Dear Momma

It's nice to be raised with morals, and standards, and such. Sunday school every Sunday since birth and praying at the dinner table. It gave me something to lean back on, structure and comfort. And thanks for that. Really, I got to see a way of life people don't always understand. But that's all it was, observation and knowledge. That's what I want to take from it. I don't want a lecture about god every single day for every single thing. It's exhausting. You gave me a foundation and now it's time for me to build my own way. To figure out things on my own, without god in every sentence. If I'm going to practice a religion, I want it to be because of a personal choice and not a family tradition. I feel like I can't talk to you without you shoving god down my throat. I just want to have a conversation with you, not "the word of god".

Love you always, Baptist or not,
Victoria
