Right now, as I'm reading this bl manhwa by the name of 'chew and swallow', I am upset with my mother. She will be the death of me, I cry everyday, and it's always way more than needed. We have an argument, about something stupid, most of the time it involves religion. I hate my family's religion. It keeps me from doing many things, things that may sound unnessasary, but matter to me. This religion also drives my parents crazy, I would call them extreme too. Reading this type of stuff is also a big no-no in this religion, but I keep reading them. I won't stop, there's something wrong with me. I'm lonely, unhealthy, stupid, immature, and many other things. My mother will probably ignore and pretend our argument today didn't happen and I'll almost certainly go along with it, as per usual. I'm sick of it all. I don't know what to do. - I'm sorry for writing all this (but i'm actually not), the people reading this couldn't give a fu**, but I just wanted to write this because I can.

Hang in there love, as long as you live with them just pretend to go along with it . I did the same until I turned 18, now in my 20s and my mum doesn't push the religion narrative to me . Admittedly I fought hard to have my life's belief system acknowledged and some moments were painful and frustrating. Parents will always believe they know what's best until you start making your own money and career decisions , parents with religion as their moral compass will want it as your lifestyle because their religion is literally the one thing that gives them a sense of meaning, belonging and being. One day you'll be in a position to say , "I understand this is important to you but it's not important to me in the same way, so please respect that faith is personal and how I live is personal. I have the right to be my own person and I have the right to experience this life on my own accord" if the nice way doesn't work you can always say * f*ck off, you think we'll be judged by G*od together?"
Live your life bruh, f*ck outta my face "
