I will say this for evangelical christianity having someone hand you a list of things to say think believe and do takes a lot less mental and emotional energy than figuring out the world and yourself on your own
Yes! Exploring tarot/folklore/seasonal myths is part of my creative & spiritual practice now, and it’s just so FUN. Like, wow, I’m not actually spontaneously combusting from exploring my interests. Who’d a thunk.
Yes to this! And one thing I love is that, while the certainty technically saved mental energy, it caused so much cognitive dissonance, making the brain space it saved work out to not that much. These days, I'm curious and ultimately have more brain space.
i would never want to change anything. the person i am today has been fought for (by myself, sometimes against myself, sometimes in spite of myself). i'm relatively happy, mostly well adjusted. the only thing i would really love to change is the amount of money i earn, but i want to do that on my own terms too.
