Me Too.. I'm Born This Way!


I personally believe that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta a.k.a. Lady Gaga is one of the best artists of this generation. I love her songs and how she loves the third sex, same probably as I do. Despite all the criticisms, I still idolize Gaga. Her songs, her talent and her personality. I love the way she expresses herself.. I love the way she say, "Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't achieve your dreams!" and "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way."  She is who symbolizes the people who are discriminated because of their sexual orientation or because of their weird choices.  The people like me, who for a long time had been suppressing who they are, provoked by the fear to disappoint people.  She is the people who had never been afraid to show what she's got and tell the world, "Hey, this is me! Take it or leave it!" and stands for what they believe no matter what other people say.

Here is one inspiring statement I quoted from a Gaga speech:
"I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me." 

Upon hearing that, I felt a familiar touch. I remembered the people who told me that I won't succeed, because I made different and weird choices. That I won't reach my dream. Then I said, "One day, you'll see me up there.. and you'll realize you we're wrong! " Well, I may not be a superstar like Gaga, but I know I'll be someone else. Someone great!

Her latest single Born This Way is the new "Soundtrack of my Life". I feel that she is even singing the song directly to me, telling me "Cheer up bitch! let'em say what they want.. you're beautiful that way coz you are born that way! Tell them to shut the fuck up!" Yeah.. I so love that song. Hearing the first stanza reminds me of my mom who used to tell me to be brave and confident because everybody is born to be great and it's just ends up on how you manage to be one. And the rest of the song reminds me to be proud of who I am because God created me this way. 

"I'm beautiful in my way 'coz God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way..
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby I was born this way.."

This made me realize that though don't have the physique of a beauty queen nor the face of a superstar, I was created in a way that's different from any other individual in the world. And that fact is enough for me to be proud of myself.. ^^,
