Thanks Chelsea. I needed this right now. My BF's candle is burning bright right now and struggling in her shadow. I need to remember there is always space for me.

[Patch-Steele]

as someone who is not a young woman, this advice is good for anyone.

I love her and love this message!! I showed my daughter and told her there is always a place for each one of us!!

[TeresaBenson]

We need more people like Chelsea in this world. This woman is my idol because of what she believes in and how she stands up for what she believes in.

[MrLasveguinhas]

I absolutely love what she said, shows that she's very honest and loving to those people she has feelings for. Forget this Jolie nonsense, guys, this is so stupid.

[alexmha]

Wow! This is one of the best things I've heard Chelsea shared throught the years. Great message, I love when she puts herself in that candid and reflective sense.

This is so good! Sisterhood is what it's about- supporting one another and remembering just because another has doesn't mean we can't also have. THERE IS ENOUGH! Thank you Chelsea <3

Ah I can really relate!!! Last year one of my closest friends suddenly told me face to face (worse than phone!!) that she was pregnant (hadn't been trying) and I was so overwhelmed with sadness, extreme jealousy and frustration because I had been struggling to get pregnant and had gone through a recent miscarriage. I had all those thoughts too, "Why her? She already has a great life. Why is everything so easy for her? Why can't I have a baby? Why is this happening now? It's so unfair!" And I also hated myself for feeling that way, I knew I should be happy for her but I just wanted to cry and stay away from her. 14 months later, she has a baby boy and I have a baby girl - it all happened in good time. I really did learn from those emotions I felt.

I really needed to hear this. Truly amazing

[dianaofwhales]

For a young woman trying to figure her life out, this is very motivating. Any time I am feeling discourage, I will always go back to this and be reminded that everyone is different. Growth happens at a different pace and one day that hard work will come. Thank you, Chelsea! You are truly amazing.

Chelsea needs to do some sort of unplugged special because I really wanna get to know her on a more practical and day to day way since I admire her and all that she does so much. Love you lots, Chelsea!

[JoeyCamasta]

I watch this CONSTANTLY when I need a pep talk.

[rumorady-]

Good advice Chelsea, I love you! Keep up your good work!

[lucialopezgonzalez]

I love this woman, and her values!!! Go Chelsea!

[sierra]

Surprisingly good advice (for anyone, really, not just young women).

[leojanuszewski]

This is so touching. No one is more oppressed than the white suburban American woman...and she overcame! ✊

[lyndahchocker]

Very timely for me.
This is very beautiful.

[emercycrite]

Wow. This was so unexpected. You go Chelsea.

I love Chelsea calling her sister. I love Chelsea's sister telling her it's okay to be jealous. To have bad thoughts. To feel how you feel. But don't act on jealousy. This is why Chelsea isn't just funny from an original point of view. But American Creative Royalty.
