I gotta let it out

I LOVE CHARON

I love worshipping him and he’s helped me with so so soooo much, and I feel like I’ve grown a bond with him. He’s so wise and makes me feel comforted when I’m upset. I love my religion and I love Charon :,)

this is so random but my religion gives me so much comfort. Like. Praying to Charon everyday makes me so happy, he helps me in so many ways and I understand a lot more about myself now. And it’s just so comforting to know that when I die he’ll be there waiting to take me on the boat to Hades. I for once feel complete, like I’m getting better after being in hell for so long :,)
