thank you alias

this response might be way too late, but as a fellow vegetarian, you'll be perfectly fine as long as you get the protein you need. also, wanting to eat healthier is great! however, please don't feel the need to constantly work out or eat only "healthy" foods. there's a balance to being healthy, and focusing too much on it can be really harmful. you're still a kid! enjoy food that might not be considered "healthy" because, in the end, there's no "good" or "bad" foods. you not only want to eat things that will fuel you and keep you healthy, but also food that will make you happy! if you're concerned with your diet, talk to your parents or another trusted adult about your worries. stay safe <3

Aw hey you should tell them!

I kinda might like a CBer but idk... 

me too O.O

I relate so much... :/

I'm also religious -- I don't know how well this translates to the religion you were brought up in, if it's not Christianity, but the idea that God loves everyone indiscriminately has a lot to do with the idea that he's perfect, & therefore forgiving. Loving someone necessarily includes forgiving whatever imperfections they have. humans, being imperfect, don't love everyone because a) they won't forgive whatever imperfections the person has, or b) they don't know the person. God knows everyone fully, and he also forgives them fully. you don't even have to be kind, much less talented, to be capable of being loved. The other person just has to be willing to forgive you.

Anyway, sorry if this is preachy/pretentious/unhelpful. I've never personally felt the way you do, but I've had my share of crises with my beliefs. <3

I totally understand, but at the same time, perhaps it would be more understandable put like this:

Nothing you -- nor anyone -- will do can ever be perfect. It is simply the symptom of being human, and it can be kinda of disgusting in a way. But all humans are this way. I'd argue that it is not necessarily something to be deadly ashamed of -- it should only serve as a reminder of how incomplete and vulnerable we are, thus necessitating our subservience to a higher power to fulfil out needs. The thing that redeems us is not any action we may take (since we are innately flawed), but instead our trust, faith and obedience to/belief in God. The fact that we were created by such a perfect being -- specifically lifted up as his prize creation -- gives every single human a baseline of respect they 'earned' simply by existing as God's creation. Respect and love go hand-in-hand in this situation; thus, though it may seem out of your control and that you don't deserve such unconditional love, it was gifted to you by God, and you may as well accept it without doubting yourself or its legitimacy. Correct, you will never be perfect on your own,  but through God you 'deserve' the blessings he showers you with.

Or at least that's my interpretation of the general Christian belief.

No need to adopt my beliefs wholesale if they don't sit right with you, though. I think it's important to use others' beliefs to both challenge and strengthen our own worldviews. If there's some cognitive dissonance left resonating after such a discussion, investigate why! Maybe you'll be able to find fatal flaws in the opposition's case to confirm your beliefs, or maybe you'll switch camps in the end due to the evidence, or perhaps you’ll even come up with an entirely new explanation/solution that accommodates all of you and your trusted sources' observations!

Feel free to pop in and discuss more, if it'll make you feel better. We're always here to listen and engage, if only you're willing! :)
