I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up.

"I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling.

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.  

"So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to “speak yourself.”

"I would like to ask all of you. What is your name?

What excites you and makes your heart beat?

"Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.

"Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.

"Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life.

"I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.

"What is your name? Speak Yourself!"

Self love. It doesn’t mean that everyone will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. It means that you won’t let them change the way you see yourself; nor will you stick around for them to destroy you.
