I know this is the blog "Things that make me smile" but today something happened and I need to get it out.
I got a call from a
sister missionary stating that one of my close friends had given her my number
because i was in a place where i needed to get "help" or whatever.
Normally a call like
this wouldnt have bugged me, but in high school she was my friend she accepted
me for me never pushed her religion on me and i never pushed my beliefs on her.
Since high school
I have moved further away from any and all religions, and i know she knows. She
was always the one best mormon friend I had that never tried to convert me. I
feel betrayed for lack of a better word. She gave my number away knowing fully
where I stand on this religion issue. I posted these lyrics on facebook:
"And
following their rules is such a God foresaken bore,
Now I say God because I'm programmed,
But I believe in none"- The Noose Tech N9ne
Now I say God because I'm programmed,
But I believe in none"- The Noose Tech N9ne
And I think
that contributed to her wanting to "help" me. But thats
honestly how I feel. I am me, i believe in what i believe i do what i believe
is morally right or i try my hardest to be the best Gabby I can be.
I think the reason i
feel most betrayed is that she knows me, she accepted me for who i am
and what i do, but now she doesnt. Am i a worse person? what happened where all
of a sudden being me isnt good enough. Why cant people accept me for me. I
think Im a decent person I think how i want to live my life is just fine. I
have an AMAZING husband who loves me for me, the bestest of friends who remind
me almost every day that they love me.
I dont know how to
even bring up to her how upset i feel that im not good enough the way i am, or
that how i feel by having her betray me and give my number to a missionary. I
understand she just got back from her mission and is getting temple married and
is very up on her church i get it but it still upsets me deeply.
I have no problem
sharing my religious views with anyone, if they ask for them. Im not going to
spew what i believe and why to strangers, i dont need to explain myself. All
anyone needs to know is that i am agnostic, meaning I dont know what i am, i am
discovering myself and where i belong. Some religions i know 100% i
dont belong in. But I want to figure it out by myself, not have someone push me
in the direction they want for me
I would really appreciate some feedback on how to handle the convo with my friend and what to tell the missionary when she calls again.
