Modesty
So there has been this debate going on at BYU about what is modest and what is not. On Valentine's day a girl who was wearing a shorter skirt with leggings was given a note by a guy and it was asking her to be more modest. I didn't give much thought to this matter until my roommate and I were talking about this exact situation. I started thinking about if I was the girl in this situation. If someone told me that the way I was dressing was impacting them in a negative way, I would feel very uncomfortable with my outfit. I don't want to be that girl that puts bad thoughts into a man's head. We are told to stay away from gray areas, so why is it that so many people are trying to justify this whole leggings ordeal. I don't want to be flirting with the edge of the cliff. President Hinckley once said, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Choose today what you stand for; do you want to represent modesty or immodesty? One giant step to becoming more virtuous is to get away from the gray areas! Today, I choose to be 100% modest from here on out. I want to be able to look at myself before I leave the house and feel comfortable and confident that I am modest and that no one will question my standards. If you were to meet your maker today, would you feel comfortable in His presence?
