I believe in gravity.
I believe in trauma.
I believe in coffee.
The afterlife?
Still buffering… please hold.
☕ Between Logic and Loss
I’ve been told to “just have faith.”
But when you’ve survived hell on Earth,
“just” becomes a four-letter word.
I’ve seen death from close enough
to smell the paperwork.
I’ve danced with grief like it owed me rent.
I’ve buried people who deserved more time
and watched miracles skip my address like bad mail.
So no, I don’t disbelieve in an afterlife.
I’m just not ready to commit to eternity
without reading the terms and conditions.
🧬 The War Inside: Science vs Spirit
There’s a chalk outline in one corner of my mind,
and a crucifix in the other.
And I’m standing somewhere in the middle
wondering who gets the final word.
My logic says death is data.
My hope says there’s a door.
My trauma says don’t trust anything that promises peace
without receipts.
💔 Psychological Resonance:
- Survivors don’t disbelieve.
We just ask harder questions. - Faith feels different after you’ve watched life fall apart in real time.
- Sometimes, belief systems feel like gaslighting—
especially when they ask us to be okay with not knowing.
🗣 Raw Truth:
I’m not angry at God.
I’m just not ready to pretend this all makes sense.
I’ve seen too much.
Lost too much.
Felt the silence too loud.
And if there is a heaven,
it better be more than a celestial waiting room
with soft music and no sarcasm.
Because if my soul survives this body,
I want it to show up with scars, jokes, and receipts.
🔬 What I Do Believe:
- I believe grief rearranges your brain.
- I believe trauma is proof we’ve lived.
- I believe in nervous systems that stutter and still keep going.
- I believe that hope, when earned, is stronger than certainty.
