For years I have been trying to figure out what I truly believe and why I do it. Finally I have found out that to be born into one religion doesn't mean that you have to keep on practicing it for the rest of your life. Especially when you deep down inside know that you don't really believe it. So here I am - letting go of my old faith.
However, my reason of leaving Buddhism doesn't have much to do with the core doctrines in this religion, but mostly because I simply can't ally myself with the traditions that continue to promote them in liturgies.
So this is how it ends. Well, it takes a lot of guts to reach the point where I am at right now. And even though I've let go of my old belief, I still haven't given up my philosophy or even my spirituality. So there's every reason for me to believe that I'm going to be just fine.
And now I celebrate my freedom of mind by putting this song on my blog.

Oh, Life is bigger It's bigger than you and you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up
That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm Choosing my confessions Trying to keep eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool (fool!) Oh no I've said too much I set it up
Consider this, consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream That was just a dream
That's me in the corner That's me in the spot light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream (try... cry... why... try) That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, dream...
