I miss you. I miss the times we had. And the time we could have. And the new thing is that I am missing, something that burns horribly deep down is… us. That you forget that I am your friend, no matter how far the distance. I can’t always text you. I can’t swim through the ocean. I can’t see you. And what I do is and I want you to know that, I think of you every single day, every second day I look through your facebook pictures or remember the day when we took the one you still keep as your main profile picture for as long as you’ve been gone. And I hope you know that you’re in my heart and that you may change as much as you want, you stay there and I love you, K.
| Pastor: | Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin. |
| Couple of older males in the audience: | Amen! |
| Pastor: | Now, wait, I'm not finished. |
| Pastor: | You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce. |
| -uncomfortable silence- | |
| Pastor: | There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned. |
| Pastor: | Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce. |
| Pastor: | We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel. |
| Pastor: | The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know. |
| -the pastor shifts a few notes around- | |
| Pastor: | The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage. |
| Pastor: | So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way. |
I want to reconnect so fucking badly with the part of me that knows how much I am worth, that knows how many talents I have, that knows that I am no stupid person, that kows that I am lovely although my head inflicts so much pain onto my soul at times.
You want something… for years… and you wait for it patiently… and then you get it… and experiencing the moment of truth, that what you wished for turns out to be wrong for you… or it turns out to be the right thing. Talking about now, I was right. I was exactly right about what I wished for and what I needed, it was the same thing, exactly the same wonderful thing.
