Gaga has always been there when no one else was. When i struggled figuring out who I was, I always had Gaga's music, fashion, videos and concerts to be inspired by. I was able to take Gaga's meanings and find my own from these things and this helped me to find myself. Feeling like if I told anyone they would exclude me, i felt as if Lady gaga was all I had. I have grown as a person so much since the beginning of Gaga. I was once that little shy kid that no body liked and was bullied, but I have become more confident and happy with who I am. Even though I am still shy, have bad self-esteem and some people don't like me, bullying has ceased and I am still continuing to become more confident. I am proud of who I am and I have learnt so many lessons from gaga. The Monster Ball and the Born This Way Ball were born incredibly large turning points in my life. The Monster Ball was my 2nd concert ever and it was so amazing, it inspired me and I think it started the journey of creating my identity and accepting it (since accepting it myself was the hardest at first). The Born This Way Ball was the MAJOR turning point. I remember crying the whole way through that concert, I felt so united with all the fans and I felt so close to gaga even from the back of the stadium. I felt so confident in that room and it really changed me. People don't understand the obsession, most of us experience that, but when I say Gaga is a part of me I mean it. She is literally a part of who I am and she has supported me and helped me more than anyone else can. Even though their are dangers of being gay in our society still, I focus on how happy I am going to be when I find someone to love. I have to be Brave. Thats my story. #BraveforGaga
