Great encouragement—thank you!
I’ve been working on this for years and have really had to put in the work. You’re right—it’s not easy, but it’s so worth it!
For me, I learned helplessness when I was deeply involved in a religious “institute.” That’s where I was taught to doubt myself, to never question authority, and even who to vote for—the list goes on.
Honestly, that’s also where I learned to judge others if they didn’t think or believe the way my church did. Looking back, we didn’t call it this back then, but it was my first real experience with “cancel culture.” I remember the days of bringing our records (gotta love the ‘80s! lol) to burn🔥—and so many other things that were strictly forbidden.
I’m grateful to have left that kind of control behind. At the same time, I’m thankful that I didn’t lose my love and belief in God. I’ve come to understand that there is a big difference between God and religious “institutions”—they are not the same. And I’m happy to say that I’m no longer the same either, now that I’ve faced and broken through those limits and restrictions.☺️
