(CNN) -- In honor of the one-year anniversary of her groundbreaking self-titled work, Beyonce has taken us by surprise yet again.

The superstar singer gets personal in a nearly 12-minute short film titled "Yours and Mine," which was released Friday without warning, much in the same way she unleashed her album "Beyonce" in December 2013.

The result is a visually arresting piece that also includes nuggets of insight from Bey, who speaks on a range of topics from feminism to fame to marriage.

Here's what we learned:

'Humanist' rather than 'feminist'

One of the biggest hits from "Beyonce" is the track "***Flawless," which uses a snippet from a 2013 TEDx talk given by writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called "We Should All Be Feminists."

Though Beyonce's always been a proponent of female empowerment, even going back to her Destiny's Child days, she admits in her short film that she was initially skittish around the word "feminist."

"I've always considered myself a feminist, although I was always afraid of that word because people put so much on it," Beyonce says. "When honestly, it's very simple. It's just a person that believes in equality for men and women. Men and women balance each other out, and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other."

When it comes to men and the cultural pressures they face, "I have a lot of empathy," Beyonce continues. "I have the same empathy for women and the pressures we go through. ... I consider myself a humanist."

'The property of the public'

No one is immune to the price of fame, and that includes Beyonce. With global stardom, "you become the property of the public," she laments. "There's nothing real about it."

To be honest, "I sometimes wish that I could just be anonymous and walk down a street like everyone else," she adds. "Before I was famous, I was the girl on the hill with the guitar. I was the girl that just wanted a beautiful view of the beach. And now that I'm famous, it's really, really difficult to do very simple things. I think it's the hardest thing to give up."

'Never make excuses'

That said, Beyonce is never one to play the victim.

"My mother always taught me to be strong," she says. "Never make excuses; never expect anyone else to provide for me things that I know I can provide for myself. I have dreams, and I feel like I have a power to actually make those dreams become a reality."

'We're supposed to depend on each other'

There are those who think they'll "lose something when they get married, but it doesn't have to be that way," Beyonce, who's been married to Jay Z for six years, reflects. "There's nothing more exciting about having a witness to your life."

And beyond that, she sees something powerful in partnership.

"You know, everybody's not good at everything. It's OK to depend on someone; it's actually what we're supposed to do," she says. "We're supposed to depend on each other, and when you find the person that you trust and you love and that you feel that is going to respect you and take all of the s*** that you have and turn it around and bring out the best in you, it feeds you. It is the most powerful thing you can ever feel in your life. ... One thing that's for sure: The love that I have for music, for my husband, for my child, is something th

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
碧昂斯發布了一個短片週五
她反映了許多話題，從女性主義成名
她還談到了婚姻
（CNN） -在紀念一週年了突破性的首張同名作品的，碧昂斯已經把我們措手不及又一次。
這位超級巨星的歌手得到個人在近12分鐘的短片題為“我和你”，這是週五公佈的毫無預兆，更以同樣的方式，她在2013年12月釋放她的專輯“碧昂絲”。
其結果是視覺逮捕件，其中還包括來自貝，誰說話就一系列議題，從女權主義成名婚姻洞察力掘金。
以下是我們了解到：
'以人為本'，而不是'女權主義'
一個從“碧昂絲”最大的命中是它使用由作家Chimamanda恩戈齊Adichie給予稱為2013 TEDx的談話片段軌道“***無瑕”， “ 我們應該都是女權主義者。”
雖然碧昂絲的始終是女性賦權的支持者，甚至要追溯到她的真命天女天，她坦言在她周圍的詞最初水性楊花她的短片“女權主義者”。

“我一直認為自己是一個女權主義者，但我總是害怕這個詞，因為人們把這麼多就可以了，”碧昂絲說。“當說實話，這是非常簡單的。這只是一個人信奉平等的男性和女性。男人和女人相互平衡了，而且我們必須得到一個地步，我們的舒適與欣賞對方。”
當談到男人和他們所面臨的文化壓力，“我有很多同情的，”碧昂絲繼續。“我有同樣的同情婦女和壓力，我們去。......我認為我是一個以人為本。”
“公眾的財產”
沒有人倖免於成名的代價，這包括碧昂絲。隨著全球明星“，你成為公眾的財產，”她感嘆。“沒有什麼真實。”
說實話，“我有時會想，我可能僅僅是匿名的，走在街上和其他人一樣，”她補充道。“以前，我是有名的，我是在用吉他山上的那個女孩。我只是想在海灘的美麗景色的姑娘。而現在，我出名了，這是真的，真的很難做很簡單的事情。我認為這是放棄最難的事。“

“決不找藉口“
這就是說，碧昂絲從不打一處來的受害者。
“我的母親總是教我要堅強，”她說。“不要找藉口，永遠不要指望別人來為我的事情，我知道我能為我自己，我有夢想，我覺得我有權力，竟讓那些夢想成為現實。”
“我們應該互相依賴“
還有那些誰認為他們會“失去的東西，當他們結婚，但它並不一定是這樣，”碧昂絲，誰是被結婚傑伊ž六年，體現了。“沒有什麼更精彩的關於有一個見證你的生活。”
而除此之外，她看到一些強大的合作夥伴關係。
“你知道，大家是不擅長的一切很OK依賴別人;它實際上是我們應該做的，”她說。“我們應該互相依賴，當你發現你信任的人，你的愛和一個你認為是要尊重你，並採取所有的S ***，你必須將其翻過來，並帶出最好的你，就餵你這是最強大的東西，你可以永遠覺得在你的生活......有一件事是肯定的：。愛，我有音樂，我的丈夫，我的孩子，是什麼，將持續遠遠超出了我的生活。“
