First, what you were or have done in the past has absolutely no bearing on what you should think of yourself as now. Just because you grew up Catholic doesn't mean you have to continue to think of yourself as Catholic if you don't want to. What's important is to figure out what you believe. Once you know that you can pick a label that suits you if you like, or you can just forgo the label and be yourself. Neither is wrong.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
