500 WORDS, DAY 134: We Have to Keep Moving

Wow. I can’t believe I’ve posted on here for one hundred and thirty-four days straight. I’m not sure what my last record was, but I’m pretty sure this is the longest I’ve gone with this goal. I’m almost half a year in, and in a way, it actually seems to be getting easier, as if … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 134: We Have to Keep Moving →

500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It

Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It →

500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written

You tremble as you sit in the dark contemplating your mortality. The invisible hand of God hovers over your head. Death is certain, and the time it will come is unknown. Unknown until it comes. Then when it comes, it stays unknown. At least to the human brain. I don’t know if we know how … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written →

500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)

Stream of consciousness. I guess I’ll start with this though I just thought of: It reminds me of an audiobook I really love by Ram Dass, titled The Journey of Awakening. It starts out describing a typical person’s morning, waking up and finding oneself bombarded by “a raging, roaring river of thoughts” about everything from … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3) →

500 WORDS, DAY 98: Don’t Waste Your Life

Another day ends and we think nothing of it. We don’t feel any older, yet our body knows it, and so does our mind. The mind is no longer the same, but that same mind can’t perceive it. Changes are inevitable, and they happening constantly. These changes are all happening way too quickly for us … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 98: Don’t Waste Your Life →

500 WORDS, DAY 97: A More Individualistic World

We really do live in a time that is very different than any other time before it. Of course, no second is equal, and life and the world are constantly changing, but what I mean by this time being really different than any previous time in history is that there is so much that is … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 97: A More Individualistic World →

500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)

Apathy. Sometimes I can’t be bothered to think too much. Thinking is good. Thinking and thinking is interesting. Thinking and thinking and thinking is fascinating, but just when do we cross the line into overthinking? Overthinking is exhausting. It’s relative though. What’s overthinking to me might not be for you. Who knows. We all have … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2) →

500 WORDS, DAY 95: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 1)

A blank page. A blank canvas. Painting the emotions of my soul. Writing down the words that run through my head. Thinking about life. About the past. About the present. The future. Plans. Lessons to learn from. Decisions to make. It never ends. Life is constantly dying and being reborn. What does it mean to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 95: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 1) →

500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics

Yesterday I wrote about the great extent in which hip-hop and its culture influenced me when I was a lot younger, even if not always positively. That influence has been with me up to this point, but just recently it’s starting to really feel like my mind and personality have changed enough that I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics →
