Billie Eilish's Empowering Message: ‘To Always Try To Look Good Is Such A Loss of Joy and Freedom’
Billie Eilish, the multi-talented singer-songwriter, has been making waves in the music industry with her unique style, powerful voice, and thought-provoking lyrics. Beyond her music, she is also known for her refreshing perspective on body image and self-acceptance.
In a recent interview, Billie opened up about her views on society's obsession with appearance. She stated, "To always try to look good is such a loss of joy and freedom." These words reflect her deep understanding of the pressures faced by individuals, particularly in the public eye, to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
#1. Billie Eilish became famous at a very age.
#2. She breaks the norm.
#3. Her impacts are undeniable.
#4. She is just one of a kind.
She still connects with her physical wildness, usually on stage, though she has to push away negative thoughts to do so. “When I’m on stage, I have to disassociate from the ideas I have of my body,” she says. “Especially because I wear clothes that are bigger and easier to move in without showing everything – they can be really unflattering. In pictures, they look like I don’t even know what."
"I just completely separate the two. Because I have such a terrible relationship with my body, like you would not believe, so I just have to disassociate… Then you get a paparazzi picture taken when you were running to the door and had just put anything on, and didn’t know the picture’s being taken, and you just look how you look, and everyone’s like, ‘Fat!’”
#5. Being herself plays also an important role in her success.
As we continue to celebrate Billie Eilish's artistic achievements, let's also acknowledge her empowering messages about self-acceptance and body positivity. In a realm often overshadowed by superficiality, Billie's genuine spirit stands as a beacon of hope and a reminder that our worth is not defined by looks, but by the content of our hearts and the strength of our character.
“I guess I want them to understand that… just as you change, and your opinions and feelings and likes and dislikes and knowledge changes over the years, so do mine,” she claimed.
“Everyone’s guilty of looking at celebrities and not processing that they’re just a person. But they are. So it’s classic ‘Do to others what you would want to be done to you’. Because you’re just some person and so is everybody else.”
