2 cents just for you

So I was writing a big long rant this morning, but then we had to run to church and the day went on and now the fire just isn't there anymore-lucky for you I'm sure haha.  But...since I still think it's important to think about or point out I'll just briefly say what it was about:

i don't like how some members of the church (LDS, Mormons) judge and divide each other into sub-groups.  Like saying someone is a conservative mormon vs a liberal mormon etc (and im not referring to political stances but how people live the gospel).  It seems to mostly happen in utah but I've heard it in texas too.  I think I understand where it comes from.
Growing up in Texas I felt like I had a clear, unique identity and being a mormon and being involved in music was a large part of that.  When I went to BYU and was suddenly surrounded by people who believed exactly as I did, lived the same standards I did, and all seemed to magically be able to sing or play the piano it was suddenly hard to feel special or unique.  I searched for ways to distinguish myself.  Suddenly when I'd introduce myself I would draw attention to the fact that I was from Sugar Land, Texas.  Not even Houston-I would say Sugar Land first because people seemed to like that more.  I never was a texas pride person but in a heavily mormon environment I clung to it just to feel separate from the crowd.  Maybe that's why people have to further divide themselves into "conservative" or liberal mormons- dissect and examine every little choice/standard followed whether it's "doctrine" or not etc.  Outside of Utah you're just happy to see another Mormon- who cares, just nice to see someone who supports my basic core beliefs.
Please don't fall into the trap of judging someone cause you think they're too lax or too strict with how they live the gospel...just don't do it-we're all on each others' side.  There's just no way to use these terms without it sounding judgmental and negative.  Other than the black and white doctrine of the church, there is no universal right or wrong when it comes to those different decisions that seem to land you in the 'conservative' or the 'liberal' camp.  We're all trying to (or at least should be trying to) follow the spirit's promptings and we're all different so what I'm prompted to do or not do may not be the same for you and that's ok.

anywho, just my two cents.

I kind of feel like everything seems too divisive these days-especially amongst women.  (another thing I was ranting about earlier).  It always seems like it's working moms vs stay at home moms, public school moms vs home school moms, feminists vs (women who embrace what's considered old-fashioned gender roles in the eyes of feminists? to be perfectly honest I don't know why a feminist would ever be mad at another woman when I thought their thing was to be treated with equal respect by men but somehow women are always fighting each other and men are never in the picture....)

  Why can't we all just be on each others' sides?  Life is hard enough as it is without turning on each other-now's when we need to support each other and not loose sight of that in the midst of our different causes/ opinions.
