00:00All I want to tell you is that you matter.
00:09That's all I want to say.
00:13Because you'd think with how connected we are in society and how we can have a huge
00:20spectrum where people think others are more valuable than they are.
00:25You think people who are famous are more valuable than you.
00:29But guess what, they're not.
00:33They're not.
00:34Everybody holds something so unique, the DNA that is in your very body will not be replicated
00:41the same ever again.
00:43You are 100% unique and this tells me something.
00:48This tells me that you have something unique to offer the world.
00:54I don't want you to give up.
00:57If you have irrational thoughts about suicide, about self-harm, about giving up and leaving
01:02this world, do not listen.
01:06This may be the depression talking.
01:08We were built and we have evolved to survive and you will survive this day, you will survive
01:14tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.
01:19I have no doubt in my mind the strength you hold because if you have made it this far
01:25and I know you've destroyed barriers, I know you have climbed walls, I know you have broken
01:32down stigma because you are still here.
01:36I want you to know that you matter.
01:38I want you to know you have value.
01:40It doesn't matter where you lie on the spectrum, everybody holds the same value.
01:49It does not matter what language you speak, the color of your skin, what you wear, what
01:55you sound like.
01:59You matter to me and you matter to the world and there are people that love you and that's
02:03why you need to stay here.
02:08That's why life is worth fighting for because you can make a difference.
02:12If you make a difference in one person's life throughout your whole lifetime and you just
02:18impact the world positively once, it's completely worth it.
02:26Stay strong.
