Quiip!

Tldr for this long thread. I tried everything to follow the church and still hated myself for just being human. Leavong the church let me realize how manipulative it was and genuinely feel so much freer, and lets me just exist as a person

I kinda hate to whole christain religion for a lot of reasons but I can admit that it does give community for people and does some good for alot of people. I personally just believe its deeply manipulative and kinda gross and not for me or many other people

What really helped was developing the thought of "any reasonable god won't care about rules if you try to life your life the best you can and won't hate you for loving someone."

I was stuck in it for so long because of that phrase "a natural man is an enemy of god". I couldn't really just let myself be human because that was "sinful" and I needed to move past the indulgences of the flesh and become exalted or whatever.

Its hard to express how much of my life and thoughts were consumed by the thought of being addicted to pornography. Just being horny was a sign of failure to be fought against. It was genuinely so freeing to not care anymore and be able to feel feelings.

The moment I really realized I was not addicted was when a therapist was a lot more casual about my usage and treated it like a normal thing (cus it is). It took awhile but eventually I kinda stopped caring and was able to just use it when I want to and not think about it so much from my day to day

Believing i was addicted to pornography genuinely led to so much self hatred and honestly made me obsess over it much more. I would email the bishop weekly if I made it through the week without using pornography or not and felt like a failure if I used any.

Ended up telling the bishop of our church (just a guy thay worked in like business or whatever) that I thought i was addicted to pornography since the church brought it up so often. Dude had good intentions but like he had no psych backround and I believed him when he agreed that I was "addicted"

Speaking of therapy lmao. It took multiple doctors and therapists telling me that I did not display any signs of addiction when it came to pornography use. I had no idea what horniness was, so I convinced myself it was temptation from the devil itself lmao.

Eventually, I realized how disgustingly manipulative that was and kind of stopped going. It took alot of therapy (I honestly probably still need some lmao) but eventually I was slowly able to fully leave.

Being in college let me take a step back and I started to feel a bit better. But in the back of my head it was drilled into me that "leaving the church might make you feel better at first but you will never find true joy in worldly indulgences" and "the natural man is an enemy of god"

Time to make a long thread lmao

Had so much self hatred and depression for not feeling the same "warm fuzzy feeling" and draw to spread the gospel. They promised "true joy" for following the church, I tried to follow everything and was still poor and depressed.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

I genuinely dont know how people can separate art and artists. I can get coming up with your own interpretations on a piece. That's one of the wonderful things about art. But like the creator, their beliefs and actions are just inseparable from their work and often recontextulizes the piece so much

my mama is a luminous goddess and I love her very much!!

Thumbs, a 3-panel comic: 1. A tiger sits up alone on his bed, looking at his phone. 2. “It was real nice seeing you again tonight. I haven’t stopped smiling.” The Tiger wrote. He then receives three responses that seem like gibberish. Someone struggling to convey their thought. Auto-correct clearly failing them. But the tiger can understand the message. “I like you, too.” 3. A wolf sits alone on his bed, looking at his phone. Struggling to hold the device in his two dog-paw hands. Without thumbs, he can only nap his screen to text as best as he can. For the first time, he feels understood. —— There once was a wolf, believe it or not,
With floppy grey ears and a snout like a blot.
But what made him so strange, if you count all his claws,
Instead of two hands, he was born with two paws
