Not all things that fall down break. Some develop wings.
The entire quest is for acceptance. You run from pillar to post for being accepted as you are. This quest ends only when you realize that the most important in life is to accept yourself totally, wholly and completely. Unfortunately, that is a long drawn process and it takes time to reach that level. However, once you reach that stage, you are at entire peace with yourself.
Don't dream, for the moment you begin to truly dream, you know that there will an upsurge in energy levels and you are going to cross the oceans of all difficulties, build pathways in the air and reach your destination!
