> There is so much goodness when you leave, of course. That makes it all worth it. I have found that the integrity of embracing reality is much better than even the most comforting lie. But often, freedom feels a lot like loneliness. A lot like being on an island.
> You mourn what was thought to be true but never was and never will be. This grief is normal and healthy, if you befriend it. It's the evidence of how true you were then and how true you are now. A god may not have shown up, but your grief is proof that you were always fully there.

Can I interest you in a little exvangelical novelette, featuring opposites attract, a bi man, a woman discovering her inner strength, a second chance at love, found family, nineties vibes, and Canadianisms?

Relatable quote from #ShinyHappyPeople that doesn’t just apply to fundamentalism and cults.
“We had this power the entire time over the people who were hurting us. It turns out, as much as they tried to control us, we were ultimately what they most feared, and all we had to do was talk.”

The reason fundamentalist fathers are so restrictive and protective of their daughters is because they’re afraid other men will treat their daughters the same way they have treated other women.

@kyleford I'm not *precisely* #exvangelical but I'm pretty damn adjacent. And I'm definitely into the whole #deconstruction aspect, though partly owing to its fascinating doubled word play with #Derridean deconstruction. #JacquesDerrida
