Last night I had some terrible thoughts come up again,

I expected a lot of things on my trip to Greece and Rome with my mom a couple of months ago.

I enjoyed a lot of the food and the openness of the city but there were also a lot of places that felt overly touristy, to the point where it was hard to appreciate what I was look at.

going to the Vatican was also hard on an emotional level.

Hearing from my mom that the church was built with rooms that would glorify the popes more and more as time rolled by instead of giving that money to the poor or Lethe people see the things that were built inside the church.

Whrn I went to church when I was young, I remember it being grand yes, but it was a building for the people, for anyone no matter how rich or poor to came and worship. To marvel at the wonder of the place.

My mom said that there is good and bad with every culture and empire so I’m excited to find the positive in the cultures that make me, me!

I’m almost over this awkward slump and am close to seeing all the wonders of the world again!
