I have the final say in my story.

I recently had a notable interaction with a couple who were old friends from the mission. Nothing bothers me more than members who equate a faith transition to a character flaw. What caught my eye in particular was the large assumption of who I was based on my religious beliefs. I expect my reply was largely unproductive for them. But for me, it came with the realization that I have the final say in who I am. I choose with my actions, and nobody else can truly force a persona on me. If somebody wants to minimize who I am by calling me a prideful heretic, fuck them truly all the way to Narnia and back. Happy Sunday ya'll.
