i went to the event today and got an amazing opportunity to listen to your talk. i just wanted to thank you for how much you changed me. i didn’t know how much people had such broken families and it made me really thankful for mine. i really took for granted how much my family loves me and you opened up my eyes to that. i show a lot of respect for those people and you. you taught me to love myself for who i am even if i feel like i’m too fat or ugly. i thank you for making me feel like i really do have a purpose in life and that is to be myself. thank you thank you thank you!
