You Heard It Here First

"I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish."

"Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker's reflection."

"I want you to reject any person who has ever made you feel like you're not good enough, or thing enough, or pretty enough, or can't sing well enough, or that you won't do anything great in your life, cause you just remember - you're a god damn super star."

"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."

"When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time. "

"I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth."

"I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me."

^ All said by Lady Gaga and I'd be lying if I wasn't trying my damnedest to believe in any of these quotes as something that I could possibly become.

I would love to become so driven about my passion/career that men didn't mean anything anymore; to believe so wholeheartedly in my amazing qualities that I could move mountains; to be so strong even when there are people who do nothing but bring you down; to spit in the faces of the disbelievers and take chances; to accept my bad qualities as something unchangeable and perfectly normal.

My new year's resolution as of today at 2 pm:

• New year, new me. To hell with the ones who left and are gone, I'm moving towards a better future. I'm going to be the best version of me I can possibly be. Nobody's gonna love me as much as I do, so until I can find someone worthy to walk next to me, I'll walk alone.
