5 Minute Freewrite: Redemption

Redemption
This makes me think of religion, which makes me think of how I used to be a Christian. It's funny how wholly that defined me from a very early age until I was in my early 20s. I went through a difficult period, coming out of Christianity. Difficult emotionally, more than anything. I felt unmoored, like I didn't know who I was anymore. It was fascinating to come through that and realize that I hadn't actually changed much at all. I had never really been defined by my Christianity. I was defined by aspects of my personality that I attributed to my Christianity, but they were all still me even without the belief. I was still kind. I was still thoughtful. I was still positive. I wonder, sometimes, about positivity. I do still consider myself to be a positive person, but I think I am also becoming more cynical. I find it harder and harder to believe that I will see some great changes in the world that I hope to see (the end of capitalism, huge shifts that prevent or reduce the impact of global climate change, that kind of thing).
And that is time.
Here's a sunset pic I took. Some would say God had a hand in this. I would not.
Never know how the world will become considering it is governed by imperfect people. Anyway, enjoyed reading your freewrite.
I'm so glad you got a story in on today's prompt. Excellent job. 👍👍 See you tomorrow.
I feel the same way many days and have to kick myself out of that feeling. I have struggled so much to keep my podcast going because I feel that I am telling people to do small steps so we all can have a future and the powers ruling over us give our national parks away, allow unlimited pollution, put freaking pipelines through holy land and, and, and.
I don't get it. We all are going to suffer - rich or poor - if we don't get our shit together.
Anyway. I hear you!
Yeah. It's tough to believe our own little part makes a difference...I believe it does, but also that individuals are not the ones really causing harm...it's the big corporations. Which is why I will do what I can to help end capitalism.
