100 Things I LOVE - 100 Things I Hate

Hey, I was going to sign up for this one when I first saw it because all I could see what "100 Things I LOVE" and that sounded cool and positive, but then I clicked on the link and found that you also want a list of 100 things we hate. That's really negative. I don't want to put that much negativity into the universe and definitely don't want to share my negativity with someone else. Maybe if you make another swap with just positive things, I'll join. Just a thought.

yeah i'm definitely into the 100 things i love but not hate part either.

I would do the love part too! I am also trying to shed negativity and focus on good. Let me know if you do a + one! thx. ps. how does this relate to scrapbooking? Just curious.

Hi

Thought I would add my two cents..............

I have done two "negative" 100 lists - and I must say that I found it therapeutic. However I have also avoided negative list at times because I know myself - and if you are not in the right mindspace, have the good support etc. doing it can be counter active.........

Definitely have 1 good and 1 not so good together is a great idea because you balance it out.

What I did once was give people the option to do one of the two and to do two for hearts.

Just throwing out some thoughts.

Think you should keep this swap as is.

Im not sure I actually hate a 100 things

Thanks for all the comments & suggestions - I really appreciate them. I am so sorry if I made anyone upset by listing the 100 I hate but it can also be silly --- some that I seen on the scrapbooking pages that night were "gummy worms", "re-runs on t.v", "dust bunnies", "housework", I am not trying to make anyone depressed - or feel negative - Again, Thank you for the comments and checking out the swap - I appreciate it.

you are SO right, thank you for reminding me that BALANCE is a good thing!

After careful consideration and reading the comments that followed mine, I have decided that the list of things I hate might actually be productive in that I could realize the hatred I should release. But finding 100 things I hate will be difficult. Anyway, this is probably a good swap and I look forward to it.

Hahahah, the comments on here are too funny. I think some people took this waaaay to seriously :)

Dito! In fact, they can all list their first entry of "100 things I hate" as "I hate it when I have to make a list of things I hate"! Brilliant. Now there's only 99 to go :D

I think a list of "hates" is a good thing, because it doesn't have to be negative. If you want you can interpret it as "things I don't like", which sounds less extreme, and list things like "I don't like it when people are mean to each other". That's really something possitive, isn't it? None of us like everything, and that makes us who we are. This is a great way to define the way you see the world, instead of thinking about it as another way to spread some hatred around.

hahaha, yeah, we are serious sillies aren't we! Makes me laugh now too.

thank you elmi! I agree - this list doesn't have to be negative at all - I think it's a great idea

crud.. i missed this.. maybe there will be another one :)

Its hard to do the negatives, but I finished it; finally. Now for the silly decorations...
