  1. when night falls i will follow you and raise the hell from under us drowning the screams of those who wish to push us back lashing back so hard the sun will rise early from the force of our roars. i am not dead today no matter what tomorrow holds i breath now i live now i…win now..

  2. When I look at him I see a dwarf. But I'd never see a small man. His speech sums up the bravery of allowing yourself to fail, and not to fear change or the world, it motivates you to fight it with your bare hands and conquer it. When I look at Peter Dinklage, I see a giant man.

  3. I watched this a few days ago, and I've come back multiple times a day, the message is strong and I feel I can relate to it sooooo much. I will continue to watch this everyday to inspire me. Hopefully I will look back on this post in the future and be able to say I did it!

  4. This year, I've said similar things with writing. I'm going to make a living writing no matter what. I do freelancing for now but I want to write books and stuff. I know I can do it. I've been holding myself back for so long. I'm 35 now and I've wanted to write since I was in high school but my dad hated that I liked writing.

  5. I thought I loved him before, but now I KNOW that I'll always be truly grateful for his words & life experiences that have inspired me❤️😭 Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Peter Dinklage👏🏽

  6. Every since a kid I would sit in front of the tv and watch my favorite cartoons with my friends and my siblings and i would always shout out "Thats me thats me" "I wanna be that person" because i felt a connection to the character which drove me to this day to try to follow my dream to become a entertainer when I think of actoring i get butterflies and my eyes get teary because cartoons and shows and movies was my was out of a rough reality i was living at the moment one day and i truely mean one day there will be a kid watching me on tv or watching a character im playing and say "thats me" until then my dream won't be complete until then i won't quit and ill drive off thoses words and carry the weight as a 16 year old kid i know what i want to do with my life and I'll try my best to accomplish it. One day
