Hello everyone, Thank you for your concern, I'm doing well. I've decided a while ago to move on from this, though I'm contemplating posting academic writing. I've really changed for the better and have appreciated the supportive role everyone here has played during the hard times in my life during COVID and the year following. I just want to say thank you for everyone supporting me then. As you can see by my profile pic and background, my faith is very important to me. Since I began here, I've grown in my relationship with God and have had a much more fulfilled and happier life. It's really amazing the transformation that took place in me in just 4 years. I'm not here to give myself all the credit or to raise myself up as a saint. The credit and glory is due to God alone. Truly, kowing Jesus as a friend and confidante has been life changing, as I experienced His love, humor, peace, and healing. If you're reading this and aren't convinced of theism, I can't convert you, only God can. I do not hate or look down on you. For me, rational arguments, historical evidence, and my experiences convinced me. So, I've taken the approach that sharing the Gospel with others begins by my way of life, which is the most effective means of sharing it. What inspires conversion and faith is seeing Jesus Christ made present in fallible people. As St. Teresa of Avila put it, "Christ has no body on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassionately on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours!" Really, being Christ on earth is to be Love itself. To those I've injured by word or action, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. If there is anything you would like me to pray for, please let me know. I'd be glad to. As for me, please pray for me in the discernment of my vocation, my family, world peace, Pope Francis, & the Church. Pax vobis, Matt

Glad that you are still okay ever since your discord is gone and to be honest, I really like your story to the point that I'm thinking of a fanfic on it for a few years
