30 Days of Truth

There’s this thing floating around the blogosphere called 30 Days of Truth.  I’m not sure where it all started but I first got the idea from this gal (who I like because we have the same first name and she gives good tweet).  Basically it’s a series of writing prompts that challenge you to write the truth about yourself. 

I think I’m going to try this because it may help with the nagging thought that plagues me now that I’ve started this blog which is: what the hell do I write about?  Of course this is immediately followed by the other nagging more bitchy thought: If you don’t know what to write about why the fuck did you start this thing?  To which the original thought comes back with: Shut up bitch!

And if that little revelation did not convince you I’m already crazy, maybe reading what I have to say about the proposed 30 days of truths will: 

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. (write a letter.)
Day 14 ? A hero that has let you down. (letter)
Day 15 ? Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
Day 16 ? Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Day 17 ? A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
Day 18 ? Your views on gay marriage.
Day 19 ? What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Day 20 ? Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Day 21 ? (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
Day 22 ? Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
Day 23 ? Something you wish you had done in your life.
Day 24 ? Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
Day 25 ? The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
Day 26 ? Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Day 27 ? What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 ? What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
Day 29 ? Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Day 30 ? A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself

The manner in which these prompts are presented suggests that they be done one a day for 30 days but from what I’ve seen on the blogs I read many people are writing them at their own pace. This is the route I have decided to take as well because there is no way I could address all this in a mere 30 days.  First off because I don’t blog everyday.  But secondly, I find this project a little unnerving because it puts me out of my comfort zone and if I were to devote a concentrated 30 days to this I think I would end up in therapy. Either that or possibly divorce court. 

So here we go!  Well, not now but in a couple of weeks.
