I don't know where I stand

To know more about what I will be talking about, you need to understand what kind of a person Iam. My name is Rachel and Iam 18years old.I have a lot of friends,a lot. I love to socialise and meet new people. But, Iam also very reserved, not every friend is my best friend and every best friend knows everything about me. You can also say that Iam a people-pleaser. It bothers me a lot on what people think about me.

There is this particular group of girls and guys,with whom I hang out once a week.And our meetings are basically religious meetings.We just discuss on how we can grow by following God.And,I really like it,but Iam not religious, Iam more of a spiritual person.Today we had a meeting at Danica's( one of the person) house, we were sharing our beliefs with some other non-believers.

And I really didn't want to go.Because I seriously can't do this kind of stuff.I like to have my own quiet time with God, rather than share it amongst 10-12 people.So I made an excuse for not being able to attend the meeting.And Danica didn't take it well.She said " she was disappointed in me and that she should give this thing a priority in her life"

And it really ticked me off. Because what it was saying was that "Rachel...you are a SINNER".And impetously, I told her that I was coming.Even though after a couple of minutes I wanted to bang my head against the wall for saying that. Because my going there was completely against my will. But ,now that Iam all done with it I can't deny the fact that I had fun.

I was just wondering,there are so many occasions when we think we know better and act accordingly rather than let nature take it course.And at times,there are things you don't want to do but once you are done with it,you end up having fun.

Life has a funny way of teaching lessons.
