This was soothing and beautiful to read, thank you for sharing. As a church girl, one of the beliefs I’m committed to unlearn is that God doesn’t love me less if I skip Sunday service, He just loves me and loves the way I keep Him first in everything I do.
This really spoke to me. I'm not someone who grew up in the church in any way, but the reflective question at the end made me think about how my own personal growth has led me to understand (and slowly be okay with) that there are spaces that can no longer hold the shape of me. And that it's okay to let go, to move into new spaces that give me the flexibility to stretch out, try new things, and flex my newly formed muscles! This was such a timely read for me, thank you!
This was stunning, Josefina. I saw myself in every line. The wounds we carry from places that promised safety especially faith spaces are the ones that take the longest to name, let alone heal. Thank you for your honesty.
I love this piece. I haven’t been following long but I’m so glad that I’ve landed here. I feel so seen and validated through your words tone and softness. It’s beautiful on you thank you for owning that and showing up in such a raw and vulnerable way.
How timely this is. Thank you for sharing. I’m currently living in a tender space as well. Your words are a balm. My word for this year is uninhibited. Being free on every level. Healing can be painful but it encourages us to slow down & take care. Bless you!!!!
