I think I understand this. I've been having vaguely similar thoughts/feelings
myself lately.
I've hit a point of really "settling in" to my religion that I hadn't
experienced before. It's wonderful, and exciting, and beautiful, but at the
same time it scares me, and it makes me sad because it distances me from many
of my friends. There's a part of me that the vast majority of my friends
not only don't/can't participate in, but they can't even *understand*.
I'm beginning to wonder if I can ever be really happy in a relationship with
someone from a different religion.
Sometimes I dwell on might-have-beens, wondering if I would have been happier
as, say, a Baptist or something. I can't say I was *unhappy* as a Baptist,
but somehow I don't think it would have been as fulfilling for me. As
difficult as it has been (and will continue to be, I'm sure), I think I've
made the right choice.
