#I appreciate that they're going through an epistle and not lecturing us on How To Be Good Wives and Mothers

*it cut off my last tags which were: I don't know what I can do about this but in the meantime it's a struggle
#random personal stuff
#back on my soapbox feel free to ignore
#okay so I have been struggling a bit in the Sunday school class that I am being taken to
#which is not surprising because I have been struggling socially in this church for the past year
#it's a women's class taught by the pastor's wife but not all the women in the church are in it
#most of them are middle-aged/elderly
#what we're learning is perfectly fine
#I appreciate that they're going through an epistle and not lecturing us on How To Be Good Wives and Mothers
#but the other women will chime in with their thoughts in between discussions of doctrine
#and it will be things like empty little slogans
#(such as 'Choose joy!' or 'GodisgoodallthetimeandallthetimeGodisgood')
#(not that there isn't any truth in those but they're used tritely)
#or What The Lord Did For Me (or: My Life Is Perfectly Peachy)
#or things that suggest their faith is all about never being upset by anything ever because you Have Peace
#and I kind of wonder if this is a generational thing
#because sometimes I'll call my mom with something that's troubling me
#and she'll tell me things to the effect of 'just don't feel that way'
#or 'ask the Lord to take it away'
#which is kindly meant but ultimately ineffective in my experience
#but anyway I'm sure these women mean what they say yet at the same time it just...feels insincere to me
#as if as Christians we're just supposed to paste smiles on our faces and never have negative feelings
#I'm not saying we should all come to class and dispense our personal dramas
#but it feels like we're showing up and performing Niceness
#and not allowing room for anything that isn't Easy Answers Positivity
#and I sit there feeling like there's a huge invisible brick wall around me
#and I'm sure that's a me problem
#but...I don't know what I'm trying to articulate here sorry
#I guess I don't know how to interact with these people because nothing seems real
#and we can progress no further than the smallest of small talk because heaven forbid we let our real honest selves slosh over in public
#and it's draining!
