I was always a very liberal mind stuffed into a tiny little conservative box. That was rough, so I always struggled. It's also easier for me to relate to others. When I was 'in' everything a person did 'wrong' was compounded by the thought that they weren't acting how 'Jehovah' said we should act. Which could double my anger. Now that I've let that go, I can simply think, this person is really pissing me off and now we are going to clear the air. I don't have to waste precious energy judging their character, I get to just deal with the issue at hand. So I'm a lot more fun to be around now.
