I know this will just be a random comment on this video, but I just wanted to put it out there. This era of mike Posner saved me, as cheesy as that sounds.. I was addicted to drugs living in shelters and peoples houses who I would pay in drugs , I was listening to mike on shuffle one night , and this song came on then live before I die , and I burst into an uncontrollable panic that I was wasting my life , for the next 4 years I have hustled my way up to running a business and helping others with recovery. Last month marked my 3.5 half years sober , and I still attribute all my positive changes to these songs.

[@XxxX-jo1hv]

Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me Being young was getting so old Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set And I seemed to be given no role But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 18 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are Life is not always a comfortable ride Everybody's got scars that they hide And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah Just be as you are" They played me on the radio And everything was changing, so I thought I was all the way grown But I can still remember in that cold November When I realized I'm all alone But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 22 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are (Just be as you are)" Be as you are (Whoa) Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are If I'm speaking truthfully I'm not who I used to be And I know some people might laugh 'Cause my music doesn't sound the same And my head's no longer shaved I'm worried if I'm on the right path But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 26 I spoke to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are (Be as you are)" Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are Be as you are

[@rauanadikey6945]

This beautiful music video of Mike Posner really carries a huge message for folks all around the world. Many young people nowadays suffer from mental health issues such as depression, comparing themselves to others, low self-esteem, needless desire to be seen and noted. And all of these problems come from social networks as they want us to be perfect, post only our good photos and always compare our life with others. So, we lose our true selves and become vulnerable. As Mike says us, let's be who we really are. Let's quit Instagram, Facebook or whatever you use to spend your precious time on trying to be someone else. Instead, let's find ourselves, live a full life and be happy! For the past 2 years, I quitted Facebook and VK, and about a month I don't use Instagram. And you know what? I am really grateful for myself to this decision and more than ever satisfied with myself. I can now focus not on someone's life but my own and things that matter to me. I spend my free time on sports and to my family which I wouldn't probably do when I'm just surfing the internet. So, guys, I really hope we can avoid the stress that we face every day by the social network and be ourselves. Happy to share my experience and idea with you, and thanks for Mike for such a great message!

[@larikuparnongkynrih5]

17,18 was really hard for me, being in a toxic relationship (my fault) and was always so broke ,Had no vision and I dropped my studies ,felt suicidal and depressed . what I learned from those years is that we shouldn't be taking life too seriously and shouldn't be too hard on yourself and know that everything will be okay 😄..For those that are struggling or suffering,never lose hope and keep going ,and surround yourself with people that pushes you and gives you positivity ..God bless you all..❤️

[@OutdoorGuru92]

How?? Seriously how?? This song came out in 2015 and only one million views? The best decision I ever made was slowing down, building up my self worth and truly understanding happiness/appreciation for everything in life. I’m not successful yet, but even in failure Im happier than most around me. Its a really sad time to see so many people who are prisoners of todays society, not understanding whats causing them to feel worthless. Pushing your mind to think more positive every day, putting yourself in other peoples shoes when all you can think about are your own issues, and going to sleep truly thankful for everything you were blessed with that day will change your life. Its like going to the gym for your brain/soul. But people only care about instant or visual results in todays world (money, cars, muscles, followers). All thats good, but without the right mindset, its worthless.

“You don’t always have to speak so loud”

[@peterpulpitpounder]

Just watched Mike Posner on TV this morning. He's walking across the United States. He closed his eyes and then opened them, stating, "This is all there is." He was speaking of life. Well, this is clearly Mike's greatest problem, the lack of a relationship with the true and living God, and, like so many, thinking the grave is the end of human existence, etc. It's not. There is a God. There is a judgment to face after life. Mike's music reflects the fact that he is just another clay pot living in denial of the Potter who made him. I hope he changes his tune at some point and starts singing for the God who put the very breath upon his lips. The essence of life is not "just being who you are", but being all God wants you to be. It's the Potter who defines the clay pot and gives it its meaning.
