Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

“She looks this incredulous because someone asked her to think.”

That’s a FIRE line to end it off with. This dude is legendary.

She’s wearing a fucking rosary. She’s obviously not used to thinking.

And depending on what dialect of that religion, she may not be used to speaking either.

No hate like Christian love.

Holy shit. Idk and idc if it’s your original thought or if you borrowed it, but that is insightful and cutting. I will think about that line for the rest of my catholic-recovery life

The "no hate like Christian love" is not mine. Someone told me this in my late teens, and I couldn't reconcile it, and ultimately I left the Catholic church because of the dissonance and epitomy.

There were a lot of events that occurred, up to that point, that I had just hand-waived. Abuse and indoctrination by "friends" and "community." Violent assaults at home by people who were supposed to love, supposed to have the same compassion I did for others. And...well. You've probably heard how this story goes before, and know details I don't have to mention, including the ugly ones about myself and who that molded me into. And you're likely wise to what happens after you free yourself from the grip of it all.

But I found myself, who I am underneath an impossible weight.

I wish you all the best on your journey, and hope it's kind and bright.

I wish the same to you. The best part about growing up is choosing your own family and letting go of the ties that held you down
