You were there for yourself. You didn't need that man to give you security. You don't need this man to give you security because you have always been there for yourself.
Yes.
And I think when you forget that, you're diminishing the power and the love that you have for yourself. So if I can encourage you for one thing is that when you leave this stage, I want you to go backstage and I want you to remind yourself of all the times that nobody else was there for you. And I want you next to that, remind yourself how you were there for yourself. Yes. Because when you start to remind yourself how you were there for yourself is the first step of realizing you never have to worry about security because you've always been secure because you've had you. Mm-hmm. I need you to say this. Ebony, say Ebony.
Ebony.
I've always had me.
I always had me.
Say it again.
Ebony, I always had me. I always had me.
And so you don't need somebody who's gonna tear you down, girl. You've always had you.
