“I think that when it comes to how we see ourselves.. other people are really mean, but we’re really mean to ourselves.. and so it’s easy to get confused.. and when you do get confused, and you start feeling like you’re not special, or you’re not different, or you have nothing important to say.. we all feel like that sometimes. What I want you to do right now, if there’s one thing you remember from tonight, remember what I’m about to say. You need to look into the mirror in the morning and not tell yourself that you’re not special, or you’re not good enough, you’re not pretty, or you’re not awesome. You are not the opinion of somebody who doesn’t know you. You are not "damaged goods” just because you’ve made mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven’t gotten where you want to go yet. You are your own definition of beautiful and worthwhile. That’s what you are.“ (x)
