my boyfriend asks me a reasonable question of a personal nature. I sigh deeply and tell him I cannot possibly explain how I think and feel on the matter unless I give him a very condensed theology lecture first. he listens, and then asks if that is really how I look at the world. I assure him that yes, it really is. I wait for him to think it’s stupid or inhuman or overdramatic. I ask some probing questions. he actually thinks it’s comforting, or romantic. I wait for him to ask derisively why I have to make everything about God. instead he exclaims how amazing it is that my relationship with him is allowed to be a part of my love for God.

#me explaining my views on Providence. vocation. theology of marriage.#and like iii think that stuff’s romantic.#but I am both a cradle catholic and a Masters holder so I am Theology Georg an outlier and should not be counted!!!!#I don’t expect random twenty-something dudes raised with very little religion to take to this stuff so easily!#I tell you what when the seed falls on good ground? you know it. you’re like holy SHIT that is some good ground #I will still not be elaborating at this time
