I've been mulling this over in my head for over two weeks now, and I can tell this will be a tough project for me. In part because I'll have to write every day about myself for 30 whole days, and while I don't mind writing superficial stuff about myself, digging deeper into my psyche isn't so easy. And this something I hate about myself? Oh my gods, how many things can I think of? I could write all day and probably not run out of things that I hate about myself. So do I limit myself to one thing I hate, or one group of similar things, or just start typing randomly and let a bunch come out? And do I write about things I can change, and use this as a catalyst for that change, or do I write about things that I have no real control over? Why yes, I do overthink things quite often, did you notice? I think I'll assume that something means one thing, and go with that, so that I don't wind up typing a whole novel about the things I hate about me. Or maybe a couple, I don't know.
It'll be harder to list things I love about myself, because I don't tend to think of those nearly as often. Some of the later ones seem like they will be really easy, and will probably flow right off my fingertips onto the keyboard. A few of them look like they will be really fun. Regardless, I'm going to commit to this and write about them every day for the next 30 days, starting tomorrow with (duh) number 1. I'll have to resist the temptation to sit down and write out all 30 days at once, since I have a tendency to do stuff like that. I guess there isn't really a *right* or *wrong* way to be honest, it's all about just letting the words come as they may. So that is what I'll do. For now, let's go back to a lighter topic; I'll be posting some swatches in a few minutes.
