wanted to share a quote that i've been needing to remind myself of by #thecrafsman #steadycraftin, in response to a question on how to avoid becoming #discouraged:

(1/4) "who are you comparing yourself to? they've been at this for many years. maybe even decades. and if you just now trying to get started they have been putting in all of this time..."

Had to walk out and leave a family night due to my parents and relatives spewing hatred about LGBTQIA+. Specifically trans. I almost threw up. The hypocrisy of hating things, and saying it's for God kills me. And knowing that people I love and looked up to believe in such hatred is just.. devastating. My faith has been deconstructing quietly, and they are the driving force behind it.. just .. a very disheartening and discouraging night.
