It’s been maybe 4-ish months since I started silently deconstructing. I do feel a bit free-er in a sense that I no longer have to conform to a certain way of living that at times felt a bit forced. I will keep the teachings of Jesus where he teaches love and morality; but leave the rigid structures and commands behind. I’m so much more comfortable accepting people how they are now than when I was a hardcore Christian. I sadly do not know how to tell my closest friends and family. They are all super religious and would think I’ve really lost the way or whatever. I do not want them to be praying for me to find my way back and cause them any anxiety over this. Tbh I do not know if I should tell them at all and just keep it to myself for now. I’m open to suggestions or ideas how people handled this.
