Conservative Smokeshow of the Day

I started struggling with anxiety, loneliness, and this constant feeling that I wasn't doing enough with my life. On the outside, everything seemed fine. I had friends, good grades, and a relatively normal college experience. But internally, I felt like something important was missing.

One weekend, I went home to visit my family, and my mom asked if I wanted to attend church with her. I hadn't been regularly attending services in years, but I agreed. I honestly expected to sit through the service, have lunch with my family, and go back to school without thinking much about it.
