Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, last year at this time I would’ve been excited, this year I’m not. You see, last year I tried to convert to Judaism from Christianity so I celebrated all the Jewish holidays and went to temple. Right now, I have no clue what I am or what I want to be. I’m so confused. It feels like I could never be what I want to be. I could never be accepted as a Jew because I was not born Jewish. My mother will never accept it because she is an old Polish Catholic and would never welcome this change. It also doesn’t help that I love someone who is Greek Orthodox and if I ever married him I would have to be Orthodox. I could never be the religion that I would want to be.

Babe,

I love you for who you are and not what religion you do or do not believe in. It’s just an obstacle that we’ll have to overcome and I have absolutely no problem with that (you know I love problems like this, makes me feel all tingly inside).
