I’m not sure what to call myself anymore. I absolutely in no way identify with the conservative, evangelical way of thought that I was raised in. But I love Jesus and what I believe he stands for. Anyone else in this boat? How do you continue being a Christian (in whatever capacity) when much of the church of America has grown so hateful?

Sometimes I wonder why I wasn’t more honest with myself and willing to explore both my own thoughts/feelings as well as other ideologies in college, but then I remember that: 

1) I went to a university that very much tried to shut down professors and students who didn’t stick with their conservative ideals. Professors were asked to resign for supporting LGBTQ+ students, and they practiced (and might still practice) mandatory conversion therapy for those students.

2) My closest friends were also extremely conservative and closed minded. Once when I was broken up with I called my friend in tears, trying to express how upset I was, and told her that I had slept with him and so felt betrayed and guilty. All she had to say was “I feel sorry for you,” like I was now ‘ruined’.

So yeah thank god I moved out of the country and met people from all different walks of life who made me feel comfortable with the exploration of so many things.

Super interesting to me that so many people I know who are throwing fits over the target bathroom decision didn't give two shits about victims of sexual assault or rape until they could use them to be hateful and discriminatory. But that's none of my business. 🐸☕️

Today I was thinking of how awkward that I used to be in high school and I remembered that there was once that I had to make this video for French class and I had no friends to do it with and so I made a video by myself using hand puppets instead. That was sad but having to play it for the class was 2043891508 times worse.
