Lady GaGa stages an incredible live performance. Her shows combine music with theater and cinematic experiences. In between her singing and dancing, Lady GaGa shares positive messages throughout her entire show. “When you leave here, love yourself even more” she shouted to the crowd. Lady GaGa reminded everyone in her audience that we all feel insecure, but that we are perfect the way we are. Her message to all of us was to be ourselves.
As I looked around the audience, I noticed many young people listening to every word she was saying. There were some young people who had tears coming down their cheeks and were full of emotion at her positive messages. I too joined in with tears when GaGa finished her concert with her song, Born This Way. I started singing the song and then I choked up at the lyrics:
Don’t hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Even as an adult, it was nice to be reminded to not hide. As Lady GaGa reminded the audience many times, “There is nothing wrong with you.”
“Just love yourself and you’re set.”
The journey is about remembering and living from self-love every day.
