'To This Day' is simply incredible. Somehow it manages to tackle the topic of bullying whilst still maintaining the ability to encompass an exquisite level of creativity, sadness, vulnerability and hope. I watched it by chance, having had no idea what it was about. It shook my heart in places I didn't even know existed. I have great respect for the guy who wrote the beautiful poem (or in other words, the voiceover behind the video), Shane Koyczan.
It was difficult to choose, but I have to say that my favourite quote from 'To this Day' has to be this one: 'If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror. Look a little closer. Stare a little longer. Because there's something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.'
