"Everyone laughed when she said she was a star... then she went super nova and blew them apart."

I guess I don't really have a blog post topic in mind today, but I found this quote and it really stuck out to me. It reminds me of something Lady Gaga would say (I admit it, I am a little monster, so sue me).

I've realized that I've taken a huge step from where I was a few years ago. I'm not the shy, suicidal girl I was. Don't get me wrong, I'm still nervous talking to authority figures, and boys, but I've also been quite flirty this summer. I don't know if it's the possibility that if I embarrass myself, I most likely won't have to see these people again, but I'm being somewhat more open. I've got a summer job and a job for the school year lined up. I'm ditching my baggy, boyish clothes for flowy tops and better fitting jeans. I feel like I'm a little bit of a late bloomer in this sense, but I think I'm finally becoming a teenager, or an adult, or a woman or, yeah I dunno, let's just say I'm growing.

So for all the haters who made fun of me or ignored me before, for all the people who try to tell me how to run my life when their own isn't even in check, I've got three words for you:

I'm. A. Star.

I've got plans for the future, but the best thing about having a whole new outlook on life is that...

I still have a future. I came from the depths of my depression, and I'll try my best not to go back, because I like how I've changed. It's a new year, with new opportunities, and I'm going to take them. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, but now that I really want it, I'm not letting anyone take it away from me.
