I can’t really figure out why, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve got a void in me that I can’t fill. This is one of the most frustrating things ever, because nobody likes feeling bad for “no reason” and it’s terrible that I can’t help myself fix it. It wasn’t until I was listening to a conversation amongst a group of my peers that I realized the void.
I’ve never been one to closely follow a specific religion; I was questioning the Blessed Trinity in 2nd grade, insisting that God can’t POSSIBLY be EVERYWHERE at once. I’ve always been a fairly spiritual person though, believing in having a firm and strong moral compass. The Golden Rule is a guiding force in my life, and I have always believed in Karma, certain that whatever I do will come right back to me in the end--for better or for worse. However, despite my beliefs, I’ve always felt kind of lost. I was born and raised Catholic, and I honestly can’t imagine being a part of any other religion; it’s too deeply ingrained in my head for me to be able to embrace a different religion for myself. As much as I can’t see myself converting any time soon, I also think the Catholic religion needs to be updated for modern times, but that’s another story for another day. It is this tiny detail that makes me feel lost in the shuffle.
There are quite a few traits that I try to maintain even in the most difficult situations: loyalty, confidentiality, compassion, and fairness. I’m a good judge of character and tend to attract people to me that have the same values, or at the very least have their own values that they adhere to. Are there any traits you value in a person more than another? Why are they so important to you?
