I am not sure if anyone has seen the ad for the 2017 Grammy awards, but I will put it here.
In case anyone can't watch, I will explain it here. In this commercial, a bunch of young girls are reciting Taylor Swift's Grammy acceptance speech. Each young girl has something different and unique about them that they bring to the table. For example, the girl in the beginning is looking in the mirror with makeup and a costume, it seems that she longs to be an actress or someone famous. Another girl is playing the drums, and another basketball. Different young girls, with different hobbies, all of different races and looks all reciting the same speech that is meant to inspire them to chase their dreams.
And personally, I think it does just that. It is heartwarming, and it makes you feel inspired, that no matter who tries to tear you down, if you believe in yourself you can do anything. It doesn't get to political, it doesn't try and shut down other groups of people for not supporting you, it just teaches you that you are the only person you need in order to make your dreams come true, and nothing is truer and realer than that.
"But if you focus on the work, and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know, it was you." That brings tears to my eyes, because it is telling young girls, young boys, everyone really, that if you have a dream and you work hard and believe you can achieve it, you will. Taylor Swift was an inspiration in this speech, and the little girls who are each doing something different that defines them are an inspiration here as well.
"And the people who love you will put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."
If you believe in yourself, you will not fail, and you will accomplish your dreams.
I hope you are inspired by this, and I hope you are ready to make the world a better place wherever you find your passion. I hope this commercial makes you tear up, or gives you chills, and motivates you to be your best self, and if it doesn't I hope you find that from somewhere else, I hope one day you know that it was you.
