Sometimes I don’t know what to write about, not because I have nothing on my mind, but because I know that, in this life, everything is ultimately relative, and my thoughts on anything could change at any time. I mean, that has to be the right way to live, because otherwise you just close yourself … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 94: What to Write About? All is Relative…
It's sad how so many people can't peacefully coexist with others simply because they are different from them or they hold different views and opinions. You would think doing so isn't so hard to do, but maybe you would just be a reasonable and peaceful person trying to live your life and go about your … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 89: State of the World, & State of Mind
So, today is day 88 of this writing challenge I’ve set for myself, which consists of posting 500 daily words on here. It’s cool that I’m very close to a hundred days, but I do have to admit that not everything has necessarily gone according to plan. Now, that doesn’t mean anything has actually gone … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 88: Literary Detour
It's crazy that many of us never fully realize just how much of an impact our very existence has on the people around us, and just how much we might matter to certain people. We might not really feel too connected to anyone in our lives, so we could feel like we don't really matter … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 73: We’re Not Always Aware of Our Impact
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
Music is something truly magical. It’s always been crazy to me how something like a chord progression or a drum rhythm can make you feel a certain way. The way certain instruments sound as well, like a beautiful saxophone or string solo in a song, is just heavenly. It can put you at ease and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
Today I thought I’d pay homage to some of the writers who have most inspired me to do this. One big influence on me is Jack Kerouac. I don’t remember what came first, me reading ‘On the Road’ or my fascination with the counterculture of the sixties, but I know whichever came second only amplified … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations
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. Now, you might say the notion of finding real meaning in love or romance is ridiculous in itself because, after all, how can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 52: Is Romance an External Search for Meaning?
Sometimes we get so caught up in shit that we forget about the things that truly matter most in our lives. Sometimes our hearts hurt from longing, desperately longing for some place other than the present, somewhere other than where we are now, even when things aren’t particularly bad for us. We feel trapped for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation
It’s been almost fifty days of my current writing experiment, my goal of posting at least five hundred daily words on my blog, and although I constantly think of quitting, either from a place of laziness or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m glad I’ve persevered through it so far. I find that, at times, I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 48: My Writing is Random Because Life Is
