So. I have been depressed about the world and my life ever since i was a small child, i have nothing to do with my life and no hopes or aspirations. i graduated high school barely but i cant imagine myself ever going to university or getting a job like a normal person. a year ago i didnt know what to do with my life and i still dont. i decided to start the road to becoming a nun even though i wasnt religious because i truly have nothing else to do with my life and i was curious. ive been in aspirancy for a year and im ready to move to postulancy. i feel a lot of mixed feelings about this because i am supposed to leave home and give away all the comforts like the laptop im typing this on lol and i will have almost no contact with the outside world. so i guess im feeling kind of bittersweet about it. in the year of Aspirancy i have became religious in some way but obviously not to the extent of a person overcome with the urge to do this. idk why im making this post i thought it might be interesting since people here talk about religion and even monasteries quite a bit but probably havent met anybody that would actually do it. i am going to be a carmelite nun which is one of the most secluded so yeah idk nobody cares about this probably but yeah. also nun pepe

Back when I was Muslim I thought about moving to a Muslim country (there were people who could help me move and would help me with that) and joining a serious sufi tariqah (not like the haqqani naqshbandis or those tariqas in america/western europe).

I ended up leaving the religion after a few years and now I'm more or less indiferrent to faith. I don't know where I would be now if I remained in the religion. Probably better and "doing something" with my life. Now I'm a NEET without much to do in life, just drinking all day.

I think it might be good for you, but be aware of all the politics and strife that there are in those religious spaces, even in the serious ones. There are hagiographies where saints talk about how they were mocked and persecuted by "lax" people in their monasteries.

A model turned nun in Brazil is making the headlines recently.

I find her inspiration because, being a young attractive woman, she could have had the whole world, but instead she chose to serve Jesus.

I thought Carmelites per se weren't nun\monks ,but a sort of itinerant mendicants? however cloister-life nuns seem to exist evidently.
be careful about lax monasteries, some are too relaxed and "fun" even if the aesthetics are neat

monastic life must be undertaken with absolute seriousness, in any tradition. There are various metaphors, such as the grass that must be grasped firmly to tear it out, or you will cut yourself. Or the snake inside a vertical reed, can only go up (heavens) or down (hells).

Serious questions: what do nuns do? I have never met or seen one IRL.

>>40515019
There are no politics in Christ, politics are designed by hell itself.

Most run schools, but the basic idea is you can live closer to god through taking vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Same thing with monks, except monks also had scribe duties.

If you're legit and telling the truth OP, then God bless you - I pray in the name of Jesus Christ for your heart to be content and at peace, and that you find everlasting joy and love in serving our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. God bless you!

God bless, sister anon.
I pray that you are an actual woman and not a tranny.

Shut your meme ass up u wouldn't be here if this were true

LiKe LoL

If this is real. I wouldn't be asking for comfort here. You need to ask yourself if what you are doing or planning on doing affects your good conscious with the Lord.
