life lessons from the east coast

until i came out to massachusetts, i had no idea that so many people were still religious. 

i had never even heard of ash wednesday until i got to college. i feel like portland is just a void of most religious activity. i only had a couple friends growing up whose families went to church and none, if any friends who actually believed in god. 

everyone on campus has been talking about ash wednesday  and it’s still so weird to me.
