thanks. i agree. 
that makes sense.
it's just one of those things that seems so big. not to me but to others. i am surrounded by people who are so adamantly non-believers that i sometimes wonder if it will shock them in a big way. sometimes their non-belief makes me believe nothing will happen the same way my mom's non-belief in monsters kept me safe as a kid, i knew no monster could get me when i was with her, because she held that sanity for both of us. and now, that same "sanity" feels unshakeable even when i totally believe in this stuff. people's worlds are so different, their worlds so defined by their truths. i don't intend to worry a lot about this, and i'm pretty mellow about disclosure, i don't mean to come across the wrong way, i just feel the clash in their view and my view, how big it is. how can i expect their world to shift so greatly? sometimes i think it can't, only mine will.
