At some point, it stopped making sense. 

I grew up revering this building and it’s many secrets. I counted the days before I could enter, receive my “endowments”, and learn the secrets of life that were promised to exist in the sacred & secret Mormon Temple rituals. This rite of passage was one of the most anticipated moments of my life. 

Fast forward 10 years – I never would have imagined that I’d be on the other side, seeing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The Temple, and my own family culture, in such a different light. 

There’s something here that’s worth keeping, but the pieces most certainly do not fit neatly together anymore.
