There comes a time when we all âfallâ from grace, so to speak. Unfortunately, after deliberating with a decision that I made to post some pictures of myself (explicit pictures), I found myself struggling internally about my own ethical and moral responsibilities to myself and to those whom I engendered a respect from.
My new avatars that have been posted have truly brought a lot of attention (positive and negative), and you all know I love attention! However, it was attention that I generally do not wish to bring to myself. I tend to be an old fashion type of girl when it comes to conservativism about appearance and dress, in many regards. Obviously, I had a lapse in judgment, especially when deciding to post those pics for the world to see. As many of you know, I do have high aspirations and those types of pictures could be daunting, especially if they ever came within the public eye and within public scrutiny.
Donât get me wrong; I do not regret taking the pictures, as it was a liberating experience for me. Yet, it was one that I would normally resist. I suppose temptation got the best of me. And, along with that temptation came desperation to âfeel sexy,â âto feel pretty,â and âto feel desired.â Women like to be told they are all those things. I flirted with the issue and really pushed the envelope to garnish that attention I so desperately wanted â and I got it. But it was attention that was not true to my own persona or morality.
I do not want people to see me as something I am not. I am not shallow, nor am I easy but I feel the pics I took possibly display an image of me that could lead many to believe those things. Moreover, now that I reflect and really look at the pictures, I see how they could be misconstrued as to serving the mentality and ideology of some that I am provocative, border line whoredom and not quite the woman they expected me to be.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines morality as âthe quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct; virtuous conduct.â I personally feel I stepped out of bounds when I decided to post those pictures. That was a decision that caused me to question myself and to have an internal conflict that I cannot resolve until I personally apologize to all those whom Iâve offended, to those whom I shocked or lost your respect and finally to myself.
I suppose we all have to learn our own strengths and weaknesses and take responsibility for them accordingly. As such, I am. Again, please accept my sincerest apologies. It is my hope I can rebuild the relationship of trust and respect that I have come to appreciate from so many of youâ¦.
Always,
