Just gonna throw it out there that sometimes I just do not like living in Utah. It's like we're in this freaking bubble. A bubble where if you don't go to church every Sunday or do a certain thing or look or act a certain "appropriate" way, you'll be judged for it. Yes, I am Mormon. No, I do not go to church every Sunday and honestly haven't been in months. And yes, I have some issues with the church. That doesn't mean I don't believe in or love our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, I do believe God is up there listening to our prayers and that he gives us trials and blessings. I say my prayers, I have morals and standards- maybe I like to cuss a little much... But I think being spiritual is more important than being religious. Because you can be one with out being the other.
I believe that being compassionate and loving and respectful of others and selfless and non-judgemental and trying to be a genuinely good person, serving others, and
doing your best... having a good heart.. is more important than living up to this "appropriate image." I know people with peircings and tattoos who smoke cigarettes too and I honestly think are the sweetest people in the world. Doing things like that doesn't make someone a bad person. There's certainly more important things to be focusing on than sitting around judging people. We are in no place to judge anyone. We don't know their situation and life experiences.. We don't know what's in their heart. Have an open mind. I mean really, to each their own, but I think life should be a little more about love and peace and humanity.
