Agnostic and Apolitical

It's where I'm ultimately headed.

For the most part, it is the way I live now. I still pray, but I've essentially abandoned my faith. I still watch the news, but tune out on political or weighty matters.

I'm not a Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, or Wican. I'm not a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, or Communist.

I'm nothing, and proud of it.

This new way of life has certainly been a shift away from my previous self. I was wildly interested in politics, current events, making a difference, etc, growing up. I remember reading a political magazine in high school to the bewilderment turned ridicule of a friend. While I was never deeply involved in my faith, I did participate in activities and groups for my school and church.

Whatever. I think this is the way it has to be for now, maybe forever, because life is too short, and too long, to encumber ourselves with these stress and shame-inducing imprisonments.
