“This world is full of so many possibilities. Every living thing has an entirely unique experience: the sights they see, the sounds they hear, the lives they live are so complicated and so simple. I can’t wait for you to join them…….I need you to know that every moment you love yourself, that’s me loving you and loving being you.
Because you’re going to be something extraordinary. You’re going to be a human being.”
Look at how this scene is blocked. Rose is speaking directly into the camera. Yes, she is talking to Steven, but she is physically speaking to a vague and undefined audience. Anyone watching this scene-whether it be Steven, Sadie, or any of us, are looking directly at her as if she is speaking to us personally. Rose is not only speaking to Steven. She is speaking to every last person watching this episode.
Now think about what she is saying. EVERY creature lives a beautiful, unique life. Regardless of what happens in it, simply existing is a wonderful experience. Loving yourself for exactly who you are is an incredible thing, and it connects you to those who love you because THEY love you for exactly who you are too.
Rose Quartz just validated the existence of every living creature on Earth, including YOU. For all of those moments where you don’t love yourself, remember that. Remember that no matter what you are struggling through, there is nothing more wonderful than being you.
