❝ I want them to free themselves and I want them to be proud of who they are. I want them to celebrate all the things they don’t like about themselves the way that I did. And be so truly happy from inside. And I say that so genuinely to you because I perform every night and I look into your beautiful eyes and I love you so much. ❞

Lady Gaga We spend so much of our lives thinking what if. What if this had happened instead? What if that hadn't happened? What if I did this?
We spend so much of our lives fearing consequences and listening to rules and being practical that we forget what it's like to live. To breathe in the cold air and freeze to our bones and be so happy that we're dizzy from the height of it.
This is my real pact, my real resolution. To actually live and inspire other people to live as well. I want to write books and climb mountains and explore Europe and experience Africa and know Asia and read everything and learn, learn until there's everything left to learn and love until it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
This is my pact, my resolve, my determination to make my own memories and to make memories with
you and to have faith and to laugh and to inspire and to be inspired and to leave an unforgettable, absolutely conspicuous mark in the world.
It's so easy to doubt yourself and to say what if and to stop yourself because so much could go wrong and it's so hard to trust and to believe and to lose sight of the smaller details for the bigger picture. But without the smaller details, you can't make the bigger picture. It never works that way.
So live with no regrets.
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins
‘Cause your heart has a lack of color and we should’ve known
That we’d grow up sooner or later ‘cause we wasted all our free time alone
