Have you ever had a bunch of questions about yourself that you nor your family could answer? Have you ever found yourself struggling to become the person you believe you can be, because of what other people have to say? If you are any normal human being, you have experienced issues similar to these above. But luckily, Stevie Nicks has wise words to guide you through such times of wonder.
My obsession with Stevie spurred about when my parents informed me that she is the reason I was named Stevie. As a little girl that got made fun of for having such a "different" name, I used to hate it, and I often questioned the reasoning behind why my parents named me such a strange sounding name. Once I grew up and really became a fan, I realized why so many people love the person she is and the music she makes; giving me a more confident feel when analyzing my unique name.
I grew up listening to her music (obviously my parents were HUGE fans), so I always possessed a deep appreciation for those incredible melodies she and Lindsey Buckingham created. I didn't quite fall in love with Stevie until high school, when I basically knew every lyric she ever wrote and pondered on some quotes I ran across while watching documentaries, reading articles and looking at pictures of her beautiful, gypsy soul.
Stevie not only hits me in the feels with every song she creates but she has influenced me to really be the "Stevie" that I can be. She truly made me understand how to be myself. She allowed me to move past large obstacles and learn from mistakes. Her words can be so unbelievably empowering; I wish and hope that girls around the world can hear her words and believe in themselves, which is exactly what happened to me.
Her thoughts on being a true individual should never go unheard. She brings back a rational, mysterious, appropriate take on "sexy" that all women should keep in mind. Her idea of love is something so far from ordinary, I almost can't fathom any of it. The way she talks about fear makes nothing seem terrifying. So, here are some quotes that I believe teenagers and young women should be exposed to. Let these soak in, remember them and apply them when you hit a bump in the road or you question who you are. She can help you find your true self.
