I was born in the beautiful, tropical country of Honduras, a small nation located in Central America, bordering Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, where my mother’s family is originally from. I’m part Brazilian as well from my father’s side but my brothers and I were all born in Honduras where my parents met. In all … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 156: Growing Up In Two Different Cultures

500 WORDS, DAY 155: Life In A Haze
What is this life I live now? So far from the days of excitedly reading psychedelic trip reports on Erowid, longing for a vision of life I always imagined and romanticized in my thoughts, a life of travel and adventure and freedom. What is this life, this 9-to-5 life, with this hypocritical society and all … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 155: Life In A Haze
500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia
Joy and sadness all come over me and converge into a constant feeling of melancholy, a faint satisfaction which is strange to try to describe, as I think of what I’ve sacrificed and what I’ve gained, both consciously and unconsciously, throughout the fleeting years of my life up until now. That melancholy has become so … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia
500 WORDS, DAY 115: Notes from My Past
Since I didn't write anything new today, and this daily goal merely entails I post the necessary amount of words per day, I had to go back into some of my old writing in order to make sure I didn't miss my goal. It feel strange posting something from the past, but I think at … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 115: Notes from My Past
500 WORDS, DAY 99: Weed: Zooming Into Your Thoughts
I’ve seen a lot of posts online from people who have decided to quit weed because all of a sudden, after many years of use without any issues, they’ve started having nothing but anxious and paranoid experiences with it, some that have even ended up spiraling into full-blown panic attacks. Reading these kinds of posts … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 99: Weed: Zooming Into Your Thoughts
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
500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
I have changed a lot over the years. There’s a lot I’d like to do that I haven’t accomplished yet, and there are a lot of changes I am still struggling to make, but I can definitely say I am happy with some of the changes I’ve implemented in my life up to this point, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
500 WORDS, DAY 82: Blessings in Disguise: Take Nothing for Granted
I’ve always been fairly healthy throughout most of my life. Although overall that’s still the case, and I’m extremely grateful for that, this year has been slightly different than every other year I’ve lived through so far. Towards the end of 2023 I started getting all kinds of symptoms of what I eventually realized was … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 82: Blessings in Disguise: Take Nothing for Granted
500 WORDS, DAY 66: Children
Today I thought I’d write about children. The question of children is on my mind lately because of my age. I’m 29, turning thirty in a couple months, and my wife and I have been married since 2017. We’ve actually known each other for pretty much exactly ten years now, but we’ve been married for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 66: Children
500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
Yesterday I introduced the idea of changing up the method by which I get these daily posts done. The change I’m referring to is that now, instead of randomly writing about whatever comes to mind, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness manner, I will instead choose one specific topic to write about, and I will go … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
