(no subject)
Had a chat with a friend yesterday evening. The topic of religion came up, and she shared her ideas of Christianity and the bible, and I spoke of my "awakening" when I was 18, and the years that preceded and followed. It seemed she couldn't get off the idea of selling me on the "having faith" bit, and seemed as though she was trying to convince me. This is obviously not a close friend, my sister's lover, but I wanted to respect her opinion all the same.
I've really come to realize how much religion fogs things up. It gets in the way of spirituality. It places someone else's rules in the middle of me and the divine. I -am- the divine. I am you, and you are me, and we are God, the divine, or the source. However you wish to put it, we are all connected little fabrications of the divine. And as such, we have the ability to tap into spirituality at anytime. I need not visit a church to be spiritual. Religions are exclusionary, and segregated. They divide when the purpose is to combine.
I've had another awakening, more of a realization, and things are becoming clearer for me. I feel very comfortable in the person I am. And I fear not what lies inside of me. The world be so lucky to see all that is inside of me. I'm so very lovable =)
I hope you're not holding your breath, you're going to drown waiting for me. You deserve something different, something that can fill those gaps. My puzzle pieces simply don't fit. I realize more people read this than I had originally thought. But with all that in mind, I still need to write things here. Some will be very dark, very private things, some will be things you don't want to read. My only suggestion: don't read them.
This is my release; an output for all the things in my life that don't merit vocalization. It shall not be diluted for acceptance sake. I know I'm going to hurt a few more people before I'm done here. I just hope I can make it up before I finish.
