Things started turning around for me this year, right around when the pandemic started. Despair subsided for the first time in 8 years, and life just kept getting better, even though it was hard sometimes. 6/

My dad is the son of two holocaust survivors. His father survived Mauthausen and his mother Auschwitz, and she was the only survivor in her entire family. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I liked being β€œthe only Jew,” and I learned to draw strength from being different. 9/

So when a few days ago I accepted Jesus, hardly anyone was as surprised as me. I feel like my superego has been replaced with God himself β€” because it kind of has been. 10/

When I meditate and β€œlook inwardly” at my swirling emotions, I can feel Jesus’s light pouring through my inner eyes, enveloping and healing my wounds. 11/

For years, being me has been like flying an F-22 with no electricity β€” millions of little knobs and levers to push and switch, endless trial and error to find the fastest way to ride the currents of life. One wrong move and I fall out of the sky, or so I feared. 12/

Jesus is like having not only electricity, but autopilot. The level of healing and peace is a dream come true. It’s been only 4 days and I’m already telling Twitter stuff I used to think I’d never have the guts to tell my own parents. (Which I did, and everything’s fine) 14/

I’m still Jewish, I love my dad and my family, and I don’t eat pork. But it’s a scientific matter β€” Jesus is real, he is powerful, and he loves me a lot. I’ve heard he loves you too. Thanks for being there, friends. πŸ™πŸ€˜πŸ˜‰ 15/fin
