How did Lady Gaga changed your life?

[Gaga oh lala 173]

Because of her she has shaped me on who I am as person. At times I felt like I was hopeless and I've had better be off dead without her music and personally I wouldn't be here today.  I would like to thank her in person one day.

idk who i would be without her but i wouldn't be who i am today

she brings out the best in me and has taught me more about growing up than either of my parents have

sad but it's true

She's like a second mom who isn't homophobic, prejudiced, or close-minded.

I know it sounds corny but she truly did save me ♥️ I had a very traumatic childhood and I spent years trying to fill the void that my biological mom left and Gaga was the one to do it. In a way she became the "mama" I always wanted. 

People always say "other celebs love their fans". Yeah but not like Gaga loves her Little Monsters ♥️ It's a pure unconditional love that has saved so many lost and broken kids

Gaga didn’t really change my life, but her speeches on anti-bullying were helpful in my middle school years. Also being a fan of Gaga didn’t make me homophobic and be in favor of equality.

Me? about to overshare to near strangers on the internet? you bet!

tw for a very brief mention of an abusive relationship + rape

Around a year ago I started capital S Stanning (even though young me adored me, I only started getting really into her this past year). It was literally the night my boyfriend broke up with me (february 13th) that I got a gaga song stuck in my head and decided to give in and listen to it. I was still in complete and utter denial of any of the abuse and just thought he was a jerk. But as the weeks went on I kind of hit a realization that the past two years of my life had been lived in a dissociative haze. I realized I was not the person I used to be at all, and I hated who I had become as a person. I was not in a good place at all, and I had alienated almost all of my friends doing it. At the time I was constantly listening to Lady Gaga because it was (often) good happy music that lifted my spirits and distracted me. Her music gave me the courage to confront my ex about what he did to me, which is still one of the scariest things I've ever done. I felt very lost, and had zero sense of identity after that. My entire identity previously WAS my ex boyfriend. She helped me rebuild myself and reminded me of who I once was before most of the heart breaks in my life. She brought me back to the happy 10 year old crushing on Alexandra Daddario in the Percy Jackson movie. She brought me back to the girl who loved her friends and who loved anyone-who was willing to stick up for someone and show them kindness and acceptance. She brought back the girl who wouldn't make fun of anyone. 

She helped me and consoled me endlessly in the aftermath. She helped me re-find myself and build myself up from nothing. She helped me find a glimmer of hope to not give up on my life. She helped me get the help I needed and check into the psych ward of the hospital. She still helps me every single day by putting a smile on my face. This all sounds cheesy and sappy but I love her more than just about anyone.
