- Echo -

Use your voice - say what you mean Do not stand in the shadow Do not become an echo of someone else's opinion We must accept ourselves and each other Even the perfect diamond may have cracks and faults 16.03.2014 A-L Andresen :) * Giorgio A. V. - Contest :) (2th in the contest)

What an inspiration - we all need to be assertive and stand up for what we believe. Thank you for this piece encouraging people to be fearless and be themselves. Have a great day!

It must be in the accepting of each other's flaws that you bring in the cracked diamond. Not entirely certain how this relates to asserting one's truth.
