"We are all carrying so many things in our life, and inside ourselves... Where do you place the questions you carry? The sadness and the epiphanies? The quiet worries? Where can you put down the truth, as messy and new and raw as it sometimes feel?" (Sabrina Ward Harrison)
so, i was thinking. i want to write my story-- to make sense of this mess, and to celebrate it, in a way. i want to probe into the deep dark recesses of my being, and bring out words and stories and verses into the light. and i don't want to do it alone. would you like to go with me? are you brave enough, and have the strength and energy enough to dig deep down into yourself too?
well, if you just want to write, that's enough.
anyways, i am proposing TRUTH THURSDAYS (if you have a problem with the name, tough). i have this journal (The True and the Questions by Sabrina Ward Harisson) that i got last year with a bunch of questions that are really hard to answer. i've already done a few posts with it here, here, here, and here. i figure that we can start from these questions. so here are the mechanics of TRUTH THURSDAYS:
- Every Thursday, i will post a question or a prompt on this blog and participants will write something that answers the question or was inspired by it. (or post pictures or artworks!)
- Participants who wrote something for that Thursday must leave a link on the comment box of that day's prompt to let people know that they have posted.
- TRUTH THURSDAY must be on the Title of your entry, followed by the question (so people will know).
- This does not have to be emo-- although these things tend to be a bit on the emo side, but TRUTH THURSDAYS are meant to be a fun way to bond through blog, and to get people writing and posting something meaningful and real. (disclaimer: this isn't to say that you're not doing so already!)
- No pressure. Just be inspired and post something!
- Be TRUTHFUL!
So. yeah. you guys game? watch out for the first question this Thursday.
