Such rare quality in a younger people. It's so appreciated, beautiful and worthy of our acknowledgment hat H.E.R doesn't just have talent but gifted. Thanks for sharing your musical world with us. ❤️
Hi y'all. if you're not okay I got u, take time for you right now, it's ok to cry, it's ok to feel weak, to be sad. But please don't give up. You're strong, you're a beautiful human being and you're here for a reason. I love you and you're going to make it. One day you'll be okay I swear. Just stay strong and keep walking, one step after another you'll go threw the darkness, depression, anxiety, mourning or anything you're going threw right now. You are strong. You are good. You can achieve it. One day somebody told me: "Look how far a car can go by night just with 2 meters of light ahead." You don't need to see far to go far, even if you think you won't never be able to move on, I swear you will. Just don't give up. Love
Hey ladies and gentlemen👋 Just a message to all with partners. If you constantly have anxiety about your partner cheating and always fight yourself on whether they are good for you or not then 9 times out of 10 they're bad for you, not good. And especially if you can't be yourself around this person. That's not real love.
@@nicolec825 You just have to be strong and confident. Know your worth. There's a lot of guys who will tear all of that down but you have to be strong minded and always trust your gut.
@@nicolec825 I'm telling you. You may be thinking about all the bad signs but then switch back to the good. If you can't choose which one it is, then let go.
She's talking about God it's crazy how people don't see it hear what she's saying she's losing herself and she feels her relationship with God slipping away. I feel this in my soul
Yah Dula well u better get it right before he comes. He’s coming for a church without spot wrinkle or blemish. He ain’t going to wait up for u... or me or anyone. So we gotta get it right, everyday he grants us mercy to wake us up is anthr day to read the bible, pray get to know him more. Don’t waste that time :)
This song is about her admitting to her feelings of uneasiness and discomfort about her relationship. In the live performances of this song on the ”I Used to Know Her” tour, H.E.R. explains how this generation likes to hide their true feelings and pretend like everything is fine. She wants the listeners to know “it’s okay not to be okay”.
I appreciate H.E.R. music because it has authentic substance and that's what got my attention. It's not even about hits, it's about she's giving us music✌❤
@@kimberlylauryn2773 it seem like everyone else just making song's but I like the way she gives honest perspective that's relatable to everyone. I believe that she will be around as long as she chooses to be✌
She's setting the tone for ppl to keep it 💯 unapologetically. It's okay to not be okay which is the first step in getting better. People need to be unafraid and forthcoming to receive help instead of shouldering the weight of things by themselves. Many wifey in silence however There's a lot of support in sharing with people that are worthy and care for you. This is a great song to teach great lessons 👍 kudos! ❤
Nicosha Greer This song is a whole mood. I love it when you can finally admit you’re not ok. Going through things on your own is hard and it messes up your mental to the point where you don’t want to deal with people anymore. That is where I’m at, I’m not ok but I’m ok with myself being unapologetically honest and true.
Nicosha Greer For real!!!!! Prayer works, we also have to find our balance between ourselves and others. Know when to say no and when to choose ourselves in a world full of choices.
[Verse 1] Sick to my stomach Four in the morning, I can't sleep In another city I'm worried 'bout where you may be Feels like I've been here Stressing the things that I can see Where do you go? What do you do? Without we, without me [Chorus] I'm not OK, I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith Slipping away, you're slipping away I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK [Verse 2] Feel a little guilty, uh I feel like it's written all over me Tryna find a balance, trusting you, trusting me Feel a little heavy Holdin' onto something that I don't need I've been going through it, yeah I've been going through it [Chorus] I'm not OK, I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith Slipping away, you're slipping away I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK [Bridge] All I want (all I want) Take me home Hold me close (yeah) Please don't let me go I don't know, I don't know Can you call from wherever you are? Swear I feel (yeah) Hold me tight, hold me tight Makes me cry She run so far, here we are, here we are [Chorus] I'm not OK, I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith Slipping away, you're slipping away I'm not OK, no I'm not OK I'm not OK
I'm a man and I can say this song hits deep I get emotional cry everytime I hear it. I can't even help it , just brings so many thoughts and memories and current feelings out. Wishing I had a real support system or friends. Y'all pray for a brother
Lol I got confused b/c I didn't remember commenting b/c we have the same name.......then realised we have a different photo. Anyway Hi Hope You Feel Better!!!
I’ve been going through mental breakdowns lately my life hasn’t been the best! Many people that are blood have turned their backs towards me. The only person I have is my wife. Money is NOT EVERYTHING ladies and gents it does NOT buy you happiness!!! thank you for this song it speaks when I can’t. It’s the kind of pain where you drive off and rethink your entity of life. Cry in silence. Cry when nobody is looking. Literally slipping away and loosing faith. You know the kind of laugh that’s full of Guilt when I’ve cried all damn day. Heavy burden. Hurts my chest. I’ve been going through it all and I’m not okay at all. Thank you for this song,words & the voice.
I, too am lost. Your words resonate with me, bring me to tears. I hope like you for the light at the end of the tunnel and do know it is all of Gods plan, somedays are just hard!! I will stay strong so you have to, too!
Why do you hold on to something you don't need? Sounds like self inflicted pain...what happened to happy music..up lifting...I like this groove and smoothness,,but....Im old school...back when things and music was happy,,some sad..but not dark...Love yourself more then ANYONE..EXCEPT GOD...dont give people the power over you to hurt and control your emotions,,, GO STRONG...
Girl!💯 😂 show me the lie...I'll wait! RIGHT! Ain't no playin she stays dropping HEAT like a MF ALL H.E.R. tracks B flames 🔥🔥🔥 She's so DOPE 🙌& sidebar...her hair tho 👌👌👌💅👑 Poor SZA dun list her voice & well....H.E.R. will continue to reign for now 🤷🏽🎶😍
This song is a whole mood 😩🥰💕. I love it when you can finally admit you’re not ok. Going through things on your own is hard. It messes up your mental to the point where you don’t want to deal with people anymore. That is where I’m at, I’m not ok but I’m ok with myself being unapologetically honest and true.
This really helps when you need to just admit how you feel and stop being unrealistic abt it we’re human . I don’t understand why we follow the trend of not showing what you feel tht doesn’t make you weak it makes you real pain is real ,tears are real it’s not something to hide a lot of people push you towards tht and thts not healthy
This was me almost 2 years ago. Things do get better. Surround yourself with people who truly love you and if not...this may be a journey you have to do alone which is what I had to do...alot of hard work but you'll see how strong you truly are, how special you truly are...God be with you all who are struggling with depression , sadness and abuse. 😇 up 💖💖
Man I remember going through some really rough times in the last 10 years in my life especially battling with depression and anxiety and so much life things. I'm so thankful I never discovered this song during that time, because I woulda been one basket case 😂. But no seriously this song helps me reflect on those times, and I'm thankful to God at age 23, because it's a reminder that I made it to the light at the end of that tunnel and it truly serves a reminder God is good. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's ok to not be ok, and don't be afraid to talk to your family and friends whenever you going through something. Just remember at the end of the day, God put you here for a reason. This ain't the time to give up, this the time to keep going. Keep your heads up. LOVE IS LOVE 🫶🏾
She's talking about losing herself and feeling her relationship with God slipping away the voices in your head are trying to save you acknowledge the Lord and he shall direct your path
Yah Dula you should be careful w/ speaking for ppl. It’s a huge misconception and bad habit in the bad community thinking it’s God speaking. mental illness is a very serious thing what ahnya is saying could mean diff things.....nothing wrong seeking God Bt folks also cave going through diff experiences and that is OKAY to acknowledge and then seek help 😉
@@Cassykakes you're absolutely right I was caught up in the message of the song. Thank you for the advice and correction! I greatly appreciate it! God bless you beautiful soul
Crazy how music speaks to your situation and your soul...And then you read the comments and realize that you are not alone. Love and healing to us all! Thank you H.E.R and the writers for getting me through it with your work....and sharing your soul with us.
I cry soon as she starts 🤦🏽♀️ this song hits me like no other I can’t even describe the feeling I feel that goes threw me can’t even let this song play the whole time out I swear 😔
I felt this song so deeply trying to get over someone. So emotionally attached, feeling hopeless but still continued pushing as he kept pulling away. Weeks went by with no contact and I felt like I couldn’t take it. I felt like I couldn’t live without him and I felt so empty. But still I took it day by day. Some days I felt okay others I sat and cried. But that’s all apart of healing. It takes time but I eventually got there. And I am still healing. I still feel sad sometimes but I also feel free. I feel more confident. I finally feel like I can live without him. And I realized it’s not healthy to be emotionally attached to people. People come and go as they please so it’s important to love yourself and let people be free if they choose to be. Work on loving yourself and becoming the person you need to be for YOU. Not only is that good for your health but that also attracts healthy people in your life. It will take time but it is possible. Take it from me.! I did it and before I felt like I couldn’t even breathe without this person.
I’m 3 months into trying to learn to live without her. Some days my best days are the ones I’m in denial the most. I’ve tossed out pride & begged for a second chance. I’ve hurt others by offering myself into a new relationship waaaay before I was ready. I realize there is a remedy to this heart break but I fight the only real solution to my problem: TIME. Your words from a year ago helps me now. I’ll screenshot them and refer to them tomorrow. And tomorrow’s tomorrow. You give me hope. For that I say thanks…😔
I dont think people understood the meaning of this song. She didn't trust him, she was always worried about what he was doing or where he was at when overall, he was probably working or doing something not harmful to the relationship. That sh** can be overwhelming to any man that is innocent but being accused of something. She's saying she isn't ok because she is mentally compromised and her actions is making him pull away from her. I'm in a relationship like that right now and I HAVE pulled away and can no longer see myself with her but I feel bad for her because I know she cares for me.
I only let ONE person in my life make me feel away. I was sick and didn't eat for like 3 days. I won't say I will never love that hard again. But I doubt it. It took a lot out of me.
H.E.R is the best in the game right now, that is including your favourite! At this point she is level with Sade, Beyonce, Alicia Keys in terms of quality of music, uniqueness in sound and her pure hearted approach. And that is a fact! I just hope her team continues the excellent job they are doing and hopefully maintain this momentum.
Heard this live. I've seen a lot of artists in concert but nothing has ever moved me like this. Honestly, I'm not even sad or depressed, but the song is just so human. We all feel, or have felt like this at some point. It's just so vulnerable. Kudos to H.E.R.
I WAS not ok, now I am. Thank u HER! This is everything! And if you’re someone that is going through a hard situation, believe in yourself. Everything will be alright ✨🙏🏽🌷
In a industry full of quick fixes, ratchet ignant music and zero substance acts COMES A TALENTED BRILLIANT MYSTIQUE FILLED amazing young queen who's music is organic, original and enveloping.
Listening to this on while getting dressed getting ready for work today. God bless this talented young lady and beautiful spirit. This song just has this amazing calming effect. Thank you H.E.R., your music is way before it's time sister.
I'm Honestly Not Okay I Struggle With Music Everyday, Trying To Come Up With A Perfect Sound. Sometimes I Forget How Fun It's Is To Stick To What You Love. Im Getting Married And I'm Know I Have Issues With Trying To Be Emotionally Stable. I've Learned That It's Ok Not To Be Okay It's Life
Music is supposed to inspire. It comes from the heart and it should be a passion you love doing don't let your lust for music out weigh your love for music. Don't worry about the perfect sound because if it comes from the heart it will be perfect trust me and put God first in everything you do confess and repent to him and tell him you're struggling because you didn't include him in your path acknowledge him and seek him with all of your heart and soul and he shall direct your path
I miss you Cornelius Brown...it's been a whole year since that coward took you away from me. I'm not ok ..I'm just functioning. You have my heart forever babe! There will never be another you! I miss you
This song makes my world fly and float like a spaceship while going through a lifetime of sinking depression. This has been on repeat so much. I think I found a song that could be the soundtrack to my life.
I’m feeling this completely right now. Every step I take is in sync with this beat and ‘I’m not ok’ is repeating in my head but you know what it just goes to show it’s okay not to be ok. I’m not the only one I’ve been going through it but I’ll also get THROUGH it. Thank you H.E.R for this wonderful relatable anthem 🙌🏽❤️
I swear you come up with music that just speaks to my soul ... it's like you literally make music around moments in my life ... I'm not okay, is the perfect song to admitting that your simply not okay, and there is nothing wrong with realizing you need a break
If you feel like you are broken, like you could seep through the cracks of the earth, like you are in a glass jar screaming but no one can hear, just remember God broke you so he could find someone to fit your pieces back together.
im dealing with so much stress and anxiety that I feel like its affecting my relationship. I certainly feel like I had a close relationship with God, but everything just feels so clouded...I just pray everything will be okay. I think this covid pandemic brought out the worst in me...being inside my own negative thoughts towards myself. I need to learn how to trust God again and to have faith in myself. I need to love myself.
