Each year I ask myself these 40 questions. This will be my eleventh year. It's still one of my favorite rituals. It helps me see how phases of my life wax and wane. Each year new translations come in. We're up to 30 languages! Thank you to all the contributors 🥰 stephango.com/40-questions

A very good ritual, I have already made my first "tour" of 40 questions. I am looking for a word to replace “hate” in question #23 and I have added two more questions: 41. What was the best exhibition you visited? 42. Is there anyone who felt disappointed by something you said or did?

every year when I look at that question I think "hate" is such a strong word, and I cannot think of anyone I truly hate — but I like reminding myself of this fact ...nevertheless I do end up thinking of one or two people who deeply disappointed me, and it's a good exploration of those feelings 🙃

Yes, I agree. I was also pleased to realize once again that “hate” is not a word for me. In the end I settled for “disappoint”, and I thought it's a good thing to think about it the other way around as well (whoever may hate me or whoever I may have disappointed).
