As I see this journey I've been on within the last year or so with my own sense of self worth, I realize now that there's no need to carry any sort of label onto my beliefs. However, I do feel like my heart, actions and emotions help to thoroughly define what it is I do or don't believe- anything else is left undecided.
We all experience feelings of denial or doubt regardless, and I'm not excluded to those emotions either. Once we outwardly deny or reject something enough, it becomes a conviction that we hold onto inside of our hearts. What we allow ourselves to accept however becomes part of what we want to become; it becomes a new part of our current existence.
I feel like it's important for me to emphasize just how powerful our emotions can be and how we allow them to shape who we are. Actions speak louder than words, but at the same time, your words need to be carefully thought over before being let out of your mouth. A lot of the time, we just don't think before speaking; it's like a subconscious habit that we just don't take more control over because some people will just brush it off like it's nothing. I feel like it's vital for us to be self-aware of the things we say and do in our everyday lives so that we can become better than who we were yesterday.
So now that I've gotten through all this psychological talk, I'd like to wrap this up by saying that while I'm perfectly content with my life and where I'm at, I still respect and understand those who have any kind of affiliation with religion. I remember when I used to be in that position where I didn't know how to stand up and live life on my own terms. I remember when I felt helpless, confused and overwhelmed with my emotions. However, I still remain firm in saying that life is and can be whatever you want it to be; I just hope that you won't go in blindly like I once did.
