I'm not going to post everything, just a vague description and a question about it.
I've always been a deep thinker and asked "Why?". Do fleas know that their world (a dog or cat, maybe) is living? Maybe the earth is actually a living being. Maybe this is all a dream or a game. Is death really something to fear, or look forward to? That's how I feel... Just unsure and curious. I'm getting tired, though. I'm getting tired of trying to get people to understand me and I'm starting to fall back into Christianity and normal stuff like that because I'm just tired of thinking. Is it wrong to go against my beliefs because I'm tired of trying to convince myself? Or maybe I am actually beginning to believe in Christianity again? My mind is very complex... You might call me weird or whatever, lol, but I really just dont know anymore. I don't know what I think anymore!!!

When it comes to what you believe, generally speaking it is not a strictly logical, linear process. Your feelings, intuitions and life experiences come to bear as well. If you are simply getting tired of searching and settling for the "standard beliefs," I will bet on some level you are either still searching, or that some part of you intuits that Christianity, while maybe not being the ultimate answer for you, comes closer to expressing what your whole being believes than not believing in it. If so, then that is an act of trust or faith. That in itself is not necessarily bad since you had to come a long way to get to the point where you were able to have faith. It is also possible that having explored other paths, you have come to the conclusion on some level that you actually do believe in what you rejected before, and have come full circle. The main thing is to be honest with yourself. You don't need a pat answer for everything, but keeping an open mind I think is important. You may not find it as necessary to try to convince yourself if you find your mind is flexible and open to change when you see it necessary, rather than being tied to a dogma. Everyone has to try to figure things out for themselves. Its really up to you to answer your question. Best of luck.

To ask is good.
To know is empowering.
In your asking you may be learned something about yourself.
Everyone is in a different place in their spirituality.
A lot of people have a lot of questions and I think as people get older they have less questions and just accept things the way they are.
Nothing is going to change anyway.

I think finding a balance between surviving and passions is the key. If something is causing you problems, but you feel that by giving it up you're selling yourself short, then you should continue with it, but take care of other things too.
