30 Days of Truth: Day 3



Day 3
Something you have to forgive yourself for.

I’ve never been good at forgiving myself or other people. I am definitely the person to hold a grudge. But there are numerous things that I would like to forgive myself for, a lot of which are personal. I’ll list two.

1. I need to forgive myself for the way I treated my parents when I was a teenager. I literally gave them hell through middle school. I treated them so freaking poorly, I don’t know how they ever forgave me. But over time and growing up, our relationship has definitely strengthened and healed. I love my parents unconditionally.

2. I need to forgive myself for intentionally hurting my body…In numerous ways. My depression and eating disorder took over EVERYTHING. And now, I look at myself and I have a daily reminder of what I put myself and my body through.


Day 1. Something you hate about yourself.
Day 2: Something you love about yourself.
Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.
Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.
Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.
Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living for.
Day 8: Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
Day 9: 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 play list 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?
