I too am still “hiding”…from exactly who or what, I am unsure, but mostly WHY I’m not open about my opinions and feelings re: religion, politics, and culture. So I gladly join you in finding space for dialogue, discussion. Thank you for sharing here, Teanna.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I too ponder what to say and when to engage in conversation 💗🤗

Thanks Lavon!!!

You just put into words what I have been wrestling with and trying to commit to writing and speaking more. So yes I am looking for this space too!
From a fellow Nazarene living in Chicagoland, thank you!
Jared I appreciate it this so much. Seem like there is a lot of us feeling this way.
