You know Lizzo: amazing singer, queen of body positivity, and badass flute player.
"You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone and annoying and nobody cares about you?" she asked. "Can we get rid of that part? It’s like, yo, I’m already sad. Could it add insult to injury that I have no one to talk to about it?"
"It's crazy. Why do we feel this way when we get sad?"
"I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I want to feel like I do have someone to talk to, people do care about me. I am loved. I’m not alone. That’s how I want to feel, but I don’t feel like that."
We all know how cruel the internet can be, and I was almost afraid to look at the comment section. But when I did, it really warmed heart! Nearly 40,000 comments filled with love and support! This guy wrote that Lizzo is "more inspiring and relatable" than she thinks.
Another fan shared that Lizzo helped her through "many situations" and encouraged the singer to "keep [her] head up."
I also appreciated that Lizzo's video sparked an important conversation about emotions. This woman wrote that she was "proud" of the singer for "voicing [her] feelings."
This person wrote, "Having emotions is NOT embarrassing! ... You are allowed to feel things."
Another person agreed and wrote that we are "deeply beautiful and human" when we're experiencing emotions.
Yes, yes, yes to ALL of this!!
