I only add actual friends; in addition to bands, celebrities, companies, and organizations that I support.
Otherwise, a personal message is required in order for me to add you as my friend!

"For me to be 10 pounds thinner is a full time job and I am handing in my notice and walking out the door. I'm not going to die because I failed as someone else. I am going to succeed as myself."

“Those without self esteem will hesitate. Those without self esteem will hesitate to go for a job. Will hesitate to be loved. Will hesitate to try something new. Will hesitate to stand up for discrimination. When you look in the mirror and say I’m fat, I’m ugly, I’m not good enough’ that is billions and billions of dollars paid for you to think that way, so you will go out and spend your money on a turn around cream that doesn’t turn round nothin...
For us to have self esteem is a revolution – a revolution that is long overdue!â€
-Margaret Cho

"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!...
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down..."
-Elphaba, Defying Gravity, Wicked the Musical
"You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right
Now just doe, better show that she's worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth
'Cause if you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me promise not to blow off
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
'Cause baby I know you're worth it
She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth...
No need to read between the lines, spelled out for you
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong with your values
A woman, woman, woman, woman's worth
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth"
-Alicia Keys, A Woman's Worth, Song's In A Minor (2001)
