For years I felt as though many of my choices were repressed because of religion because I had bought into some degree of that truth. I was angry that I bought into the mere notion of a celestial Big Brother. The freedom I feel knowing--or being damn near sure--no one is in my head but me makes me feel fabulous (a word I can never use lightly).
