1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 61: Let Go of What You’re Attached To.

Today's my second day in a row without bud. In case you didn't know, I'm a daily toker, I have been for many years now. In the past few years I've started experimenting with setting goals for myself, daily goals as well as long-term goals. One example is my goal with alcohol. Back in the … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 61: Let Go of What You’re Attached To. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 60: Look For the Answer Within Yourself.

Sometimes it feels like nothing makes sense. Sometimes we feel tired, or angry, and we don't know why, we just feel like something's wrong, and we wish we could find out exactly what the problem is. We try to pass the time, to think about other things, to stay busy, or to sleep. We try … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 60: Look For the Answer Within Yourself. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 59: Methods For Getting Stoned.

I grew up with joints, my favorite way to blaze for a long time. It was great, taking my time to grind the bud, to roll the joint, and finally to find a comfortable spot to chill and blaze it at. It was so relaxing, the way the high from a joint slowly starts to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 59: Methods For Getting Stoned. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business.

I was born in the third world, right by the equator, in a country so hot and so violent you might think you're in hell if you came to visit. If you looked a bit closer though, you might find that it is also a place of peaceful villages, a place of family harmony, a … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say.

I hear people talk about so many useless and random things. I don't criticize them on the spot, or behind their back to anyone, since I remember the days when I also used to speak just for the sake of speaking, just to be seen, just to be heard and acknowledged. I always had to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 55: The Lessons You’ve Taught Me.

You make me see that things are not always as they seem, you make me appreciate the power of love, something I never believe in before. You taught me compassion, communion, you helped me to see that so much of my confusion was only a choice. You made me realize that I had a choice, … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 55: The Lessons You’ve Taught Me. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life.

Sometimes it's hard to let go of our ego. We talk about it, we say we believe in the Self beyond the ego, yet as soon as temptation comes we fall in its trap, as soon as anger and frustration hit, we are quick to let our wrath unfold upon everything in its path. We … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired.

Today was another day. I'm tired, but I have enough energy to learn, to read, to write. I'm faded, I ate some pizza so I feel a bit heavy, but I'm comfortable. Today I was thinking back on my fam, the ways in which they may have changed while I've been gone away, the way … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life.

So many things on my mind that I want to write down, but when I sit down to write it's like I don't know what or how. It reminds me of how I started my very first post of this daily thousand-word series. Although some days I feel more clarity than others, most times I … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life. →
