Beatrice Deer: Finding Strength in Sobriety and Music
I really believe that music has given me this platform to talk about life's hurts and what that can bring and how there's hope, because I lived my whole teenage years and young adult life basically hopeless and I really believed that life was crap, that life was terrible and it wasn't worth living and I didn't want to live.
