This video was made, more than for the contest, to help someone. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day.
I thought the contest was so ironic. My last year was so difficult that I never thought to do a video about it. But I did. This may surprise some of you that talk with me, but the true is that this video was my last year.
I had all the reasons to give up. All the reasons to die. One year ago, I lost everything. I lost my friends, my mother, my land. I was now leaving with a man that I almost didn´t knew, my father. And I had nothing.
Everything that was important to me, I lost.
But destiny know to be cruel, and some times has a evil humour. Today, my life changed completly, for much better.
The video is very self-explainer, so I don´t think I have much more to say. It all beggins few days before I leave my mother´s home. No one really wanted me anymore. So I went to live with my dad. I was leaving a huge depression, and all the changes didn´t helped, make it worst, a lot worst.
I tryed to end my life few weeks later. And the only reason why I´m still alive is bacause of my father. He came early to home, and found me.
Everything started to change then, very slowlly. I finally decide to talk with my friend here on Lisbon, in the Christmas night, and I reborn again. I decide to start knowing my father, and I discover an wonderfull man, that today I love more than anything.
Today, I am on college, in the grade I always wanted, and thought never be able to enter. Today, I have friends again. Today, I´m smilling all the time, and being the goofy girl I was after all this. Today, I´m happy.
On this video, I wanted to show everyone that we must have hope. And above all things, we need to SPEAK! Maybe most of people won´t understand, others will think you are just spoiled kid that just wants atention, but out there, in this huge world, will be one person that will listen you. Today, I´m speaking to the world my story, because I promised myself never stop talking.
This is my story.

Video Information:
Song: Everything Burns
Me: Melinda Sordino from Speak, Jessica from The Messengers, Bella from Twilight, Em Lewin, Raven-Simoné from College Road Trip, Serena from Gossip Girl, Holly from Thirteen, Claire from Heroes
Father: Roy from The Messengers, James Porter from College Road Trip, Noah from Heroes
Mother: Denise from The Messengers, Hoyce Sordino from Speak, Tracy from Thirteen
My Best Friend: Blair, from Gossip Girl

I grab the story from Melinda Sordino, the girl that didn´t want to speak, and with many crossovers, I made my story.

I want to dedicate this to my father and my best friend. If it wasn´t them, today I wouldn´t be here. Today, I wouldn´t consider myself a winner. Thank you so much for never doubt of me, even when I did. Thank you so much for listen me, for making me believe again in me. Thank you so much for loving me, for care about me, and to save me from the deep darkness of the depression.
My story had a happy ending because of you.

  • Wow. Your video is so great. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad you made things change for good.

    I wish I could speak to my friends about all the things which happened to me. I just don't know how to ....

  • Speak. Just tell them. I understand perfectly what you are feeling, and as u can see on the video, in the beggining i heard horrible things, lot of people didn´t understands.

    I´m glad that happened. ´Cause some people told me amazing things to. And I understood who were really my friend.

  • You just need to start. Then, you will se the words won´t stop. In the end, in my cause, I felt exausted. Tyred. Wanted to sleep. But a lot better. And in the next day, and today, and tomorrow, i keep speaking

  • This video is so amazing and so is your story. I can't get enough of this video. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was the voiceover that said "Look, we all have bad days" from?

  • Of course I don´t mind! The voiceover is from Prozac Nation, I can´t specify very well, but it´s between the girl of the movie and her friend. Thank you for your comment =)

  • Hi hunnie. This video made me cry, because I feel really in touch with you. My mother is the most important person in my life and I don't want to lose her,but she has an illness and she will die(I hope not) That's it. You're very courage to show this story,probably if I've to vid mine I would cry like a child.

    Wish all good things darling

    Kisses

    Sarah
