第一篇：《擁抱你的內(nèi)在小孩》讀后感1000字

《擁抱你的內(nèi)在小孩》讀后感1000字

原創(chuàng)： 賀賀先生

本周閱讀的是《擁抱你的內(nèi)在小孩》，這本書其實是寫給心理咨詢師看的一本書。它說道，人類的心靈恰如一座冰山，小小的一角顯露在外，龐大的部分卻隱藏在未知的神秘中。呈現(xiàn)出來的痛苦，無論憤怒、委屈、恐懼抑或是悲傷，或許你從來都不曾知道，它們背后隱藏的真正原因。

書中說在成年人的故事背后，一般都潛伏著一個受傷的小孩，童年時在和父母的關(guān)系中體驗到的情感受挫和理想破滅，會在負性移情中重建，創(chuàng)傷是留在心底的拋棄或是背叛，是曾經(jīng)被拒絕或壓抑的沖動的延伸。

這本書我覺得讀起來很難受，很想曾經(jīng)看過得一本《卡耐基大全》，都是和我們講述一個道理，然后舉一些案例來論證它。但是問題在于它給出的這個道理或者看法讀者已經(jīng)贊成了，那這樣看來，這本書是不是已經(jīng)沒有寫出來得必要了呢？作者顯然是將自己得一個經(jīng)歷或者找他求助咨詢的案例寫在了這本書當(dāng)中，但并沒有給出解決的辦法，這樣就顯得很蒼白無力，就像呼吁也只有呼吁。

作者將目前我們在生活中遇到的事情或者一些反應(yīng)一步步歸結(jié)為童年的遭遇，在我這里只能得到三分之一的票數(shù)。哪怕我們歲數(shù)再大，我們的內(nèi)心中依然會有一個小孩，它可能再繼續(xù)否定你自己的本身，或者帶走你的一些自信心。就我自己舉個例子，我童年時期是在我舅舅家度過的，父母不在身邊。我舅舅是小學(xué)老師，同時也教我課程，負責(zé)我的學(xué)業(yè)教育。他是一個很嚴(yán)苛的人，生起氣來很恐怖，周一到周五是不許我看電視的，晚上七點就得回房間睡覺，考試考的不好或者其他令他不滿意的事情還會打罵我。現(xiàn)在回想起來，其實對我成長的影響是多方面的。正是因為他的嚴(yán)苛，我才會養(yǎng)成了讀書的好習(xí)慣，因為沒有電視可看，只有看書。但與此同時，也給我的心靈上帶來了一定的創(chuàng)傷，我從一個活潑的小朋友變成了一個沉默內(nèi)向的人，我不愿意去與其他人交流，我更愿意把事情放在心底。更不愿意去與我舅舅或者長輩溝通，因為我的內(nèi)心產(chǎn)生了一種恐懼感，我害怕自己又犯了什么錯誤，然后挨罵挨打。不巧的是我的初中高中班主任也是很嚴(yán)歷的一個人，所以到了現(xiàn)在，我都不是很愿意和長輩們?nèi)贤ǎ膊恢涝趺慈ズ退麄兘涣鳎@是我所認識到的自己的缺點。我正是有了這樣的經(jīng)歷，來看這本書，可能會更有共鳴一些吧！

說到這里，我覺得已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情已經(jīng)過去了，沒必要再去追著不放。今天一位同學(xué)說的很好，她說愛的對立面其實不是恨，而是漠然，就是你內(nèi)心對一個人或者一件事情已經(jīng)沒有任何的反應(yīng)的狀態(tài)。我想想也是，恨是帶有感情的，說明還在意，而漠然是真的沒有感情了。說到創(chuàng)傷，我首先想到的就是治愈，這也是我為什么喜歡《夏目友人帳》這部動漫的原因。我希望我們每個人的內(nèi)心和世界都是溫暖的，就想夏目里面說的：“我想稱為一個溫柔的人，因為曾被溫柔的人那樣對待，深深了解那種被溫柔相待的感覺。”

第二篇：擁抱你的員工讀后感

常常會聽到這么一句老生常談的話——別將工作和娛樂混為一談。這句話已經(jīng)不能與時代接軌了。

工作和玩并不是矛與盾的關(guān)系。當(dāng)員工快樂覺得工作有趣，工作效率就會提高。我看過一篇文章說，在工作的時候?qū)Ｗ⒑途o張就會總會忘東忘西，反而如果保持愉快的心情，例如邊工作邊哼哼小曲，反而有利于提高工作效率。

如果我們每天上班都是熱情洋溢，不但在自己的崗位上干好自己的本職工作，而且互相幫助，互相學(xué)習(xí)，并且不斷的完善和充實自己，不斷的創(chuàng)新，那任何企業(yè)的明天都會在廣大員工的快樂工作而引發(fā)的動力下，不斷壯大，不斷發(fā)展，獨占鰲頭。勞動者才是企業(yè)的最主要的源動力，這句話不是空談，更不是口號。

隨著經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，各種行業(yè)之間的競爭愈演愈烈，企業(yè)也越來越多，一個企業(yè)要想做大，只靠嚴(yán)明的紀(jì)律是不夠的。一個擁有數(shù)萬兄弟姐妹的大家庭，要快樂生活，快樂工作。快樂工作的意思不是把工作當(dāng)游戲，而是對工作充滿熱情，并且以自己的工作為傲，雖然我們只是一名普通員工，也有可能永遠只是一名普通員工，但是能成為大家庭的一分子也是一件非常值得驕傲和珍惜的事情。并且在失業(yè)率只增不減，多個人爭搶一個崗位的今天，我們擁有能讓我們自食其力的工作，我們應(yīng)該去珍惜。只有懂得珍惜的人才會覺得幸福，一味的去和別人攀比的人永遠得不到真正的快樂。我們要熱愛我們的工作，熱愛我們的企業(yè)，要像熱愛自己的生命一樣去熱愛這個大家庭，為她付出自己的所有。

同時，在工作之余，多參加一些活動，鍛煉自己，并且豐富自己的本領(lǐng)，博學(xué)多才總有用武之地，在快樂生活的同時，你就會變得快樂工作，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)你周圍的一切人和食物都是美好的，工作積極性提高了，工作效率也會提高，工作質(zhì)量也會提高，隨之而來的工作崗位也會提升。

在快樂的同時不要忘記保持自信，自信的人最美，自信的人才會事半功倍。

第三篇：那一刻,很想擁抱你情感散文

如果不是因為朋友再相聚，我想我今生都不可能再見到你。你還是原來的你，談吐之間依然幽默風(fēng)趣。盡管我的內(nèi)心是多么激動地欣喜，也必須得裝作平靜的走來走去。這一刻的我，就真的是在努力演戲，看不出任何破綻，完美落幕，失落結(jié)局。

如果不是夜的提早到來，我想我不會那么快想念。我想你，你總是不打一聲招呼的，就出現(xiàn)在我的夢里，自由自在，來來去去。替我編織著無數(shù)的甜蜜，讓我覺著自己可笑至極。

如果不是你，我哪來那么多無語。多么想和別人一樣，和你一起開著玩笑，一塊打鬧，沒有一點拘束，沒有一絲無助。我多么想告訴你，每次，每一次，每一次的一次，我都只能安靜的看著你，偷偷的喜歡你。

這么多年來，我一直不敢靠近你，如果不是那天，我和你只差一點點的距離，我在想那是我唯一一次有那么強烈的心臟撞擊，祈求時間能停止，就想那樣一直看著你。

這么多年來，我對你的感情，是那么深，可能因為喜歡你太久了，不知道得有多久了，習(xí)慣了。你就一直深藏在我心底，沒有任何人能夠代替。只要你幸福，我就會高興。我希望你的未來，陪伴你的那個人能給你穩(wěn)穩(wěn)的幸福，我不會嫉妒與吃醋，我會為你祝福。

其實，那一刻，我很想擁抱你，可是我沒有。

第四篇：”我的中國夢“征文擁抱你,我的中國夢

擁抱你，我的中國夢

野芳發(fā)而幽香，佳木秀而繁陰，風(fēng)霜高潔，水落而石出，這是美麗的中國之

景；在困難面前，眾志成城，萬眾一心，在弱勢群體面前用真心去幫去助，這是

美麗感人的中國之人；當(dāng)鄰國受難時，中國予以物資支持，這是美麗撼人的中國

之事。作為一個黃皮膚黑眼睛的中國人，我們?yōu)樵?jīng)繁榮的祖國而驕傲，更為明

天更加昌盛的中國--我美好的中國夢而努力，而喝彩！我想深情地擁抱你，我的中國夢！

一元復(fù)始，常常是夢想開始的時候。

更好的教育、更穩(wěn)定的工作、更滿意的收入、更可靠的社會保障，這些平凡的夢想?yún)R聚起來，便是個人的命運、社會的脈動、國家的方向。十八大將它們寫

入黨的報告，繪成發(fā)展藍圖，定為國家目標(biāo)，過去的2012，這個中國社會進程

中具有標(biāo)志意義的年份里，世界聆聽了親民務(wù)實的“中國好聲音”。這是我們共同造就的夢想。自晚清以來，幾代人泣血追求，無數(shù)人熱血奮爭，莫

不為國家強盛、民族復(fù)興、人民幸福。百年激蕩，三十年變革，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)充滿自

豪，復(fù)興之夢在我們的奮斗中前所未有的切近；也應(yīng)當(dāng)時常自警，歷史的接力預(yù)

示更多責(zé)任、更大挑戰(zhàn)。這是一個孕育著無數(shù)難題、但卻越來越走向富強的中國，是一個日益遭遇成長的煩惱、但又始終頑強向上的中國，是一個背負沉重的歷史

包袱、但卻充滿發(fā)展激情的中國，是一個必須面對各種風(fēng)險、但卻從來不乏變革

勇氣的中國。身處這樣的中國，我們比歷史上任何時期都更有信心完成現(xiàn)代化的使命，更有能力實現(xiàn)民族復(fù)興的夢想。

回望改革開放以來30多年，大體每10年是一個段落，每一個段落又有一個

共同特點：開頭都遇到嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)乃至重大危機，但我們沉著冷靜、把握得當(dāng)、因

應(yīng)適宜，最終都成功扭轉(zhuǎn)難局、開創(chuàng)新局。站在2013年的起點，放眼下一個10

年，處于快速上升期和深刻轉(zhuǎn)型期的中國，有木秀于林的驕傲，也有風(fēng)必摧之的煩惱；有長風(fēng)破浪的自信，也有不進則退的憂患。我們深信，危機是改革的契機，挑戰(zhàn)是成功的礪石，只要我們善于抓住機遇，勇于開拓進取，敢于迎難而上，被

動就會變成主動，后來完全可以居上。

擁抱你，夢想中美麗的中國之景！中國山水聞名遐邇。可以讓人“一覽眾山

小”的五岳之首泰山;擁有無數(shù)奇樹怪石的黃山；地勢險峻的斷塊山華山；滾滾東

流幾千里的長江，“奔流到海不復(fù)回”的黃河……正是因為中國多姿多彩的山山水

水，才讓李煜寄愁于水，吟出“問君能有幾多愁，恰似一江春水向東流”的千古名

句；正是因為中國多嬌的江山，才讓毛澤東感嘆“江山如此多嬌，引無數(shù)英雄競

折腰”。然而現(xiàn)在的中國自然景區(qū)出現(xiàn)了一些亂扔垃圾、為個人愉快而損壞景物的現(xiàn)象，曾幾何時，游人們在景點刻字，就引起了社會的爭端；中國的水土，因

為亂砍濫伐而急劇流失；中國的氣溫，因為汽車尾氣的排放而不斷上升；而最近，PM2.5的出現(xiàn)更是讓國人們恐慌，出門一定要帶口罩，不然怕被污染的空氣危害

到身體。中國的能源，因為浪費嚴(yán)重而面臨枯竭。但只要我們能以尊重為前提去

教導(dǎo)人們保護環(huán)境，夢想中美麗的中國景色一定能夠以絢麗的姿態(tài)呈現(xiàn)在世界人

民面前。在這一次的兩會上，就提出了解決環(huán)境問題的方案，對我們來說就是一

個很好的鼓勵，也提醒著我們要能夠意識到環(huán)境問題。

擁抱你，夢想中感動人心的中國之事。北京大暴雨免費開車送人民的好心人，盡顯互幫互助之美；一女子為殘疾人撐起一把傘，盡顯無限同情之美；在與日釣

魚島事件中，中國人堅定的立場，盡顯愛國主義之美……凡此種種，無不讓人為

美麗中國和美麗中國人而驕傲。就像我們現(xiàn)在H7N9禽流感嚴(yán)重來襲，有我們的同胞收到傷害，但是醫(yī)生人員致力積極研究出治療方案，讓我們能遠離流感。但

是我們一定要相信明天的中國，擁抱明天的夢想，擁抱中國夢，我們會有一個讓

世界萬眾矚目的祖國！

中國，是騰飛幾千年的巨龍，他力大無邊，一定會讓世界為之鼓掌；中國，是浴過火的鳳凰，她堅毅靈動，一定會讓世界為之傾倒；

中國，是14億黃種人的家，每個兒女的心中都一定埋藏著一個振興中華的夢想！讓我們懷著對祖國明天的祝福閉上雙眼，深深地吸一口天地之靈氣，張

開展望未來充滿希望的臂膀，擁抱屬于我們、屬于世界的中國夢吧！

第五篇：擁抱你內(nèi)心的少女 英語演講稿

Eve Ensler：Embrace your inner girl Good morning.I'm very happy to be here in India.And I've been thinking a lot about what I have learned over these last particularly 11 years with V-Day and “The Vagina Monologues,” traveling the world, essentially meeting with women and girls across the planet to stop violence against women.What I want to talk about today is is this particular cell, or grouping of cells, that is in each and every one of us.And I want to call it the girl cell.And it's in men as well as in women.I want you to imagine that this particular grouping of cells is central to the evolution of our species and the continuation of the human race.And I want you imagine that at some point in history a group of powerful people invested in owning and controlling the world understood that the suppression of this particular cell, the oppression of these cells, the reinterpretation of these cells, the undermining of these cells, getting us to believe in the weakness of these cells and the crushing, eradicating, destroying, reducing these cells, basically began the process of killing off the girl cell, which was, by the way, patriarchy.I want you to imagine that the girl is a chip in the huge macrocosm of collective consciousness.And it is essential to balance, to wisdom, and to actually the future of all of us.And then I want you to imagine that this girl cell is compassion, and it's empathy, and it's passion itself, and it's vulnerability, and it's openness and it's intensity and it's association, and it's relationship, and it is intuitive.And then let's think how compassion informs wisdom, and that vulnerability is our greatest strength, and that emotions have inherent logic, which lead to radical, appropriate, saving action.And then let's remember that we've been taught the exact opposite by the powers that be, that compassion clouds your thinking, that it gets in the way, that vulnerability is weakness, that emotions are not to be trusted, and you're not supposed to take things personally, which is one of my favorites.I think the whole world has essentially been brought up not to be a girl.How do we bring up boys? What does it mean to be a boy? To be a boy really means not to be a girl.To be a man means not to be a girl.To be a woman means not to be a girl.To be strong means not to be a girl.To be a leader means not to be a girl.I actually think that being a girl is so powerful that we've had to train everyone not to be that.(Laughter)

And I'd also like to say that the irony of course, is that denying girl, suppressing girl, suppressing emotion, refusing feeling has lead thus here.Where we have now come to live in a world where the most extreme forms of violence the most horrific poverty, genocide, mass rapes, the destruction of the Earth, is completely out of control.And because we have suppressed our girl cells, and suppressed our girl-ship, we do not feel what is going on.So, we are not being charged with the adequate response to what is happening.I want to talk a little bit about the Democratic Republic of Congo.For me, it was the turning point of my life.I have spent a lot of time there in the last three years.I feel up to that point I had seen a lot in the world, a lot of violence.I essentially lived in the rape mines of the world for the last 12 years.But the democratic republic of Congo really was the turning point in my soul.I went and I spent time in a place called Bukavu in a hospital called the Panzi Hospital, with a doctor who was a close to a saint as any person I've ever met.His name is Dr.Denis Mukwege.And, in the Congo, for those of you who don't know, there has been a war raging for the last 12 years, a war that has killed nearly six million people.It is estimated that somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 women have been raped there.When I spent my first weeks at Panzi hospital I sat with women who sat and lined up every day to tell me their stories.And their stories were so horrific and so mind-blowing, and so on the other side of human existence, that to be perfectly honest with you, I was shattered.And I will tell you that what happened, is through that shattering, listening to the stories of eight-year-old girls who had their insides eviscerated, who had guns and bayonets and things shoved inside them so they had holes, literally, inside them where their pee and poop came out of them.Listening to the story of 80-year-old women who were tied to chains and circled, and where groups of men would come and rape them periodically, all in the name of economic exploitation to steal the minerals so the West can have it and profit from them.My mind was so shattered.But what happened for me is that that shattering actually emboldened me in a way I have never been emboldened.That shattering, that opening of my girl cell, that kind of massive breakthrough of my heart allowed me to become more courageous and braver, and actually more clever than I had been in the past in my life.And I want to say that I think the powers that be know that empire building is actually that feelings get in the way of empire building.Feelings get in the way of the mass acquisition of the Earth, and excavating the Earth, and destroying things.I remember, for example when my father, who was very very violent, used to beat me.And he would actually say, while he was beating me, “Don't you cry.Don't you dare cry.” Because my crying somehow exposed his brutality to him.And even in the moment he didn't want to be reminded of what he was doing.I know that we have systematically annihilated the girl cell.And I want to say we've annihilated it in men as well as in women.And I think in some ways we've been much harsher to men in the annihilation of their girl cell.(Applause)I see how boys have been brought up, and I see this across the planet, to be tough, to be hardened, to distance themselves from their tenderness, to not cry.I actually realized once in Kosovo, when I watched a man break down, that bullets are actually hardened tears, that when we don't allow men to have their girl self and have their vulnerability, and have their compassion, and have their hearts, that they become hardened and hurtful and violent.And I think we have taught men to be secure when they are insecure, to pretend they know things when they don't know things, or why would we be where we are? To pretend they're not a mess when they are a mess.And I will tell you a very funny story.On my way here on the airplane, I was walking up and down the isle of the plane.And all these men, literally at least 10 men were in their little seats watching chick flicks.And they were all alone, and I thought, “This is the secret life of men.”(Laughter)

I've traveled, as I said, to many many countries, and I've seen, if we do what we do to the girl inside us then obviously it's horrific to think what we do to girls in the world.And we heard from Sunitha yesterday, and Kavita about what we do to girls.But I just want to say that I've met girls with knife wounds and cigarette burns, who are literally being treated like ash trays.I've seen girls be treated like garbage cans.I've seen girls who were beaten by their mothers, and brothers and fathers and uncles.I've seen girls starving themselves to death in America in institutions to look like some idealized version of themselves.I've seen that we cut girls and we control them and we keep them illiterate, or we make them feel bad about being too smart.We silence them.We make them feel guilty for being smart.We get them to behave, to tone it down, not to be too intense.We sell them, we kill them as embryos.We enslave them.We rape them.We are so accustomed to robbing girls of the subject of being the subjects of their lives that we have now actually objectified them and turned them into commodities.The selling of girls is rampant across the planet.And in many places they are worth less than goats and cows.But I also want to talk about the fact that if one in eight people on the planet are girls between the ages of 10 to 24, they are they key, really, in the developing world, as well as in the whole world, to the future of humanity.And if girls are in trouble because they face systematic disadvantages that keep them where society wants them to be, including lack of access to healthcare, education, healthy foods, labor force participation.The burden of all the household tasks usually falls on girls and younger siblings.Which ensures that they will never overcome these barriers.The state of girls, the condition of girls, will, in my belief, and that's the girl inside us and the girl in the world, determine whether the species survives.And what I want to suggest is that, having talked to girls, because I just finished a new book called “I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World,” I've been talking to girls for five years, and one of the things that I've seen is true everywhere is that the verb that's been enforced on girl is the verb “to please.” Girls are trained to please.I want to change the verb.I want us all to change the verb.I want the verb to be “educate” or “activate” or “engage” or “confront” or “defy” or “create.” If we teach girls to change the verb we will actually enforce the girl inside us and the girl inside them.And I have to now share a few stories of girls I've seen across the planet who have engaged their girl, who have taken on their girl in spite of all the circumstances around them.I know a 14 year old girl in the Netherlands, for example, who is demanding that she take a boat and go around the entire world by herself.There is a teenage girl who just recently went out and knew that she needed 56 stars tattooed on the right side of her face.There is a girl, Julia Butterfly Hill, who lived for a year in a tree because she wanted to protect the wild oaks.There is a girl who I met 14 years ago in Afghanistan who I have adopted as my daughter because her mother was killed.Her mother was a revolutionary.And this girl, when she was 17 years old wore a burqa in Afghanistan, and went into the stadiums and documented the atrocities that were going on towards women, underneath her burqa, with a video.And that video became the video that went out all over the world after 9/11 to show what was going on in Afghanistan.I want to talk about Rachel Corrie who was in her teens when she stood in front of an Israeli tank to say “end the occupation.” And she knew she risked death and she was literally gunned down and rolled over by that tank.And I want to talk about a girl that I just met recently in Bukavu, who was impregnated by her rapist.And she was holding her baby.And I asked her if she loved her baby.And she looked into her baby's eyes and she said, “Of course I love my baby.How could I not love my baby? It's my baby and it's full of love.”

The capacity for girls to overcome situations and to move on levels, to me, is mind-blowing.And there is a girl named Dorcas.And I just met her in Kenya.And Dorcas is 15 years old And she was trained in self-defense.And a few months ago she was picked up on the street by three older men.They kidnapped her, they put her in a car.And through her self defense, she grabbed their Adam's apples, she punched them in the eyes, and she got herself free and out of the car.In Kenya, in August I went to visit one of the V-Day safe houses for girls, a house we opened seven years ago with an amazing woman named Agnes Pareyio.Agnes was a woman who was cut when she was a little girl, she was female genitally mutilated.And she made a decision as many women do, across this planet, that what was done to her would not be enforced and done to other women and girls.So, for years Agnes walked through the Rift valley.She taught girls what a healthy vagina looked like, and what a mutilated vagina looked like.And in that time she saved many girls.And when we met her we asked her what we could do for her, and she said, “Well, if you got me a Jeep I could get around a lot faster.” So, we got her a Jeep.And then she saved 4,500 girls.And then we asked her, “Okay, what else do you need?” And she said, “Well, now, I need a house.” So, seven years ago Agnes built the first V-Day safe house in Narok, Kenya, in the Masai land.And it was a house where girls could run away, they could save their clitoris, they wouldn't be cut, they could go to school.And in the years that Agnes has had the house she has changed the situation there.She has literally become deputy mayor.She has changed the rules.The whole community has bought in to what she's doing.When we were there she was doing a ritual, where she reconciles girls who have run away, with their families.And there was a young girl named Jaclyn.Jaclyn was 14 years old and she was in her Masai family and there is a drought in Kenya.And so cows are dying, and cows are the most valuable possession.And Jaclyn overheard her father talking to an old man about how he was about to sell her for the cows.And she knew that meant she would be cut.She knew that meant she wouldn't go to school.She knew that meant she wouldn't have a future.She knew she would have to marry that old man, and she was 14.So, one afternoon, she'd heard about the safe house, Jaclyn left her father's house and she walked for two days, two days through Masai land.She slept with the hyenas.She hid at night.She imagined her father killing her on one hand, and Mama Agnes greeting her, with the hope that she would greet her when she got to the house.And when she got to the house she was greeted.And Agnes took her in.And Agnes loved her.And Agnes supported her for the year.And she went to school and she found her voice and she found her identity and she found her heart.And then, her time was ready when she had to go back to talk to her father about the reconciliation, after a year.And I had the privilege of being in the hut when she was reunited with her father and reconciled.And in that hut, we walked in, and her father and his four wives were sitting there, and her sisters who had just returned because they had all fled when she had fled, and her primary mother, who had been beaten in standing up for her with the elders.And when her father saw her and saw who she had become, in her full girl self, he threw his arms around her and broke down crying.And he said, “You are beautiful.You have grown into a gorgeous woman.We will not cut you.And I give you my word, here and now, that we will not cut your sisters either.”

And what she said to him was, “You were willing to sell me for four cows and a calf, and some blankets.But I promise you, now that I will be educated I will always take care of you, and I will come back and I will build you a house.And I will be in your corner for the rest of your life.”

For me, that is the power of girls.And that is the power of transformation.I want to close today with a new piece from my book.And I want to do it tonight for the girl in everybody here.And I want to do it for Sunitha.And I want to do it for the girls that Sunitha talked about yesterday, the girls who survive, the girls who can become somebody else.But I really want to do it for each and every person here, to value the girl in us, to value the part that cries, to value the part that's emotional, to value the part that's vulnerable, to understand that's where the future lies.This is called “I'm An Emotional Creature.” And it happened because I met a girl in Watts L.A.I was asking girls if they liked being a girl, and all the girls were like, “No, I hate it.I can't stand it.It's all bad.My brothers get everything.” And this girl just sat up and went, “I love being a girl.I'm an emotional creature!”(Laughter)This is for her:

I love being a girl.I can feel what you're feeling as you're feeling inside the feeling before.I am an emotional creature.Things do not come to me as intellectual theories or hard-pressed ideas.They pulse through my organs and legs and burn up my ears.Oh, I know when your girlfriend is really pissed off, even though she appears to give you what you want.I know when a storm is coming.I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air.I can tell you he won't call back.It's a vibe I share.I am an emotional creature.I love that I do not take things lightly.Everything is intense to me, the way I walk in the street, the way my momma wakes me up, the way it's unbearable when I lose, the way I hear bad news.I am an emotional creature.I am connected to everything and every one.I was born like that.Don't you say all negative that it's only only a teenage thing, or it's only because I'm a girl.These feelings make me better.They make me present.They make me ready.They make me strong.I am an emotional creature.There is a particular way of knowing, It's like the older women somehow forgot.I rejoice that it's still in my body.Oh, I know when the coconut is about to fall.I know we have pushed the Earth too far.I know my father isn't coming back, and that no one is prepared for the fire.I know that lipstick means more than show, and boys are super insecure, and so-called terrorists are made, not born.I know that one kiss could take away all my decision making ability.(Laughter)And you know what? Sometimes it should.This is not extreme.It's a girl thing, what we would all be if the big door inside us flew open.Don't tell me not to cry, to calm it down, not to be so extreme, to be reasonable.I am an emotional creature.It's how the earth got made, how the wind continues to pollinate.You don't tell the Atlantic Ocean to behave.I am an emotional creature.Why would you want to shut me down or turn me off? I am your remaining memory.I can take you back.Nothing has been diluted.Nothing's leaked out.I love, hear me, I love that I can feel the feelings inside you, even if they stop my life, even if they break my heart, even if they take me off track, they make me responsible.I am an emotional, I am an emotional incondotional, devotional creature.And I love, hear me, I love love love being a girl.Can you say it with me? I love, I love, love, love being a girl!Thank you very much.(Applause)
