So the world's ending tomorrow, apparently. Not quite sure what to make of that. On the one hand, people have been talking about the end of the world for as long as people have existed. As someone who was raised in a Catholic context, I've known that the world had ended before and come back multiple times. If God and humanity were in a Facebook relationship, it would be complicated. As someone who has grown from those roots and taken strides towards more pagan, human, reasonable beliefs, I doubt a "loving" deity would save the hateful and the hypocrites and leave good nonbelievers and "pariahs" to rot.
But on the off chance the world does end, I figured it would be fun to make some kind of note here regarding life as I have lived it so far. Here it goes.
I lived 24 years. Most of them were spent in obedience and servitude. I did not begin living a life of my own until I went to university. From ages 18 - 22, I learned what I wanted. From 23 - now, I got what I wanted. If the world ends tomorrow, I will be going out a free woman. When the day goes from May 21st to May 22nd, I will still be a free woman, one with the opportunity to keep growing as I have.
As far as I am concerned, I'm alive now and I will keep living as long as I have breath.
The apocalypse/rapture/nonsense won't stop me; it can't. :-P
