Heart Jesus Heart Yourself
I was talking with a good friend lately about how damaging religion, specifically Christianity and the church, can be on our selves.

Loving myself was effectively preached out of me.

I was taught and trained to despise myself.
To not lean on my own understanding.
To be suspicious of my own heart.
And to not trust my gut... my feelings.

I was worthy of death then punishment, in that order, and I should just be grateful God hasn't struck me down yet.

But it's interesting to me that loving Jesus... (whether Jesus was real or not is immaterial because it was about him as a human being)... was the beginning of my deliverance away from all that and into a healthy self-love.

Did religion teach you to hate yourself?

Have you healed from that yet?

Do you love yourself now?

The Knoxville Poetry Slam is a fun, welcoming environment for poets and lovers of poetry to gather and support each other.

I have been attending the monthly gatherings at Central Cinema for about six months. https://t.co/usSAbbmJAn

Sharing your story can be one of the most powerful tools to cross the divide that seems too vast to navigate, building a bridge that crosses the divide and encourages reconciliation. I believe it is the building block of any good relationship. https://t.co/VkpAKRISjl

My first BIG love happened, as it does for most, in high school. He was a friend of a friend, he was a senior when I was a freshman. We knew each other in a passing way, it wasn't until my senior year's homecoming night that we met officially. https://t.co/hGeQ88Xhxp

It's hard to be honest with yourself, especially when you know you have work to do. https://t.co/HcuJRRK66A

Anyway, I thought I would share a few of my more humorous online dating encounters. Let me preface this by saying, the names have been changed to protect the guilty. https://t.co/q7utvfzY4b

So, I can’t help but laugh when I think about what it is like to be dating at my age. When I first began this journey, I took it to heart when someone didn’t return my like or made a rude comment about my size, my hair, or just my profile in general. I so https://t.co/EM8FEEgVe8

I have often described Andy’s passing as the event that shattered me. I felt like someone had taken a baseball bat to the full-length mirror that was my life. The force of the blow exploded my world into a million sparkling pieces and left them at my feet https://t.co/m01EDCJdtl

In this world of dry texting, monosyllabic chat, and single emojis that drop into our social media comments, text messages, DMs, and even video chats, does true communication even exist anymore? When the most you can hope for is short terse answers to que https://t.co/DCa1LJBMRZ
