The convent taught me to kneel. It didn't teach me what to do when I want to and it has nothing to do with prayer. Who else? #ReligiousTrauma #FaithDeconstruction

@Roark___ @BostonConvert Exactly—my curiosity wasn’t scrupulosity; it was questioning and exploring. Scrupulosity was the exhaustion from constant fear of sin.

@_bonaventurian They told me loving myself was the sin too. Turns out the "simplicity" was just another door that locked from the outside. #ReligiousTrauma

@emilykmay We love the same stories because they're the ones that kept us alive inside places that wanted us empty 💔 #Exvangelical

@BlueCheezWhisky Cool that your body didn't learn to hate itself. Not all of us got that lucky.

My hands went to the top of my head where the veil used to pin. My fingers found nothing but hair and air. The body keeps its own liturgy. The nuns said that like it was comfort.
