	i knew i had to find the means and the courage to speak up, to express my ideas, thoughts and feelings, to be the most beautiful me i could be, offering what i had to give. i have found that only one thing brings me peace of mind: knowing i am doing everything i can to be the person i want to be.
	CD: Just Like You
	Story Behind the Song ani difranco has a song on her album “out of range” (the first album of her’s i ever heard/ bought) called “face up and sing”. there is a verse that goes, ‘some chick says/ thank you for saying all the things i never do/ i say you know the thanks i get/ is to take all the shit for you/ it’s nice that you listen/ it’d be nicer if you joined in/ as long as you play their game girl/ you’re never going to win’. these words impacted me strongly. i knew i had to find the means and the courage to speak up, to express my ideas, thoughts and feelings, to be the most beautiful me i could be, offering what i had to give. three years later i wrote my first song (pop song). two-and-a-half years after that i wrote ‘just like you’. i have found that only one thing brings me peace of mind: knowing i am doing everything i can to be the person i want to be. i extend my gratitude, also, to gaye delorme whose advice (“now go home and write 20 more songs”) inspired the first verse of this song; the rest followed fast upon it.
