Let me tell you, people are mean to each other, but no voices are as mean as our own voices are to ourselves. Everyday when you look in the mirror and your mind is telling you all the things that you're not. If those things are: you're not cool enough, you're not pretty enough, you're not popular enough, you're not successful enough, you're not special, you're not wanted, you're not unique. Those are not the things you're not.
Let me tell you the things you are not, okay? You are not somebody else's opinion of you. That's what you're not. You are not going nowhere, just because you're 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 you're 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, stronger, and smarter because you made mistakes in your life.
-Taylor Swift
