I was thinking about a line from the movie, where Molly Shannon is in the sex-ed class and is saying how her mother used to tell her
"No one will want to buy the whole ice cream truck if you're handing out popsicles for free."
This subject is one that is always on my mind. Throughout high school and college I've been called a "prude" a lot. This used to bother me. (Although, I just looked up the word - to check the spelling no less - and I think it's a little extreme to me but who knows what other people think.) Anyway, the moral is that it doesn't bother me anymore.
I suppose I always felt like it's a bad thing and that I should fit in more. Lately (over the past year or so) however I'm becoming more comfortable and even proud of my differences (I don't think I'm that different, I just don't know where all the others like me are!) I like how I was raised and I like convictions and my standards. I think it gives me the one-up on the whole self-esteem race.
Anyway, what is also important, is that it makes proud that I never have things to tell to Will that would disappoint him. And that each thing that we share is that much more valuable. Isn't that cool? It's the easiest way to invest ever!
Anyway, that's my opinion.
