It's Okay

I'm tired of feeling like I have to roll over and play dead, or stay silent and allow myself to be pummeled, though I suppose that fits in well with "turn the other cheek."

I'm tired of defending and analyzing and picking apart.

I'm tired of this idea that faith is stupid, that despair is the only rational response to life and the universe.

You know what? It's okay.

 IT'S OKAY TO BELIEVE.

I do. I believe.

I don't have proof. I may not even have reasons you'd find good enough.

 But I believe. I believe. I BELIEVE!

I believe.
