“I still believe in God—in his goodness especially. In the centrality of forgiveness, confession, prayer. I believe he is present in our lives, that he offers comfort and wisdom, that the way of Christ is the best possible way to live. I still believe in religion as a meaningful way to gather and organize our lives, although I don’t believe it’s a stand-in for emotional health or self-awareness or character, and I don’t believe a devoutly religious person is necessarily any of those other important things.”

“If you don't have a goal, the world might give you one. You will be like a leaf, blowing with every breeze and wholly affected by the world around you.

Rather, be a tree: keeping your roots firm but also being able to sense and adapt to the world around you.”
― Alexi Pappas, Bravey
