal thoughts in the past too. Things get better in time you just can’t give up 💯
Salute to you ❤️ that’s the best way too cope with Depression ..
They dont always get better, you just use to things the way they are and accept it for what it is.
No..don't give up..you'll have some bad days, you'll have good days or just ok moments but you're worth being here.
Facts 💯
Yes sir! Remember “this too shall pass”.
Like he said “if it touches one person it’s served it’s purpose” 💯 Blessings
Man that just made me respect that dude even more.. mental health is everything people have no clue. And we as black man sometimes feel ashamed to discuss our issues.
I needed to hear this. God is almighty.
We have to get out of that stigmatism! Normalization of addressing mental health in our communities should be a priority!
Love ya bruh! For real
Something you have to realize it’s u can’t separate it’s not just black men ….all men are equal through god and we all suffer from this as men

Hearin somebody as self aware as Gates speak on this is humbling. I been there myself it gets dark. Anybody who fight these feelings keep faith in Yo self an the Most High , it get better 🙏🏾☔️
This may go unnoticed but I am a upcoming artist that working hard & worth the listen 💫🎧
I once thought of suicide I got the talent and reason to live . Tap in
I could talk to him for hours, heck, days. I’ve had strange spiritual experiences and I’d love to hear his take on it…glad there’s people out there like this.
i love how well he articulates his emotions! happy birthday gates!
Damn, it’s crazy to hear Gates dealing with depression. I’m glad he posted this.
Kevinnnnnnnnn! This is heart wrenching and heart felt thanks for your transparency. This spoke volumes. I appreciate the lady next to you her tears are the truth.
I lowkey ain't been on no social media in like 1yr-1.5yrs. No Instagram, no Twitter, no nothing this the closest thing to social media. Now to this story it's good to see people like Kevin Gates winning eternally. I'm going thru the same thing spiritually somewhat this world fake deprogram y'all mind from this place
Facts… Keep your head up
@@1godsgift237 Thanks btw I just thought about what I said not going to kill myself yikes. No offense to no one who is doing it I'm off social media cause I don't care to talk on there nor see someone glorify they life. Plus it's a very big distraction. I'm going thru a place of no one understands me and everyone can't be slow so I kinda just stay Dolo 👌🏾
Gates I needed this young brother as a man I been depressed for almost a year. Battling for sanity I truly appreciate you speaking your truth my guy. Keep pushing through homie.
This shot was deep bro and I haven’t cried since my father funeral this was some real shit love gates he’s uplifting to listen to
“I’m a provider, my actions go unacknowledged” - Kevin
I hope he truly realizes his music helps a lot of people . When I feel down and have to face another obstacle I play Kevin gates off top !
I get through work lisening to his music , i dont know how many times ive wanted to quit but his music just helps me get through the day,
As I pour my heart out, and tears fall down my face I just wanna say thank you to the man that gave Kevin that hug. Sometimes believe it or not all it takes is someone to talk with you. Without knowing what you’re going through or what your intentions are. Anywho I came to the restroom while at work and here I am crying my eyes out because I felt this deeply.
Sending you so much love ❤️
I’ve looked up to this artist since I heard his first track but now I look up to him as a man. It takes something most don’t have to be open about this. I’ve lived with depression my whole life and talking about it takes something. This man is a G
This is so accurate I learned from a past relationship that men need to have a safe space and they needed to be celebrated and shown their appreciated. I try my best to provide this for my husband
Can you advise how to? Just listening to this makes me think about my husband as well. I thought I was doing well but sometimes what you do is never enough and I often deal with my own depression episodes.
I really appreciate this Kevin, you are saving lives by being open and honest. I myself have the same thoughts and I feel as though this video is a sign to stay here longer. Thank you.
Please stay 🙏🏼 I love you
The world needs you, ur family needs u.... Continue ur journey thru this. It has a purpose. GodBless 🖤
Thank you everyone who made this possible.
I love him so much. I went through so many emotions watching this 10 min video.
I just started seeing Kevin's youtube shorts! About a year ago. And he has open my eyes, my mind, and got me thinking about things that are beyond my minds understanding. I'm so in love with the man's heart and mind. Thank God you still here. We need you bro.
Step back a moment and just observe how the family/friends of loved ones have to go through , the questions, the guilt feelings of not being able to help, the pain of LOSS ... You are not only taking your life senseless, but others as well.
1:17 I saw this on TikTok and I had to find this on UA-cam. I felt like God led me here because I had a lot on my mind today. I tried to express to my wife but she basically tried to use it against me. This video had me in tears. I see why us men like to have our alone time to release all the negative energy we go through. Some women understand and some don’t. As men we gotta uplift each other. We’re human, we have emotions too. I’m literally watching this with my daughter laying beside me.
Beautiful
As a man we’re not allowed to show feelings or tell people how we feel . They consider us week if we do so we hold it in until we explode and sometimes it’s too late
GodBless
@@hix9306 Thank you so much for sharing this. As a woman, it's a big deal to hear a man speak vulnerable like Kevin Gates is here and also you sharing how that resonates....
@@katayoonanoushiravani6664 yea it’s tough but luckily my wife understands me and I can open up and be me and say how I feel and she doesn’t look as week
Depression is scary it don't discriminate just try to think positive hope for best
I like this guy! He keeps it so real I have nothing but RESPECT for him!!
This was a real in depth interview, i really enjoyed it. Get tired of the fake shit, like everybody happy and everything is great. This was real and personal.
God spoke to me when I was 16 and he told me whenever you're going through a hard time, you need to talk to someone about it. The same way that guy at the gym gave Kevin Gates a few words of encouragement and it helped him change his mind. Reach out, talk to someone! Don't be afraid!
OMG OMG😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 SIR IM SO HAPPY U STILL HERE TO TESTIFY. THIS ISH BROKE MY HEART. I HOPE PEOPLE R LISTENING TO HIM.😭😭😭😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽GOD HELP US ALL🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Come back here every time …. It’s so hard, this world is so cruel. I’m trying to keep fighting 💔❤️🩹
Keep fighting.
Mental health is real serious. I'm glad Kevin was able to talk about his struggles.
Everyone who is resonating with this video is for a reason. We all see this video and feel what we feel for a reason. He speakin from the heart the whole time. So much energy
That 😢 crying hit me when he started telling the story about leaving the Gym… and a Fan of Gates respectfully discussing how His music prevented him from committing Suicide 😩😢😭😭😭😭😭😭. I couldn’t stop crying had to pray 🙏🏽 afterwards
It made me ball up. But it’s hard to let the tears fall as a man. I feel like I’m wrong.
I Come here after prayer whenever I feel like it’s over, it’s good to know I’m not alone. Don’t stop fighting ❤️🩹🙏🏽
He knows what he speaks of just keeping it real 💯
It's heavy listening to him say these things, bc that was me 2 days ago. I was ready to go! And people I hadn't talked to in a while just seemed to reach out, out of the blue. To anyone who's suffering, you really are not alone! You have people that will listen! ❤️
Our community and this country needs to do more, to advocate for Mental Health/Wellness awareness. Salute to this Brother, for sharing his story. If anyone is struggling, please, for your sake, and your loved ones sake, go seek help! Find you a psychologist, that you feel comfortable with. Interview these licensed professionals, and get yourself some help. Depression is very real.
I've been like that numerous of time.😔😢 My soul just tired, ppl think just because you smile and laughing you're happy. I've been dealt a hard hand. I've learned that "GOD DOESN'T GIVE HIS HARDEST BATTLES TO HIS TOUGHEST SOLDIERS, HE CREATES THE TOUGHEST SOLDIERS OUT OF LIFE'S HARDEST BATTLES," with that being said keep going don't give up because some people that was dealt a good hand couldn't walk a miles in mines/your shoes. Only the strongest to survive, in my Kevin Gates voice carry on🙌
So true , ppl think you good because you smile and laughing
I have a friend that committed suicided, after suffering from depression. I suffered alot from depression and its normal to have suicidal thoughts. Depression its tuff man. I felt everything this man said. I felt extremely depressed because I'm a provider myself and feeling like you failed those you care about especially once you start getting up their in age can make it even harder sometimes. I try to go to the gym and stay occupied that wjat helped me.
The way she has tears falling, genuine . Good talk Gates... Always motivating even in through your own darkness .
This interview is the first interview I’ve seen him do Where he had more positive energy and seems so happy and not sad. I am so happy for him
His music n interviews is what kept me motivated i was on my lowest n he kept me up 😢
I’m glad he’s speaks truth. Much Respect to him🙌🏾❤️
Respect for talking about this, mental health is the true pandemic.
Peace and blessings my brother. This episode touched me spiritually. Thank you for sharing 👑
“When you love what you have, you have everything you need”.
"The only thing that can make you happy is fixing what's internal."
Stop the comparisons, focus on your growth and betterment, stop focusing on negatives the anxieties and be happy (talking to myself as well)
Yesss! Thank you needed to read this for myself.
@@Quickstepz-OG what about the symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders that sent me in and out the emergency room a few times some years back, leaving me with those same acute symptoms, like shortness of breath and chest pains for example? The random heart palpitations and short breaths (along with life’s bullshit that’s already paved) get old after 20 years as well, so I feel you.
Man god love to you Kevin gates you’ve help me so much I got 4 months clean I let my girl go cause I new i have to love myself your inspiration has help me so much I listen to your motivation video on UA-cam every day ….. god and you are teaching me to walk away from toxic people and love myself and put myself first
Thank you Brother Kevin for giving your testimony about suicide & mental health!!!!💯💯💯💯💯😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your music is the real deal and your speeches has helped me. Stick around cuz we need people like you around
Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent Kevin! 🙏
Praying for YOUR peace Kevin 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Soooo many people needed this moment of transparency from THIS man.
I always loved Kevin & he just keep giving me reasons to keep going!!!
The best thing is to talk about it, let it out. There is always someone there that will listen even when you don't think there is. There is always light at the other end of the tunnel. Some people don't want to go and see a therapist but don't even think that it's a bad idea. Talk to family, friends anyone trust me they will listen. Never give up. There is too much in this world to love for, and you will hurt more people than you can ever imagine. I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all the best.
I respect this man so much he is humble and real, down to earth and speaks so much sense . 🙏♥️🌈. We need more celebrities like this .
Yeah was in that mind set … had thoughts before … loving me the best thing I can do ❤️
Fantastic interview! New found respect for Kevin 💯 A piece of life changing advice I got from a therapist… “If you can imagine a spectrum. At one end is sadness, the other end is happiness. Two extremes on opposite sides. What lies in between? Peace with yourself/life! If you can wake up everyday, acknowledging all the peace in your life, happiness won’t seem so far and you’ll stop seeking that “extreme” and just seek to go about your everyday with peace.” and nothings been the same since!
Don’t get hung up on the “extreme” feelings of sadness or happiness. It comes and goes. Seek peace in everything you do and happiness finds you. 🙏🏾💝
This made me like him more. Unfortunately it’s relatable. Glad he stuck around.
I felt it too very much my life now fighting my demons and praying and doing the work to get to the best of me yeah man u are the one realize who you are we are already smart without schooling get that no graduates some of us so we had to research which I think is the best teacher is yourself manifest your life and. 💥💥💥💥💥
@@shawnvining9851 praying your strength brother. We got to take it a minute at a time.
I lost my older brother December 11,2020 worst day of my life!!!! Felt this to the T.... dates match my timeline and all...... 🤦🏻♀️ he was the reason I ever listened to Kevin. I know he wanted me to see this... It popped right up. I know this was you brother..... I see you everywhere still🙌🏼🥰
Keep fighting. Im praying for you🙏. Jesus loves you !You are needed here and just live freely. You are loved but love starts will loving yourself and accepting yourself and your situation for what it is. Dont worry about what you dont have, or were you are supposed to be or have. Stop watching these people who are flashing before the camera because most of them are going thru something as well and putting on a front. Just take one day at a time. Take time to find out 5 things thats makes you happy ( Read the bible you can start from any part of it, watch comedy movies, find people on UA-cam who speaks positive affirmations, journal your thoughts every day, try incorporating Turmeric in your daily life its helps with depression. The foods we eat have a lot to do with the negative thoughts. I have been in your situation because you often get tired but I talk to God to give me the strength and listen to happy music and listen to sermons. I pray this bring you some type of comfort 🙏
@@shanita9884 you are amazing !!!! Thank you so much!!!! Going to take your advice!!!!!! I appreciate you so much for you’re kind words!!!! You are amazing 🥰✨❤️💕
@@bfull7646 ❤❤ Now you can witness and help the next person
Wow, I respect this dude on so many levels, I laugh thru my pain when I really am feeling so down on the inside as well. A lot of what he said I needed to hear again. Grace and Peace to Kevin Gates and everything attached to him💜
Glad your doing well, Kev! This interview gave me strength to keep on!
I cried because I know how he feels I been depressed years and Im not claiming it like he said learn to appreciate life!
This gave me the chills I’ve always been a fan of gates because of his realness
Lord knows every time I was finna end it all Kev music saved my life. Reasonable suspicion SAVED MY LIFE.
Simply wow. As Tears slowly run down my face, Ill keep it true, #KevinGates has truly helped me and for whatever reason this video showed up on my phone was fate. Perfectly placed great words to keep me moving thru a very imperfect personal situation. Thank you
I broke down Kevin gates I felt that shit like a spear in the heart
Facts, his music helped my through depression! The song, I can't be the one you love, literally transcendent my spirit to a higher place. The instrumental alone realigned my chakras because its at 900mhz!!! ❤❤
