I love your writing and appreciate it - and you - so very much! I haven't given much feedback on your strongwilled stuff because I can't bear to read most of it, but I still appreciate the work you're doing, and think/KNOW it will have an impact on people who are looking for resources in the future, even churches! (hopefully) when they are looking to set up child-centered rules and environments.
and thank you for the writing prompt/reminder. I also started the daily journaling/"devotional" at a young age, and lately have been feeling very stuck in what to write or how to process, and just this reminder and glimpse into your own process helps motivate me to restart my journaling practice. thank you D.L. ! you're an amazing leader for this wonderful community.
I also really appreciate your writing and usually read it right away. Recent events in Minnesota have taken my attention away, but I would love to be on a zoom call with likeminded folks here, and I’d like to participate in your project if you find my history interesting. Journaling helped me get through my teen years, and I picked it back up after the birth of my children. It’s an integral part of how I process my thoughts and feelings, but I see also that my journal serves as a historical document.
I am so so thankful for you and your writing. I'm not sure how I found you after finally fully leaving christianity just a couple years ago, but your writing here and on strongwilled have been part of what has kept me going in these times, while most of my family and friends all remain christian. I'm sure it helps so many people, and I'm so grateful personally!
I would love to contribute to the oral histories, and am interested in the zoom call too. It's so hard to find time for things like this while raising two young kids in mainly isolation, and all of us being AuDHD as well and having a lot of daily challenges, but combatting religious authoritarianism is definitely one of my main special interests too. I strongly resonate with what you said "the world I want to live in is one that centers children in every regard." That's my main life goal - trying to shine more of a light on adultism and behaviorism and religious authoritarianism, and how much all of that is so damaging and wrong. I've got so much anger and so little time but want to help contribute to the cause however I can in my own limited ways, and I am so inspired by you and your work!
