Preface: I am currently 23. Was going over old google documents and found it
I sometimes feel as though my search for something more is just that. Iβm searching. I know deep down inside, that I will never be satisfied with one answer, but thatβs why I like Unitarian Universalism so much. Seekers after truth; remember? It gives me the freedom to keep seeking for my truth. I have the feeling that, I will keep trying to find my truth, over and over again. I also have the feeling that I will do it as a Unitarian Universalist. I understand that my beliefs could change at and I donβt want to put myself in a box. At this moment, though, I feel as though I truly am a Unitarian Universalist. My values align with the Seven UU principles already. The two principles that really stand out to me, and that I probably appreciate the most are:
the need to respect the interdependent web of all existence
and
the acceptance of one another
.
I will probably re-write my Statement of Faith over and over in my mind, and I might regret a few things, but I know that I will never regret being apart of this fellowship. It has taught me so many life lessons already that I will continue to carry with me as I become an older, and hopefully a more compassionate person. I will try to never doubt myself too much and let other peopleβs prejudice define me, and no matter what, I will continue to be who I am, forever a seeker of my own truth.
Thank you for listening.
