i hung out w my roommate and a couple of her friends last night and it was fun but it was a little surreal they were just... so different. from me.
#every single one of them has gone on a mission. and are now out of the church (kinda)#ppl not living in utah may not understand this but there is a phenomenon that happens to me a lot i think maybe bc i attract ppl who are#in the process of leaving the church#where you will talk to someone and ask them if they're mormon and they'll go 'well.... im kind of figuring that out right now'#and i have had this exact conversation a million times and it's very strange bc they're in a phase of cognitive dissonance with the church#that i went through at like 13. so i relate in a way and i know it's part of the process but it is strange seeing adults go through that bc#it's a very different experience#like when ur talking casually abt drinking and smoking weed and having sex and then get uncomfortable when i say 'oh my god'#just strange. i think i need to remember to be patient abt it but it's so weird seeing people kind of cling to the idea that they are still#somehow connected to the church when they hold no belief in the doctrine and don't follow a lifestyle that's conducive to it at all#but i get it. it's scary to let go#separation can be a terrifying thing... etc
