In their own words 9
, God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I'm proud of myself.
I don't give a damn what people say about me. I like me the way I am, and who cares what other people say?
Sometimes I was sad, sometimes happy. Just on and off. Always I felt welcome. It's just, you know, sometimes as a human being, you cannot always be happy.
