Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me.

"I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a
lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. I spent a happy childhood there,
and I was just an ordinary boy. I would look up at the night sky in wonder and
dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the
world. In an intro to one of our early albums, there is a line that says, “My heart
stopped…I was maybe nine or ten.” Looking back, that’s when I began to worry
about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their
eyes. I stopped looking up at the stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried
to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my
own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called out my
name, and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like
this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.
Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I
am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s
me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars
in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I
am, and who I hope to become.
So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I
urge you to speak yourself. I would like to ask all of you. What is your name?
What excites you and makes your heart beat? Tell me your story. I want to hear
your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where
you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself. Find your name,
find your voice by speaking yourself.
I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS. I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town
in Korea. Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life. I have many faults
and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and
I’m starting to love myself, little by little.
What is your name?
Speak Yourself!"

That is the speech Kim Namjoon or RM from the biggest boyband in the world, BTS delivered for Generation Unlimited at the UN General Assembly #YOUTH2030 (New York  24/09/2018). To be honest, every people in their adolescence stage in their life should listen to his speech, even the grown ups should listen. He told us to speak ourself.

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I
am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s
me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars
in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I
am, and who I hope to become.
So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I
urge you to speak yourself."

At that line, I realized that our mistakes made us to the us right now. And every single day, we are a tiny bit wiser. And it realized me that its me myself who made the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. And this show me that no matter what mistakes you made, you are you. So allow me to speak myself.

I'm Naura Diefya, a freshmen in my highscool. Currently struggling in my grades and even struggling in my own life. And hoping tomorrow will be better than today. Thankyou very much.
