"my dog barks wildly, to protect my infancy, from my ex believer. And I try to calm the wolf, to remind her I am both, still she tears at my sweater. Not a lot, just forever"

As an ex muslim struggling with faith and the absence of it, this hits so hard. I try to protect myself, the child me, who got hurt by religion. But I am both, I am a believer and I am not, and attacking the ex believer hurts too.

But it's not a lot, just forever.

The title was a bit click-baity because I would assume many of you do love it, but right now this album is my everything. It’s so sweet and beautiful, and I just wanted to share how much I love it.
