What stage am I in?

This week we have been talking about Kierkegaard's stages on life's way. I don't agree that people can fit neatly into one category, aesthetic, ethical, or religious. Even having this opinion, I tried to discover which category I fit into. This proved extremely difficult. Of course I was not completely aesthetic. I definitely maintain an identity and have a set of morals I seem to act out on. On the other hand I could not be completely ethical either. Sometimes I put those morals that I stand on aside for other things such as love. I am also not religious because I am going through the process of questioning my religious beliefs in order to hopefully gain a stronger faith. I am also not as devoutly interested in the Christian way as I should be. So where do I fall? I can say I'm mostly ethical at this point, but not completely. I 'm sure I am not the only one who does not fit so neatly into these stages so I wonder how valid his belief is.
