Religious is when you believe in a god or a higher power that created everything and is in control of it. The man who raised me was very zealous in his beliefs. It wasn't very nice, and he wasn't a nice person, at least to me. He was nice to my sister, though. I think there's an indoor pool not far away, we can go there. It isn't the ocean, but it will be the best option since it's a bit too cold to swim outside.
Thank you, really. And yes, definitely friends. Even though you don't have any green right now, it is comforting meeting someone else who was different like that.
