“Are you wondering what you’re supposed to think right now?”
This is a wonderful question to ask yourself. Wondering what your opinions “should be” as a member of ‘your team’ is surprisingly easy to do when you publicly give yourself any labels (feminist/liberal etc) and one reason I stopped identifying myself using such terms.
Interesting point. Early on I had been warned that I was too eager to find my answer about god simply because I wanted to know what I was, as in what “label” I now fell under. I think that was wise advice and echoes with your point. Don’t get me wrong… I wanted the answer, but I also found myself wanting to be able to know what name I was supposed to call myself (agnostic, atheist, freethinker, etc.).
