I Went on a Religious Pilgrimage. I Shouldn’t Have.
Religion is supposed to inform your life, not the other way around.
I signed up for a pilgrimage after my friend got really excited about it.
We’ve been going to church together for almost two years and these are the highlights of my week, otherwise spent working from 9h to 23h daily.

I also thought this experience would reinforce my faith.
I have rarely been more wrong in my life.
