Reacquainting myself with life outside the cult

THE QUEEN IS DEAD

9/9/2022

Queen Elizabeth died yesterday and tributes to her life of service were plentiful on YouTube. Beautiful and moving tributes. I broke down in tears after watching a few. I along with millions admired her for many reasons, being a pillar of strength for one. She's been part of my life, if only in the news since I was ten. I cried.

I was happy that I cried, relieved. That must sound odd. But to me, being able to cry, to experience grief was a sign of my healing. You see, I became numb to my feelings when I was an active member of Scientology.

I was a Clear and Clears were supposed to be happy. That was my job, or so I thought at the time. Of course, sometimes I was happy. But often I was miserable. Yet I was unable to own such feelings. Such feelings were traitorous to our cause. That's what I had been conditioned to believe. Well, that's behind me now.  
​
Good-bye QE and thank you for being you and gracing our world.

    Welcome to my blog. My blog is not about Scientology.  It is about the life I am building for myself now that I have left Scientology. I'm in my third third of life, or Act Three.

    My blog is about sharing my ordinary day to day struggles and triumphs. I've been out of Scientology since 2011 and working on aging gracefully. Still learning how to be  "normal" again.
