No Longer Lonely

<p>Having entered into a relationship with the Roman Catholic Church as a priest while not ‘owning my own truth‘ and keeping it a secret I was feeling alone fearing for my security and acceptance; I became co-dependent.</p><p> </p><p>Yearning for a significant other who would also be my soul mate—and realizing this would never be allowed as a Catholic priest—created my experience of loneliness as one of sorrow and pain. When I went into the priesthood I checked my own truth at the door. Well locked up I forgot myself. After having left the priesthood I no longer feel lonely because I have changed my concept of God and began to own my own truth.
