You know how everyone says you cry when you finally find your own revelation? They aren’t lying. I found it there. The feeling cannot be put into words. At best, it’s like finally finding someone, something you’ve never known you’ve lost.

What Losing Your Religion Feels Like
Losing your religion is a gradual thing. It creeps on you over the years, until one day you cannot take it anymore and say, “I need to do something about this.”
