If I had actually read the post I would have known this is a knowledge test, but I saw uquiz and immediately thought "lol which pasta am I?" Needless to say I was disappointed when I received a grade instead of my pastasona.

I worked so hard on it I even added descriptions to the answers
I thought suffering would make me beautiful. How catholic, how cathartic. Martyrdom, to die in blazing glory.
But it enduring pain only made it bigger. It seemed everlasting.
I thought it would make me less of a burden. Less human. More saint. And all saints are loved, and respected by all they sacrificed.
But no one remembers saints these days.
To be a sacrifice slaughtered by my own hand became so unfulfilling. It became dull, and pain is excruciating.
These days, I wonder what it means to endure, and what I want to endure, and why should life be made of painful endurances for me. Why I deserve punishment and nothing else.
These days, I want to endure joy until it breaks me, enough for me to reach into myself, remove the roots of the weeds that have spread all this hatred inside me, enough for this joy to be planted into my heart, and hopefully it will grow in me. Hopefully I can help it grow it others too.
I want love for all people, myself included, to be the only thing I ever endure.
I got to marry my wife, and our pupper was our flower girl. 2.5 years ago this wasn’t possible, as it wasn’t legal in Australia. It rained our whole wedding day, but was so worth it in the end with our phenomenal photographer.
Shout out to exmuslims who are often left out of posts about religious trauma support because that blogger was afraid of being labelled “islamophobic”, who are told their experiences were invalid and that “true islam is progressive” by the Woke crowd because any proof otherwise would challenge their narrative that only cultures dominated by white people can be harmful, who are still suffering trauma as a result of their religious upbringing.
You don’t deserve to be treated as invisible by people who claim to fight for justice. I know I dont often makes posts about exmuslims, and its because my main experience is with christianity, but I could do better. Exchristian apostates need to remember and support our exmuslim apostate friends 🧡
💖Reblog if you are Kenough💖 (you are)
Update:
So we are on speaking terms. The elders aren't pushing too hard about meeting or formally disassociating because the CO (their higher up) was visiting at the same time. Despite all their freaking out they contact me like nothing has changed now.
I plan to leave things like this for now and am glad I can still talk to my younger brother. Curious to see if things will change as I'm more honest online.
I finally moved out and told my parents I was leaving the cult. Moving was fine i suppose but the phone conversation explaining my stance was much more emotional than I expected.
My parents aren't the type to question their beliefs so I wasn't going to put effort into explaining myself, but they kept pushing. They had preconceived notions that I was just bitter or foolish and kept poking only to have me explain how their bigotry made my life hell. My dad tried to play off the slurs and awful things he said as jokes only to have to come to terms with the fact that I grew up feeling unlovable and disgusting because of him.
Now I'm waiting for them to decide if they ever want to talk to me again. They're crushed but still miss the point. Rather than realizing "homophobia bad" they took "we did homophobia wrong". While I can't say I wanted to spill so much to them, I'm happy that they have to live with what they've done.
being mutuals is like we’ve never talked but i saw your vent post and do you want me to kill that person for you. still won’t talk to you tho bc that is scary sorry. love you
I'm healing my religious trauma one devil horned piccrew at a time
So basically like the title says I want to know if there’s anyone who’d want another megamind movie. So please just reblog, because I’m just curious as to see how many people actually would want to see that.
kids who werent raised christian being like "lol baptising children is whack if they tried to do that to me i would start doing things to make it look like i was possessed" no you would not. you would bask in the pride and approval coming from the adults around you and you would quietly wait your turn because you were told from birth that sinning sends you to hell and baptism is The Promise that youre dedicating your life to jesus that youve had hyped up for years and watched other people be fawned over as they cry happy tears about it and you do NOT want to fuck up your One Big True Promise To Love Jesus Forever So You Don't Get Tortured For Eternity when you are literally 8 years old. im begging yall to remember its a thousand times easier to see the church's bullshit for what it is when you're not actively in the church. eight year old you is not thinking about trying to fight back against an oppressive religious group indoctrinating children because You Are The Children Being Indoctrinated. stop acting like you would've magically known better if it were you.
I'm a queer nerd with religous trauma, let's be friends! Icon by @haxxydraws
