I Found Myself | Anna Clendening

[@CarsonLovesYou12]

Anna, thankyou. You don't know how much this song, your story, and your video, have impacted my life. I have severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, a eating disorder, borderline personality disorder, and I self harm. In this past month, my life has been a flip flop between an extreme happiness to rock bottom. A week ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I also lost my counselor because she said I was getting no better so there is nothing else she could do. I have been turned down by almost every counselor in my town. They all say that my case is too big to treat. It makes me feel crazy. I have so many bad things being thrown at me at once. I have no one to talk to. No one who cares. But when I watch your videos, I get a little bit happier. Like a tiny candle light in a dark tunnel. Any light is better than none, and you have no idea how many times that tiny light has kept me alive. Like I said before, Anna, thankyou so much.

[@annas4641]

Thank you for posting this comment. I now know someone out there understands and is going through what I'm going through.

[@CarsonLovesYou12]

No problem, I'm so glad my one comment could help anyone at all. If you ever need anyone to talk to, comment on this and ill find somehow to talk to you if you are down or need help.

[@cameronofficial9692]

This was so sad to even just think of what your going through every day .I may not know you but I can connect in some of your examples .

[@chloewightman1850]

I have been through so much. It all started in year 3. People started disliking me and I got death and harm threats. I have had depression for 5 years now. I never knew what to do. I had one friend who went through the same as me. I got rejected by almost everyone. I went to the school councillor. They did nothing. They told me to get over it. How? I don't understand how they can just say to get over it. Thank you so much for this comment. It really brought light into my eyes that I wasn't the only one. You're a beautiful person. Never forget that x

[@sarahthomas5586]

Please stay strong, you are strong and you will make it.

For those of you who need the lyrics, here they are :) ************************* I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me My heart was beating, barely breathing but still alive Lost along the way I'd given up my fight Scattered to pieces all along the floor, within the brokenness I found something more I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me I was broken, torn apart Scars line my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart They remind me of what is real No longer needing pain to feel I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself,on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

Hey..You..Yes You :) Just few moments here please. I just want to tell you that you are really special. Your life is really special. You are beautiful. Yes you are. And do you know a secrete about yourself?You look more beautiful when you smile. :) Just close your eyes,take a deep breathe and you will realize how much you matter to your family,to your friends,to me and most importantly "to yourself" Things may not seem right right now but trust me you are given this challenge to prove yourself how strong you are .You don't have to get stronger to fight this situation .All you need is to realize how strong you already are. You are not alone. "We"are not alone. :)

Lyrics- found myself In a sea of busy places, in a world on blurry faces I found myself On the edge of insanity I found, I found me My heart was beating, barley breathing but still alive Lost along the way, I've given up my fight Scattered to pieces, all along the floor Within the brokenness I found something more I found myself In a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces I found myself On the edge of insanity I found, I found me I was broken, torn apart Scars lined my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart They remind me what if real No longer needing pain to feel I found myself In a sea on busy places, in a world on blurry faces I found myself On the edge of insanity I found, I found me (3x)

[@augustrain4292]

thanks

anna clendening is the most stunning singer i have ever heard

[@let716]

i heart you. you have the time to do this and you know ppl need lyrics 😊

[@avadevenport2036]

What a babe

[@morganneu2039]

I found myself in pit of depression and anxiety... I had multiple anxiety attacks and I couldn't control it.. all my friends tried everything to make me happy but it didn't work....... now that I started to draw and listen to music that is depressing and sad I can control my anxiety and all of my emotions..... all of my friends are happy that I started to express myself and tell them how I felt and why I didn't talk at all.... when I lost my dog due to cancer I cried alot... I had an anxiety attack and just broke down and stayed in my room the entire day... no one could help me but Anna and her music

[@rosexfletcher]

"No longer needing pain to feel" always hits me different. I know that feeling of harming yourself because you want to feel something.

[@paulstewart7010]

I healed and found the best parts of myself and before I had a chance to enjoy it my world was turned upside down. Feels soon as I build myself back when the smallest bit I am torn apart again. Just holding onto faith in love, FAMILY and unity. Every story can be rewritten and blue prints can be changed for what is the best for what is called all. Scary places alone and afraid but still keeping faith that love for all people, things and life gets the book written where it continues and isn't torn apart by a broken print shop before anyone has a chance to read it. We, visions are nothing without mistakes behind us to help us see things we never new existed. I love my future dreams and chains vision for our upcoming generations

[@mynameistopcat]

This is a beautifully written piece. I turn 45 this year... I lost myself when I was a teen.. it was not until recently I found myself. It is easy to get lost with the urge to fit in and be accepted by the ones around you. It took a great faith in my new wife, my children, and God above to realize that it is ok to just be me... We all make mistakes, we all can get caught up in the evitable race for financial success, to have the fashions, looks, etc as everyone else... but when your heart is screaming that this is not you... well... its time to look in the mirror and within your soul and truly find out who you really are. Some will criticize you..some may praise you... it can be a lonely and frightening journey but as time passes... and you find your self, and you are true to yourself and passions...well it is worth the trip. It took me the past 8 years to find myself, and amazing how much my life has truly changed for the better. Good luck in your journey... and for the individuals that have commented that suffer from emotional pains such as PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, etc.... Recognition and acceptance is the first major step. Have faith and in the darkest of hours remember...no matter how bleak and lonely you may feel... there is always someone that loves you...you may not see or feel it...but someone cares.Peace.

[@kaylalovesdoggies]

read that description. "No matter what your struggle is, you can come out of it and find yourself, and become stronger." what a great woman + inspiration.

[@kareena3852]

Hey guys I know this sounds cheesy, but one day, someone is gonna hug you so hard, all your broken pieces will fit together.. I hope you find that person soon.. ♥️♥️

[@bandersnatchairsoft6642]

I might seem so sad for saying this but I saw this comment and then had to look back through and find it again after I listened to this song a few times. I hope I do find that person someday!

[@dakota._.8364]

But you fall apart all over again when they walk away and aren’t holding you together anymore...

[@paulharvey6671]

That person starts with yourself. Give yourself a hug! Like you mean it ;}

[@haileywaggoner6830]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@blinkmoon1618]

I just got my heart broken 😭

[@newgeneration225]

me and my band is practicing this song and during practice i started crying because i realized that i wasnt alone in this fight, and others were fighting it with me. thank you for keeping us positive. thank you for never giving up

[@11livelaughluv]

I just wanted to say, you are a huge inspiration to me. I've struggled with depression and social anxiety and you have really helped me to realize there is a way out. Thank you for what you're doing. I know there are many others out there who you have impacted positively.

[@melina1660]

I hope you are doing even better now,5 years later

[@sarahshumway7902]

I found myself... Broken Alone Crazy I'm done I'm tired of laying here every night after a big act of pretending to be happy I just took off my mask of happiness I try to help other people when I can't even help me I miss being happy I miss Family Fighting over crayons Going to bed happy Where the only nightmares were in dreams I'm always told that I'm stupid worthless a joke but words hurt....

[@danatang5283]

I know that we don't know each other but I'm here for you, no one deserves to feel that way! Don't even believe those negative things! The only thing that really matters is what you think of yourself :) again if you even need anyone I'm here if you need to talk.

[@alexispryor9997]

I swear, its like you just described my life right now. Everything thats going on with me, you said perfectly. To think we don't even know each other, yet we have the same situation.

[@akanshamary4461]

Sarah Shumway Please don't listen to them

[@beeandme7446]

Can I pray for you? I feel the same way...

[@thebusybee7080]

Dear God, what a beautiful woman you are, what a beautiful voice you have, what a gift you have been born with - not just your song - but the strength you have inside you. What an inspiration you are to kids and adults who are struggling with issues of selfhood! It is so important what you did - getting up on that stage.

[@trumanhunter9705]

I never leave comments on videos, but this one I had to. There is such beauty in your words and it led me to such deep introspective thinking. So many people in this world feel lost and directionless. So many fear the consequences of being themselves. So many don't know who they are. For so long I felt unimportant because of self criticism, but by and by I learned my value. I know who I am and I'm proud of the person I've become. "I've found myself" Never doubt your value, never doubt how precious you are. Find yourself and be who you were meant to be.

[@grootface1013]

true

[@ameliahope8687]

I'm going to cry. thank you

[@lillyyellow4027]

I have atypical depression, PTSD, and anxiety. I took a year off from college 2 years ago. I was at my 3rd college and I had to drop out mid-semester because I could not do it. I'm at home. I have only one chance of a medication that could possibly help me. It's absolutely terrifying. Coming off of all my other meds to do this MAOI is painful and makes my body shake (naturally, I'm going almost completely drugless for the first time in 5 years.) I have to be drug free for 2 weeks before I can even start the new medication. I have attacks daily. I can't sleep straight through the night. My nightmares have returned. And I can hardly leave my house. I'm an artist too, but I feel no desire to even do that. I'm just in bed or on a couch 24/7 and it is horrible. I am glad that you found your voice. I found mine too (I'm a rape and abuse advocate and suing a college). But my brain won't allow me to function. Not "properly" anyway. And it's hard. I just love finding other people who suffer similarly to me and can still accomplish something, like you.

[@dvdprodave54]

I hope you found your best solution! If you're there, let us know you're okay. I don't know you but I care...

[@stephaniedewhirst9555]

Lilly Yellow I feel like I wrote that entire description. Here If you ever need to talk

[@Souless-Monster]

This is out of pure curiosity but how are you at the time you read this?

[@deannaoliver8619]

I have to say a few years ago I was so lost my baby sister and her husband witch was my two favorite people passed away in the same day and I was so lost I couldn't feel anything I had broke down and was falling apart and came across this video and your voice brought me to a stop and made me pull myself together and feel what I needed to this song is amazing and so are you thank you for putting your self out there. And pulling me thought the hardest time of my life. Today I still lesson to this when I feel overwhelmed with life right now my 12 year old daughter is facing surgery on her spin

[@HolleeChantelle]

I understand this so well as I too suffer a severe Anxiety and depressive disorder and was a self harder so this song really speaks to me. Beautiful, got goosebumps "I was broken, torn apart. Scars line my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart. They remind me of what is real. No longer needing pain to feel. I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces. I found myself from the edge of insanity, I found, I found me."

[@katiemartin7904]

Anna Clendening - Music is the only thing that's been making me even want to get out of bed. It's the only thing apart from my assistance puppy harley that gets me through. I saw your audition for AGT & it was amazing. I have been in a very bad place & I suffer badly with/ am riddled by Anxiety, Postnatal Depression & PTSD from having my baby girl stillborn last year in September. I just wanted to say I was literally about to give up again but for good the other day. Then I heard your story. I also sing & hearing not only your story but your voice... Made me cry & fall in a heap on the floor because you made me realise how much I actually want to stay. Even though I felt like I didn't. I just wanted to disappear before. Thank you for your voice. Your story. All your music. I dropped the razor & ambulance attended me. Still a long road but I'm still here. Merry Christmas & Thank you xx

[@lionluv1996]

if you dislike this there is something wrong with you!! i understand exactly what she is going thru. i too have anxiety and depression and a lot of the time it gets the best of you but you can let it control your life!! anna means a lot to me!!

[@francescabaglio3396]

I know you probably get this a lot from fans but you're voice saved me when I was in a dark period of time because I felt unloved and ugly and also worthless but when I saw you sing for the first time it helped me so thank you so much for being yourself I love you ❤️❤️❤️🎹🎸🎻🎷🎺🎵🎶🎼🎧🎤☺️😂

[@spacefanalienrobot9567]

This song reminds me of my sister. She left and moved away with her husband because she felt like it was the only way to get away from my mom. I wish I could show her this song. :) It's a beautiful song Anna.

[@cowdy293]

When i get so down and sad,.. I tend to come running to this song, speaks to my heart and says how I feel; Sadly, i havent found myself, i feel lost and i dont know who i am anymore, Lost so much in life, failed relationship, failed in my career due to health issues, i wish i could find myself and feel im " worth something " ...worth something to someone. Right now, i feel so much depression, like im surfacing to edge of the surface of the water to get a breath; and im barely alive and hanging on....

[@ahtziryrose4336]

the thing is that on the internet almost everyone i talk to seems to be so nice and positive and non-judgemental, and i feel like "wow the world is changing" but then i go to school or somewhere where a lot of people are and they're just not the same there. and then i remember that this is the "real world" and it's not all what we hoped it'd be or wish it was

[@emilyruss8606]

Dear Anna, I first found this song a couple months ago, and have been listening to it non-stop since then. I found myself listening to this song when times got hard, and I felt like a nothing. This song got me out of my bad place, and helped me to see the stars among the night sky. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for five years now, and it was getting worse. But then I found your EP, and it changed my life (figuratively and literally). I was self-harming for the longest time, because I thought it was the only way to cope. But after this song, along with "To My Parents" and your cover of "Who You Are", I found that music can help me get away from all the negative things, and start to get me to see the positive side of life. I was in such a dark place at one point, that I was suicidal. My note was written, and signed. I was ready. But, believe it or not, you changed my mind... Your music showed me that not everything in life is meant to tear you down, but to sometimes help build you back up; to mold you into a better version of yourself. So thank you for writing music, and thank you for sharing your stories with all of us. Most of all, thank you for not being afraid to be yourself. You are enough. You are beautiful. You are talented. You are a gift from God. Keep singing, keep being a goofball, just keep loving life. Much love from Wisconsin, Emily

[@emilyruss8606]

Thank you so much Fennekin Fox! Means a lot to me to hear you say that.

[@yoohoonobody469]

Emily Russ Please never take your own life. It has been said before that a soul is worth 10,000 worlds. If you think on that for a bit, it can be hard to wrap your mind around. Think of all the wealth and gold and silver and money in this world, but yet your soul is worth all that times ten thousand! Trust Jesus Christ! Many do not think he is real. But I have had personal experience, and He IS real and loves you very much! Be who you are, don't live a reactive life just reacting to what others may think or say about you. Live a proactive life! Once you find truth, hang on to it. Stand for what is right(Christ), and let the rest of the world go by, because it will not be long before it will be destroyed. And if you are in Christ, you will still be! May Jesus Christ help you and all of us who need Him daily!

[@LAtetotheparty7211]

As someone with depression, anxiety, and probably C-PTSD, your music is my coping device. Thank you so much, Anna.

[@OhShitItsMarianna]

As someone fighting your same battle, I thank you deeply. I have decided to stop taking the anxiety and depression pills and find more "natural" ways to cope, live and love myself again... this battle will get worse before it gets better, but people like you, bring hope.

[@craighaarhoff4157]

This is probably the best song I have heard in a long time. It drives home all the feelings I have felt over the past few months.

[@othluver7]

This song explains my whole life thanks so much Anna!! I also have generalized anxiety, depression. I was born also with a physical disability cerebral palsy. I totally accept my CP..I can do ANYTHING! This past year in August I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder for my years I've be having meltdown episodes for a longtime but lately it's been going downhill, I feel nervous, depressed, tired all the time and just really down.. I really want to just be like every 25 yr old..I feel stuck in my world..I take meds all the time... My lifesaver thou is Music, it makes me feel alive calmer!!! My biggest supporter throughout my entire life is my mom, she is the greatest.. Soon I will get over this hill and be happier.. I just wanted to say I know exactly what you are going though!!! Mental illness is very tricky many people judge..together though we are the stronger ones!! This song is so beautiful and true! Your so beautiful Anna! 😊 stay strong!

[@pokamo45]

im using this for my contemporary dance solo next year because i completley relate to this song 100%. dance was how i coped with my depression so i 'found myself' through dance.

[@kittymin1]

I love you, Anna. Because of your struggles you are sharing with us and you aren't afraid to do it. That is why you struggled, so you could find yourself to help others. You share my mom's name, also. God bless you.

[@erikguerrero5975]

Damn, you ever just stumble across a song that helps you out on a tough day? I don’t know who this girl is, but this was much needed! This song is beautiful! Thank you for putting this out for the world to hear!

Don't give up, I know what it is like to deal with health issues for years and know how very hard it is. Keep giving your beautiful voice to those who are trying to hang on too. It is important to you and to them. Thanks so very much, prayers and good wishes for your continued success.

You are truly an amazing artist and just person in general. You have a very inspiring message and I just have no words for how much you have inspired me. I can't even tell you how many times your music has turned a frown to a smile. Thank you for letting me see that I can just be myself, speak for myself, not worry about how I look! I just wanted to say thank you for being who you are. Keep doing what you do and you will inspire so many other people!

[@ArcaneInsignia13]

I like how this seemed to fit your vocal style a little better than some of the songs you covered on AGT. You've always been an amazing singer, but it sounds even better when you find your niche.

[@SimplyMusicJB4]

completely agree. she sounds stronger and right on key so amazing

[@UNCGurl15]

That's because AGT chose what she had to sing, what she had to wear ......etc.....

[@UNCGurl15]

***** WRONG!!!

[@Amanda-ls5pf]

Idk if you'll ever see this, but I just wanted to tell you how much this song means to me. About 9 years ago I had left a relationship that I was sure would be for a lifetime. He unfortunately had his demons and I wasn't the right person for him at that time in our lives. I went through a deep depression for quite sometime. Found this song and it described my feelings so incredibly well that I listened to it honestly probably too many times to even begin to count. I eventually fell in love with someone else, started a family and now a few years later he wants a divorce. (No saving it, I've given it my all and then some) You can't force someone to love you though. So here I am on tiktok and found your new song. Weirdly enough it describes my feelings again and I'm freaking out at how coincidental this all is. I kind of always believed that the universe will give you signs but you need to open your heart to allow those signs to get through to you. As soon as I found you on tiktok I immediately remembered your voice and went looking on KZbin for this video. So crazy how the world works sometimes. I just wanted you to know how your music resonates with me to my very core. You are helping me and you don't even know me. Music is a beauty.

[@KelseyKraemer]

You are one of my favorite artists! I love your music

[@skyeskye3218]

I always loved this song because I had a hard back story , I'm a cancer survivor and maybe for some people it's not anything but a sickness I suffered with being embarrassed of having it because all the looks and the generation we live in now this song made me feel who I really am come back . I lost myself after a year long torture at a new school a very domesticated relationship.... 😕 sometimes you just can't trust anyone I trusted him and he told everyone my cancer story was fake that is when I lost myself ..... 🙁 I didn't know what to do because everyone teased me about lying about it but I had scars to prove I did I had so many news stories about me .... that year broke me so thank you so much for sharing this song . Keep getting stronger !

[@SimplyMusicJB4]

I was sad when the video was done and immediately replayed bc it's so perfect. I have tears in my eyes you're amazing.

[@kristnicholson3401]

Anna I still love this song and when I'm feeling down and lonely like I am right now. I find this song on youtube and just watch you play it. I love it so much and it means alot to me. I hope you still love doing music and have found your happiness. I wish I could find mine. 12 years single, 12 years suffering from depression and anxiety. This lockdown isnt helping me at all. I might be visiting your music more in the next couple of days. love you Anna x x

Why her voice is drops of gold, and her songs so peaceful and beautiful. She should keep up with her talents.

[@ashiwick]

My heart was beating, barely breathing but still alive. Lost along the way I’d given up my fight. Scattered to pieces all along the floor, within the brokenness I found something more. *I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces.* *I found myself from the edge of insanity, I found, I found me.* I was broken, torn apart. Scars line my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart. They remind me of what is real. No longer needing pain to feel.

[@keidentroy4669]

Anna , you were blessed with a beautiful voice...now the world is blessed because you chose to share your voice with us. Thank you

[@jasmineparra614]

I love this song 💕 it makes me cry every time. I feel like I feel your pain. And wish I could have someone like you to talk to . Good luck in everything you do !!

[@kgv10]

Anna I just want to say that the moment you walked on to the AGT stage you became my hero. For class we're writing about our hero's. and I chose you. I know going in front of the class presenting this will be nearly impossible for me and usually I'd talk to my teacher to get out of it but because you managed to get in front of millions of people I will get in front of my class and present it. This is gonna be really hard because ill be talking about my anxiety and depression. No one knows I suffer from it. Only my parents therapists and a few teachers not even my friend knows but because of you I will do it. Even if I'm crying throughout the entire presentation.

[@annas4641]

I want to tell you how amazing and brave you are for doing it. There is most likely someone who can relate to you. Team internet is on your side. Because of you, others might understand what it is like for you and me everyday. Rock that presntation.

[@adm1557]

I've been struggling with my anxiety lately and I stumbled across your music and it's already starting to help me get back on the road to recovery and coping with the illness. I love what you stand for, you remind me of Demi lavato and the message behind her music, not similar stories but similar courage, I hope I will have the courage you have one day. Thank you.

[@Caitfaye3353]

Anna can we please get this song on other platforms?? I absolutely LOVE it. It is such a powerful and inspiring song 🫶🏼

[@gracecurrie8349]

Anna, your story is so inspiring. And your voice is amazing. When I watched your AGT audition, I was shocked to find that you grew up only a little ways from where I live! You have inspired me to go after my dreams and find myself (because I still don't know who that is yet). Thank you so much for simply being who you are.

[@malirimarsh7005]

I wish I could find myself and who I am and what people to hang with its hard 😪

[@sarahdemasi4385]

Thank you very much: this song really touches me. Music gives harmony to broken and chaotic souls.

[@emileecoffin4116]

I seriously listen to this every morning when I wake up and every night before I fall asleep. And usually a few times in between. Thank you Anna so much.

[@emmataylor2878]

[@liam8346]

[@emilybrock4700]

I love her songs there so graceful

[@rhiannalouise6190]

Hi Anna your music has helped me to realise I don't have to be locked up in my room. I should go out more and see the world instead of being in my room crying. I have anxiety and depression. Your music had inspired me. I feel more alive than before. I listen to your music all the time whenever I feel down all I have to do is listen to your music and feel positive. Thank you x

[@AThingThatsWild]

Im not in o this kind of music, like at all. But youre voice... wow... It really speaks to me, literally overhelmed with emotions right here... Just wow. Keep on doing what you do, because youre great!

[@courtoisdavid7106]

Hello Anna ! Anna (or who ever who have a dream but doesn't dare to realise it), please read what's here under even if it is a bit long. It worth it, I think. What a wonderful song, Anna ! Each time I listen to it, it touch me deap inside my heart, me, who is 46 years old, and never had the courage to do what you did : to find myself by becoming a singer and a musician. When I was 17, my parents told me it was not a reliable way of life and they told me too I had not a nice voice. Stupidly, I believed them and lost my selfconfidence in my will to become a singer. But quite 30 years after, this same will had never left me, singing is still my passion, and I realized several things : - first, I will never be happy in any other job, as the onlyone I really want to do is to be a singer; - second, it was only my parent's opinion that to be a singer is not a reliable way of life and that I had not a nice voice, 'cause lots of other people listening to me in public karaokes were enchanted by my voice and applaused to my prestations. One of them even asked me one day : "Are you a professionnal singer or what ?" I answerd "No, why ?" and she answered me "Because you sing really, really well !". Now, I'm even asked to come as special guest in hollidays camping karaoke parties to start and animate the party. - third, a voice is something which needs to be worked to improve itself and make it be at its best level. Some people has a nice voice since the begining, but many others needs to work their voice hard before to have a nice one. I was in that case. - And forth, when you really want something, when it is deeply writen in your heart, and if you have the courage to work hard to it, you always can reach it if you believe in yourself. But one must not procrastinate one's will again and again, 'cause we are not young for ever, and one day, it is too late. And you feel very sad when you realise you are too old to begin the carriere you always wanted to do.... So let me congratulate you, Anna ! 'Cause even if you went through very hard times in a poor state of mind, you had the courage and the great chance to realise what you are made for at a young enough age to be able to do your life in this activity. And you can't realise enough what a great chance it is ! So please have fun to be a singer, a composer and an author, and a good one, and enjoy it twice more for all of us who didn't had that chance or didn't had the courage and weren't perceptive enough to realise their dream soon enough. We love you Anna, you are a great person ! And to every one who read this, who dream to be a singer or whatever else, please take the lesson of it, and start now to believe in your dream, to fight for it and to start it NOW ! Don't procrastinate, don't listen to those who try to put you off it, 'cause much sooner than you think, it will be too late. If it's deeply writen in your heart, do it NOW ! Listen to your heart, not only to your mind, your fears and other's opinions. And use your mind to serve your heart, not the contrary. Live your life !

[@kylewood8556]

It's funny how a song like anaconda can get so many views and likes and a beautiful song like this doesn't Anna one of the best singers I've ever herd she is perfect and I don't see how anyone could dislike this video. Keep it up Anna ur music is great

[@annaklotz6497]

+Anna Clendening this brought me to tears, I have been dealing anxiety/depression since I was 16 (now 24) and was just also recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and at first I felt like my life was over and when I heard this song it just gave me hope to push on. thank you

[@unwantedscars984]

I'm reading the comments just to see I'm not alone. All this time I thought I was alone, but I guess I'm not.

[@annette1544]

I have just discovered Anna and I fell in love with her voice right away absolutely love her and I didn't know her story when I did or that she was on Americas got talent. She always makes her voice have so much passion and emotion such an amazing blessed singer.
