So after I wrote that entry yesterday, I found this video on my YouTube feed. I swear sometimes the little internet spirits really do get things right when they creepily spy on everything I say, look at or write. I thought her points are incredibly eye opening. I have known religion is a problem for me for a long time, but it's been hard to articulate WHY. Watch the video. That's why. I'm starting to think MOST of the problems women face are rooted in patriarchy.
What she talks about is EXACTLY my struggle right now. Of course I feel like I'm disappearing in my role as a mother! How can I not? I formed my entire personality and psyche around this religion. Omg I feel so much better having some framework of an answer now. Now I know what to start pushing back against in my thoughts. Just really amazing analysis. Thank you for this, internet spirits!

Non-FictionI decided to make a space to rant, discuss, review and just get things off my chest. Please note that mental illness and addiction are things I live with, so this might be triggering to some. I'm holding nothing back.
