I feel so emptyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

When I die you'll love me

I just wan(n)a be everybody's everything I want too much from people but then I don't want anything from them at the same time u feel me I don't let people help me but I need help but not when I have my pills but that's temporary one day maybe I won't die young and I'll be happy? What is happy I always have happiness for like 10 seconds and then it's gone. I'm getting so tired of this

All of those aforementioned captions were written by rising rap star #LilPeep on his Instagram page days before he was found dead on Wednesday November 14th 2017 due to a suspected drug overdose. The artist & model whose real name was Gustav Ahr was only 21 YEARS OLD at the time of his death, and in a case of creepy irony, along with above captions, Peep also posted an IG pic of him taking two pills on his tongue, an image that eerily harks back to the drug use that may have taken his life

I personally have never listened to LIL PEEP'S music or even heard of him before news broke of his passing & it might be safe to that some of you in my audience hadn't heard of him either. Still, I felt it was important to share this story because it highlights 2 major issues attacking our as human beings in this era: 1) recreational drug use & 2) mental health

In short, a lot of us are ESCAPING THROUGH OUR #ADDICTIONS: Drugs, alcohol, sex to NUMB OUR PAIN EMOTIONALLY & PHYSICALLY with #TEMPORARYHIGHS, due to mental health issues that are exacerbated by spiritual warfare & social media excess

At the end of the day, a relationship with #JESUSCHRIST & finding your IDENTITY & JOY in him is the TRUEST WAY to fill that void many of us feel & people are CRYING OUT FOR THAT LEVEL OF #HEALING. The problem is that WE ARE 'SCROLLING PAST' friends, family & associates on our social media pages & in our REAL LIFE in REAL TIME who are desperately crying out to us because we don't like how they look, don't make the time to care or just dismiss them as attention seekers

There's a 'LIL PEEP' in your life Are you hearing their cry? & if you are, what will you do?
