throwawaylalalalajne: OK, so my family is super religious, especially my mother. She wants me to be religious too, but I’ve become a bit disillusioned with religion. I know this would kill her, simply for the fact that she’s a refugee and her reliance on a higher power has gotten her through all of her struggles and strife without even a lick of PTSD.
She’s a single mother also and I just admire her so much for getting to where she is without any help. I just don’t think I’d ever tell her that I haven’t been praying five times a day or even thinking about God in any way. It would kill her.
