Dear Emilia, you just turned 18.
-
Not Synced
So, as your future self,
here is some advice
-
Not Synced
that I'd like to give you.
-
Not Synced
[Music]
-
Not Synced
This particular journey that you're on
-
Not Synced
is unlike any one of your friends'
-
Not Synced
that you are with right now.
-
Not Synced
What they're doing
-
Not Synced
is gonna bring them
joy and happiness;
-
Not Synced
and what you're doing
is also gonna bring you --
-
Not Synced
maybe a little more struggle,
-
Not Synced
and some joy and happiness as well.
-
Not Synced
There are gonna be times
-
Not Synced
when someone says
that dream that you've had
-
Not Synced
your entire life?
-
Not Synced
The moment when someone says
that's not possible,
-
Not Synced
it is.
-
Not Synced
I know you didn't get into drama school
-
Not Synced
this time around?
-
Not Synced
But
-
Not Synced
you will.
-
Not Synced
You have the strength to overcome it.
-
Not Synced
And, you can go to the parties.
-
Not Synced
And you can have fun at the parties.
-
Not Synced
But you don't need to do
everything that everyone is doing.
-
Not Synced
You know, ain't nothing wrong
with a Diet Coke.
-
Not Synced
[Laughs] Ain't nothin' wrong.
-
Not Synced
18 year old Emilia,
-
Not Synced
I'm gonna quote "The Sunscreen Song"
at you.
-
Not Synced
I know you know it.
-
Not Synced
"You are not as fat
as you think you are."
-
Not Synced
"There are some women who look one way,
-
Not Synced
and there are other women
who look another way."
-
Not Synced
"Like, a whole other way.
-
Not Synced
And the way that the other women look?
-
Not Synced
People love, because
they look like women."
-
Not Synced
So, when it comes to relationship advice,
-
Not Synced
there's other things that come along
with relationships.
-
Not Synced
You think that they're, like,
-
Not Synced
inspecting everything...
-
Not Synced
you know, and, kind of looking at you
-
Not Synced
in a way of, sort of,
-
Not Synced
that makes you feel uncomfortable,
-
Not Synced
or judged, or whatever it is.
-
Not Synced
Chances are, they are not.
-
Not Synced
Chances are, they are just
-
Not Synced
super happy to be there.
-
Not Synced
You are gonna feel
some serious heartbreak.
-
Not Synced
You're gonna feel, like, some proper...
-
Not Synced
some proper things.
-
Not Synced
And the reason why it's gonna hurt
so much,
-
Not Synced
it's because that heartbreak
is gonna make you doubt yourself.
-
Not Synced
You put yourself out on a plate.
-
Not Synced
And, you bare everything.
-
Not Synced
And, someone says that they --
-
Not Synced
they don't really like that.
-
Not Synced
So, that makes you feel...
-
Not Synced
like you're not worth it.
-
Not Synced
But, you are.
-
Not Synced
And there are lots of people
-
Not Synced
who are going to tell you
that you are worth it.
-
Not Synced
The people in your life
-
Not Synced
when all the lights are off,
-
Not Synced
the real people, who
you really love?
-
Not Synced
Just hug them, like, every day.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so. Parting words.
-
Not Synced
Little Emilia. Littler Emilia.
-
Not Synced
I'm just gonna say that, um,
-
Not Synced
you know, it's...
-
Not Synced
it's autumn right now.
-
Not Synced
Because it's October.
-
Not Synced
But, uh...
-
Not Synced
"winter is coming."
-
Not Synced
[Music]
-
Not Synced
And "wear sunscreen."
-
Not Synced
Love, Emilia.
