Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
First Impression: Well...this was quite an intriguing story this one, it definitely has some very intriguing undercurrents to it among the main story itself, and the main story itself is pointing out what must be quite a stressful environment for this girl to have to subject herself to just to be treated like a normal person.
Anyway let's get right to it,
The preacher asked us to give up something before we took communion. I knew there was no God or higher power, but my parents didn’t. They loved me even though I denied their faith. But that night, I wanted to make them happy. Giving up my beliefs, I took communion and chained myself to this role I was an actress for life playing their perfect, christian daughter.
OKay...well that sounds like a lovely supporting family there to start with at least, them continuing to love them despite her wanting to choose her own path, and well, its upto her at any rate..but hmm...well it certainly is a very interesting decision by her there to want to play a part for the rest of her life, that's a pretty life changing decision to take at any rate, well let's see where this is headed here.
“Mom. Dad. I wanted to let you know that I committed myself to Christ in church today.”
“I’m so proud of you,” my dad blubbered. He looked as proud as he would if I saved the world.
“I’m glad you came around,” my mom told me holding my hands. We were all crying. It was easy for me to play along. I didn’t have to force myself to cry.
Well...that last line is certainly powerful and you can't really blame her for that one at all, I didn't expect parents that were supposed to be supportive to react like that, that definitely seems like the parents were doing some acting of their own when they said they still loved her and accepted here...hmm...well let's see how this charade ends up going at any rate.
From that day on, I had to pray every night with them. I joined a bible study to keep the lie believable and commit myself more. I had to convince everyone in the church that my love for Jesus Christ was strong as anyone else’s in the church.
Well...she's going all out there to try and convince everyone, she's certainly very focused on trying to appear as the perfect daughter that she is supposed to be, well acting like that for your whole life is something that just generally doesn't work out great for most people, so this is not looking very good at the moment, at any rate it appears to be building towards something here.
Everyone in church started to love me. They loved me when I covered myself in my veil of lies. When I wore my veil, the white-haired old ladies would tell me I was a beautiful, young lady. I’d wear my veil and hold my bible, and the elders would pat me on the back. I’d wear my veil and my parents would take me out for ice cream. I wore this veil so much, I worried I would never be able to take it off.
Oh dear, well, we're ending by mentioning the true danger of such and act here. It is quite painful to see how everyone seems to care about her and treat here really well only once she tries to act in the way that they want her to, and then her having to retreat behind a veil of lies as you put in order for her to be treated like any child should be...well...this is certainly capturing a dark side to how these things sometimes tend to pan out.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
Overall: Overall this is certainly a very intriguing story this one. Its conveying what must be quite a difficult situation to be stuck in and bringing to light some very interesting points here. At any rate, that's all I gotta say here.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
