if you are Italian or Irish, a Catholic upbringing is essentially an ethnicity. it’s not something most people (who grew up in the culture) can reject completely even if they don’t believe in God now.
plus, no one talks about how witchy it all is.
literally look at this.

I think this new trend of people pretending to be catholic or whatever is dumb. You can tell who didnt grow up in a religious environment vs those who grew up in some insane godless upper middle class household where one parent was barely present cause they was working so hard to make six figures a year. Religion isn’t some aesthetic for clout, but rather a personal set of beliefs to keep oneself balanced.

With all the quick motions and shocking happenings of the world, I've been taking refuge in the faith I was raised with. Not with a reactionary frame of mind, but searching for the empathetic section of the world I knew when I was younger. Before, I learned about the expansive evils of the world and the contradictory nature of mainstream Christianity and, in extension, Catholicism. I've left the church, but I still visit from time to time, mentally. The teachings of love and justice have given me solace in these trying times. As some rights are being stripped and opportunities limited, my first reaction has been to pray for the people affected. Sympathy is hardwired in my bones, but it's new that I physically get on my knees to recite and conjure a prayer. I've been told I'm having a "come to God" moment, but honestly, I feel I'm falling in love with an idealistic version of Catholicism. Something I can defer to when the logical and the skeptical sections of my mind are overworked with anguish. I feel it couldn't only be me feeling these emotions.
Anyone else?

Slow communication is what I think I was born for.
The fact that people used to still be considered good friends but not know everything going on with each other until they maybe ran into them on the street is so beautiful to me.
I think it really allowed for our internal worlds to develop and flourish while making those moments you share with others so much more meaningful.
Anyhow I’m doing this with my friend who is moving to Kansas and it makes me so happy, I’m buying cute stationary for us. Maybe even a wax stamp maker.
