Over the past two months God has let me die to him. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. John 12:24. He has let me reconcile with my Dad for the first him in 22 years. God is calling me to die to myself by donating my childhood possessions to the poor. God is letting me die to myself from fear of Marriage he is calling me to Holy Matrimony, just like in the sound of music when the nun says to Julie Andrews the Marriage is Holy also. I was using the idea of the priesthood to not face God’s will. Please pray that I have the strength to carry out God’s will in my life. God Bless!
 
My friend pointed this out and ever since this has stuck to me in a very good Holy way. When I learned to lose my life for the sake of God, all of the dog tags represent the advice of others whom I’ve ignored in the past and chased away with my ignorance. The purple arrows represent the pain and suffering that we endure in this life, but when I choose to die for the sake of the Kingdom of God, his Holy Will others will have life and be happy and the advice that others have given to me in the past 22 years of my life are not in vain since I’m not just existing, I’m living for God’s glory.

It sounds like you are recognizing positive changes for your future. How do you plan to enact these changes? Are you changing your daily activities, or will you keep the same routines while being impacted by this new awareness?
 
Holy Matrimony would bring my out of myself, to the point where I want to take care of myself and someone else.
 
There is nothing bad or wrong about any of this, but I strongly suggest that you work closely with a confessor or spiritual director. Tell him (or her, an SD does not necessarily have to be of the same sex, whereas obviously a confessor has to be a priest ergo man) what you have shared here.
