I once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken. But I didn"t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I"d been living, they asked me why - but there"s no use in talking to people who have home. They have no idea what it"s like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head. I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean And if I said I didn"t plan for it to turn out this way I"d be lying... Because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn"t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me."Every night I used to pray that I"d find my people And finally I did - on the open road. We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain Nothing we desired anymore, Except to make our lives into a work of art. Live fast. Die young. Be wild, and have fun, I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become. I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I"m at war with myself - I ride. I just ride. Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you"re free to experience them? I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free!" — Ride, Lana Del Rey // Love Always, Mandy.
