I struggled with what to do for a long time. I then decided to accept I may never know and started trying, failing and succeeding. Personally,, I now aim to be a solid person and live according to the things I believe. I also stopped blaming and tearing everyone down in my head. Everyone's a hypocrite, including me. Shouldn't stop us from trying.

Stuff that helped. Learning about Mother Theresa. Checking my ego and realizing it's not all life or death. Knowing that friends come and go and that's how life works - you don't have to stay in touch with everyone. Don't be ashamed of what you enjoy unless it hurts others. Video games do not hurt others. Graffiti on someone's car hurts others.

Final thought, we're not supposed to understand god or any higher power until we're dead. It's impossible. It's not a hard question to conclusively answer, it's impossible. Maybe something is there, but who knows. I still pray and live by a moral code and read up on faiths. Got a lot of respect for faith leaders. But they don't know for sure, and you can't either.

I included this last bit because it was constantly on my mind when I was struggling with this stuff
