I am a white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant from the United States and I am so tired of white, Anglo-Saxon evangelicals telling people what they can do or not do with their own bodies. Also, I grow weary of them making life really, really hard for LGBTQ people who did nothing to bother them. Their brand of morality is intrusive and goes against life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My goodness, no one asked them to get involved in the private lives of others. This is not being a good neighbor in the sense of live and let live. What happened to freedom in America?

Being Happy Or Something Like That, A Sunday Reflection
Happiness is a deeply personal thing that is so fluid and dynamic. I haven’t been truly happy for a long time. Sure I have had moments of joy but nothing long term. People worry about me because I am not full of happy awesome sauce right now and I appreciate their concern. Don’t worry about me. I am not suicidal or anything drastic.
The year 2019 took a lot out of me and I don’t know when my emotional tank will be full again. I suppose it takes a year of recovery to get over a year of hardship, emotional stress, and the death of my father. I am very much a work in progress. People who go through this come out different on the other side and I can accept this.
Believe me, I am grateful for all the support. It’s going to take a while. Being my old self might not be what is in the cards.
