Shruti, even though I grew up in a different religion to you, it’s uncanny how many parallels there are between our journeys. It’s been nearly 20 years since I left a religious group I was deeply involved with and committed to. It was the path I needed to be on at that time, and there were many positives; but there was also a cost to forcing myself into a box that didn’t quite fit. I don't condemn the path, but it was not a path I personally could stay with for a lifetime.
Like you, I consider myself to be both a believer and a seeker. And like you, my beliefs and ideologies have changed drastically over the years. I’ve also reached the same conclusion you have: I might not have absolute answers for everything, but continuing the process of self-exploration outside formal, organized religion has allowed me to discover myself more.
I am so happy to have met you and am looking forward to the day we meet in person. And yes, I believe you are also honest and authentic in your life journey and thus the synchronicity. Loads of love and warm hugs my fellow seeker :)
