Je bent een deel van het geheel
Wanneer je omhoogkijkt naar de lucht, onthoud dan dat je er niet als enige naar kijkt. 
We kijken allemaal naar dezelfde zon en dezelfde maan. We delen dezelfde ruimte en ademen dezelfde lucht. Denk dus nooit dat er niemand is die zich met jouw ervaring kan identificeren. Als je heel goed oplet zal je deze mensen vanzelf tegenkomen en herkennen. Dit zal vanzelf gaan zolang je niet aan het proberen bent om iemand anders te zijn dan wie je bent. Wees je authentieke zelf en je “stamleden” zullen je veel makkelijker kunnen herkennen.

You are part of a bigger picture
When you look up at the sky, remember that you’re not the only one looking at it. 
We all look at the same sun and the same moon. We share the same space and we breath the same air. So never think that there isn’t anyone who can relate to your experience. If you really pay attention, you will undoubtedly find these people. As long as you aren’t trying to be someone you are not. Being your authentic self will make it easier for your “tribe members” to find you.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
