the fatigue that comes with fighting for your right to exist as yourself and enjoy what you want to never really goes away, but it's very rewarding and you can meet a lot of friends who are cool and awesome

there will always be people who want you to think and do things for reasons that don't track, and it's sometimes really hard to discern if you're actually doing the right thing, but if you take a step back and really look at the situation it's always a little easier. as one of my favorite youtubers always says: love with your heart, use your head for everything else.
