That's an interesting path. Non-spiritual UU -> Athiest secular Humanist -> Agnostic humanist with pagan leanings for me. (Yes, I'm aware that the first step wasn't all that big of a jump, mostly just my parents leaving that church.)
Hmm. I wish people would ask if I'm happy, or if I enjoy my life. I realize that my LJ and the things I discuss are sorta depressing and sorta give the impression I'm unhappy and hate the world around me.. which couldn't be further from the truth. I think people that are around me in real life get a better feel for the fact I'm actually really a happy person. I really do love my life, I'm immensely happy with who I am/have become/am becoming, and in general the world around me is a great place.
Sure there are things I want to change, but I push for change out of a place of hope and love, not out of pain and suffering. I'm angry about injustice, and about all of those things, but that's not who I am, just a result of my paying attention and listening to everyone I can.
