And one day, I’m just going to shatter it.” How am I supposed to breathe like that? right now, I’m poking holes in the lid, letting the light and air in and freeing pieces of me star by star. I don’t want to be poked and prodded into a glass jar. Why should try to change myself to suit someone else’s binary? It’s like trying to fit a galaxy into a glass jar. “I’ve never felt 100 percent like a girl, but I’m not a guy, either.

You should stop drinking, but your parents are alcoholics and pity themselves for not being the biggest musicians of their time because Emmy happened. She has to lay low, but to go home to her parents turns out to be a big mistake.
Underage drinking does not fit into that picture and being involved in an accident just makes it worse.Įmmy is in need of a break. To be a rockstar with a mostly young audience means that you have to be the perfect role model at all time.
Unfortunately not everything is just rainbow and glitter. Meet your new favourite punk band-The Brightsiders.Īlfie, Ryan, and Emmy love music and they are close friends who also rock every music hall.
