I made a uQuiz to figure out how you would fall if you were an angel. My credentials are that I am gay and my mom was a pastor.

Jesus can always reject his father But he cannot escape his mother's blood He'll scream and try to wash it off of his fingers But he'll never escape what he's made up of

growing up being taught and believing:

A) that god loves you more than anything, unconditionally, and

B) that you are a dirty sinner who is unworthy of his love,

creates a nasty cycle of “sin”and “forgiveness,” where we internalize our own unworthiness until we become worthless to even ourselves, which catholicism praises as humility.

sometimes this self-hatred is so ingrained into brainwashed catholics’ minds that they begin to view acts of self-love as acts of selfishness.

shoutout to everyone forced to go to church, church events and/or interacting with people you don't want to.

you are not "failing to stand up for yourself" if you can't say no. I know how terrible it is to balance the harm of going to church, etc, and the backlash if you don't.

you are not a failure if you are an adult living with a toxic family. Not at 18, not at 19, nor 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 + !!

you are not a failure if you are an adult living on your own but can't go non-contact yet

you are not a failure if you are a minor and are not as "brave" as you wished to be, or believe you won't be able to move out at 18

you are not a failure if you moved out and had to go back. No matter the reason!

whatever your situation is

you are not a failure

don't victim-blame yourself
