It has been almost six years since I started this blog to practice writing and process my decision to leave my established life and ultimately my faith and find that things have turned out okay. I would hope that I will never have to go through that kind of a mental vortex ever again. My fear was that my choice for my happiness was going to be used against me. That some evil fate or retribution was waiting right around the corner at every step I took toward this freedom, but it never did. I now see that I can be happy just by being aware, knowing I am good, there is nothing to be guilty about.
Life wants to give me life, happiness and all of kinds of goodness. Now I live on my own, with a partner who hears me, loves me, supports and protects me and bottom line, respects me and that is why this works. I continue to trust and respect myself as well.
