Recycling some good advise.

Always be yourself. Never try to hide who you are. The only shame is to have shame. Always stand up for what you believe in. Always question everything everybody tells you. Never regret the past it is a pure waste of your time. There is a reason for everything; every mistake every moment of weakness, every terrible thing that has ever happened to you. Learn from it. Grow from it. The only way you can get the respect of others is when you show them you respect yourself. Finally do your thing and never apologize for being you.
And remember it is none of your business what other people think about you. So don't ever make it your business. Instead just spend your time loving people. It will be time well spent.
