500 Words, Day 158. I really liked yesterday’s post. Good posts make me feel like a writer. Today I stare at a blank page and have no idea what to write. It makes me feel like an imposter. Like someone who wants to write, or to be a writer. What’s the difference? Well, a writer … Continue reading Day 158

500 WORDS, DAY 75: True Peace of Mind is Hard to Find
As we grow older, we realize that all we truly want is peace, both peace of mind and peace in the external sense.

If we can share that … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 75: True Peace of Mind is Hard to Find
500 WORDS, DAY 62: The Struggle That is Life
Life can get tiring. I’m sure this truth is clear to most, if not all. There's nothing mind-blowing or groundbreaking about that statement, but since I have to get my daily post done, and that’s what I have on my mind at the time, I have to write it, I can't just ignore it. Anxiety … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 62: The Struggle That is Life
500 WORDS, DAY 57: Fascination with Life and its Mysteries
Everything seems corny and stupid to write about sometimes. Every idea seems ridiculous and simply not worth mentioning. I don’t know why it happens, since other days I write the exact same kinds of random things and I feel like it’s all good, like it just works. Today it just feels weird though, like, why … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 57: Fascination with Life and its Mysteries
500 WORDS, DAY 52: Is Romance an External Search for Meaning?
Yesterday I was writing about love and romantic relationships, and how they can be a truly underrated source for finding meaning in one’s life, especially in today’s fast-paced, digital day and age.

500 WORDS, DAY 51: Don’t Hate on Love
Nowadays it's cool to hate on love. As illustrated by the rise of nihilism and cynical attitudes, many of us are too jaded to ever see true love as a possibility in our lives. We might find the whole question of whether romantic love even exists or not completely irrelevant, since we might feel like … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 51: Don’t Hate on Love
500 WORDS, DAY 44: We’re All Addicted to Something
Yesterday I was writing about the topic of weed addiction. I know a lot of people would say weed isn’t even addictive, and I actually used to think the exact same thing when I started getting high on it, so I honestly don’t blame anyone who believes it. I used to listen to songs like … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 44: We’re All Addicted to Something
500 WORDS, DAY 40: Time Can’t Be Easily Defined
Yesterday I wrote about time. It’s been a recurring topic all throughout this newest writing experiment of mine, of which today marks the fortieth consecutive day. Time has also been a recurring concern of mine for as long as I can remember. Time; this invisible yet inescapable, incredibly mysterious concept that seems to be totally … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 40: Time Can’t Be Easily Defined
500 WORDS, DAY 35: I Am That I Am
We left off yesterday with the question of whether time is the ultimate reality or the ultimate illusion? We take time for granted precisely because it feels no different than reality itself. What’s the feeling of time? Think about it. Isn’t it just the feeling of life passing by, therefore being the feeling behind every … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 35: I Am That I Am
500 WORDS, DAY 29: The Inspiration to Live
Yesterday I was writing about work, about how it relates to our limited time on this earth and how we choose to spend it, or rather, how we would choose to spend it if we were truly free.
