I judged myself pretty harshly
when going through this type of

moral injury

because I was going against
things that I grew up as.

I was going against things
that I believe.

I was going against things
that I know if I was

to tell this to a pastor,
if I was to tell this to someone

that I would hold in high
regards,

that they would look at me
a different way

and probably want to sever
our relationship,

sever our friendships
and things like that.

Kind of felt like I was also
holding like a secret.

And the secret were just like,
very, like tight

bound up on the inside of me.

And I did not really
know how to deal with that.
