Expecting a man to ask conversation-carrying questions is futile. It will never happen. So instead I've been acting like a podcast host interviewing a guest, and dang. Those conversations get kinda deep.

#i've had three separate men begin WILLINGLY TO TALK ABOUT RELIGION #usually they will listen to me talk about my faith and say nothing about their own aside from the obligatory 'i'm not really religious'#but as soon as i started asking interview-style questions suddenly they want to talk about all of it #'i used to be christian and now i don't really know what i believe'#'i can't reconcile what i used to believe with the reality of the world i live in every day and i feel so empty'#'i believe in something but i have no idea what this isn't all there is'#ouch #this makes me realize how little i listen to people to hear from them and more just want to get to the part i want to talk about #and i guess mocking people for not being interested in keeping a fairly boring conversation going is not the way #because letting them speak and listening has always taken the conversation to a more interesting place than if I'd said my bit
