Am I sexy yet????

I find it so interesting how everyone seems to be obsessed with the word sexy. If it's not labeled as sexy will someone buy it? For example I've seen: sexy banking, sexy fries, sexy clothes, sexy shoes, sexy weightloss, sexy phone plans, sexy car, etc. Do you get the picture?

Why must everything be sexy? At least in my mind, sexy is the equivalent of lust. And lust is the most selfish thing in the world. While it's nice to be thought of as attractive, who wants to be lusted after? Well, I guess girls with low self-esteem and daddy issues. So when did banking fall in that category. And who lusts after banking anyways? Can you understand why I'm confused? When did sexy become the best thing? What happened to kindness, love, and understanding? Why don't banks want to be labeled as that? I think it sounds much better.

So I think I decided to start a journey to be as un-sexy as possible. Not un-attractive. We don't want that (I have hopes of being married some day). But definitely not sexy. Modesty truly is the most attractive. I dream of being wanted for my eyes not my thighs (see how I rhymed there?). Life is good being the quiet girl in the corner instead of the one in the flashing lights. Life is good covered up instead of naked. Life is good being a solid 6 on the scale instead of a sexy 9 or 10. Life is good being healthy and in shape but not obsessed with having the best body. Life is good in sweatpants on the couch, watching a sappy movie with ice-cream AND caramel popcorn instead of being at a party.

To being un-sexy! May it be a lifelong ambition. I hope you all find your un-sexy side and embrace it, and make it your only side. Fill the world with true beauty and not flashy trash. Take pictures with silly faces that you might not look "your best" in. And love every moment of it.
