austere Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I deconverted on the 2nd of November, 2013. It's been a month. And I can't believe how free I feel. I have so much wonder for the world now. I love life. I can acknowledge how things REALLY are, instead of twisting the facts to suit my agenda. I'm not scared of the truth. And that means I want to find out everything. I'm not scared of sex anymore--I have no plans for it anytime soon, but I'm not scared of it anymore. I now have a huge desire to find out how we got to where we are, and to contribute to making humanity a better species in the future. Yeah, I've got problems, I'm a bit angry and messed up, I still have difficulties, and I'm still closeted and that sucks, but guess what? For all that, I can breathe. I can work through my problems with time. Screw God, give me some of that agnosticism! I am so. Fucking. FREE. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilith666 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Congratulations! Yeah, that high is fantabulous. You can now have lots of creative sex (no more procreation-only rule!), watch porn, masturbate, watch/read whatever you want, swear, spend Sundays being someplace other than church, and explore other spiritualities. I've been out for four years and it's still great. Someday, you get the freedom without the negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balancing your time among work, sleep, family and intellectual, physical and emotional pursuits is a challenge, and can be enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
