The moment I saw "A star is born" was like a thunderstorm. Then "Five foot two" was a tornado. I had known there was Lady Gaga and some of her music sounded familiar to me, but I was never really interested in finding more about her. Watching the movies was a turning point. I began to listen to Gaga's music, analyse the lyrics- so incredibly meaningful and awe-inspiring - do research about her life an career. And for the first time in about six years I felt joy, inner joy. Since my mum and only belived friend died from cancer four years ago I did not smile. Although I smiled outside at people I could not smile inside. My soul was aching, it still is, but I feel like dancing no w more often and enjoy life. The pain is less intense. Now I sometimes think my mum was Sonya and Joanne's friend. My day starts and ends with Gaga. Her music, life and above all personality and what she does to people...it's even hard to find words to express how much it all means to me and little monsters. I work with kids and teens and Gaga inspires my work with them as well, I teach them about not giving up, being kind and loving themselves. At the age of 42 I became a little monster😊 and every day I discover something new about this incredible woman. Thank you Lady Gaga, Stefani. You are a treasure.
