Confession Time!
I have a confession, and many of you already know, but many of you don't: I'm not perfect. I'm not some little Mormon girl who just follows all the rules perfectly and without complaint. If I allowed myself, I'd wear quite a few immodest outfits, and as it is my clothes are right on the border. In fact, I've been told as much before. That is one weakness I'm not ashamed to admit.
I have another confession: I don't believe that reading into other religions is horrible. In fact, I do so for fun! I've often believed that if I weren't Mormon, I would definitely be either Buddhist or Wiccan (not necessarily in that order). I believe that many of their guidelines on life and the world around us go right alongside my own beliefs. In fact, I research their practices and beliefs and test them out once in a while, just for fun.
Yet another confession: I actually follow horoscopes. Not because I believe they are true, but because they are fun and interesting. Whether we want to believe it or not, our personalities are partially developed through the outside world, and it's not uncommon to find that our zodiacs actually do kind of describe us. In fact, for the most part, my own zodiac can you tell you a lot about me!
One last confession: I am a feminist, and fairly open-minded, whether I act that way or not. I do believe in science, and that science and religion can work together. They don't have to be separate. God wants us to learn as much as we can while down here on earth. We may not have everything right as far as science goes, but science is working toward the truth, just like religion, and they can go hand in hand. I am a feminist as far as believing that women and men deserve equal rights. Women have as much right to a fair wage as men do, and believing that men deserve a higher wage because they are the breadwinners is an antiquated thought system. That's just the way I am.
I don't care what anyone else thinks. They can think I'm an idiot for all I care. I won't change unless changing pleases me, because if someone wants me to change then they can't accept me for who I really am: Clarissa. Lover of horoscopes, stars, science (okay, maybe not completely, but some aspects are kinda cool), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Charmed, self-help guides (more of a recent development), reading, writing, singing, dancing, make up, fashion, nature, religion, red hair, latin americans, cute accents, Portugal, and much more. If you can accept me for who I am, I can accept you for who you are.

PS: If you have any suggestions for new blog posts or for writing better blogs, be sure to let me know! I'm running out of ideas, although I do have a few that I am in the process of writing right now!
