It was the day I realized that there was more to life than religion. I grew up a Jehovah's Witness and under the thumb of my mother. My entire childhood was religion religion religion.
The day I told her off and started living my own life was the single greatest eye-opening experience I've ever had. It completely changed who I was. No longer was I this sad, shy, little "just sit down, listen and obey" person. I realized I was my own person. I didn't have to listen if I didn't like the message. I could form my own opinions and beliefs. I could live my life the way I wanted to. I could have fun, yet still be a responsible person.
It's been a great ride every since that day.
