Part 6 of Confessions of a Late Bloomer is about the places that shaped us, and the ones we had to outgrow.This one holds a quiet kind of heartbreak: what it’s like to find belonging in a place that eventually asks you to shrink.I’m sharing my complicated relationship with religion, the comfort it offered, the shame it introduced, and the moment I realized that faith could live outside the walls that made me feel small.It’s for anyone who's ever had to walk away from something that once felt like home, in order to finally come home to themselves.🖋️ More stories and slow-bloom reflections here:Instagram: @thecleverconfidanteWebsite: www.thecleverconfidante.com
