“Grief is quiet. Grief is a strangled cry. Tears we hide. A scream in a vacuum where sound doesn't carry. And though we try to share it, grief is ultimately a burden each of us must carry alone.”
― Shaun David Hutchinson, The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried

“I was just a confused kid who’d learned the vocabulary of being gay from a world that hated fags.”

“When I am walking down the street, men lean out of their car windows and shout vulgar things at me about my body, how they see it, and how it upsets them that I am not catering to their gaze and their preferences and desires. I try not to take these men seriously because what they are really saying is, “I am not attracted to you. I do not want to fuck you, and this confuses my understanding of my masculinity, entitlement, and place in this world.” It is not my job to please them with my body.”
― Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body
