I only ever went to confession Once… There was a short period of time where my mom was trying to get me and my sister to believe in God, which was strange because shes not even a practicing christian like that … but whatever. It didnt work. but now that I think about it like.. Confession is such a good idea . Maybe in theory. But Think about it. Just you and some shadowy figure separated by a wall. and you have to memorize some prayers. Idk which ones. But like . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ??? Shit we did I'll never tell

It’s free to do and feels sick as fuck. Most churches are attempts at recreating this experience.

When I “didn’t believe” in God, and hated everything about the “God concept,” I started silently asking for help in the morning, and saying thank you at night. I had no belief, or faith, or anything other than a semi-open, but still mostly closed, mind. Over time, it became the most important part of my life. Prayer is something that can only be understood through the act. If you want to try it, do it every day for 2-3 weeks. You can make the prayers longer if you want to, or do a pre-written prayer, like the Saint Francis Prayer. Worst case scenario you’re just talking to a wall. See what happens.

With all the quick motions and shocking happenings of the world, I've been taking refuge in the faith I was raised with. Not with a reactionary frame of mind, but searching for the empathetic section of the world I knew when I was younger. Before, I learned about the expansive evils of the world and the contradictory nature of mainstream Christianity and, in extension, Catholicism. I've left the church, but I still visit from time to time, mentally. The teachings of love and justice have given me solace in these trying times. As some rights are being stripped and opportunities limited, my first reaction has been to pray for the people affected. Sympathy is hardwired in my bones, but it's new that I physically get on my knees to recite and conjure a prayer. I've been told I'm having a "come to God" moment, but honestly, I feel I'm falling in love with an idealistic version of Catholicism. Something I can defer to when the logical and the skeptical sections of my mind are overworked with anguish. I feel it couldn't only be me feeling these emotions.
Anyone else?

About a year ago my friends and I started a list of funny things for us to name our Sims. It very soon spiraled out of control when I gave a bunch of friends access to it. It’s currently over 70 pages long and is home to names such as “Alexis Lexapro,” “Gooey Baddie,” and a personal favorite “A Boy Named Filo Dough” . In an alternate universe they would make really good iCarly penny tees. One day I’ll publish it as a book or a website that generates a new name everyday.

Even though I live in New Jersey at the moment I’m lucky to get all of the New York radio stations because I live close enough. i have a radio/CD player in my room that has been playing nonstop since October of last year. I go to sleep with it on, but at a really low volume so it can add some depth and dimension to my dreams. My favorite station is 107.5 WBLS. in my opinion it’s one of the few stations that doesn’t keep playing the same songs over and over… there’s something different to hear every day from that station and I think that’s great

There's a certain kind of stigma that tiktok stars face when releasing music but Addison Rae beat the odds. She has the capabilities to be a main pop girl . I hope she releases some of it soon, as unlikely as that may seem . But lately that has been the soundtrack to my life especially while I was on tour . When I say every song. Every chorus. Every line. Every word. Every syllable. And I took it personally
