That you've already done so much searching is awesome--and know that you'll probably ALWAYS search, even as you get older. You are just *you*--and as long as you're trying to be the best *you* you can be, and that by being your best *you* you can make others' lives a little more bearable...well, who could ask for more than that? :)
Keep up the good work! :) Thank you for being brave and putting yourself out there like that! :)
