Sunshine 2019: Prompt Seven

Prompt 7: Be Your Own Light

As the sunshine_challenge continues, we invite everyone to reflect and share what things you love about yourself. More details below the cut. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!



We wanted to end this challenge with something a little different.

At this time, we want to encourage everyone to make a post to discuss at whatever length comfortable something they love about themselves. We recognize that this is both very introspective and personal, and that sharing the results can be difficult. If you need to keep your post private, that’s fine! What’s important is that we all take this opportunity to be daring and push ourselves out of our comfort zones in order to be more kind to others, but more specifically ourselves on this one. Reflecting on ourselves and putting it in writing is the goal.

If you are able to share your post in some way, we also invite you to ask your friend list to comment and add things they love about you as well. You may well be surprised by the results.

Just remember that we could all use a little sunshine in our lives, and while it's great to have friends and family who love and support you, it important to recognize that sometimes we need to be our own light. Be warm and bright. Love yourself. ♥




Once you’ve finished your post, leave a comment to this post saying you’ve done it! Include a link to your pages if you feel comfortable doing so. Let everyone know whether you are "Ready for visitors!" or "Lurking for fandom fun".

Most importantly, please check through the comments and go visit new journals, comment on their shiny posts, and maybe make a new friend or two. We encourage everyone to aim to comment on two new journals if they are able (of course, you are welcome to do more!). ♥

Thanks for sharing! (And I wish I could teleport and try out your cooking. Adventurous cooks are great to know even if not every kitchen experiment ends up being a success. My worst experiment was following a recipe for "healthy" brownies that were a sad abomination and didn't even deserve the name dessert, but I tried.)

Here's mine, I didn't really say much, ready for visitors I guess...

Mine is posted under a lock because that was enough of a challenge for me to ponder and share. I will keep checking everyone's posts, but if you are like me and are struggling to share, feel free to make it a locked or private post. It's more important that you recognize good things about yourself and put them in black-and-white than show it to other people; if sharing in a public post is too much, you're not alone!

Excellent point.

[lightbird]

Here is my short post about this. :)

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us! That's a great post--short and sweet. :)

It takes a while to get there, because insecurities and brainweasels, but I do get there. Visitors welcome, and I suspect others can spot the good qualities faster and easier than I can.

[oldtoadwoman]

Huzzah for fighting the brainweasels!

[octahedrite]

Did my best but this was kind of hard. :P All welcome. https://octahedrite.dreamwidth.org/11925.html

[enemytosleep]

Yeah, this prompt was definitely a challenge for a lot of us!

[runpunkrun]

I did it! Still deciding if I want to post.

[enemytosleep]

I ended up posting mine under friend-lock, so if you decide to keep it private (or semi-private) that's totally fine! I'm just glad that you were able to put pen-to-paper and acknowledge good things. :D
