New Year’s Eve: 2015…almost 2016. I was just finishing up my engineering degree, finally settling into my decision to walk away from The Faith, still flailing about rather gracelessly in my new life outside all the rules of the church. I’d yet to fall in love, yet to know a number of different kinds of heart-break, yet to…many things. I’m not sure you could say my innocence was still intact, but until you’ve seen it all you are always naïve to something, and for all its flaws and foibles, naïveté does sometimes carry with it, a special sort of clarity.
