MAGPAPAHINGA na muna sa social media ang international pop star na si Billie Eilish.
Ito ang ibinalita mismo ng singer sa isang exclusive podcast interview ng American Tv host na si Conan O’Brien.
Ibinunyag ni Billie na tinanggal na niya ang lahat ng social media apps sa kanyang cellphone bilang paraan na maprotektahan ang kanyang mental health.
“I deleted it all off my phone, which is such a huge deal for me. Cause, dude, you didn’t have the internet to grow up with,” sey niya sa podcast.
Sinabi niya rin na ito ay isang malaking hakbang para sa kanya bilang lumaki siya na talamak na ang paggamit ng internet.
Saad ng pop star, “I feel like I grew up in the perfect time of the internet when it wasn’t so internet-y that I didn’t have a childhood. I really had such a childhood, and I was doing stuff all the time.”
“It was like computers and games on computers, but barely,” dagdag niya.
Patuloy pa niya, “And then when I became a pre-teen, there were iPhones, and then I got a little older, there was all of what has become, but being a pre-teen and a teenager on the internet, those were my people, I was one of them.”
Nabanggit din niya na nagiging komplikado na ang paggamit niya ng internet hanggang sa nagkakaroon pa ito ng isyu sa kanyang sarili.
“I just keep doing what I do over the years, slowly the videos that I’m watching and the things that I’m seeing on the internet are about me. I’m like … ew! Stinky! I don’t like that,” chika ni Billie.
Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na nag-open up ang singer tungkol sa isyu niya sa paggamit ng social media.
Noong 2021, inamin ni Billie sa LA Times na tinigilan na niya ang pagbabasa ng comments sa Instagram.
Ang kanyang dahilan, napapaniwala rin kasi siya sa mga tsismis na tungkol sa kanya kahit hindi naman ito totoo.
“I want to hear what people have to say, and also, because I’ve grown up on the internet, I mostly agree with a lot of what the internet says,” sey niya.
Paliwanag pa niya, “Some of the things that they make fun of people for are funny because they’re kinda true, right? Which then worries me because I’m like, ‘Oh, God, are the mean things about me actually true? And what are they?’ I want to know them! But I don’t want to know them, because what is that going to do for me? Nothing.”
