Never take anything for granted

[maybe_we_can]

This whole situation has been insane. It's hard having a boyfriend who has many different ideals about life and death than I do. However I'm happy I can remain well differentiated and maintain my own belief system. Sitting in Wegman's off the Boulevard w Mbwana right now. I figured I might as well give my absolute best shot to this test that I have

I don't think you should feel guilty about your beliefs. This might be a too-soon situation (and feel free to tell me if I'm being an insensitive prick,) but there is much to be said about having a lack in Christian (or any) faith. Why does that have to be bad? There are many facets of my life that I can easily say that I have been truly unhappy about, but a lack of faith in "a better place" has always been very very liberating to me. Religious faith is death; if you live your life constantly thinking "when I die at least there is THIS next step," well what is driving you to live your life to the fullest capacity?

That said, I do think that we possess a soul that is much more powerful than anything we can possibly fathom, but is that just something I made up to comfort myself? I also haven't experienced death in the capacity that you have, so maybe I'm totally talking out of my ass about life and the perspective that losing life can bring. So I'll shut up now.
