What is the point in negativity? What does it get me, other than more of the same? The whole point of this exercise (i.e., this writing) is building faith; it is operating as if I have faith in God/Good no matter what and seeing what happens… Pray for me.

Here’s to just walkin’ around, lookin’ around.

Cynics across the world, prepare to throw up on yourselves.

When I was younger, I envied people born into faiths of various kinds. How wonderful it must be to have certain questions answered, to have instructions written down in a text that many others seemed to believe and follow.

I think a lot of people come to therapy or to faith seeking the same, simple solution. We need and want a mechanism to find peace in the moment. We need a balm we can apply to a stinging, sometimes even burning emotional or mental wound.

This is a log of my attempt to build faith from scratch. To believe in God or Good, whatever you want to call a Higher, Universal Power that believes in me in ways I have yet to believe in myself.
