Don't take it so personal

 Here lately there has been a lot of talk about beliefs and religion. And for anybody who doesn't know, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints also known as the Mormon church. My faith is something very personal to me mostly because they were something I had to fight for, I wanted to join the church when I was teenager but my father wouldn't allow it. When, I finally join as an adult I had to endure my family's disapproval of my choice. I had to deal with the people I loved and who were supposed to love me say every closed-minded comments about the church I had picked to attend. Some came around and if nothing else accepted that it was my choice other's never did come around. When you have to fight that hard for your belief's they become very personal, you become very passionate about them. That's why I hate when somebody says something hurtful about my belief's then tells me, " don't take it so personal". Because to me it is personal! I just don't understand why I wouldn't take it personal? Everybody has something that they are passionate about, belief's that define them, morals that they live their life by.
