After finding my faith; I have found my confidence again, along with a deeper meaning and serendpitiy that was there all along. I am more conscious and aware of what I do now, and although that means I often face pain and fear greater than what I faced before, I say bring it on. I am stronger and more aware for dealing with it than I was before. Rediscovering my faith was possibly one of the best things to happen to me in my 17 short years here in this life. It has brought me back into a state of mind I had forgotten existed. If I am unhealthy and I'm sick inside...why do I feel better than I've ever felt before?
I could with all honesty tell the same story with just a few minor changes, so few and minor that you may have trouble spotting them.

After ash-canning faith; I have found my confidence again, along with a deeper meaning and serendpitiy that was there all along. I am more conscious and aware of what I do now, and although that means I often face pain and fear greater than what I faced before, I say bring it on. I am stronger and more aware for dealing with it than I was before. Ditching my faith was possibly one of the best things to happen to me in my 17 short years here in this life. It has brought me into a state of mind I had not known existed. Why do I feel better than I've ever felt before?"
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
