My mother....is sad. She actually cried on the phone. It was a mess. I had no idea that this would be such a big issue but when she said "You're leaving the faith" I knew that she was being completely irrational. I'm not becoming Hindu. I'm becoming Baptist, a denomination of Christianity just like AMEZion. Most parents wish their child would go to church at all much less join one. She stays with the "you're doing this because its something I don't want you to do" line but I want to be a member of a church that loves me back without me having to hide a huge part of who I am. She often overestimates her importance in my decision making. I thought about how she'd feel exactly 0 minutes when I decided to join the church.
I'm joining my church because I want to be a member of a place where I'm growing where I'm going and I'm accepted completely. That it!
T minus 7 days!
