*Skip this if you don’t believe in God*

I believed God exists because without him I wouldn’t regret what I had done wrong. He showed me the right path and is very forgiving of me. I sometimes hate myself for hurting others because it’s against God’s will. I realised that I shouldn’t follow societal expectations of women, like how I should look to please lots of men. I don’t follow trends and I don’t follow celebs and beauty trends, I didn’t buy luxury goods too. I realised if I were to follow them till I die, I will have to face God myself and I might end up in hell. I’m someone who would rather listen to God than random people telling me what I should do when I’m not like them. I’m not against people who don’t believe in God. The reason why I came back to God is because of how messed up the world is and God made me see the positive side of things.

I prayed to God every single day thanking him for keeping me alive and safe whenever I go out. I may not be rich but I’m perfectly happy with what I have rather than worry about what I didn’t have that most rich people can afford. God gave me a choice whether to follow him or go against him which is what I loved about him. I do faced judgements from random strangers because I’m not following trends but I just ignore them and live my life because what matters me the most is I follow God’s ways. God only sees how good a person’s heart is while many people tend to see how a person looks physically which is sadly true, if not why would the handsome men and beautiful women get so many people trying to make a move on them? I’m a low maintenance girl living a minimalist lifestyle.

I recently chanced upon a local news article about a debate on whether people thought mam or mum was the proper familiar term for mother. (Here in Wales where spellings change from village to village such arguments aren't that unusual).
The article. Warning full of ads and pretty boring
Mam and mum are common throughout the UK, mam is often shorten to ma' by the criminal classes and the American mom isn't popular.
But what's most common in your neighbourhood/family?
