I just read through two years worth of posts.
Wow.
It was interesting. I’d written a lot of stuff I’d forgotten about. Was reminded of a few things that made me cry. But it was all my journey. All of it is part of who I am. And the reason I went through it all was so I could put together a new page for people. A page that explains who I was and who I am.
Face the Strange will take you through my journey from faith to agnosticism.
It’s funny. When I started writing that page, I was all gung-ho about how liberated and free I feel. And then I read all of those posts and felt the pang of missed familiarity. The pang of regret. The pang of sorrow.
It’s not the faith I miss. It’s who I was. The people I once had in my life.
But maybe I do miss the faith just a little bit. The certainty of knowing why you exist and what you’re going to do.
But likely, it’s just a small case of “homesickness.”
Face the Strange is my story. It’s how I became who I am today.
Enjoy.
Hi Mandi…Found you through Delicious Design Studio Blog…We have the same name and love the same template:) I was using it for my site but wasn’t sure if I wanted to use Blogger or WP…I was wondering what font is used in the header as well? Thanks:)
P.S. Love your blog too:)
I just stumbled across your website. Oh, Mandi Kaye…the things we could talk about…
It’s getting late and my head hurts…probably from the hornet’s nest of issues and questions that’s been stirred up by reading your posts (no fault of yours, of course!). But I just wanted to pat you on the back a little for being so brutally honest with yourself. This journey you’ve made…I’m sort of in the middle of it right now, and I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s rather scary; there is a great deal at risk, or so it seems to me. I’ll be back. I think I have to. Sorry to sound so cryptic.
Amanda – I don’t know! She never got back to me on the font in the header. I found one I really like, but I haven’t had a chance to switch it out yet. You might just check out http://www.fontgarden.com or http://www.dafont.com until you find something you like.
Sloan – I’m looking forward to it!
Woah. It is seriously weird re-reading those posts after all this time – heavy, heavy deja-vu.
It’s good to look back over your shoulder every so often and count the footprints.
I am going to read what you wrote soon…when I have time to read slowly. I know I miss knowing you’re close. But you are still in my heart, what can be done about that?!
I miss you, too. In all honesty, I had delegated you to the list of lost relationships because of my choice.
It’s good to see kind words from you again.
