To Be or Not To Be?

So today I was again told that I am very "sheltered."  I have been.called "goody goody" and sheltered my whole life.  Normally I would be offended because to me those words mean stupid and unknowing.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that says a lot (hopefully) of what is important to me.
I don't need to know what pipes are used for what drugs.  I don't need to know the sexual referances and jokes.  I don't need to know the slang terms for homos and les.  I don't care. 
I want to return to my Father in Heaven.  I want to be cleansed through my Savior Jesus Christ.  I want to know how to receive more revelation.  I want to know how to have more meaningful prayers.  I want to know how to make people smile and brighten other's life.  I want to know what I need to do to become the woman Heavenly Father wants me to be.
If all of this constitutes me as "sheltered" and "goody goody" then so be me.    I am here to become more like Christ.  To follow in HIS footsteps.  Not the world's.  The world can not teach me to become a better person and how to repent.
Please do not missunderstand me.  I am not trying to put myself on a pedistool.  I am not trying to be cauky.  All I want to show is that I know what my purpose is and if I am to be "sheltered" by it and not "street smart," be it so. 
Just a little thought there....
