Happy Pride my loves! Cheers to my very first year acknowledging that I’m a part of this beautiful community 🥹 🏳️‍🌈
A note to my teenage self, who never felt pretty enough, thin enough, or lovable enough. Who tried so hard every day to be the best and the smartest and the most accomplished, who never, ever stopped striving. Who lived in fear of her untreated mental illness, and sincerely believed that she was crazy. Who felt she had no worth outside of her faith because that’s what her faith taught her was true. I so wish that that lovely girl could have a tiny peak into the future. I wish I could show her how beautifully things were going to work out in the end. I wish I could give her a glimpse of what it feels like to know who you are and to really feel comfortable in your own skin. I wish I could let her know that everything is going to be Okay.
Hi folx! A quick introduction: I’m Kimberly, she/her, a 36 year old exvangenical artist and writer. I spent over a decade of my life in full-time vocational ministry before realizing that enough was enough. I didn’t see the Jesus I loved in the church around me anymore, so I stepped away with a very bruised heart. I’ve spent the last several years deconstructing and reconstructing the beliefs I once held so dear, working through my religious trauma, and trying to find a “new normal” for myself and my family. My goal is to raise a good human who is filled with strong values and compassion that doesn’t depend on a religious framework or fear of punishment.
