Kind person payed for the books that I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise so I have a better way to deal with my at home situation
I made a post about an at home situation that's happened in AIO. I got a lot of feed back and to be fair from this particular person I didn't think they we're on my side, which is fine cause I needed all opinions to know if I was over reacting or not. Alot of comments came in about me needing to just read and that'll solve my issue of not having anything to do. Well I have read and all my books have been read more then once cause I've been bored. On top of that my mother refuses to buy my the books I want cause "I don't need them / I don't want that in the house" which is her way of saying you can only read books if all the characters are hetero and have hetero sex. I'm a 16 yr old trans boy who just wants to read books about people like me and in my community and my mother though she's "Supporting" tends to be homophobic and transphobic at times. I love her to death though and she's a great mom. This situation has had me very unmotivated to read and now it basically feels like a protest where I stopped reading and getting books cause of her rule. I later got a dm. I opened it, recognizing the name from the comments of my post and found that they had sent me a way to cover the cost of and order the books that I've wanted, as well as telling me how great I am for dealing with my situation. I was in tears of joy and I'm still so happy! I plan on paying this forward as best as I can too since I can't pay them back directly. Now I'm going to order myself some nice gay books lol! Thank you stranger ❤️
