I don't know where to begin!
I guess, maybe with how I felt the connection with both Tanner and Sebastian from the get go. Like, everything about them spoke so much about my life so far.
I have always struggled (still struggling) expressing myself to people, especially my sexuality. It has been quite an internal battle for a long time until I decided to not give a crap about it and just be done with all the drama. However, tough is an understatement. I can't seem to "unmind" the whole thing. I want to be out to people I care about because they matter most to me. And because their acceptance is what I really am looking for. Fortunately, like Tanner, I have an "Autumn" person I can run to. And I'm grateful about it. My parents don't speak about it. They knew. And luckily, it hasn't change things at home. College, however, is a different story. Unlike in the book, my college years so far is ten times worse than my high school experiences. Every human mouth talks about every human body: how they dress, who their friends, who they are dating, is he gay. And I did not have a free pass. And yep, a couple of times I have to endure being asked about my sexuality. Do I really need to shout it out? My being 'Bi' does nothing to them. Just like them being straight or gay or bi does not mean anything to me. I wish people care more about personality or ask question like 'Have you read this book?'. Maybe then the world could be less confusing or boring.
