Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Six:  Underwear

I was reading this article: http://hellogiggles.com/what-is-sexy?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter and trying to really understand what SEXY means.  I find things sexy in men that a lot of people kind of find bizarre, and while not revealing all of that here, I just wish that more people my age focused on quality conversations and personalities and experiencing things with people as opposed to the skirts, boobs and makeup that we wear during.

Well maybe a lot of people my age don’t actually care about those things.  Maybe they really do genuinely care about conversations, and the feeling you get when you climb a mountain, and spending four months only casually drinking so that you will not forget any moment.  What is it with everyone’s obvsession with being sexy anyway?  I can admit when I get ready to go to the bar I try to feel and look sexy, there, and sometimes I seek validation outside of my own head (because if I do say so myself I feel sexy all of the time…) and maybe that makes me a hypocrite.

I wish I didn’t, though.  It’s easy enough to say I don’t care about what other people think, but we all do.  Acknowledge it, and regardless of what other people think just be comfortable with who you are.  Maybe I’m not Cosmo’s definition of sexy but I am confident enough to deal with it.

Is that how body image should be though?  Dealt with?  Or should it be embraced?  Challenged?  Ignored?  Is there really a “right” way to do anything anymore?  Are all of these questions even relevant?  Should I just give up?  Read the article and get back to me.
