Happy New Year, but are you looking for something?

Happy New Year, but are you looking for something?

Around that time, I began researching other faiths, and found them all lacking, with many things that did not seem true or right, so, for many years my belief system has been fluid, I have rejected all man-made religions and follow a path seeking enlightenment on my own terms, with my own set of rituals and beliefs.
