Billie Eilish Fan Scholarship
One word to describe Billie Eilish is BREATHTAKING!, she is a person I look up to, and not any other artist can win me over, but her. I have been her fan since the very beginning of her career. At the very beginning of 2016 when she officially released her song "Ocean Eyes", which has been my #1 top song, I was around the age of 10 when Ocean Eyes came out, and loved it since. November 20, 2016, was a day I wouldn't forget as it was the first time I heard about her and her song, and which I am always thankful to my cousin, who was the one that presented her to me. It was a song that I had to always replay it anywhere and play it every day that I became so obsessed that my fan era appeared. I really wasn't aware of my obsession till my family was always complaining about how I sometimes wouldn't stop talking about her and her voice that captured me. Billie Eilish is truly an amazing person and a wonderful creator. She really is one of a kind and a person who helped me out through my struggles in life.
Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid, this song was specially made for me during the year 2018. My lovely grandfather had passed away during the year of 2018 and it was the first funeral that I attended. I really wouldn't have guessed that he would have been the first in my family to pass away, but it had to. My grandfather was my favorite grandparent out of all of my other grandparents. I could guess that I was his favorite as I would always have been given money and small treats that my other cousins didn't receive from him. Due to his health the day of his passing, I heard from my family that I was somewhat the last thing he said and remembered and that really broke my heart. During his funeral I surely wasn't great, I had cried a lot and felt a wave of sadness, but during a break, I went through my playlist and discovered Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid. The song really captivated me and at that time I terribly didn't know I was falling through depression. The lyrics of the song slowly raised me up and helped me leave that sadness of my grandfather passing away and brought me hope that he was in a better place. Although I really didn't notice that my grandfather's passing really impacted me. I can truly say they were early signs of depression, which my family noticed, but I was too deep to notice it and just thought it was a process of growing up.
My depression is still in the process of healing. I really wasn't a person to notice small changes in myself but others really saw through me. 2020 when the pandemic of Covid-19 was happening, it was really when I noticed how hard depression had hit me and the only thing that truly helped fight depression was "No Time to Die" by Billie Eilish. This song is my top three, It really made me look at Billie in a different way, not in a bad way, NO WAY! but in a way that she genuinely saved me from really getting deep in my depression, and if anybody is going through a similar process. I do hope and recommend listening to Billie Eilish and seeing and listening to her songs would bring hope in your life.
