“I’m afraid that if people know and see the truth they might think less of me. They might become bored of me,” he also admitted. The Grammy award-winning singer also added, “The truth, in current form is a 23 year old who constantly feels like he’s either flying or drowning. Maybe that’s just what it is to be in your 20’s idk, or maybe that’s just me.”
He also spoke of how “overwhelmed and overstimulated” he’s been feeling but added, “I guess im like [expletive] if i’m feeling this with all of the blessings i have i imagine there must be so many people feeling this and just don’t want them to feel alone !!”
Earlier, the singer expressed all his thoughts in a candid Instagram video that touched deeply into his current mental scape. In it, he could even be heard saying, “I just wanted to make a little video and say thank you to everybody who has been connecting with ‘It’ll Be Okay.'”

He wrote, “I’m having a little bit of a hard time with social media at the moment, just kind of my relationship with it, but I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on.I think that when I make music the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have some sort of my own truth revealed to me and a lot of the times when I’m writing songs.”
