Boop!! Also which is your favorite Mass of the year to attend?

I've had the privilege of participating in various liturgical services across different churches and rites. Among them, the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Church stands out as my favourite.

there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.

All I did today was attend church, work out at the gym, and listen to Hozier; it was a fulfilling day tbh

Agape love manifests itself in the compassionate act of gently wiping away the tears of those who were the cause of your own tears
