Ahh Skippy..You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Never ever forget that. As for love, just live your life as you would. Love will find you when it's ready. It just seems to like to play hard to get; it doesn't finally seek you out until you've already given up. Also, never let anyone look down on you for who you are, or on what your feelings on something are. No matter what the circumstance their opinion on what makes you happy is irrelevant.
