    ahh! today!! lovestrong day is over. + it was epic.
    its kind of amazing how emotional making an album is…. and kind of even more amazingly emotional releasing it into the world. everyone is listening + judging + praising or ripping apart my work… words… melodies… sounds...songs… + stories. some people get it and some dont. it so scary… but its so rewarding too. there is this little 15 year old girl inside of me who is jumping for joy. she's screaming "we did it christina!!!! we cried those tears for a reason! he broke our heart for a reason! we wrote these songs for today… for may 10th 2011!!! we did it. its all okay now!!" there is also the 24 year old girl inside of me jumping just as high screaming "we did it! + it doesn't matter who likes it + who doesn't! we worked so hard for this! we are so lucky to get to wake up and do this everyday!! thank you for making this!! thank you for not giving up on yourself!!!!"
    i am so happy to give you lovestrong.
    we didn't give up.
    the universe opened a door… we jumped inside… and did it.
    :)
    i really hope you don't ever give up on yourself + your own dreams.
    love,

I'm listening to the album now...it's actually my second favorite album of all time...all I can say is thank you Christina for making this album. I'm currently going through a really bad time...I'm depressed. After listening to this album it just spoke to me. I love every word you put into each one of the songs. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in the world...I love The Lonely and Sad Song, they sum up my life in just a few minutes...You are by far the BEST, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!!

Hey Christina--I just wanted to say that my husband and I absolutely love you. Although you may not know my name, or who I am, know that you have have become a big part of my memories. Yesterday I married my best friend, and walked down the aisle while your song "Arms" was playing =) Everyone loved it! Congrats and blessings to you. Thanks for putting the words into song.
I am SO happy for you. I followed you on YouTube, was beyond excited for you when I heard your song on SYTYCD (where my husband then became your fan), then watched you on stage at the Wiltern...and now you shared our wedding day.
