I thought I'd just take a moment to reflect today on all the goals I'm currently working on achieving, and since I've yet to write today's thousand words anyway, I thought writing about my goals would be a great way to reflect on them a for good while.

I was born in the beautiful, extremely hot and tropical country of Honduras.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.
I wonder why God wanted Adam and Eve to live in ignorance. It seems that once the snake showed up it opened their eyes to the fact that God lied. He had told them that if they ate from the fruit of the forbidden tree they would surely die. As we know though, they didn't … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 15: What’s the Point of It All?
Sometimes we wonder why we should even try, we awake with this doubt, with its accompanying thoughts and feelings, they hold us down to our comfortable beds, comfortably numb but held down by our own weight.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 12: Impermanence of Life, Strength of Spirit.
Life flows from one moment to the next, from pleasure to pain, non-stop. We wonder what it all means, what is the right way to live, or the wrong way.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 10: Cannabis, Self-Reflection and Writing.
The culture here in Honduras is very different from the one I experienced and became a part of in Canada. Most of the experiences which have truly shaped my personality the most up to this point are those that I had in Canada after my parents decided to move there when I was ten, at least until recently when … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 10: Cannabis, Self-Reflection and Writing.
