“Adele is not rock-’n’-roll. She is not self-consciously retro. She does not shimmy or shake. Hers is a plant-the-feet-and-belt delivery that has all but disappeared from the pop landscape. It should be deeply uncool. And yet, there is something startlingly refreshing about her youthful elegance and commanding presence—especially because she is a 23-year-old Cockney girl from Tottenham.”
i never wanted to fit in!
i always knew i wasn’t like the other kids.
Sometimes i felt as though no one understood me.
Tears would form but i could never cry.
As i got older i began to realize that i wasn’t sick.
i started to ignore the constant gossip.
I realized that i was BORN THIS WAY.
and that it was OK TO BE DIFFERENT.
and HERE I STAND TODAY GAY AND PROUD.
because those who teased and taunted are the reason I am who I am TODAY.
BEAUTIFUL STRONG and DIFFERENT
