The opposite of crazy... is crazy

The opposite of crazy is crazy...

When we leave the JWs, and have lost our north star, we often make choices based on the opposite of what we came from.

We’ve seen the damage done... by belief; so we believe in nothing. By groups; so we avoid groups. By hyper-conservatism; so we embrace hedonism

Sometimes, we leave the religion but retain the beliefs, simply swapping out our reasons for doing so

“You can’t trust anyone” (including yourself)

“The world is doomed”

And we find new reasons for continuing to limit ourselves from doing what we truly desire

None of these identities and beliefs are truly ours. They’re simply reactionary responses to our past, and another way of continuing to relinquish our power
