My mom raised my brother and I as Catholics. I went through all the CCD classes and made my confirmation. Honestly, growing up that way, being forced to go to church every weekend and go to the classes, especially when it wasn't something I believed in, really really sucked. When I was about 12 I started researching other religions, trying to find something that agreed with me and just flowed with who I am as a person. Within that year, I found Wicca. And something just clicked and I was really happy with it. I started studying and practicing and meditating, and everything just felt so great.
Unfortunately, when it came time to go to my first year of college, I didn't have as much time for my religion. I know that sounds like an excuse, but it's the truth. I barely even had time to sleep, let alone do a circle a couple times a week. I want to start getting back into studying and practicing. I think that's going to be my New Year's resolution. I do, however, still meditate on an almost daily basis. It keeps me calm and relaxed, which is definitely something I need lately because of all the added stress in my life.
I think that everyone fits with a certain religion, or they just don't fit with any at all. And that's okay. Some people are drawn to some things and some people aren't. I just really don't like when people try to convert your to their religion. THAT IS NOT FUCKING OKAY.
