Ethereality is a feeling of being both connected to and separate from the world around you. It is a feeling of being both powerful and powerless. It is a feeling of being both real and unreal.
Ethereality is a complex feeling, and it is not always easy to understand. However, I believe that it is an important feeling, and I am glad that I have been able to find a word to describe it.
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
