Andy BrokawI was just asked if I would mind babysitting one of the cutest kids in the world this weekend while her family does a work thing. Wanted to answer without sounding creepy, so I responded, "Yeah, I can do that," rather than, "GIVE ME YOUR CHILD!!!" #keepitcool #notacreep
I know it's not even remotely the same thing, but I'm sure my feeling was similar when I realized that I didn't believe in (any) God, and hadn't for a long time.
Not because the two things are in any way the same, but the idea of hiding something from yourself. Of finally "knowing" what you already knew, deep inside.
I'm happy for you, friend!
I hope this knowledge allows you to live and love openly and authentically!
