Religion

I have a friend named Christi. We met in 2004, and she is the person I can shoot a text to when I’m unreasonably angry, when I’m sad for no tangible reason, when I’m frustrated or embarrassed, when I’m terrified and when I feel like my faith is growing cold. She is the person who can handle my ungodly feelings, my skewed viewpoints, my darkest attitudes, my strongest, misguided opinions. I can say anything to her that has crossed my mind without fear of judgment, without bracing for a lecture, without worrying about how she will feel about me after she hears what’s really going on in my heart.
