Removing yourself from shit that repeatedly triggers your mental health and hurts your heart is top tier self-care.

You are not a bad person due to your intrusive thoughts.

I take care of my flowers and my cats.

So I think I might join the Quakers?

The Quakerism 101 teacher: *Reads about Margaret Fell snapping in the middle of a church service that George Fox interrupted, realizing that the whole thing was bulls***, and peaceing out of the church to join a radical rebel sect that allowed (gasp!) women, poor people, and POCs to be ministers* Me: *Remembers rage-quitting a church service as a teen when they celebrated the 4th of July by replacing all of the crosses with flags and all of the hymns with patriotic anthems that didn’t even mention God, which set off a chain of events that culminated in an exorcism and my eventual conversion to Paganism* I like her. Teacher: Our weddings are really informal. We don’t like ritual, and the wedding is really more like an official recognition of a match that’s already been made. There’s no preacher, because… well, yeah, and it’s usually not much more than a regular meeting, just with the couple up in front of everyone. We don’t even always have vows. Me: *Was part of my sister’s wedding, got freaked that they were paying more attention to the wedding than to the marriage, decided to just sign my own marriage license in our apartment with a couple of witnesses then go out for pizza to celebrate* Um…

Teacher: Most people don’t really do the ‘plain dress’ thing anymore, but the idea was to not worry about fancy clothes because there are so many other, more important things to worry about. 

Me: *Spent years with five copies of the same boring black tee shirt and black cargo pants because “that is one less f*** I have to give in the morning* until it started causing trouble for me at work, and have already been adapting a more professional version of the same wardrobe.* I’m feeling kind of called out rn. 

Teacher: *explains how Quaker meetings work*

Me: So… y’all WANT me to sit quietly and just feel the Force or whatever for an hour? I don’t have to sing, or pray out loud, or visibly do anything? I don’t even have to actually even be Christian??? Just have to be chill, try to make the world a better place, and not be a jerk? 

Teacher: Basically, yeah.

Me: …
