Stay Classy

I'm worried about changing who I am because of someone else. Because sometimes I'm afraid to stand up 100% for it. I want to be that nice bubbly person that people enjoy... all the time.

Modesty. I am not immodest. Never have been. My mom taught my right from the beginning. But I used to be more concerned about it... and now I'm letting it slide how long I wear my swimsuit cover up instead of better clothes. That's not bad... it's obvious I was swimming... and I'm normally in my apartment anyhow. I won't every buy short shorts, I won't wear just a tank top... but as soon as I slip up in one place... it could lead to the next and the next. And in the Retreat for Girls camp they were giving a talk about modesty and doing a fashion show. Not only did the girls look put together, but she made a point... how you dress describes who you are. And if someone falls in love with you... it'll be for YOU, not for what you're wearing.

"Modest is Hottest, Ladies. "I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."

Therefore, stay classy.

I sometimes find it a lot harder to live the standards in Utah, because those who "believe the same as me" aren't keeping them. And it just gets hard to distinguish who truly cares about the principles and values that I've lived my whole life dedicated to. I won't raise my family here... but as I live here I am rededicating myself to making it VERY clear where I stand on every principle, value and commandment. I'm gonna be myself... and I don't even care who will judge it. I will do my weird and crazy thing... and I will have fun. I will raise the bar... and I will have joy. Can't wait til I have Liz and Emilee here... my great examples of this.
