GOODS. YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE NOT WHAT
OTHERS SAY. WHO ARE THEY TO CONTROL YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL
BAD??? YOU ARE HERE TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS,TO FIND WHO YOU
ARE, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE NOT TO BE PERFECT. YOU SHOULD
NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. SO
NOW LET AS FORGIVE OURSELVES . LOVE OURSELVES. BELIEVE IN
OURSELVES.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT AFTER WINTER SPRING WILL ALWAYS COME.
 “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. 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.” "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 color, gender identity: speak yourself. "Find your name, find your voice by speaking
yourself.” 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”
