“When I was 16 I tried to kill myself because I felt weird and I felt different and I felt like I did not belong. And now I’m standing here.
So I would like this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she’s weird or she’s different or she doesn’t fit in anywhere. Yes, you do. I promise you do.
Stay weird. Stay different. And then when it’s your turn to stand on this stage please pass the same message to the next person who comes along.”
