This place I'm in

Playing~"Perfect"-Simple Plan

I'm in that weird place of being too large for the place I'm in, too mature to go back to my past, and what's ahead is an enigma. My past is something that made me into the wonderful person I am. 6 years ago I was this young man solely focused on God. Very discipline and hungry to grow spiritually. Sometimes putting unnecessary restraints on myself, because I thought sacrifice was the way to grow spiritual. 4 years ago, I was a sophomore in college and I was questioning everything. My spiritual life wasn't my sole focus anymore (it was still a focus of mine). My personal growth and acceptance became my main focus. 2 years ago, my spiritual life was out of Wack, but still guided most of my decisions. My social life was hard for me to keep up with. Now, after two years of strugglin' to regain my focus and motivation I'm here. Trying to figure out where I fit in at. How do I balance my conservative religious beliefs with the my desire to explore life on my terms? How do I stay relevant with very close friends when our conversations are so different? How do I explore a relationship when depending on the day I want a different sex? You know a new year always brings about heavy thinking.

Yes, I agree those are some heavy thoughts. Many I often wonder about and still havent found answers to. The great thing is knowing life is about achieving balance and one day we will figure it out.
