I found that a hard part of leaving mormonism.
To leave the mindset behind of always having to strive for better.. always having to 'grow' always needing to look forward in fear of eternity and judgement...always feeling that somebody is watching you, judging you.. are you good enough, clean enough, holy enough, worthy enough...
I missed out on so much because I was always looking towards eternal salvation... I couldn't wait to get married, I couldn't wait to have kids.... I had to progress.. constantly.. and I was so busy with all that, that I kinda forgot to live.
And I grieve for that time. I really do.
It takes such hard work to learn to live NOW.. to just enjoy life! To just enjoy.
Life is now.
It's okay to enjoy the hell of my day.
It's MY body! it's okay to make it feel good!!
Ugh..
I left the church many years ago and I'm still struggling with issues like that sometimes..
