Being able to believe in something unconditionally is truly admirable. Finding inner peace and harmony through God is something I wish I could do. Even Dickinson had some sort of faith. What is my faith? What can I believe in at the end of the day, when I have nothing left? What will I turn to if everything collapses and things get bad? Science and reason can only comfort you so much. A textbook does not invoke peace and sanctity in the way a Bible can. But I am also grateful for my unique perspective as well. Sure, I was raised differently than my friends. I won’t get a communion or a baptism. But, oddly enough, I’m okay with it, even if it is hard sometimes. Because I may not have religion, but I do know what I do have. I have my friends- my true friends. I have my family. I have myself, my passion, my hobbies, my health. And those are all things to count my blessings
