If you have read my blog previously you know that I grew up
in an unconventional kind of home, with an odd set of parents. They made their
way through this world with their own set of rules, a made up religion of parts
others religions, and little to no common sense. There were no family values on
raising children, and since I was born in the era of free love and drugs common
sense would have been a great asset to my parents for raising us kids.
I don’t condone nor
agree with any of my parents’ parental guidance; however I could go back to
living in a nudist community. There is always a good reason to get naked. No,
I’m not into free love and drugs, but I do love the freedom and wholeness being
naked makes me feel.
Uncomfortable clothing is just that, uncomfortable it
distracts you from your daily functions and makes you miserable. They pinch and bunch and never fit right. Clothing for
me is concealing and confining. Don’t take it as I have never found clothes
that fit, I do, even though their few and far between. That doesn’t mean they
are comfortable. Not to forget clothing is expensive.
There is a freedom in being naked that few enjoy because we have learned through society
to be embarrassed. It is
true we learned to be embarrassed. We probably learned this from Adam and Eve
in biblical times, to cover up and be ashamed of our bodies.
My parents never
instilled this since of shame on me; since they had no sense of a normal
religion must less a Christian one. My father has claimed to be Mormon my entire
life and my mom never affiliated herself with any one religion, so they made
their way with kids in tow, through life making things up as they went. Hence
the free love, drugs, and nudist colonies.
The freedom of being naked makes me feel like
there is nothing to hide behind, a deep acceptance comes over me,
and through this acceptance a deep calmness over takes me and gives me a sense
of control and confidence in myself that I have felt before. It’s truly a
unique empowerment that not everyone feels while their so open to others and
vulnerable.
The feeling of
being exposed is not for everyone, but you never know unless you try. Everyone should try doing laundry, cleaning the house, or any and everything naked!
