I even had lost my faith for a while. I was becoming an agnostic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it was really hard, because I was always very religious, and for a few years, maybe because&#8211;it sounds so corny&#8211;I was not feeling the love like it was supposed to be, I started to think that there was no God.
