I know it is not easy.
I have have known a lot of people who fit outside the box.
What other people think about you means nothing.
It is just words.
The only power people have over you is the power you give them.
I learned that a long time ago.
Be who you are and be happy.
in the end you are the only one that can make this happen.
Words only have power you give them.
