Growing up Catholic while knowing I was gay was deeply challenging. The beliefs I was taught didn’t always make space for who I was, and it took years to unlearn those limits and reclaim my sense of self. A spiritual awakening in my teens led me to step away from that faith and begin discovering who I truly am. They say life begins when you stop trying to please the audience, and for me that couldn’t be more true. I’ve learned to balance what feels right for me while living in a world that requires understanding and compromise. The key has been finding peace and harmony right where I am. I no longer need to fix, manage, or control everything. I’ve found spirituality through a higher power that brings me comfort and connection. Let’s explore what spirituality can mean for you and uncover a deep sense of peace and oneness you may not have known was possible.
