“Larper! Oh, YOU are a “Christian” now. What a sham.”

Okay, so ouch lol

I guess I will add this to the lovely collection of ugly messages I’ve received lately. I can save them for a rainy day when I’m feeling too good about myself and need to be humbled. Someone explain to me how trolls on the internet can so accurately sniff out vulnerable spots in our armor? That phenomenon should be studied.

All joking aside though, they’re right. I am currently larping so hard and hoping it sticks to my messy soul. The changes I’m making don’t fit in any of the boxes I’ve made for myself over the years. Which in turn, has left me feeling like a poser. Christ-like love isn’t my modus operandi. Believe you me, I would much rather tell you to F off than pray for you, but lucky for you, I AM trying.lol Morphing into something new is never easy and it’s certainly not comfortable. It’s also exponentially harder when miserable people go out of their way to put a floodlight on the areas where you’re not getting it all right. For the record, this is very new territory for me. Some days I do good and other days I fail miserably. But I am here and I am trying. Heyyy! It’s a bit of a compliment really. The way I see it is, you can’t look like a poser if you stay stuck in what’s familiar forever. So, cheers to the brave ones out there who are boldly wearing their growth on their sleeve.

Pose your way to healing. I’ll be right there with you.

Love now, everything else later.
