It's so difficult being Catholic some times. I'm so tired of feeling guilty for the things I say, do and think. It's almost as if everything fun goes against the Church's teachings. And I'm so tired of being so incredibly non-judgemental, because although my friends do all that I feel guilty about doing (and therefore don't), I don't believe they're going to Hell just because of that. I believe that they're good people, and will still go to Heaven... but that if I do what they do, I won't go. Why is that?

I sometimes wish I wasn't born Catholic, but was instead one of those who repent and convert later in life, thereby ensuring that not only would I get to enjoy life, but I'd also go to Heaven (maybe after a long wait in Purgatory).
