She is controversial, eccentric, and borderline psychotic...
...but Lady Gaga's song lyrics to "Born This Way" are, in my opinion, as powerful as any song in recent memory.
As most girls in this world, I have always struggled with self-confidence. I will always have things I am self conscious about. I don't think I will ever get completely away from that. But recently I have realized I have to do certain things to be my best me. Things like exercise, eating right, doing puzzles, reading good books, thinking positively and taking criticism are all needed to make me become the best person I can be.
Working in elementary schools, I am seeing girls at incredibly young ages struggling with the issues I struggle with as an adult. It is unfair for them to grow up in a world with such negativity and where vanity is portrayed everywhere.
I don't agree with certain lifestyles, but I can respect others for their differences.
What's important is you love yourself, know you are born to survive, and most of all remember...
Baby, You Were Born this Way!!!

Those are some good thoughts, Em. I think we all have to remind ourselves to think more positively and create a better quality life for ourselves.
