30 Day challenge

Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.

Hatred (or hate) is an intense feeling of dislike. It may occur in a wide variety of contexts, from hatred of inanimate objects or animals, to hatred of oneself or other people, entire groups of people, people in general, existence, or everything. Though not always, hatred is often associated with feelings of anger.



i cannot think of anything i really hate about myself, based on this definition from good old wikipedia. i have never been that angry with myself. oh sure, i have disliked things about myself, the fact that my body is getting older and does not have the same shape as it did 20 yrs ago, but hey, it is older now, and things change. (oh and we are working on getting it back in shape).  

i have learned from my online support group for addictions/alcoholism, that hatred and anger have no real place in my life. holding onto these two evil things only makes one person miserable and that would be me. hatred and anger eat away at the very centre of myself, and that makes for a very sad self. i choose not to hate anything about myself, because i choose not to be a sad or miserable self. 

i guess i used to use the term hate for moving when i was a kid. it was hell for me as a teen in a small town , but that part of my life is long since gone, and i no longer 'hate' that, for that which didn't kill me makes me strong, the person i am today was built out of my past. so no, i cannot really think of anything i truly hate about myself. 

make today GREAT~  poet.

  3. I'm thinking that this is the worst question on the list...no one should be encouraged to think about something they "hate" about themselves. And I'm glad to hear that you don't hate anything about yourself. :)
