Blogspiration AKA 30 Days of Truths: Day 1

I pride myself on being truthful, and honest. So while I was sitting thinking of something I could use to motivate myself to do a bit more writing I stumbled upon this blog. She has a prompt for thirty days of truth.

I like the way that sounds. I like to say that I am an open book. Somebody wants to know something, just ask. I'll let you know... Here is her list (and I think complete with links back to her posts *Update* her posts no longer work, but the original blog is there):

Day 01 : Something you hate about yourself.Day 02 : Something you love about yourself.Day 03 : Something you have to forgive yourself for.Day 04 : Something you have to forgive someone for.Day 05 : Something you hope to do in your life.Day 06 : Something you hope you never have to do.Day 07 : Someone who has made your life worth living for.Day 08 : Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.Day 09 : Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.Day 10 : Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.Day 11 : Something people seem to compliment you the most on.Day 12 : Something you never get compliments on.Day 13 : A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.

And why.Day 30 : A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself

so without further adieu; here's the first day of thirty truths:

Day 1: Something you hate about yourself

Well, first off...I really don't like using hate. If I do, it is followed by be either apologizing for using such an atrocious word...or me adding: ...loathe and DESPISE.

I don't say I hate much of anything and the last thing I would do is say I hated anything about myself. I believe that we create our own happiness, and if we go around being negative all the time then life is going to reflect that. But I'm supposed to be talking about what I hate, here....not the meaning of life.

Ok, sure- we all have room for improvement, and we are our best critics but if I had to say there was one thing I hated it would have to be that I can't lie about my emotions. My face gives me away every time. Which, I guess, is a good thing, really. I have a hard time biting my tongue, and playing nice when I really would rather be giving a person a piece of my mind, and I know it is written all over my face as I'm chomping at the bit to blurt out a truth that needs airing.

That one was easy.

So, my two followers and other page hitters that have yet to post a comment...have you done one of these challenges? If so share the link with me, I'd love to read/see it!

And what do you hate about yourself? It better be "Not a darn thing" really. We have to love ourselves, and let the light shine~ so shine on...This Lil' Stone is rolling to bed. Nighty night, and new posting tomorrow! Yay!
