There Is So Much Joy In Life And Food

there is so much joy in life and food

Tw queerphobia and religion and the like

Happy Pride to my queer Christian siblings. I know it's hard. I know it hurts.

Happy Pride to all of you, wherever you are at in your journey, whether you are living out loud, or spending every night in tears begging God to take away the gay. I've been there. You are not alone. You are not a unicorn.

I know what it's like to spew hate to stay safe, feelin that hate cut my own gums like acid, I've broken down in tears wondering why God allowed me to struggle this way.

Start your journey. I can't tell you where it will take you. That's between you and God. There are books about gay Christians who've wound up on both sides. Read them. Two I would recommend are "Single, Gay. Christian" by Gregory Coles and "Torn" by Justin Lee. They are both about this culture war between the church and the LGBTQ+ community, that we are particularly torn between, each author winding up having opposite views about how queer Christians should live and what the bible says about it. Also, this should go without saying, read your bible, do your own searching, don't let someone else tell you what it says.

Also this is not a secret to take to your grave, it will just put you in the grave sooner. Find someone you can safely tell. Be careful who you pick, not every one is safe, even if you're "not practicing," but for the love of mercy and grace find someone. Whichever side of the fence you wind up on there ARE others like you. Find them. Support each other, what you are going through is different than what cishets go through, which ever side of the fence you wind up on.

To all of you struggling with your bodies, keep going. You will never regret choosing to live. I love each and every one of you 💛

Nothing hurts quite like watching your loved ones enjoy delicious food that you'd do almost anything to eat while you starve and envy them and your stomach churns, empty with acid and consuming itself.

You don't want this. No one should covet Anorexia Nervosa, or any ED. They are pain and suffering and misery. Get out while you can. Get out before it's a disorder and no longer a crash diet that you started just to lose a few pounds. It's not worth it.

Fight. Please. For those of us who know nothing else anymore, fight for your life. Because if you don't fight, the only way out is a slow and painful death. Please don't give up, it's never too late but it does get harder and harder the longer you suffer. Get help.

This is what I mean when I say love is beautiful. Straight or gay, it's all love.

I know exactly what I want from season 3 but I am afraid because I know whatever Same gives me will kill me dead. One-shot K.O. Sniped. Shot from the hip. I'm not ready for him. I need it so bad.
