Truth is I love gaga because I feel like she gets me . She gets everyone who went through what she went through the bullying. I learned throughout life to be my self way before gaga the start of 7th grade I started listening to different music more Rock,punk type stuff. (fall out boy ) had a big impact in that. I started dressing differently wearing band shirts different jewelry etc… But there were times were i sometimes questioned wait should I act like they act , should I dress like they are. Or maybe I should pretend im someone else so people will talk to me and il have more then a few fiends . After elementary school the bullying did stop ,but sometimes would occur. Not as much. I used to see Kids my age or in my grade having all these friends and being really popular I guess . I wanted that . I wanted people to just want to talk to me. . I wanted to be popular . I really just wanted to fit in . And not stand out . But I soon realized that Its ok to be yourself and u dont have to fit in , be who you are . I noticed how everyone was different and that it was ok to be. 7th grade came . I was still at the process of trying to find myself . Trying to find out who I was. Other people knew I was Stephanie , but I wasnt really sure who I was myself . I met who would be my best friend Bianca in after school . I thought she was weird (Ive told her) but we started to realize we had a lot in common music , movies etc… We clicked and have been best friends ever since . She is pasty and I am Eddie lol ( from a show called absolutely fabulous) i made new friends who had interest in the same things I did . Old friends flew out the window lol and we talk occasionally . I remember one moment probably after I started making these new friends . I remember thinking Im in a good place now I have friends who will get me and understand things I talk about and be like yeah I love that band to . So at the start of high school would probbaly be when I knew everything in life was good . It was I guess the point of finding myself . 10th grade I hear poker face by lady gaga . I couldn’t stand that song . The reason why? Because I felt like she was trying to be like every other artist . After that the fame monster came out . I herd bad romance and realized it was the same singer . The song became catchy and gaga started catch my attention . I like how she was being different and dressing crazy and doing something most other artist wouldnt be caught doing . But the moment was when born this way came out . I remember the exact night it was the night before the Grammys I think 2010 gaga put up her first single off of her new album on her website. . She was gonna sing it live for the first time on the Grammys the next day . I replayed the song over and over . I really loved the message it gave . I loved how people who have been through what I did could listen to this song and take the message and say to them selves I was born this way . And even for myself . I know I was born this way . Im glad I not like those other kids. Im glad I never became popular . I love being who I am . I love being different and standing out not following but leading . Hopeing that one day my voice can be herd . I would love to change this messed up world we live in . I hate ignorant people who spend their days putting others down . Its a shame that we cant all just get along and love everyone for who they are. This is why I love gaga . I love how I can realate to her . And how she gets us. How she doesnt let people bother her or put her down . And doesnt care what others think . she learned to love her self and be proud of who she is. And that is exactly what I did . Mother monster is I guess a hero of mine .she is saving the world from the bullies . It will take time but I believe this world can change I really do and people will pull u down and make you feel low or tell u u can’t do that but it will only make u stronger. So thanks for reading . Paws up!xoxo
