I think it's actually very much normal. I'm not a religious person so I doubt that what I have to say about that would be helpful ;) but I do agree with Reuben the best thing you can ever learn is how to let go. Not just of what others expect of you but of what you expect for yourself. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't have goals and push yourself but learning when to cut yourself some slack is crutial to happiness. Let go of all the things you put everything into and spend a little time just being (and don't feel bad about it!!) For me it's yoga and cooking/baking. Sometimes a nice easy flow yoga helps other times it's an intense focused yoga. You can't feel great all the time even when things are going well just like you can't feel shitty all the time when things are going badly.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770181354815484853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953512769501648537.post-47485390752796624782011-05-06T13:29:37.601-06:002011-05-06T13:29:37.601-06:00I have been feeling a lot like this here lately. ...I have been feeling a lot like this here lately. I feel like things are going well enough for me, but I have made God feel far away and I know if things were hard I would need him closer.Autumn @ Autumn All Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01656425235020831354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953512769501648537.post-11954025503214425242011-05-06T08:25:32.550-06:002011-05-06T08:25:32.550-06:00I've been feeling this EXACT way lately.

I could make lengthy lists of things I <i>didn't</i> believe, but couldn't have told you anything that I actually <i>did</i> believe. For me, there was never any peace in trying harder or doing better. Peace came from letting go of expectations that others had set for me. Never let anybody (especially me) tell you what your relationship with God should look or feel like.<br /><br />The wonderful thing about God, is that She will be whatever you need her to be. If you're into novels, I found Levi Peterson's <i>The Backslider</i> to be extremely enlightening.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610344574135095983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953512769501648537.post-83009501282827582822011-05-06T06:11:13.999-06:002011-05-06T06:11:13.999-06:00i think you are wonderful! don't let your unha...i think you are wonderful! don't let your unhappiness ruin you good life :D maybe talking to someone about it might make you feel better :DRien Bautistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467047496278736418noreply@blogger.com
