The Sensitive Minds of Impressionable Young Men (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798809789028)

An honest journey from teenage depression, to self-love within young adulthood.
From the perspective of a sensitive, queer boy, in a small conservative town. We revisit the tough childhood moments that really shape a man's adult brain. Exploring dark themes with a uniquely charming writing style and subtle wit. CIAREN breaks all the conventions of normal storytelling in this gritty memoir.

"As queer people, we're told that we are "unnatural", wrong, and disgusting - even in today's society, it's still happening. All the hate we receive as a child for being "different", really reprograms our brains to hate ourselves - and I did.
It took me 23 years to really love myself. My hope is that by sharing my story, maybe I can help other young gay people find their footing in a world they feel like they don't belong in" - CIAREN, author.
