Lady Gaga has it right

This morning when I heard on the radio that Lady Gaga had a new single out I was instantly curious. I like her music, despite the fact that I listen predominantly to heavy metal. This can probably be attributed to being, as someone told me this past fall, "a walking oxymoron." Anyways, once class was over this morning and I found a comfy place in out of the cold I wandered over to Youtube to find the song.

I was in such awe and so inspired that I listened to it three or four times. As someone who was bullied all through elementary school, junior high, and high school and who still has some pretty serious self esteem issues, this song means alot to me. I love that is basically says that you're perfect the way you are because you were born that way. I haven't found anything that has made me feel this good about myself since my ex broke up with me a year ago.

Thumbs up Lady Gaga. We need more of this kind of songs, not the "I'm prettier than everyone else" kind.
