Youtuber Jessie Paege Addresses Eating Disorder in Powerful New Single 'Skeleton'

On Friday January 17th, Youtuber Jessie Paege dropped her latest single 'Skeleton' in which she voices the fight and struggles that she's had to endure with eating disorders. The Youtuber has addressed this in previous videos, claiming that she has suffered from Anorexia and Bulimia, among others. According to Paege, overcoming these disorders is the single hardest thing that she has ever had to do. Speaking from personal experience, I can assure you that she is not exaggerating. And while I cannot honestly say that this is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, it is certainly close to the top of the list.

Like with her last two songs, 'Not a Phase' and 'Phantom', in this powerful new single, Paege has not only expressed her own experiences, but has also helped give so many of her fans, myself included, hope that whatever struggles they may be dealing with are only temporary and that they will get through this. 'Skeleton' really makes you stop and look at what you're going through. It's the kind of song that forces you to face your demons and everything else that you have been pushing down and avoiding because it's easier to ignore a problem than it is to face it. While I don't usually look for that, and in fact actively avoid it, in the music I listen to, this song was different because it didn't just make me look my demons in the eye, it made me want to do something about them. This song makes me want to get better. Instead of staying in my little comfort zone, it makes me want to stop dragging my feet and keep fighting to the point where, when I look in the mirror or at pictures of myself, I like what I see. This song makes me want to put in the work to get back to the point where I feel good about myself and how I look. So, while the song itself may not have given me the strength to keep going and get better, it definitely makes me want to find that strength inside of me much more than I ever did before.

So if you, or someone you know, is struggling, whether it's with an eating disorder, addiction, mental health, or if they are just in a bad spot right now, please have them listen to this song and, if they're up for it, watch the music video as well. I promise you they are both equally powerful and will give you the hope that, while you may not have it now, you will find the strength to get to a better place where you feel good about you're life and who you are and what you look like. 'Skeleton' is truly a unique song. An anthem that will make you cry tears of joy at finally being understood and will help you find the strength over and over again to overcome even the most seemingly immovable obstacles.
