"what i wouldn't give to be in church this sunday"
growing up in a harsh, pressuring religious home under the weight of being a minister's child for years is something i would hardly want to wish upon my worst enemies.
straight from the get-go, without warning, you're coerced into things you hardly know the extent to.
i'm so, so tired of my life not being my own because of the awful people i've had to live under that's warped any concept of faith that could ever be grasped.
religion itself is fascinating, and it's incredible and very beautiful what stems from it, but making it so that the belief is mandatory is hardly a way to live.
everyone's life is their own and the path they choose is theirs as well, it hurts to see people exert their power over their children and make them so close-minded, "protecting" them.
i cannot wait to break free at last & stop having internalized things that come from an awful upbringing cloud my thoughts & mind.
there is a light that i sometimes see, yet it is just so out of reach.
