“Forgive and forget!” you hear all the time. As a Christian, it’s easy: you just pray it away! Except it’s not so easy. It’s not easy for a non-Christian, either. You hear how important it is for your mental health, but how do you do it?
The first thing to know what forgiveness is not. Forgiveness [...]

Okay, so I know one of the main purposes of my blog is to provide personal insights on the journey out of religion, and I haven’t exactly been doing that lately. Over the summer, my life has improved in so many ways. Life isn’t perfect, but I am HAPPY now. And I am still trying [...]

I am so tired of reading misrepresentations of studies in the news. It causes panic and polarizes people on subjects.
