You don't think you're worth much, but you are. Along with your bad days, you will have good days too, and the good days will be really good. Music makes you so happy and gives you a feeling like nothing else in the world; follow that feeling. You are an impatient person, and you need to learn how to change this as soon as possible. So stop worrying what other people think and live your own life the way you want to live it.


You can watch the entire hour-long therapy session above, her comments about suicide come in around 36 minutes. But today, she chose to even more vulnerable and intimate, by livestreaming a "therapy session" with Viceland's Dr. Siri Singh. At one point, she admitted that she's struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past, "I feel ashamed that I would have those thoughts, feel that low, and that depressed," she said. She also noted in the session that part of why she changed her hair was because she didn't want to be Katy Perry anymore. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts you're not alone.
