Research on spirituality indicates that people who are religious are happier than non-religious people, but what if you are a struggling with religion?
Let me share some of my experiences with you.
I am gay and was raised a Catholic. My mother, before she was my mother, had been a nun. I found this out only after my grandmother had died and I was looking through a box of old photographs that she had kept under her bed. I came across a picture of my mother in a nun outfit and immediately thought “Halloween” and kept shuffling through the pictures. Then I came to another series of photos and noticed that in some there were leaves on the ground, others snow and still others were taken in what seemed like the bright sunshine of Summer and there was my mother, still in that damn Halloween outfit! My eyes bugged out as I put 2 + 2 together. I held up a picture in front of my sister’s face and said, “What is this?”
