Loneliness and interfaith compassion
For whatever reason, when I moved to a new city, I found an international hostel that seemed to me to be the right place, even though it advertised to a primarily Christian crowd. I knew it would probably feel alienating, but it seemed like the right thing to do. As time went on, the hurt and lonlieness of one particular conservative Christian woman has stuck out to me.

Forgiveness
From when I was little I was very passionate about saving bugs. I believed that they had lives and should not die at the hands or feet of the more powerful humans.
