My younger sister, a freshman in college, just shared with me a personal reflection she wrote for one of her classes about the time I dragged her along to the Monster Ball in August 2010. By the end I was in tears. THIS is why I follow Mother Monster. Because she really, really does set all of us free. "Tonight, I want you to forget all your insecurities. I want you to reject anyone or anything that's ever made you feel like you don't belong or don't fit in or made you feel like you're not good enough or pretty enough or thin enough or cant sing well enough or dance well enough or write a song well enough or like you'll never win a Grammy or you'll never sell out Madison Square Garden, you just remember that you're a goddamn superstar and you were born this way!" -Lady Gaga #MonsterBall #freaks #free #littlemonsters #bornthisway #uplifting #upliftingwriting
