30 Days

Recently I have seen a few things going around on the interwebs and on facebook, and as much as I usually scoff at memes and things such as that, there are two that made me go, "hmmm." Then I saved them to a google doc and, well, you guys are about to get the results of my "hmmmm"-ing.

The two that I'm going to work on completing have nothing to do with each other, but they are both thirty day things, so, what the hell. I'm going to combine them. However, they will not be my next 30 posts. They'll just, you know, show up whenever I feel like posting them.

Explanations.

The first I found on one of my favorite blogs, written by Erratic. This is called The 30 Days of Truth. Thirty posts, written entirely truthfully. I've already loved reading her first few, so, I'm stealing. Here are the thirty topics.

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.

Seems easy enough, right? Well, I've looked at a few of these and somewhat dread the honesty factor for some, so we'll see how it goes.

The second part, one of my favorite second cousins started posting on her facebook (I will not be linking to her facebook, since she has no clue I write this here bliggity blog). It is a thirty day photo challenge. She is creating a facebook album for all of it, but I'm just going to put it here. I may, after a while, add it to my own facebook, but we'll see how much I like it here. Yes, you all are my guinea pigs.

Picture topics:

Day 01: a photo of you today.
Day 02: a photo of yourself at least a year ago.

Day 06: a photo of someone you love.

Day 29: a photo of your favorite person from history.
Day 30: a photo you find beautiful.

As you can see, the lists don't really have anything to do with each other. I'm ok with that. Some of that first list? Going to get REAL serious up in here. The pictures, well, hopefully not. And, though I know it will disappoint you, I will not be titling these with songs. Shake your fists and gnash your teeth if you must.

So. My day one post will actually go up later today. And then? We'll see how it goes.
