And from talking to you so much, and from getting to know you, its never been more apparent to me, how difficult it is to feel ok about yourself in 2015, real talk. I mean, every single day we go online, and trust me I love the internet ok, love it, but, every day we go online and we scroll through the highlight reel of other peoples awesome lives. But we don’t see the highlight reel of our awesome lives. All we see is the behind the scenes of our lives. We see every single moment, from when we wake up and we’re like “Oh god, not feeling my hair today. Its not going to be a good day today for the hair.” You see your doubts. You see your fears. You see your concerns. Your the only one thats inside your brain, feeling all of your anxieties, and the voices that are telling that you cant be who you want to be, or that your not who you want to be, or that you want to be more like that other person over there. Let me tell you, people are mean to each other but no voices are as mean as our own voices are to ourselves. Is it true or is it false? Its true right? Ok so, if there’s one thing that you come away from this night remembering, I want it to be this…Everyday when you look in the mirror and your mind is telling you all the things your not, if those things are your not cool enough, your not pretty enough, your not popular enough, your not successful enough, your not special, your not wanted, your not unique, those are not the things you are not. Let me tell you the things you are not, ok? You are not someone else opinion of you, that’s what your not. You are not going nowhere, just because you are not where you want to be yet. You are not damaged goods just because you have made mistakes in your life. Those are the things your not. Let me tell you the things that you are, would you like to hear the things that you are? You are your own definition of beautiful and worthwhile, and no one else’s definition. You are wiser, smarter and stronger because you made mistakes in your life, not damaged. And lastly London, England, you are someone who is probably standing here tonight, going through your own battles, fighting your own ghosts, trying to cover your own scars, stressing about your own stresses but rather than wallowing in them, you got up, you put on an awesome outfit and now we’re all standing here together having the best time of our lives at a concert on a Saturday night night, thats what you are. I’ve realised that its not about being perfect, its not about feeling perfect, I think that sometimes its just about getting on with things and after a while you look around and realise that you are happy today, and thats all that matters. And I just want you to know that one thing I have learned in 25 years and I’m still learning is that…if you get rained on, you walk through a bunch of storms, life is constantly coming at you, that doesn’t make you damaged. It makes you clean.
