We need to make it okay not to share everything online again.

[Marie-Fey]

I think the main problem is they film everything. Some things are too intimate to be online

I actually went to college with these two a few years ago! We were in the same Theatre Program and they are both very nice and compassionate people. Let me say this: for as long as I’ve known Matt he always gives off extreme golden retriever/himbo energy at times! I assure you, he means no malice and he loves and cares for his wife so so much.

Depression does feel like nothing is enough, even when you know everything is perfect.

[milleniumfalcon]

This is 100% depression. One thing that is not talked enough about is how depression negatively affects your judgement/decision making skills. I know from experience during an episode I shared far more with friends/aquaintences than I normally would/do. People sometimes overshare when they are depressed, because their mind is literally out of loop and not operating at baseline. They are grasping at straws. Anything. Everything, trying to stay afloat. Oversharing is sometimes a desperate (unconscious) cry for help that they don't know how to otherwise express.

We always complain that Vloggers only post the positive and over exaggerated highs of their life, we comment that it is fake.
Then we criticise those who show the difficulties, hardships, the real struggles, and then ask them to keep that part of their lives private. 🤨

[rebecavc]

As long as I'm concerned, the only thing they're doing wrong is oversharing and putting their family online without really considering or being prepared for the consequences of allowing their family to be vulnerable to the internet and all the hateful people online.
Edit to add: Yes, they are both immature. So much of what they post and do is extremely unwise. My parents have one of the healthiest marriages I know, and that is because (not inspite of) all the lessons they learned from their errors over the years. Errors which they used to grow together. Difference? IT'S NOT ALL POSTED ONLINE FOR MILLIONS TO VIEW FOR ALL ETERNITY.

I have dealed with mental health issues my whole life and what he says is true. Sometimes you can logically see that you have so much and are still sad and don't understand why...

[bethanyfegley-caceres]

Pretty transparent. He says what a lot of people feel. Marriage, kids, house, job….nothing in this life satisfies. There is something deeper that the human soul needs more than air.

I took the song as a way of him being able to share with his wife that he is feeling depressed, while also expressing that his depression has nothing to do with their relationship or the kids. He even says has EVERYTHING he has ever wanted and knows that should be enough, but the brain chemistry isn't matching. Very similar thing in mothers with postpartum. They have a beautiful new baby, yet they still feel off. It's distressing and guilt inducing when you don't feel you have an excuse to be depressed, but you don't necessarily need one. Not all depression is situational, some is just purely chemical.

[TigersandBearsOhMy]

If a woman had written and posted "Still Not Enough, " people would be FLOODING her with support. The dude is obviously actually depressed, and it's sad. They all need therapy, individually and as a family.

That being said, damn, I really felt those lyrics. I could cry if I let myself.

[strangeturtle]

That's depression. I had everything I could ever wanted and I felt like I had no right to feel sad... but the depression drowned me deeper.

[bunnycamo]

Even when you get married, and this is coming from a married woman, you’re still yourself. The song about feeling empty might not have anything to do with his wife or kids, it has to do with an internal struggle that he’s dealing with, and was trying to express himself.

[cheyenne]

My husband and I had two kids back to back and he fell into a deep and dark depression. Lowest moments of his life. Post partum depression in men is common and overlooked. Testosterone drops, regular exercise pauses, sleep deprivation sets in, sun exposure is minimal. Men have bodies and feelings too and they don’t take away from her feelings or yours.

[EowynG]

He's not saying "My wife and kids aren't enough to be me happy." He's saying "I have a perfect life and yet still feel bad about MYSELF."

[leahbranford]

I think when he says "still not enough" he means even though his life is so beautiful and wonderful, it's not enough to cure him of his anxiety and depression. It's definitely about his mental health.

[starlinreese]

No, no, no. "It's still not enough" is exactly right. He has what he thinks he wants, but his mind is telling him what he has, and what he does, is still not enough.
God bless them both.

[mikrahzin]

Maybe being an influencer is what's making him depressed. It's no secret that social media depresses people. All the negative comments, all the comparisons. It's hard

[DreamOfSomedayy]

When I heard Matt singing about feeling 'empty' even though he had 'everything', my immediate thought was, "He needs Jesus!" Because that's the truth! In this life, you can have everything you ever dreamed of but it WILL be empty if you aren't fulfilled first and foremost by Jesus. Faith in Jesus Christ is eternal. Things on Earth are temporary. The raw fact is, kids, a wife, a job, a house, etc. IS NOT ENOUGH and never will be. There will always be a piece of someone that is missing if they aren't following God. He's the one who gives us our identity and our strength even when our thoughts are pulling us apart inside. I'm surprised that nobody else brought this up. From a Christian worldview, it's my first thought.
