I’m M42.

Yes I agree. I’ve been told this same thing by therapists, my spouse, and some friends.

I don’t know why I can’t do that. I have teenage children. An amazing partner, and a lot going for me.

Making decisions is difficult. Three years ago I left the Mormon faith. I was born into it. My entire world view has been flipped on its head. A lot to unlearn. A lot to learn.

But my decisions don’t just affect me. They affect my children and wife. I’m terrified to “live the life I was meant to live”. I don’t even know what that is or if it even exists.

Anyhow. Thank you again for your kind words.

You're very sweet. I have cousins raised Mormon. My mother's sister married into it. Their live's were hard in our world.

It’s a very traumatic experience. But I’d do it again. I think.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the willful ignorance; naïvety.

Be well.

I'm a nobody, but I think god loves everybody. I personally believe that he only wants us to appreciate the wonder and beauty that he has surrounded us with. That, and to do good wherever we can. To spread love. I wish you well in your travels. I think you already belong to God, and I hope you let his light, love, and beauty guide you. You are in my prayers.
