Mother Monster, I know you may never answer me (& it sucks!!) but I would really like to let you know how inspirational you are to me & how you've changed my life. When this site asked me how you impacted my life, I got very excited! haha so what i wrote was this: She's made me believe in music again. I lost hope at one point. I began to feel as if artists were all self absorbed & only had one layer to them. Then Gaga came along. She came out with music that didn't just make you jump off of your seat, but instead made you feel something special inside. She showed the world that music is to express yourself & your deepest feelings, not just to get some radio play & make a couple of bucks. She makes music with meaning & shows the world her many layers. She taught me to believe & love myself just the way I am, because God really makes no mistakes.
