I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you'll be able to reconnect to your home and memories through the movie.

I think that as with any kind of writing, responding to a prompt can sometimes spark nothing... but for me, if I just start writing something, anything, an idea will come.

Sometimes I have to really think hard and if nothing comes just admit it and move on to the next one.

I like these 3 prompts too.

These are good prompts. I've been around the 30-Day for awhile so some were familiar. Now I'm trying to learn to spin them in a new way or make the old news work better.

That One Friend

PROMPT January 17th

Use the following words in your entry today: tumultuous, navigate, journey, and gargantuan.

Have you ever had that one friend that makes you wonder why the heck you're even friends? You know. The one you love dearly. The one you want to see succeed. The one you hope experiences only the best in life. And no matter how you try to love them and encourage them and support them, they still suck the life right out of you?

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

I've got one of those friends. She's a smart, witty, loving individual. But her life is a constant and tumultuous battle with everything throughout the day. Someone has wronged her in some way, shape, or form. Someone doesn't like her and she doesn't understand why. Someone's out to get her or make her look bad. Someone wants her job. Even when it isn't true!

For some reason her life journey is always on a path to sadness and grief. Instead of experiencing the happiness and joy of those around her and the joys that are apparent in her life she ruminates on the past and all the negative challenges and outcomes of her life.

She navigates life like a salmon. Always swimming upstream. Everything for her is so hard. And it doesn't have to be!

Her life can be so much more. She has so much to give. And honestly, people want to love her...but they can't. For them it's just too hard. If only she could see the gargantuan mistake she's making by approaching life from the side of lack instead of the side of abundance.

Sometimes I feel pity for her. Sometimes I'm just plain angry. But at the end of the day I love her as part of my family.

So I guess she'll remain that ONE friend who sucks the life out of me, even though I wish only the best for her.

You've got one of those, right?
