Thank you for sharing your journey!
It looks like the Chabad Rabbi you recently met with on Purim was very kind, gentle, understanding and honest.
I'm not sure there is much more to say. You feel "connected" to Judaism but know that you are not Jewish.
You can most certainly follow the values that Judaism teaches but I have a feeling that isn't enough for you.
You can also be around Jewish people and enjoy their customs but again, I feel that isn't enough for you.
There really are only 2 choices as I see it -
Enjoy Judaism, its values, teachings and people by being just who you are. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you feel a deeper connection is needed, then you could look into different denominations to see which may suit you best and convert.
What other choice is there?
Live a Godly life and you should be fine!
