I just read your last blog post and it is disheartening to read about the situation you are facing. I feel part of your isolation, even though I don’t think our situations are comparable, and I truly resonate with the two last paragraphs of the post. Please, do not lose yourself in the multitudes that surround you, hold tight to your beliefs.

I admire people that face situations like yours and end up rising instead of drowning. I sincerely hope that things will work out for you. Sometimes it can be underestimated how much influence a place can have over us. Even if it sounds corny, I believe that we are born somewhere that we don’t choose, but we get to choose the place where we bloom, even if it’s difficult to do so.

In the meantime, I will keep an eye on your page, I like what I have read so far.

Your writing on finding transcendence in nature reminded me of a book that I am reading currently, entitled 'Strange New World' by Carl Trueman. He is a Christian theologian, so you may not agree with his conclusions, but he discusses the ideas of the Romantics and how they found transcendence within chapter two, and I found it interesting. You might too.

I will definitely check that chapter out! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thanks as well for checking my little blog! Even though I abandoned Christianity as a belief system, I still cherish its intellectual dimension, so I’m definitely interested in what Christians have to say. Also, I love the Romantics. Thanks for stopping by!

My love for scholasticism and the philosophy of religion is the main reason behind why I decided to study theology at an undergraduate level. There's definitely a lot of valuable perspectives to think about (and read) both from secular and religious authors. Whilst I don't agree with certain key Romantic ideas because of my faith, I think there are a lot of things Christians could learn from them, too.

It is refreshing meeting people who are able to learn from different schools of thought even though they disagree with some aspects of them. Sadly, I don’t encounter that way of approaching knowledge that often. I find awesome the fact that you are studying Theology, it must be really interesting! I recently watched a video about the theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa.

Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog! I’ll keep an eye on yours as well, it’s really interesting! I have enjoyed the two posts on minimalism, since I also struggle with mental fatigue fairly often.
