30 Days of Truth.




I've decided to challenge myself and participate in 30 Days of Truth. If you'd like to join in, go HERE! 
I can't promise that this will be an everyday thing.
I do know that It will be a good exercise for me and I'm pretty excited.
Maybe I'll even learn new things about myself or learn to love/appreciate myself.

Day 1.
Something you HATE about yourself:
I rarely use the word hate, it's just too blunt and mean for me so I prefer to say dislike.

 
1. I dislike my BODY. My whole freaking entire body. And no, this is NOT because I am currently pregnant. I've just never enjoyed my body. I critique every inch of it. But have no motivation to do anything to change it. I've always tried to take the easy way out to get a perfect body. And to me, that perfect body, was stick thin. Think Mary-Kate Olsen. The whole outcome makes me feel lazy, which I also dislike.

2. I dislike the fact that I have a certain way to clean. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT a neat freak but I have a way that everything has to be done and if it's not good enough, I get upset like a little girl. The dishes have to be cleaned perfectly, the floor swept perfectly, the laundry folded a certain way and put back in the exact spot. It's tiring, especially when I need help from the love.

3. I dislike my insecurity about my scars. I've never felt so embarrassed about something. It's extremely uncomfortable and painful when people, strangers for that matter, ask me what happened to my arms. I have no response, no answer, nothing to say to them. I'm extremely upset and ashamed of what I did...to myself. This is something that is very difficult for me to get past. I doubt I'll ever forgive myself...but there is hope.

4. I don't like the way I hide my feelings from the person I love. When Justin and I get into an argument or if something that is said deeply hurts me, every part of me completely shuts down. I want to be alone and cry. I don't want to tell him what's wrong or for him to "try" to understand how I'm feeling when I don't even understand why I am like this. I've always had this issue. I've never been able to completely open up and explain my emotions and at times, this really hurts my relationship with Justin.
