    Bravo Lady Gaga. You were definitely placed on this Earth for a reason. I wish this sort of help had been around 24 years ago when my 15 year old sister took her own life.
    Thank you to you and your mum and everyone who is involved in this foundation for the work you are doing to tear down mental health stigmas, nastiness and bullying.

    Stefani,
    You are a starseed and here to disclose. Love you. Look behond the videos, look inside Gaga. You are a Healer! You want to take all the pain away from people. You have all the traits of a starseed 100%!!! ⭐⭐⭐
    You talk about monsters which equals fears to release. Always loved you. Always saw your soul. This is my favorite song. The words are so powerfull. At the beginning you talk about creation and the Orion wars. You were so advance at a very young age. I woke up at 20 but wasn't there yet. I'm 10 years older then you. Only had books to learn and work on myself. Everything you do is inverted like this "world" we live in. Today, I had an illuminating moment cause I finally know why I always knew your soul is pure.
    Thank you and thanks to your mom on behalf of the collective.
    Much love. 🌸💗

      *”You’ve got to walk the talk! Not just talk the talk”. Remember, money makes the world go round... not the axis or the orbit or the earth’s rotation or gravitational forces (or anything silly like that). Rihanna said so and since Rihanna is being oppressively propagated to the masses, then she’s absolutely right. So, you better get ready to work work work work work work. “TALKING IS FOR LOSERS!” - some abuser once told me that. There are more abusers than there are holy or good people, actually. It’s EXTREMELY RARE to find a good or a holy person. IT’S EXTREMELY RARE and the RARITY grows in exponents on a daily basis.*

      *No, it ain’t. MONEY is the cure. MONEY is very kind and can buy you many things (even people)! Yes, slavery is still real in the United States, but it’s very psychological and has to do with influence and social manipulation and psychological pressure and threats of abandonment, isolation, ostracism, ridicule, or poverty. So, yes... kindness is the cure, but it’s never going to happen as long as money exists.*

    Be Kind? Or be nice to people, etc.? If that is the case then the shirts should say kindness or something else. By promoting the word "Kind" by its self it seems like you are telling people to just act like themselves threw the constraints of their own minds, which can be viewed as a stereo typical sort of insult based on the persons ethnic back ground heritage and culture or individuality.

    a group of people or things having similar characteristics.
