It is an honor, I thank you so much”, he continued, “The atmosphere that you’ve created here, allows people to feel safe and to be themselves, and I know that in difficult times, it is hard to feel like you can make a difference, and I promise you that each and every single one of you can make a difference by the small choices, the tiny choices that you make every day to be that little bit kinder to someone, to do that little bit extra for someone — it makes the difference”
Styles encouraged his fans even in the darkest times. He advisedly said to his fans to love more, give more, embrace more, and be kind more.
