Brand New Me

It's been a while, I'm not who I was before
You look surprised, your words don't burn me anymore
Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it's clear to see
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back
God knows something had to change
I thought that you'd be happy
I found the one thing I need, why you mad
It's just the brand new kind of me

It took a long long time to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised

If I talk a little louder
If I speak up when you're wrong
If I walk a little taller
I'd be known to you too long
If you noticed that I'm different
Don't take it personally
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Oh, it took a long long road to get here
It took a brave brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, oh see you look surprised

Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me again
If you were worth a while
You'd be happy to see me smile
I'm not expecting sorry
I'm too busy finding myself
I got this
I found me, I found me
I don't need your opinion
I'm not waiting for your ok
I'll never be perfect, but at least now i'm brave
Now, my heart is open
And I can finally breathe
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
Don't be mad, it's a brand new time for me

The Kelly-Sutra

Kelly Cutrone says some pretty raw and amazing things.... I am a BIG fan of quotes and I like to think of myself as a little walking Fortune Cookie at times... I hope these quotes inspire you as much as they have inspired me.

The Kelly-Sutra

" I hope that you, too, will choose to have a journey instead of just a life.  Actually, I hope it's a full on expedition."

"You have to put your best foot forward... Cause if you don't, the other one doesn't get to follow."

"You can fake your way to the table, but ultimately you have to learn how to eat."

"The people you love most will hurt or destroy you on some level, whether it's in the immediate future or years down the road.  So will your mother, your fiance, your husband, and your child.  It doesn't make them horrible, worthless or irredeemable, it just makes them human beings."

"Your dreams are ballbusters, they're not the yellow brick road."

"The best thing to do is to always compete with yourselves and not to compete with others."

"This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year.  Things will change: You won't feel this way forever.  Sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.  After all, you can't truly be happy if you've never known pain.  You can't feel real joy unless you've felt heartache.  You can't know what it's like to be filled unless you've been empty.  You can't have a sense of victory unless you what it means to fail.  You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you know what it's like to feel really fucking evil.  And you can't be birthed again until you've died."

"I say that half your life is spent trying to get out of a small town and the other half trying to get back to one."

"We are people who want to play dress-up all day—we don’t want to know about all the pain in the world."

"If you have to cry, go outside."
