I recently realized how much religion played a role in my life, playing the father of my moral beliefs. Although, I never considered myself very religious; everyday I lived to be a good person, I lived to please everyone convincing myself, that I too was living by my own moral compass. But, that was all a lie. I’m trying to free my mind of guilt, fear, and doubt. My body, my actions, and my mind are not fully in sync. When I do what I feel, my mind brings me down. It stops me from enjoying the things I should enjoy and the feelings and actions that are the most natural to every human life.

I’m not really sure how to get past this.
