Independence isn’t against God nor should I have to apologize for being strong. I refuse to keep letting people who have no idea what is in my heart telling me I am broken. Why are you upset God made me an artist. I have a blessed life and I don’t need to be told it is wrong. I am not repenting for talent and intelligence. I am not saying I am worthless unless I follow exactly what you think. How is this healthy? I felt so anxious before the women’s retreat I was throwing up. I am not going to be shoved into a box of traditional gender roles because YOU are uncomfortable.

Talk to God your way, I will mine.
