#church was Really good today

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

I was at church for three hours and I am now ready to sink into my bed for 24 hours.

I kind of hate how just because I don't subscribe to any religion or believe in any specific god, people assume that means that I *disbelieve* in god(s)

I simply don't have much reason to think about whether or not there's a god, besides when I just want to enjoy some good old philosophical/hypothetical thinking or conversations.

Like people will hear I'm not Christian and go "how come you don't believe in god?" like no, no you misunderstand me. I don't NOT believe in god, I just don't believe in *your* god. And if your god is real, then it changes nothing about how I'm going to live my life. The Christian god is an ass and not someone I'm going to worship. I'm just gonna spend my life trying to do good, and if your god doesn't like that, then he's not a very good god, is he?

sometimes, sometimes, all you need is someone a few years older to you telling you your situation is completely normal and that you'll make it through because they've been through it themselves :)

As a Catholic, sometimes I forget that other people aren’t.

I’ve been Catholic my entire life, and I think it’s served me well.

Today my coworker sighed heavily and I asked if she was okay. She said “Yeah, I just hate this place.”

I responded, “At least you’re getting money!”

“Not enough money…”

It gave me pause. Obviously, the minimum wage to cost of living gap is fucking insane. But oftentimes I can cheer people up by looking on the bright side. It didn’t seem to quite work in this case.

“At least it’s…more than nothing,” I tried again. “But I’m sorry you’re struggling.”

“I think everyone is struggling,” she responded. “It’s the sign of the times.”

Once again, it gave me pause.

Because I’m not struggling.

Of course, I have struggles. But I’m not struggling in general.

I opened my mouth to respond, but I had to close it again, because I knew she didn’t want to hear what I had to say.

What I wanted to say was this: “I have faith the Lord will make everything turn out okay.”

But I couldn’t say that. So instead I agreed. “Yeah. It’s hard.”

It’s difficult being so faithful in a world that’s so faithless. I can’t imagine not trusting or believing in God. He is the reason why I’m not struggling. Because I know that I can rely on Him.

This post is NOT to call anyone out.

This post is meant to spread hope.

If you’re reading this, I simply want you to know: Someone loves you. I love you. Someone WILL be there to help you, to hold you up. There is no need to worry.

Whether that person for you is God, or someone here on Earth, or even someone through the screen you’re reading on, remember that someone does and always will love you.

TW: death, religious trauma

We were talking about the rapture in church today

And its put me in a really bad mood. Because I remember when I first heard of the rapture

It made me think I deserved to die

And even though I don't think that now. I can't hear about it, and not feel bad about myself

I'm glad I don't think that anymore. But I wish it bother me so much

I see things a different way now. Including which religion I follow. Which is now much more ambiguous

Next week we'll talk about it again. And I really don't want to hear about it.

I've thought about maybe leaving and going to bathroom. And then coming back late. To skip most of it

But I don't really know what I'll do

I just really hate hearing about it

genuinely these panels are going to make me ugly cry

Dear pastors, you already have a mic. There's no need to shout into it. You sound like Funtime Foxy when you preach o(TヘTo)

goodnight pretty boy

[asinglesock]

oh no, I sure hope I don't get accepted to work this full time sub-minimum wage position that I applied for. That would be terrible. Sure would be a shame if I got it.
