What are you fuckers reading now?

I'll check it out! You've never recommended me a bad 'un yet.
It's killing me in the best way, and I'm so pissed with myself for putting it off for so long. READ IT.



"Did I get lonely? Of course, but those bouts of loneliness passed quickly, and I could always find comfort in my own company. Alice told me this is a strength that many people don’t have. The need for conformity and for the attention of others can lead to a life of misery. I knew that half the people I taught with were simply going through the motions instead of actually living. So, I allowed them to judge me, and I judged them in return."

"I didn’t know how to put into words, how to make him understand, that the decision had been made for me. Somewhere in the echo of time, the universe had decided that happiness of a certain kind was not to be mine. I would have to find joy elsewhere."

"I’m fifty-six years old and I stay alive because my eighty-seven-year-old mother tells me she can’t watch another child die. If it were up to me, I’d be home in my bed, waiting for the dark."

"Ben never did get back to Nina or Boston. He stayed because of me. I owe debts to so many people, debts I know I’ll never be able to pay, and it weighs on me. People have given me their time, their love, their bodies, their secrets. And I’ve given so little."
 
I’m currently reading a nonfiction book about the Clare nieces of King Edward II of England.

Country Queers
Short form interviews of queer folks living their lives out in the rural country side.
Very much enjoying this as a queer trans folk. At times it gets lonely being away from so many other people on the spectrum, so reading this has helped me not feel so alone.
