My personal experience with trying to figure out my beliefs about Christianity, gender and identity told through Asriella's prospective. It's based heavily on real life events and experiences. Myself from the past is represented by Asriella and myself post-self acceptance is represented through Riley.

To clarify, I'm not trying to force my beliefs on anyone. This is simply a retelling of certain life events that lead me to leave my old belief system. I have no ill attentions, I don't wish harm on anyone, and I'm not degrading anyone who believes differently than me. Actually, I left my beliefs because as a teenager because I found them personally to be harmful to my life. I'm aware of the fact that you can be a Christian and not believe in some of the things that such
characters teach.
These were my personal reasons for leaving my faith and finding out who I was. I hope that's clear, thank you for reading.
