Home is Where the Fandoms are

On Rachel Platten

A while back, I was at bible study at school, and the local Catholic priest was there.  We read and discussed the readings for the next Sunday.  In our discussion – which for the most part ended up being Father Chris’s homily – we talked about how the people in each reading didn’t lose their faith when times were tough.  They were able to center themselves in spite of everything around them.

My fandoms help me find my own center.  They remind me that nothing is as bad as it seems, and things are going to get better.  They definitely cut down on my anxiety, which is the main reason I lose my center in the first place.  My fandoms give me the courage and strength to keep going; they help me see the big picture. In the long run, I will be successful.
