00:02Dear Phoebe, there was once a time when you constantly needed reassurance,
00:07when you lived in fear of the world, including your own voice.
00:11If I could, I would wrap my arms around you and tell you that you are going to be a
00:15kick-ass woman.
00:16A time will come when you will no longer be afraid to be heard, or afraid to be seen,
00:21or, believe it or not, even to be loud.
00:25People actually care about what you have to say and want to listen.
00:29Everything you hate about yourself now are the things that are one day going to make you extraordinary.
00:34You are going to fall madly in love and your heart will get broken,
00:38but you will always pick yourself up with pride because that's what we do.
00:42You will be loved, flaws included, so stop trying to change yourself to fit into someone else's molds,
00:48and just be yourself.
00:50It doesn't matter if you are gay, straight, or bi, or even just confused.
00:54Own it because it's you and you're perfect the way you are.
00:57Love, Phoebe.
00:58Love, Phoebe.
00:59Love, Phoebe.
