It hasn’t been an easy journey and I’m still learning to be patient with my self.

But if anything, practising my faith has for all the better helped my mental wellbeing, sense of optimism, and in my general outlook in life.

There are times of heavy doubt and anxiety that cause great difficulty in getting through some days. However, knowing of a relationship I have that is personal with God has made those kinds of days more bearable.

I have since become much more confident in my identity within in the LGBTQ+ community as well, thus interlinking faith with this aspect of my identity in the most beautiful and sacred way possible.

Of course, there are have been and will be times where I make mistakes, fall into bad habits without knowing, and succumb to moments of darkness.

Learning and growing from your setbacks, along with being a good neighbour to others, are constant assignments that I’m willing to undertake for the rest of my life.
