1.adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
Past few days has been quite a bit of a ride for me. I went to my usual therapist and she mentioned that I am so 'blocked' up and 'stuffed' around my chest area. I couldnt explain to her that there are many things going through my brain and it does affect my general mood. I struggled to whether if I should blog about this post as this is quite personal and I really think it is not fair to raise it up. But after careful consideration, I think it is necessary as one of the leader in the plus size industry, I need to cast everything aside and remind/warn you girls about the importance of integrity.
What is integrity? To me, it is about being honest to whom you meet, to what you are promised to do and to stay true to yourself and your believes. Integrity is also a form of respecting yourself, loving yourself and more importantly identifying yourself as a person. If you ask me, a person who does not have integrity, does not deserve to earn any respect from any one. Intergrity is facing the music when shit happens and you face it with dignity. Integrity is importants when someone entrust you with love and confidence in you in hope you can make their lives better. Integrity is making sure you fulfil what you have promised people. Intergrity is not telling lie. Do not give customers the wrong impression that authentic korean, USA and Hong Kong clothing are cheap because they are not. They cost way way more and no, lying to them is not right at all.
For the past 5 years, KAYLENE (formerly known as Lavender Closet) has stayed true and faithful to her customers and her believes. YES, we 'upgraded' and got more expensive if you would like me to put it bluntly but the idea of upgrading and more expensive clothes is to make sure that you girls get the best material and quality we can find. The idea of owning quality and timeless pieces had became our priority in serving you and making sure you get the best we can offer. Of course we are not the best and I am very sure we can improve even better. BUT never did we ever will put ourselves in a situation where we do underhand means and do evil things to get more customers and earn more profits. The rumours spread back from years ago till today are ALL untrue. We did not go through despicable ways to get more customers. We did our job properly and steadily and achieve what we have by scrimping and saving and making sure at the end of the day you girls will come in to shop in peace and confidence with our products.
It upsets me when I heard nasty rumours that DOESNT even exist and worse, spread like wild fire for the past few years. Most of the time, I tend to laugh it off and tell myself to stay focus. Of course there are days when I cuddle up on bed and weep silent tears and tell myself not to be too harsh and forgive the rest as they are also in the dark, blinded by fools who tricked them into believing into them. But trust me when I say I am in pain, my heart bleeds badly.
I would like to take this chance to remind girls who ever has misunderstanding or had a bad painted picture of me. I am very sorrry that somehow or another I have hurt you. But do give me a chance to tell you my side of story should you want to judge me. I on the other hand will not judge you for judging me as I know that it wasnt your fault as you were just being you, innocent and pure and believed whatever has been said to you.
And to the people who has no integrity. I really pray you read this post. Because I wanna ask you;
What is your definition of integrity? Why would you want to do this to hurt so many people? What did you get in return? Why did you push so many innocent people into this bottomless pit with you? Why did you even encourage them to follow you when you are not worthy to be the leader? Why did you spoke evil of people that were untrue and why did you seperate us? Where is your integrity when you did all these? Can you sleep properly at all? Seriously~ why do all these to hurt the innocent people?
I truly pray to God to heal your souless body.
