Those people, who ridicule you, demean you, dehumanize you, they have no soul, no heart, only fear and hatred. They fear so completely that what they do to others, someday others will do to them. So they drown their fear in hatred and cruelty.
I know what it feels to not belong in this world too. Sometimes I let all the meanness in others' hearts and minds hurt me too. I grieve deeply entirely for a short moment in time. Then pick myself up off the sofa, hold my head up and continue on.
I honor you for the difficult work you have chosen in this life. Yours is real strength, courage and true beauty. Honor your self, in the face of harshness and thoughtlessness. Honor yourself for the kindness and softness of your being.
Much love you have here, with people who are words on a screen, but we are real. We care about you.

We're social creatures. It is difficult to love yourself despite hate from elsewhere.
