Yes, I am curious as well. I'm not Catholic but I have been on a journey learning more about both the church of the west as well as the eastern Orthodox church. This is the first time I've really paid any attention to this type of thing.
Ya I grew up Catholic and didn't really appreciate it until I came back to it in 2020. I would say it has absolutely changed my life for the better and has made me see things much clearer than ever before. I just wish I would've listen to people in my family telling me to go to church when I was younger. Life can be an incredibly hard journey and depending how you grew up/circumstances having God in your life can greatly reduce 99% of that stress literally over night if you let him. I am far from perfect and am still a sinner but I feel in my heart, body and soul that I am walking the path of Christ. So many great things about the Catholic Church; two of them are the Sacraments and treasures it holds, you only learn to appreciate them in time. Also the symbolism, intentionality, preciseness and long history really comforts me. As a creative person, you see the artistry in a lot of the cathedrals where you will find very few flaws, its always quite remarkable to me. I could talk about it for hours to tbh.

Thanks, hoping to share my journey one day. I think people would be surprised how much God has guided me toward building PlebLab. He has me exactly where I should be right now. It's like he has been training me my entire life to do this job, I was talking with my Mom this past weekend and she gave me some wonderful advice that I needed to hear, it was something I was struggling to understand.
