>About a year before “Pretty Girl,” Cottrill was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, a condition marked by swelling and inflammation of the joints. In Cottrill’s case, her knees were affected most, and when she would work on music in her bedroom, her legs would lock into stiff planks as she waited for her drum machine to record. At school, she was excused from gym and given an elevator pass that she always felt guilty using. Instead, she would struggle up the stairs, sobbing, telling herself that since her illness was invisible, it wasn’t “real” enough. Right now, as she tours throughout the country, she still doesn’t have 100 percent mobility back—don’t even get her started on her knees—but she says she’s doing a lot better.
>The album begins with a stark account of a particularly dark adolescent moment, on a song called “Alewife.” In quietly poetic terms, it describes a time when eighth-grade Claire considered taking her own life. “There was a night where I didn’t see any worth in myself,” she cautiously explains. “I was on the verge of going around the house and trying to figure out what I could do. I never left my bed, but in my mind I was going insane.”
Billie Eilish grew up poor in the hood. She literally heard gunshots outside her bedroom every night.

also i wouldn't trust a fucking thing she says, its all apart of the persona her PR team is putting together.
No matter how privileged someone is, they still have problems. Here comes the replies from people shitting on her about it, her career, or daddy's connections.

this is true. a lot of 18 year olds will disagree because harping on wealth inequality is trendy, but I've been in the higher places and the much lower places (currently in a studio apartment in the worst county in florida recovering from a lean binge), and happiness is truly irrelevant to all that shit. no matter how rich you get, you still have something to stress over. nothing changes and the primary sources of pain are all to do with your head and your relationships.

Why? Cause of the freedom it gives you. Financial freedom is a different kind of freedom. Depends on which one is most important to you.
