how do you pray? what if your prayers are not answered or you feel like they aren't being listened to? i have tried praying and I'm still unsure how i feel about religion and I don't resonate with a specific one but idk i just don't feel heard or like I'm doing it properly you know? what is your advice? and how do you learn about religion without going to church. obviously there's Google and stuff but it's not rlly helpful lol. are there any books that you recommend?

hi thanks for the question! i’m happy to answer

i think i struggled with this- feeling like my prayers weren’t being listened to- as well and i think it was mostly due to the fact my heart just wasn’t in it. i wasn’t committed to my prayer or to my intention or to my faith. i found myself in a weird middle phase similarly to you where i needed something more in my life but couldn’t find what. for a long time i studied astrology to help but then found so much comfort in the Lord & particularly Mary.

so i would suggest explore your options. find something you really resonate with, and when you talk with whatever/whoever that is, commit your heart and show your devotion. for me, no matter what happens after my prayer, i feel comforted knowing i have spoken to God, and that He or Mary will be watching and hearing.

maybe you could try saying a prayer like The Memorare, which i have posted on my page, to solidify your prayer and seek action from Mary.

and for how i personally pray, it is very situational. sometimes i simply clasp my hands together. sometimes i do nothing external at all and just repeat a prayer in my head; i do this often in public. if i want Them to know i’m really committed to my prayer i will hold my rosary in between my palms as i pray, as people say that Mary holds one end of the rosary and you hold the other. but prayer is very personal and intimate. i suggest doing what works for you!

and on learning about religion i am little help, as i am still very early on in my journey, and trying to learn myself. i’ve been recommended “The Secret of the Rosary” and “The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin” as books to read. of course reading Bible verses. i like the app “Women’s Bible”, as i don’t yet feel ready to purchase a physical bible. you can add notes and annotate on this app, and the interface is pink! i was also recommended the “Baltimore Catechism”, which is a Q&A style book that teaches all about God/Catholicism.

but my best advice is follow profiles online! there’s lots of lovely girls on twitter who have helped me and there’s lots of blogs out there.

i hope this can help <3

Anne of Green Gables is one book I've definitely want to read for a while!! I also wanted to watch the netflix series but I know it was cancelled so I really don't want to get my hopes up and then feel like it's missing something ):

I feel like if I tell you where I'm from you might guess who I am hahah (because I talk quite bit -a lot rlly- about it here) although I think we haven't really interacted before but idk!! I'm really bad at maintaining an anonymous identity!!

Oh fun story one of the things that got me into liking computer science when I was 13/14 years old was making tumblr codes. I found it soo fun and yes probably it's a really basic thing but it was what gave me that "spark" to start liking it. I really love design too so one thing I'd like is to be a front-end developer which basically is the part dedicated to user interface. What do you study??? I have a feeling it's on the medical or psychologist field.

Tigers are definitely such cool animals. I feel like I'd be the opposite and be a giraffe which has to run from tigers hahah. I feel like my life is so hectic sometimes I just need to chill and eat leaves with my really long neck

I totally get you at the invisibility part. I have no way to put it into words but there's something about being perceived that's so ??!!?!??? words are hard omg

I hadn't tried laksa but I googled it and by the pictures and the description it looks so good!!! I really want to try more food around the world, specially south asian food since I've never eaten it because there's no place to get it in my city): So definitely when I travel that's at the top of the list.

If I had to eat something for a whole month it would probably be roasted chicken with guasacaca (a sauce that's similar to guacamole) and fried yucca. But the chicken has to be super juicy and the yuccas crispy because hell if it's gonna be a whole month it has to be good hahah

Also I remembered that a friend had told me you could write an ask without characters limit if you do it through the mobile app so that's why I'm writting a testament now lol, but easier than sending multiple asks!

Hi!!

I highly, highly recommend you read the series. It’s been a few years since I’ve reread Anne and I’m tempted to do so now ^^

The Netflix adaptation is Anne With an E right? I saw one or two episodes, but I didn’t like the actress’s portrayal of Anne, so I didn’t continue. My favourite adaptations are these movies (I didn’t know there were more than 3! But I only like the first two).

That’s such a fun story and it’s awesome that Tumblr helped you discover this passion. Have you worked on anything related to your chosen field? I’m not sure how to phrase it, but I guess does your university offer internships and such so you can explore your field?

So, in my undergrad I studied Health Sciences... Which was kind of focused on health policy and I specifically focused on mental health. My program wasn’t really what I was expecting, but I took a lot of science courses outside of my program. I made a ton of mistakes in undergrad, so my life hasn’t really shaped out how I imagined. Then, this year I graduated with my Education degree, so I’m a teacher and currently working full time as well as pursuing a Masters in Education (I don’t know why I’m doing it and I hate it, but I’ve started the program and have to see it through now).

Haha, I love your choice of animal. Giraffes are really cool, but you know, lions avoid them? Because adult giraffes have really powerful kicks and it can kill lions. So you’re totally chill, but have some badass power ^^ Also, I feel like I understand what you’re trying to say about the whole invisibility thing (we need to evolve so we can do mind to mind transfers, saves us from words!)

I looked up guasacaca and it looks good! Definitely something I’ll think about trying to make. Is yucca also tapioca? Because when I looked it up, it mentioned it’s also referred to as cassava, and I’ve had cassava/tapioca chips before.

Have you traveled? Where have you been/what’s your wishlist of countries you want to visit?

I hope you had a good day!! It’s the start of the weekend, so yay!

#Secret Santa #Reply #I'm so curious about your identity now if I you think I could recognize you quite easily
