Isn't it awful how our brains will double-down when we're struggling by heaping shame on top? 🫂 As the saying goes, it's okay to not be okay. (Especially with the state of the world now 😬)

So instead I just feel really angry towards the branch of christianity that I was raised in. I want to embrace what they view as evil because it makes me feel good. So that's why I vibe with satanism, even though I'm not aligned with LaVeyan satanism ideologically. (6/6)

So I've come to feel that even god was real, if the concept of hell that I was raised with was also real, then the only ethically correct thing to do is to rebel against any god that would doom a soul to hell, because that god would be evil. But I don't believe in god. (5/?)

I'm sure more sensible christians don't believe in hell, but it was a pretty core part of the narrative I was raised with. As I've become an atheist over a decade ago, and started to look more honestly at how I was raised, hell feels sickeningly wrong. (4/?)

Like, as a trans woman and an atheist and a leftist, I'm gonna be called all manner of satanic and defying god and stuff like that, so I'm gonna lean into it a little bit. My friends and I might do a satanic ritual or something because it feels good to rebel against christianity. (3/?)

So it feels really good to spit on that religion by embracing a form of satanism. I know not all christians are bad like conservatives/evangelicals, but my experience really taints the whole thing for me. (2/?)

Full disclosure, I'm an atheist with a lot of religious trauma related to being raised in an evangelical christian church.
One consequence of this trauma for me has been anger directed at american conservative christianity, and it flares up irrationally against christianity in general. (1/?)

It's not my kink, but I still follow you! I really enjoy seeing other people really enjoy something, even if it's not exactly for me, just brings a smile to my face ☺️

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling those feelings. I hope you can restore your meds soon. In the meantime, though I don't know you super well yet, you do matter to me! I genuinely hope things can feel better for you soon. It's rough times out there 🫂

Tarot-card journaling was really good for me for a long while. I used to pull a card a day, lookup what it "means" then write about how I thought that applied to my life. It was pretty fun, I should pick it up again! And if you're looking for a specific and fun way to journal, I recommend it.

Ah thanks, I'll suggest using that site together with my friends 😁
I've used this one for my own practice a couple times:

I've enjoyed the hands and feet morpho book, I'll have to pick that one up too though!
How do you structure your figure drawing with friends? Do you draw each other? Or draw a common model or reference image? I might see if some of my friends would practice figure drawing together! 🙂

I'm sorry, I wish I wasn't burned out by being on the computer 8 hours a day for work 😭
