To some extent, I consider myself a humanist, though I believe all people share some humanist values. As a religious person, my life is guided by a belief in a higher being, which sometimes makes it challenging to fully embrace humanism. I follow many of the same ethical principles humanists do, though not just because I believe they are right, but also because they align with the values my religion upholds.

However, I do share humanist ideas like the belief in human potential and the importance of equality and freedom. I believe that people can achieve anything if they put in the effort, which drives me to constantly challenge myself, even when failure happens.

Freedom and equality are, for me, essential to a fulfilling life, and I am grateful to have grown up in an environment where these values were given to me. I cannot imagine being restricted in my lifestyle or judged solely based on specific aspects of myself.

Ultimately, I see my humanist beliefs and religious values as complementary, both helping me have a life that I consider amazing.
