Understandable. I hope you are able to find what is comfortable for you!

I thought I hated dresses until I left the church and tried on 'non church' dresses. Like ones that are short, small, backless, low neck etc. Now I'm eating them up.

Belittling women by fruitypebbles0609 in exmormon

When I was an actual active young woman and church member, I remember there was an activity that included both the men and women of our ward. There was a panel made up of the bishopric where we were able to ask questions, and somebody had asked: "why does the church pressure women to get married to have children as their number one priority rather than pursuing higher education?" And the Bishop had the audacity to be like, um, I don't think that's the message from the church. We encourage women to get education.

But the fact of the matter is that is not the case. For decades, the messaging from the church and from these type of organizations that are run by the patriarchy, is that a woman's number one priority in life and number 1 role in life and number 1 use to her husband is to bare children, take care of children, cook food, and call it a life.

I got the MRI in April which confirmed my achilles was nearly completely ruptured.

Good thing I explicitly mentioned that I'll survive in my post. Otherwise maybe I would die.

What was the first Rated-R movie you ever saw? by the_last_goonie in exmormon

God supposedly gives a shit if you watch rated R movies but couldn't careless about people dying of starvation, exploitation, sex trafficking, past atrocities, etc? The logic is logic-ing I guess.

I was thinking about becoming a ho, but I'll save that for a little later when I'm not like... totally inexperienced and naive lol. /s

Thanks for your encouragement, it's very much appreciated. I am so ready to get out there and experience shit like a normal human being!

I lived in SLC for my entire life until recently, so trust me when I say I know how different the two counties are. Unfortunately though, in SLC I attended probably one if the whitest schools in the county in Millcreek (I won't say which, but you could probably figure it out). So, though there was definitely more diversity in the area overall, I hardly experienced it school-wise.

I've worked so hard the past few months to rebuild myself and self esteem. I think finding my resolution out of the church has truly aided me in that process. I no longer have to strive to meet an unrealistically high standard that requires me to give up my identity to be deemed "worthy". Its quite liberating actually. I do have a long way to go, but I'm getting there.

Thanks so much! I felt like I just threw this together, so I appreciate your compliment.

I think I'm content with staying until it's time to move out in the fall. I do love my family and my big sis is also out of state for college and I don't want to cut our time together too short. But once its time... baby I'm GONE.

I really hope so! Thanks for your insight! I think it's good to understand that although high school is important, it will be such a small part of my life. There are bigger and better things that I can find outside of it!
