I know that it has long since been time to recommit myself to banishing the last traces of my stepfather's attitudes from my life. Yet for the life of me I find myself clinging to his perspective. I don't blame this on him, as it is entirely possible I'd have embraced the world's point of view even without him; after all, I'd certainly already taken steps along that road when he entered my life. So even though I've never acted in accordance with those attitudes, chasing after cheap gratification in ways that casually disregard my loved ones and any commitment to purity, that part of me that still feels that I've "missed out on the 'fun'" has got to go.
I can't root it out myself, Lord. Help me.
