        When people laugh at you because of the way you you are. Just ignore them because it is God who made you the way you are. Otherwise, what can you do about it? Just ignore them.Believe in yourself and never give up! I have been inspired by an Angel!

        Why are you different? Because you are so unique and there is no one like you in the entire universe. You are powerful and adorable. May your Creator be honoured!
