Its not that I do anything horrible or lead a double life - its just - Ugghh I can never really explain it in words - its just a feeling I guess.
That vague, unsettling notion that there's something more? That "goodness" is a real thing, but might be unattainable by any amount of purely human effort? When God starts talking to someone, that's commonly the first part of the dialogue. Talk back. Make sure your mind's open first, then ask what's going on. If you're listening, an answer will come.

Notice I didn't mention religion.
