After experiencing firsthand the effects of suicide in my extended family, I became curious of the human condition and how we could possibly reach a point where we felt that there was no hope.
The thought of someone suffering in silence, feeling alone and feeling like there is no way out breaks my heart.
This video represents that isolated loneliness we can often feel…especially in the wake of traumatic events. But in the end it’s about reaching out for help as well as reaching out to help others. When we connect as human beings, we become stronger, and are able to share and let go of the burden one might feel.
If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, don’t be afraid to reach out. Life is definitely worth living.

I struggled with being suicidal from late middle school to early college. That scene watching Derek hitting himself in the mirror was something I remember doing a lot back then. The thoughts started as wanting an escape. Then it was encouraged by the feelings of isolation like no one cared. Then the self hatred sets in when you convince yourself youre a nuisance to everyone or that you feel like youre causing nothing but damage. It's a scary combination of feelings to have and it's an impossibly heavy weight to carry. What kept me going is watching other friends descending down the same path and deciding everyday to endure one more day because you want to make sure they're okay. It wasn't a problem solver by any stretch, but it was something.
Then I met my wife. She saw through the strong, dependable facade and allowed me to be weak when I needed to. She let me cry without judgment. That small thing is what started my road to walking away from wanting to end my life.
So that quote at the beginning about wanting to disappear is actually the desire to be found in disguise really resonates. Beautiful video.. I wish music videos still carried meaningful messages like this
Happy birthday Derek. I hope you have a wonderful birthday today with your family
trigger warning
Thank you for this. I hope you know this song helped me when I was struggling. A friend of mine committed suicide a couple days ago by jumping off a building and I wish I could have been there to help them like in this video.
💜💐🙏💜💐🙏💜💐🙏💜💐🙏

You and Your sister are Gifted and Music is part of You, But I felt all the Pain and Brokenness in this video 😢 and obviously You also Understand🕊 Thank You for sharing this Anointed Gift of Hope for Everyone Hurting and Congratulations on your new Beautiful and Talented Wife💘 💒💍
5 years, and I still come back to this frequently. Especially since my husband has passed. Thank you for being a light in the darkness, Derek.
Some ppl like sharif attia never know what it's like to love someone this much like I do him. 0:37 ❤ I do

Being on edge and seeing this. Had such an impact on me😢😢😢😢😢
Wow sharing this. Powerful!
I think this is such a powerful song and video. We never know what someone may be going through and if your hurting it can be hard to know what to do. But if your hurting, please reach out for help. I did and that’s why I’m still here today.
Rewiring sounds of bombs gunshots etc WORKS with this song. Post traumatic STRENGTH therapy
I remember
Suicide intervention 💪♾️
5 hears later, i still remember seeing this video when i was so much struggling. Still hits hard when watching, thank you for this masterpiece
this song hits so hard now after the horrible news of his friend and fellow dancer, R.I.P Twich
This song has helped me through difficult times in my life, it really says a lot
RIP Twitch.
My son just committed suicide and the night before he called everyone he loved and talked us all he sounded fine almost happy I would have never thought he was going to kill him self in a few short hours he even got baptized the day before I relive that last phone call over and over trying to think if I missed something was there something he said was there something I could have said or should have said… thank you Derek for this video and the words at the end
My cousin committed suicide. This hit so very hard.
So talented! Great dancing was just an aperitif! 😮 💯
