30 Days of Truth is an exercise on being honest with yourself and letting people in to witness the dialogue. For thirty days, write about one subject that forces you to be introspective. Dig deep.
Every time I decide to start blogging I sit here and can't think of a damn thing to say. I thought doing the 30 days thing might help me. Or not.
And the first one? Oh, SO great. Something I hate about myself. I immediately started thinking, "hmm, horribly disfigured c-section mangled stomach, NO, my fucking NOSE I HATE MY NOSE, no, what about my upper thighs".
I really was going back and forth between all of the physical things that I hate about my body. And then I thought, I actually really hate that the first thing I think of to hate is something body image related. How lame is that? So the thing that I hate about myself is how obsessed I am with what is on the outside. Because you know what? It doesn't seem to be getting any better and I am fairly confident it's only downhill from here so I am going to attempt to shift my focus to things that are more important. Like....hmmmm.
I, for one, love your body and your nose. Though I haven't seen that mangled c-section thing, so maybe I would puke and agree. But for now, not so much.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, I've started this 30 day thing a few times, and I can't pick just ONE thing that I hate about myself, so I get tied up and can't write. I should have started and chose my messy room. Oh, live and learn.
I think this 30 day thing is a great way to start. I hope you blog. Your mind makes me happy!
Love to ya!
