I think the hardest part for me has been trying to reconcile my new set of values with a way to live a purposeful life that feels as fulfilling as the religion did. As I'm sure that she understands, religion was not just like a part of my life. It was my entire life. And it dictated the entire trajectory of where I thought I was going. And without it, sometimes it feels that...

like a normal life, like my career and things like that. They almost don't hold up to the meaning that religion gave me. So I guess my question is coming from that context of a very religious upbringing that basically defined your identity and your life for you.

Do you have any specific suggestions or advice on how you were able to find meaning and purpose and an ultimate goal to your life that feels as fulfilling as religion did?
