I have become a Buddhist.

I have been in and out of religion. I just couldn't stay in a religion so I quit it altogether. I was an atheist but then an old wise man told me that all humans needed a purpose. All humans needed something to believe in. I researched Buddhism, learned and learned. Then I became an Buddhist and my life changed. My thoughts are fewer since i reject them. I focus on the present. I am calmer. Buddhism feels right for me and I am so happy I made this decision. Now I follow Dharma. I slapped a fly today and I did a prayer for it, something I have never done before. I now value all life. I ain't perfect and I still go against the Buddha's teachings sometimes but I try to be a better Buddhist, a better person. And I know that I can reach Nirvana. I wanted to share this with you guys because Buddhism is life changing. (I put announcement in my flair cuz i did not know what else to put, I hope thats allowed.)
