I realized yesterday that most of the things that I was warned about in Christian elementary school are things that I do or have done. And quite frankly, I”m not the evil fucked-up person they made the person who does these things out to me. I lost my virginity before I got married, and I would definitely sleep with someone else, I refuse to remarry before I’ve lived with someone, and I’m getting divorced. I don’t have the slightest problem with homosexuality or transgendered people. I listen to all sorts of crazy music with all sorts of unholy lyrics. I smoke and drink regularly, and get drunk sometimes. I do drugs, not hard drugs of course, just pot, and I love it. I have a tattoo and plan to probably get at least one other. I gamble occasionally and I can curse like a sailor. I’m sure there’s tonnes of other “bad” things that I do.
BUT….
I like myself a lot more now than I ever have, and I am happier in general than I have been most of my life. In total, I feel like I am a much better person now than I was when I believed in all that other stuff.
Ironic?
