So for a lil context , i might be a lot stupid and ask such stupid question forgive me ,so im 20 yrs old and i came to know about spirituality and then got a lot involved thru a guy i used to date ,thay went really horrible for me ,evrytime as i used to save my relationship when it was falling apart he would constantly say its just your ego , u do not want this, but clearly since long the one thing i craved for and wished to hve was a loving genuine partner and have a small family with them, but is that my ego? Shld i not crave for it?is it wrong? I mean most of the spirituality guru s who i used to follow were telling evrything is about ego and ull gain ntg from it .. which i kinda agree.. but can anyone explain me. Is wishing for a spouse really is a bad thing? And since im young i thought this new year will bring me a lot of productive side of me since last year drained me in evry way possible this new year i would work physically, mentally,spiritually and also start a heavy grind for my career ,i mean since breakup i hve been reaching very good heights in my career, is this all ego too?

I’ve been thinking lately about the idea of confessing to a priest instead of directly to God. Even if a belief isn’t fully true, I tend to think there’s usually a small truth tucked inside it somewhere. So what’s the truth here? Right now, I’m leaning toward this: confession may be less about who you’re confessing to, and more about what energy or frequency you’re feeding when you do it. Guilt, humility, release, accountability, forgiveness—those are internal states. Maybe no other being is actually required for that process to work. As a kid, I thought about it in a much simpler way: If God can hear me everywhere… why do I need a “cellphone to God” via a priest? That question earned me some very intense stares in religion class 😂 But honestly, it still feels valid. As an adult, I can see more layers. There’s the human aspect: saying things out loud, being witnessed, ritual, structure, tradition, and accountability. There’s also community psychology—sometimes people need a mirror, a guide, or a safe container to let something go. And for some, the priest represents authority, absolution, or a symbolic stand-in for God that makes forgiveness feel real. So maybe the answer isn’t either/or. Maybe it’s a little of this and a little of that. Maybe confession works because it shifts your internal state, focuses your intention, and moves you from shame into release—regardless of whether it’s God, a priest, a journal, or your own quiet thoughts doing the listening. Curious what you all think. Sincerely, the little Catholic girl who asked too many questions and survived 😌

I find myself incredibly sexually attracted to men and completely repulsed by the vagina. Conversely I find myself drawn to strong women and repulsed by men when it comes to other qualities that have to do with the ego or personality. I am very sexually confused...it's eluded me all my life. I've been taking the tantric path to try and pinpoint when and at what point I get aroused. What should I do so that my desires don't overtake me...or take me down a dark road?
