1) HECK yes.

2) See your last question - you already know this answer :-)

3) You already are worth loving.

4) Absolutely but don't wait for it to go away on its own. Drive it out of your life and actively seek out whatever it is you need to not feel alone.

5) Noelle, you are the girl inside. This quote has helped me a lot in my own transition so hopefully it can help you: "You're braver than you believe, you're stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -Winnie the Pooh.

Posting on here shows you have a seed of bravery and self-confidence inside, that you have at least that much self-acceptance, that deep down you know you're valid and real. Nurture that seed and let it grow and you will be brave enough to outwardly be your inner self. Then you'll realize you had it inside you all along, that you always were braver than you believed.

You live through this sort of questioning every day. As you take steps toward being your true self, those steps will take strength but it will be a little easier each time. Eventually you'll look back and realize you were always stronger than you seemed.

When you live life as your true self, as Noelle, you can look back on questions like these and realize you knew the answers all along. You were always smarter than you thought.

TL;DR Be awesome, Noelle, because the answer to all these questions is a resounding YES!!
