'No matter how old you are, no matter who you are, no matter where you’re from... you deserve to follow your heart. I’m here & I’m rooting for you.” ❤️

“I’m thinking about being in 9th grade right now,” Shawn wrote under a pic of himself onstage, playing the piano surrounded by hundreds of fans. “The day after I posted one of my first covers onto YouTube back in 2014, at school walking down the hall straight into a group of older guys yelling out ‘Ssing for me Shawn sing for me!’ in a way that made me feel absolutely horrible... made me feel like a joke, like what I was doing was just stupid & wrong.

According to Shawn’s emotional post, his friends and family refused to let him give up on his musical dreams, so he kept on despite the bullying. “It’s not [a] joke to me. To make someone feel bad about doing what they love... every single person deserves to do what makes them feel alive,” he wrote. Shawn hopes his story will resonate with others going through something similar, whether it’s being bullied for pursuing your passion or following your dreams wherever they may lead you. “I’m writing this not only to the 15-year-old kid who’s scared to follow their heart because of what people might say but also to the 50-year-old who may be doing the exact same thing,” he wrote.
