It seems now it's longer and longer between times that I come to visit this site...but there is a deep feeling inside that calls me to connect with others whose lives have been ravaged in some way by the religion. This even a few years after leaving it all.
Sometimes when it is quiet, I reflect on how it used to be..how I now live such a different life. Walking away from the religion...there are no words to describe the sense of personal freedom and strength that has followed. Exhilaration at getting to really know myself like never before comes rushing over like a fresh waterfall. There has been, and still I have tremendous pain at losing my entire family and life-long friends. There is nothing like being stripped of everything to show you who you really are...and I love who I really am
Hello to anyone out there who daily walks the journey ...and the religion becomes a distant little town we once lived in..
