Day Six: Something you hope you never have to do.
I’ve already done it; said goodbye to someone I shouldn’t have had to lose.
Whether it was a friend, family member, or the two little ones who left before they arrived, I’ve said goodbye to a lot of people I wasn’t ready to lose.
I’m sure I’ll do it again but it never gets easier. It tears through your soul & no amount of “everything happens for a reason” makes it right.
Day Five: Something you hope to do in your life.
I’ve actually blogged about this before, so I’ll link up that post Here.
I figure I’ll revisit that list & see if I’ve crossed anything off it yet.
There’s always things I want to do professionally. There’s always someone I want to interview, something fascinating I want to write about. It’s why I love my job so much; it’s ever changing.
Personally, it’s just that list & maybe graduate for a second time & actually become a law clerk & travel to two places: New Orleans & Ireland. But otherwise, it’s those six things & I fully intend to accomplish them all.
Day four: something that you have to forgive someone for.
Every song tells a story.
Every artist creates a song hoping it will tell a story, with the hope that it will become a part of your life. That song will remind you of a moment in time & stay with you forever. That song tells a story that is individualized to your own personal tale.
Day two: Something you love about yourself
Day one: something you hate about yourself.
That’s easy; almost everything.
I hate how I look. I always say I’m vain because I won’t leave my house without perfect hair & makeup when in reality, I think au natural moi looks like crap. The thought of anyone seeing me in my yoga pants with my hair a mess scares me more than a little. The boyfriend hates when I say I hate how I look & when I used the “you haven’t seen me first thing in the morning” comeback, he says he has & I look beautiful. I told him to get his eyes checked.
I sometimes wonder how he puts up with me. He’s wonderful; handsome, quiet, smart, funny, mature & level headed & I’m…an idiot. I have the worst time management skills, I talk way too much about every subject, especially my job, I work too much, I’m hypersensitive, I can be an immature goofballI, I sing along with the music at the mall & I cry a lot. The fact that he’s willing to a) be seen in public with me & b) deal with my lunacy & tell me it’s adorable makes him either even more wonderful or completely insane.
Truthfully, I wonder how anyone puts up with me. My friends are the most awesome people I know & they’re stuck with me as their companion. Personally if I had to listen to me cry after I Effed up AGAIN, I would have put me down Old Yeller Style, especially Drew. He clearly has the patience of a saint, as he deals with my immaturity, over analyzing & general kookiness. He deserves his own holiday.
I don’t have a lot of qualities that I like. I’m overweight, almost all of my character traits are flawed & I’m a huge pain in the ass. Most days, I’m pretty okay with this, because I’m still more fortunate than most people. I have my girls, an interesting job, opportunities, a relationship I’m happy with & an amazing support system (who are going to slap me when they read this hahaha) & I managed to do it all even though I am a huge pain in the ass! Then there are the other days, when I look @ myself & wonder what anyone sees in me that’s worth knowing.
The one good thing is that my daughters are much smarter than I am. They KNOW they’re amazing & I tell them so every single day. I want them to be much more secure than I am & not a therapist’s dream. They’ll go much farther in life than I have & will change the world for the better. They’re my greatest accomplishment & I often wonder what I did to deserve them, so I would know to do it every day.
I like to steal ideas from Nikki. It’s cool for me.
Seriously though, this might be a good blogging project. It would give me a chance to write something new every day & maybe gain more insight. Maybe people will learn something new. Who knows. But I’ll start this March 1/12!
I saw this blogging challenge over at Cogito Ergo Blog and found it really interesting – so I’m going to jump right in and have at it! Like Nate said, it is supposed to be something done consecutively for 30 days but I’m basically just going use it as filler and to inspire some posts between regular blog posts.
I’m going to link back to all of them here – feel free to play along!
