Has anyone else ever experienced a joy in understanding that the way you behaved in the past, a way that was frowned upon by "proper" behaving folks, turned out to be something you have felt proud of later?
I am referring to acting in a somewhat immature manner in a relationship. In the past episode, at the time I felt like I was rebelling against everything I had learned was true and proper. Even against "God".
But in fact I realize now that I was following my own heart. And that is always the best thing to do. (Within reason of course). But I honestly think that following your heart in relationships is the best choice. Even if you crash and burn, at least it happens sooner than later, and, sometimes that might even be the best outcome for certain people. The other "mature" people were following a lie, I now believe. They were not really following the truth.
The pain and betrayal was the fire that forged the steel that became my soul. . . .
And the evolution of the Skydive Outlaw began.
I grew to eventually be grateful for that experience.
Although on some level, I now journey in this world. . . . . half a life, without her.
She was my drug of choice and a touch of evil. . . . . .my dark angel. Just as wounded and scarred as I was and somehow on those long nights, without words being spoken as two bodies and what was left of our souls merged the only way we could and for a moment in time, I felt that her touch could heal.
Wrong I was, and in the end it was the pain and betrayal that forced me to become the man I was always meant to be. Although as I said, destined to walk through this world. . . .half a life without her.
Garth Brooks? Lol. I think he might tend to fall into her side's way of thinking, possibly. They believe in something that I know is wrong. They have all crossed a line into madness that I am glad I avoided.

Do you agree or disagree with this idea?
This is really way too vague for me to agree or disagree.
I could very well agree with the theory, but of course it really depends on the definition of "following your heart."

I would define it as going against what her church believed was the acceptable form of behavior. I will never follow such a sick man-made institution, even to the point of rebelling against some of the things it values.

The first thing that came to mind when reading your post was rationalization. It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that what ever you did in the past was ok or didn't matter but somewhere you know it's the opposite. I think instead of rationalizing, we need to own our behavior, accept full responsibility for our actions and be true to ourselves.
Sounds like immaturity is still a problem for you. When you grow up you will (hopefully) be able to accept that people have different beliefs and you don't have to rebel against them. Just be your own person and let them do the same.

Amen to that brotha! Those fools will be left high & dry in their own ignorance.
