So much has changed - myself included - in the last several years for me that I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever be as gung-ho about General Conference as I used to be. With each new session, it gets harder and harder to listen intently, and the talks that I do listen to don’t really do anything for me.
And of course, the knee-jerk answer I would expect to get from a “devout Mormon” is, well, you need to listen harder. You need to pray and read scriptures and participate in church, and like. I get it. Maybe those things do help the vast majority of people. They used to help me. They generally don’t anymore. Deciding whether to be okay with that or terrified by it (as I was taught to be) is a whole other animal.
This is probably the only #ldsconf related post I’ll be making this year, but - especially after scrolling through the tag for a bit, I’ve gotta say, it’s at least nice to know I’m not the only one that feels like the phrase, “there’s something for everyone in Conference” still doesn’t apply to me.
