"Be yourself, love yourself, speak yourself".
One year ago, even i didn't know what the terms meant. But now, I know. And not only me, I want all of you to know what they mean. If you google "be yourself", it'd show that being yourself means to act naturally, according to one's character and instincts. But what does it ACTUALLY mean? In simple words, "being yourself" means just going with the natural flow, and not being pretentious just to be liked by others. Being yourself is important because it helps you know yourself better. And as a result, you start to like yourself more. That ultimately leads to you loving yourself. Loving yourself is even more important because you can't love others unless you love yourself, and put yourself first. That does not make you narcissistic, that makes you confident. Loving yourself does not mean being scared of hating yourself, it instead means accepting yourself the way you are and coming to terms with the aspects of you that you cannot change. Now that you've learned to love yourself, I urge you to speak yourself. Learn to raise your voice for what's wrong, and speak for yourself. Others may hate you for this, but you will love yourself for this. I would like to end my speech with a quote by Kim Namjoon of BTS, ""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!"
