1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 41: Don’t Take Family for Granted.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 38: Philosophy and The Meaning of Life.

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.

Eighth day of my project of writing and posting 1000 words. It hasn't been that long and I can't even believe I've gotten this far.
