[ it's a long letter, but Jeremy's not impatient, he sits and reads and takes his time and absorbs every word on the page. it's true, there's always someone worse off, no matter how bad it gets. while it doesn't invalidate his own problems and what he went through, it just puts things into a different perspective, and other things are easier to hear from someone who knows what to say - nothing like "cheer up, it'll get better," or "just try to stay positive!" or "you should smile more!"
he really hates that one.
everything else though, painful as it is to read and imagine what a life like that must've been like, how much worse everything had been and can be. there's still the same messages in it that he intends to trim out and cover the bathroom mirror with, and he still appreciates the effort that Izzy's going through just to try and drag him out of his shell.
but then there's more similarities. the mention of a rebellion is one. not having a tongue or the ability to speak is another one. so he wonders, and he agonizes over whether or not he should ask it considering how it's only made things since his arrival to the Meadous ... but it ends up in Izzy's inbox regardless. short, and to the point. ]
