What conference talks about

Every box is a subject. The bigger it is, the more talks touched it that decade. Drag through the decades and watch them trade places.

I'm a member of the Church. I've served in multiple bishoprics, and I've also been on the list of inactive members who need to be saved. I'm grateful for the guidance the Church has given me on my relationship with my Heavenly Father and my Savior.

I didn't serve a mission, and I've got a pile of imperfections, but I find joy and hope in the gospel. Even though I constantly feel like I don't fit in.

What I struggle with sometimes is the absolutes, the kind of thinking where there's only one way to see anything. The whole "you didn't do it the way I would have, so you did it wrong" kind of thing.

You're probably working through your own version of it. Fitting in. How something this big fits you. How it fits into a world that keeps changing. Maybe not, though. If not, congrats!

If you aren't a member, that's cool too.

Here's what I keep coming back to. Help others. Be kind. Be humble and confident. If you get to choose between being right and being kind, choose kind.

And your value isn't tied to what anyone thinks of you. You're a child of God.
