3. Your religious views.

I have had a mixed-up bringing and the whole thing, in my mind, is to be excellent to each other.
Then once you’ve done that, your whole life and you pass away, you go to a place filled with excellent people ready again for the next trip.

I did believe in god and Christianity. Then I was raped and sexually abused for a few years when I was 13, that sort of tainted my few of Christians for a while. Then my dad was a hardline protestant but never went to church. He hated Catholics so I had to as well. I wrote a high school report talking about how bad they are and the trouble they caused in northern Ireland and it will never be surrendered.
The songs they sing are still stuck in my head from when I was a baby. I still hum them. Then remember what I’m humming and the words along with it and it’s like no it still affects me.

My view on Catholicism changed when I met one at uni and he turned about to be an awesome friend whom I got on well with, he came to my wedding and came to cheer me up despite a 6-hour drive. D is a catholic and for the most part, she is fineKind of proved my dad wrong. Well, way. See his religion allows divorce, hell the whole religion was made up because of divorce. Then catholics you can’t have a divorce. So I married a catholic which would be wrong in his eyes BUT we then got divorced so in the end it equals itself out

Is there a hell? Well, I think the Lucifer TV series’ way of portraying hell is close to what I believe. You are trapped in your guilty memories and it’s played back to you a thousand times and you have to watch it or reenact it. That would be hell. See all your mistakes and have to live with them over and over again.

Religious protestant nut job

Short Story: About you

The reader’s name was Ben, and he had been a fan of your blog for years. He loved your funny and informative posts about all sorts of topics, and he always looked forward to reading your latest updates.

One day, Ben was reading your blog when he came across a post about the importance of having a good profile picture. The post explained that your profile picture is the first thing people see when they visit your social media profiles, so it’s important to choose a picture that represents you well.

Ben was inspired by the post, and he decided to change his profile picture. He went through his photos, and he found a picture of himself that he thought was perfect. The picture was of him hiking in the mountains, and he looked happy and confident.

Ben changed his profile picture, and he was really happy with the results. He got a lot of compliments on the picture, and he felt more confident when he was using social media.

Apparently Self Esteem Prompts

So I’ve looked at Pinterest for the first time and found a few really good tips in there to do with blogging. so figured I’d find one, and give it a go. Ten random questions:

  1. When do you feel good about yourself
    • I don’t really have any, Well not in the way the question asks. If the question means happiest time then I can safely say this: Sat on the sofa, legs flipped over the right-hand side, Curtains close, my D laying next to me and Dobby sat between us. We are watching Polish tv, nas nowy dom, and I have my coffee and vape pipe. I get this warm fuzzy feeling when I get the sporadic love yous and pats on the head. Simple things.

      I feel good that we have food in the fridge, a roof over our heads and we have each other. I don’t think I can answer this question very well. Let’s skip it for now.
  2. How would your close friends describe you?
    • Quiet, keeps himself to himself, confident, and prepared to do what is needed to be done. At least what I think. Oh likes comics, books, illicit drugs, and booze. The last two I don’t do anymore but not sure if people would know that. Respectful, trustworthy.
  3. What went well today?
    • No a lot really, it’s been sort of a disastrous day. I fell head-first into a cupboard this morning at 2am so ended up sleeping on the sofa with two dogs. S is at home from high school with a virus. So feeding her crackers and sweet tea. She has a nap and seems a bit better which is good. Just donated 1 laptop, 3 phones, and 3 sim cards to some people who it will massively help.
  4. What was challenging for you today?
    • The fall this morning took a lot out of me. All I remember is falling and cracking my head off the cupboard. It hurt a lot more than I let on. Been unstable all day so I’ve just been sitting down. Double vision is back #fml
  5. What are the most positive aspects of your life?
    • My kids mostly, D too. She’s like a super aspect who is there when I need her and also when I don’t think I need her and she just knows. I love that I can say no to drinking and drugs. That’s a big one for me as it’s on my mind ALL the time. Volunteer work that I do only daily/weekly.
  6. What do you really love about yourself?
    • I love my amazing talent and skill for fucking up a fucked up situation and making it worse. It’s an outstanding skill that really makes me like you and makes friends pfft millions.
  7. What do you want to feel tomorrow?
    • To wake up, not tired, with no pain, and no dogs whining and jumping on me. Just happiness would do. Not to do with other people or objects but if it was just my own selfish reason, happiness.
  8. What do you do well?.
    • Computers and coding. In my element and the endless nights of firing off some random stuff that people need on the forums. I just enjoy it, the challenge, the breakthroughs when you can throw it at a graphic designer to make it pretty.
  9. What’s holding you back from pursuing your dreams?
    • My mental and physical health at the moment. I can do online bits, video calls, and manage my apprentice pretty well but it does hold me back. It takes me ages to be comfortable with going places 1and I’ve not been to the office in a while, then the social side comes in and decided to ruin it all and not let me out of the house. The other thing is I’m not supposed to drive at the moment when they are doing all this training
  10. What is the one thing you would do if you couldn’t fail?
    • I have no idea. Worldwide? this would take a while. In my own life hmm probably requiring my brain to work again. Give D some new feet as hers are always hurting and this would free up the almost daily massages I give her.

And so if you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read, I’ll try and do these once in a while.
