#random personal stuff #whining ahead feel free to ignore #after a little over two weeks with my family I guess it was hard today to go back to church here and #be reminded how easy it is to feel utterly disconnected for some reason #I have a small amount of friends whom I do very much appreciate #but otherwise it's like going through life in a glass case #which is probably my fault somehow #anyway I miss going to a smaller church (it got assimilated into this huge one)#and I miss smaller more intimate Bible study groups #there are more people around now whom it's not easy to be real or vocal in front of #(including the lady who once asked if I were one of the then-pregnant women and can't remember my name etc.)#and that's not their fault and they have every right to be there #it's just a different dynamic and unfortunately it's one that I haven't figured out how to be comfortable in yet #feeling like you belong with particular people is just really hard you know?#it has to be earned and proven and mulled over sometimes for years #before it's ever even believable #I got assigned a while back to consider why the whole disconnect thing #still drawing a blank #probably supposed to have an epiphany about what I'm doing wrong #if so can it be shipped a little faster because I don't have time for this nonsense

#cant stop thinking about the way my friend looked at me last night during Bible study + worship #we were in a small group together and we all gave prayer requests #and I vaguely mentioned what’s been going on. and it gets me emotional #especially telling it to people who don’t know about it in its entirety #and I was pretty much on the brink of tears #and he just looked at me in the most sympathetic way possible. he looked like HE would’ve broken down if I continued.#like when people write someone having a specific look on their face. a sympathetic or caring or whatever other word you’d like to use #that’s exactly what it was.#and he just met me with a nod and I nodded back but #im just used to telling my girlfriends about the heavy things. but to see him react that way and knowing his heart :/#selfishly I really wanted to hug him.#but he prayed over everyone. he prayed for my situation the LONGEST despite not knowing anything at all #I know this probably sounds dumb but people caring is such a foreign concept to me. it’s something I like cannot accept #but these irls are the best people I know. I love them all so much

speaking of catholicism and being weird about it. i remember when i was 8-10 i scammed a catholic studies club for two years, because if you joined it you'd get a box full of gifts at the end of each year and it was full of stuff we couldn't afford at the time, ranging from toys to stuff i needed for school and even household items, so what i did was i went to that club twice a year (once for each semester) so they couldn't kick me out because i DID participate, i never did my homework and every time the club leader (teacher) asked me a question the best answer you'd get from me was "huh?"

P.S. the teacher didn't like me obviously but like, no one liked her either, even her son i think. he moved from our small village in eastern europe to US and the speed of his instagram changing from being unused to being full of pictures of hot women and alcohol is almost so impressive that i didn't believe it was a guy who used to be called an egg because of the way his mom stiled his hair and clothes in school.

well damn that sounds like a great and effective plan. i should've been doing that as a kid instead of learning bible stories unironically and raising my hand for every question during our church's version of sunday school. i didn't even get toys for it

#or even validation really either :/ nobody ever told me good job for knowing that stuff #nobody told me i was a good catholic... that's why i had to leave. the other stuff is negligible #no fr though cause the way people in religious environments will snap Immediately once given the freedom #idk if the guy you're talking about was like. devout. but very expected for someone who grew up in a strict religious household #and hated it and got Freedom once he was out from under his mom's roof #if he was devout... i mean we've seen what 'men of god' do when left unwatched.#if he was posting on his insta though i assume it's the first dfjksgh #fr though bitches HATE bible studies leaders!#the woman who lead my confirmation classes was widely disliked and mocked by all of the high schoolers she was supposed to be teaching #my best friend's small group used her name in a 'thanks obama' joke throughout the whole two year process #she also stood up Next To Me during a retreat when a speaker asked people to stand if they thought being gay was Wrong. so.#hateable even before that #ask

Idk I'm drunk and I just think that evangelical Christian's' obsession with testimonies is! Kinda fucked up!

#not whatever my other things are #I was so REGULARLY pressured #to air out all my trauma in various bible studies and small groups #and it was very much a contest where we all talked about the worst things that ever happened to us #but how in the end it brought us closer to god!!#so it was a good thing!!! yay bible verses and shit!#god I'm not coherent enough to articulate why o hate this so much but I genuinely hate it
