Although at times it may seem like the world is rejecting you, know that it is ever changing, and there are more and more people who don't, and won't, reject you.

But what's most important is that you don't reject yourself. Obviously easier said than done, but once you can be yourself without worry or shame, everything else feels just a bit easier.

I hope you don't truly think of yourself as a burden, and if you do, I hope that doesn't last long.
