The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve.

I have never understood, why some people are lucky enough to be born with the chance that I had. To have this path in life, and why across the world there’s a woman just like me, with the same abilities, and the same desires. Same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films, and better speeches. Only she sits in a refugee camp, and she has no voice. She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they’ll ever be allowed to return home. I don’t know why this is my life, and that’s hers. I don’t understand that, but I will do as my mother asked, and I will do the best I can with this life to be of use, and to stand here today means that I did as she asked, and if she were alive she’d be very proud, so thank you for that.

I’m constantly trying to prove something to myself. Like I can eat that whole pizza by myself.

I’M STILL LAUGHING.

I will never not reblog this.

Always reblog.

This whole speech was perfection
