Ethan Jewell

Ethan Jewell, the 20yr old poet, and pianist who got his stardom on TikTok, possibly the rawest most talented poet of our time, is going places. These feelings are temporary; that is only one of the messages Ethan Jewell is speaking to his listeners. This a simple yet powerful message that we all hear from our parents, teachers, friends, and therapists, In a place of darkness, we believe others have to tell us that to make us feel better. That is not the response Ethan gets from his listeners though. He says to feel your feelings, in a world where we're taught that our feelings are not valid. Through his poetry and piano he leaves himself vulnerable and pulls his audience into a place they have been before, but this time they’re not alone, they’re among others who have felt the same way or similar and it finally feels safe to feel their emotions. His voice though calming, demands the space and you’re consumed by him, hanging on every raw emotion he has in his words. If only growing up my generation had him to remind us that we were not alone, to feel our feelings, then let them go because they aren’t permanent, 14 yr old me needed an Ethan Jewell to listen to. Thankfully this generation has him, and they are listening, we as parents, are listening. You have our hearts, our ears, and we're here for it. Keep being you, stay humble, and I firmly believe Ethan, like the hero you wanted to be, you just may save some of us, if you haven't already.
