My best friend recently lent me one of her favorite books called if I stay and it focuses a lot on a character that is somewhat stuck in a limbo state well as different aspects of religion. Her anger from recent events in the novel making her doubt her faith and other factors along those lines. This book got me to thinking about what I hold sacred to MYSELF. My dad is heavily influential with his beliefs but I took a moment to step back and put myself in the shoes of the character in the novel. If everything were just going horribly wrong in life, How would I handle it? Where would I go for escape? Who would I turn to for escape? I'm still learning these things about myself but I
m really trying to capture what I feel strongly about. The sacred journeys that we all compare in class and during discussion is what I feel like resonates the most within me, putting in hard work to go to a destination to see and feel the air around the sacred place, that is my church and where I worship.
