I was Born This Way

[Fame IV 4,426]

I can say it loud: I was born this way.

I'm very sad at Gagadaily. Instead of discussing if "Born this way ruined Gaga"s career", we should discuss the impact this album made on youth. It made me a little monster back at February 2011, when I was feeling insecure, sad and alone. It was such an important moment on out lives, and that's what art is about.

As Gaga said:

"The nexus of 'Born This Way' and the soul of the record reside in this idea that you were not necessarily born in one moment (...) You have your entire life to birth yourself into becoming the ultimate potential vision that you see for you. Who you are when you come out of your mother's womb is not necessarily who you will become. 'Born This Way' says your birth is not finite, your birth is infinite." 

Share your stories and love for BORN THIS WAY

Yes, and I was ARTPOP

Now I'm xoxo Joanne bitches 

OT  Born This Way, the song and album, is a legendary piece of music that changed many peoples lives, and inspired many others, including myself  I grew up in a society where gay generally meant negative things, but Gaga's music helped me see the truth

BTW is THAT album. An album that helped so many people around the world. And this speech from her made me stronger

When she released BTW I already stanned her for like 2 years. But when I heard the song and later the album it gave me the strength to accept myself and don't give a d**n s**t about others' opinions about me  . I so don't care about its commercial success - it gave me and other little monsters LIFE   .

One person came for BTW, and the rest of the thread is people shunning them. Believe me, BTW will not be underrated while I'm president.

Agrih. Born This Way inspired a whole generation to stand up for themselves and love themselves for who they are. I was a fan way back the release of the album but BTW made me confirm that I was a fan of a true artist, one that uses her voice to speak out for those in need.

It became a movement for those who needed a helping hand, included myself.  Gaga indeed became the vehicle of that movement.

I don't care if this album ruined her career or anything, all I know is, when I'm sad or alone or feel like giving up or feel left out and nobody  believes in me or love me for who I am, I put on this record.

It gave my strength on the hardest days of my live, and that's all the matter.

Exacly. That album made her LADY GAGA, a larger than life superstar. Our hero.

BTW was my first complete era as a STAN. I didnt noticed it at the time, but it really helped me to gain confidence, to love others, be even more accepting, and be true to myself. It also helped me to be ok with my insecurities (for the most part). I remember in my last years of school looking at the mirror and hating myself for not being "cool" enough, or for having few friends, for being introvert.

Thanks for everything Gaga!

I honestly believe the album is a big factor as to why I am still here today.

High school was incredibly difficult, and to have this album come out just after my freshman year was kind of a godsend.
