"Absence of food...provided me w/control, the knowledge that no matter how much my mom hated her gay son, I could hate him just a little more. My disordered eating spoke for me, giving voice to a hunger I could never quite articulate...yearning deep down in...my heart for affection, for acceptance."

SoniaC Yes the news today was heartbreaking. I can't believe someone so young write that. Highly impressive. 8y
misswendyd @SoniaC I've known Thomas from GoodReads since he was fifteen, and he's always been one of my favorite reviewers. Just a wise and sensitive soul. 8y
SoniaC @misswendyd sounds like this young man is an old soul. 8y

Arabiatta This quote was a punch to the gut. It speaks volumes to how crueler we can be to ourselves than the world. 8y
