Sunday

but she decided to write a song about it instead (and in my opinion saved lives).

* The World Is A Little Blurry Documentary. There is footage of her weeping when she performed this song.

For some kids it meant, if someone as successful, and 'Iconic' as Billie feels this way, maybe I am not alone. Maybe I should not be ashamed about how I am feeling.
