Short Story Response; "Three Mondays in July"

In the book "Am I Blue", I read a story called "Three Mondays in July". This short story was about a young boy who was unsure of his sexuality, but in the time that he lived he thought it better to keep this unsureness to himself. When one day he met a man named Allen who had the same questions that he did and he gave the boy named David some advice, "Just remember one thing - You're not alone"(24) i think that this is some of the best advice that another person can give to someone else when they are unsure about something in there life that is life changing. When David had thoughts that he might be gay he thought that he should keep it to himself because he thought that he was the only person that would understand, and that everyone else in the world would see him as a weirdo or something. When Allen said to him that he was not alone in the world, and that other people had some of the same feelings that David was having, i think that David began to feel a little more comfortable with himself. i think that because david thought that "he had a sense of fulfillment, of profound satisfaction...and maybe for the first time he didn't feel so alone." i think that this story is very powerful in the sense that there will always bee someone out there who understands what you are going through, and that everyone needs someone who supports them and is there for them when they need them the most.
