''Let me tell you something about the world.''

"There are many nice people. They'll make you feel loved and respected. They'll enjoy your company. They will want to get to know you and want you to know them.

But people aren't always nice. They don't always make sense. You get used to this reality one way or another.

Look around you-- Some people will look down on you. They'll fear you. They'll make you feel unwanted.

That's the price you pay for being different.

It isn't always that they do it on purpose. Sometimes people just don't know any better.

But you know, it doesn't matter much.

Don't let those people interfere with your happiness. You can't please everyone, and to be honest...why would you want to please those who don't want you to be happy?

Sometimes the hardest thing can be learning to care less.

In time, they'll come around. You'll see.

I'll be there with you."
