I totally agree with this. I wasn't raised in the church. When I took an interest in different religions, I looked into it for myself and came to my own conclusion. In my case, I decided that Christianity was right for me. For others, it could be completely different. That's how it should be. Ideally, parents wouldn't drill a certain belief system into their child's mind. The way I see it, kids should be free to explore different things and come to their own conclusions about the way they want to live their life.


wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
